Quiet, pleasant place. The cabin was perfect for the two of us. Comfortable bed and pillows. Wildlife was nice. Apples were left on the table to feed the donkeys, Paco and Pancho. Delicious cookies were also left on the table for us humans! Guinea hens, chickens, and a beautiful peacock roamed freely but not bothersome. Hosts Amy and Mike made us feel welcome! They are very service minded and wanted things to be perfect for the guests. Each morning we looked forward to good breakfast food and conversation with the hosts and other guests. We will definitely return.

The Writer's Cabin is magical! The hosts are so sweet and thoughtful. The cabin is cozy and decorated with family pictures and memorabilia. We were even treated to homemade cookies and a bowl full of apples to feed to the donkeys. The favorite parts of our stay were getting loved up by a little orange cat named Benji, feeding the donkeys, hearing the roosters, looking at all the decor, and ending our evenings rocking on the porch. Highly recommend and hope to return soon!

The hosts, Mike and Amy, were friendly and accomodating. The cabin was very well taken care of and clean. It was like having a comfy home away from home. Amy had the cabin cool for us when we got there. She had homemade cookies to greet us, as well. They were delicious. It was far enough away from town that it was peaceful and quiet, but not to far away to go eat and shop in the near-by towns. This is our second time to stay here and will not be our last.

The cabin was a wonderful set-up for coming home after the day out and about town. Saved us some travel time coming into/leaving town instead of driving to Fredericksburg (and cost effective too). The breakfasts were great, just need to be willing to wake up for meal time as there was one time with the hosts/other guests. Would stay again.

Wonderful!

The Writer's Cabin on Amy and Michael's farm is a perfect getaway from the city. Perfect location in Johnson City with easy access to Fredericksburg, Marble Falls, and Pedernales Falls State Park. The cabin is clean and has more amenities than advertised. We were welcomed with homemake cookies! There is a small kitchenette and ample sized bathroom. Apples on the table are for the sweet donkeys. The best part of the stay is Amy and Michael's fresh hot breakfast each morning. We loved our visit and getting to know the history of the cabin. Cannot thank Amy and Michael enough for their hospitality.

Our stay in this unique hobby farm experience was a total delight! The Writer's Cabin was adorable, comfortable, clean, and memorable. It came with everything needed for our stay, and nice amenities included a coffee maker and supplies, homemade cookies, chilled bottled water, a bowl of fruit (including apples to feed the donkeys), microwave popcorn, and instant oatmeal. There was a nice desk if needed and wi-fi. My favorite amenity of all was the friendly orange tabby cat who was all too happy to sit on my lap! The home cooked included breakfast was delicious, and visiting with the hosts and other guests made it all the more fun! Check-in was easy and low-key. Our stay was perfect and you can't go wrong with this option in Johnson City, Texas.

The writers cabin

We stayed in the writers cabin over the Christmas holiday to see the Lights Spectacular. The cabin was a nice size for the 2 of us. The accommodations within the cabin were good and super close to town. Amy and Mike were some of the most hospitable hosts we've ever encountered via VRBO. The donkeys... super friendly, but once you fed them an apple, they expected it every time they saw you! HAHA The BnB offered breakfast w/their fresh farm eggs (lots of chickens on property). They also gifted us with a holiday tin of homemade oatmeal cookies. We will come stay again. Note: The online listing only shows a portion of the cabin. They have a little kitchenette (no stove) with mini-fridge, microwave, a Keurig coffee maker and provide k-cups. They also have a TV with cable and Netflix. Also, a country style bathroom with a 4ft shower, which was pretty spacious for a small cabin.

What wonderful memories we will have of our experience here with Mike and Amy. The little cabin is beautifully furnished with family treasures and we loved hearing stories behind them. We so enjoyed just sitting on the front porch rockers enjoying the sights and sounds of the farm. Breakfasts were incredible and conversation with Mike and Amy were like being with family . We found some new treasured friends here and we will be back. Thanks to our hosts for a marvelous, warm experience !!

Mike and Amy are definitely Superhosts!!! From check in, hospitality at their home cooked breakfast with fresh eggs right off their farm, to sharing their inquisitive donkeys, this was an A* rental for us! The Writers Cabin had so much history and the country was so quiet at night. We will definitely be back when traveling to the wine country!

I spent three days at the cabin. The farm is relaxing and fun and very quiet. It’s a great location for hiking, hitting up the wineries, or hanging out in Fredericksburg. It was a great getaway and you couldn’t ask for better hosts. Don’t even think about leaving without their delicious breakfast!

This was amazing! We loved the cabin and the animals. The cabin had everything we needed and more, and it was very clean. We were so relaxed we slept late and missed breakfast both days! We got so much rest. Our host, Amy was so sweet. She came over to chat with us on the porch and we talked for a long time. I think we may have solved all the world's problems :) My husband and I fed the donkeys and played with all of Amy's pets. My favorite time was a visit to the chicken coop. I highly recommend you stay here. You will feel like you have been gone a month. Thank you Amy for all your hospitality. We had the best time!!!

Such a great place! So quiet! We were happily greeted every morning and evening by 2 very friendly donkeys! Benji (cat) and I bonded while sitting in the porch in the rocking chairs. Although we didn’t get breakfast, we know we missed out! But next time we definitely will be joining!
