Hideaway peace
What a beautiful, peaceful place. We loved the house and property. It was close enough to go eat and enjoy town but yet secluded and peaceful. Really enjoyed the stay.
Our family took our 79 year old mom to see the painted churches. We all stayed at The Hideaway. It was so beautiful and peaceful. We all enjoyed spending time out on the porch just enjoying nature and family time. This place is so nice and clean and our host was very courteous and friendly. We would definitely stay here again!
We took a weekend with our grandkids to relax and go to waterpark. My grandkids loved the pool and my husband and I loved the quiet. Loved the history of the home. Will come again.
Just got home from a lovely relaxing weekend. We stayed to go to a family wedding and wanted to stay with family members and not in a hotel. It was perfect for 7 adults to feel like we all had space and not on top of each other. We all got time to enjoy the outdoors and the back patio eating and drinking morning coffee. Great time had by all!!
We spent our Thanksgiving holidays at The Hideaway to be close to our family to celebrate in Flatonia. It was a magnificent stay and so peaceful and quiet. We loved reading about the property’s history and seeing the amazing and transformative renovation on this special home. The beds were comfy, the cleanliness was exceptional and the management, Sarah Kate, always responded immediately with helpful information. I cannot say enough to show how wonderful this property is. If you get a chance to stay here, you are very lucky. What a beautiful home! Thank you!!

Excellent stay!
My family and I had the most relaxing time! The house is comfortable, beds are great, very clean and well equipped. The property is secluded, so great time to relax, barbecue, watch and hear the nature around us. Be aware of the spiders, scorpions and wasps which is expected when outside. The backyard is not fully fenced, so our dog ran away once but came right back. We will definitely be back to enjoy this beautiful property and views! Couldn’t ask for a better stay!

Happy at Hideaway
We enjoyed the Hideaway so much! It is a precious house. We took my mom and her sisters to see the Painted Churches. This house added joy to our experience. We loved reading the history on the house, enjoyed time visiting on the porches and saw wildlife (deer, fox). Our contact, Sarah, was very helpful and we appreciate her kindness and her time answering all my questions while planning our quick trip. Everything was great!
This place was so nice I really didn’t want anyone to know about it … if you are looking to hideaway this is the place to do it in style … peaceful, serene and picturesque … no detail was missed in the design of this beautiful family getaway!

Beautiful, relaxing weekend getaway
We had a wonderful time at this beautifully restored home. Huge front and back porches with locally crafted rocking chairs and swings made the sunsets and sunrises comfortable and relaxing! We enjoyed seeing the cows and deer, wading in the cowboy pool, and watching the stars at night. Close to wineries, great food and the painted churches, this is a perfect spot! And our hosts thought of every detail—from games, to fans, to leaving fresh eggs for us (thank you)!! We will definitely come back!
What I enjoyed the most was the quiet. Just to sit outside and listen to the crickets and occasional moos from the cows roaming around. Such a beautiful property, I hated having to leave! My only negative would be the uncomfortable chairs in the living room, but that would not deter me from visiting again. Loved reading about the history of the house, thanks for sharing your lovely place in the country.
