Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway in Luling, TX, home of the Watermelon Thump. An early 1900s farmhouse completely renovated down to the studs and set in the country surrounded by country homes and a ranch with beautiful trees and lots of cows, you'll find peace and plenty of space.

My sister, Edie, and I had this crazy idea to move a house destined for demolition (because TX State needed the lot) to Luling, TX where we found a pretty lot and renovated it. Wow, it was an experience. It's all put together now with everything sparkly and new. I am a realtor, she is a nurse. We love our little jewel and hope you will too. We have enjoyed hosting guests here. We get really excited that our guests love it!

Most people enjoy the front or back porch just watching the cows go by next door or enjoying the pretty country views. We are close to the now largest Buccee's in the world! Some people get really excited about that. Others love the BBQ which Luling is very well known for. Also, need some carbs? Go to Swoonworthy Sourdough Artisan Bakery. It is swoonworthy. Want a lovely meal with just the right wine? Go to In Good Spirits. Their food and wine are divine. The Luling Lavender Fields is just down the street. They have a fun shop. You might drop by Cappleman's Cars. They have antique cars and the owner loves to show them and tell you all about them. Go for a hike at Palmetto State Park! The Ace Hardware has a great giftshop and garden shop in the back. Good shopping. You might like to make an appointment to see the AFT Distillery. They distill brandy in the Austrian tradition. Be sure to drop by the Oil Museum to see the relationship between Luling and oil going back to the early days. Float the river on the Luling Zedler Mill Paddling Trail. It takes 2-4 hours. Fun! The Zedler Mill is worth a visit. They also have a museum. There's plenty to do in Luling, but if you want to venture out, it's 1 hour to San Antonio, 1 hour to Austin, 2 hours to Houston and 40 minutes to San Marcos.
