Overview: If you're looking for a Texas hill country getaway that offers true peace and quiet, a place where you can clear your head, rest, and relax, then look no f
urther than The Outpost. This lux vacation home is great for individuals, couples, families, and small bachelor/bachelorette groups. Our unique limestone and log cabin was constructed from various military, historical, and first-responder buildings from all across Texas, including The Alamo, Houston Firehouse #7, and the San Jacinto Monument! This one-of-a-kind property is only 14 miles away from the heart of downtown and only 8 miles from Enchanted Rock State Park. Nestled 2,100 feet high on a private hilltop, these 15 secluded acres are here for you, your family, and your fur babies to explore. The owners do not live on-site, and you do not have any close neighbors. The surrounding land is undeveloped and open on all sides making it feel like you have hundreds of miles to explore. Honoring America’s Hero’s: This rustic getaway is decorated with numerous military and first-responder artifacts, yet also provides all the comforts and luxuries of home. The owners of The Outpost are a proud military veteran and a dedicated registered nurse, and our stewardship towards our heroes means preserving their history. We have painstakingly restored many artifacts and identified their significance. In the cabin you will find inert military items, fire helmets, nursing equipment, law enforcement gear, uniforms, a Missing Man chair (you cannot sit on this chair), artifacts from many ships including the USS Constitution and the USS Independence, cannonballs, displays, and much, much more. Please feel free to handle and explore these items to connect with history (they are all inert). Even more fun elements of this cabin include a patch wall (bring your insignia or patches), a coin challenge, and an on-site fund-raiser with souvenirs for sale including engraved bricks.
