    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!

    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.

    I enjoyed the time with my husband it was very peaceful and quiet. I just wish the cabin was facing the other direction from the main entrance to the main house. Made me feel uncomfortable.

    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 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.
