Want to get out and enjoy the natural beauty of South Texas while enjoying the comforts of home? Why camp when you can Glamp? Located between Pleasanton & the Choke Canyon Reservoir, our retreat is perfect for nature lovers, wildlife photographers, artists, bird watchers, hunters, fishermen, a "Momcation", and/or a girls weekend or get together! You can play games, sit around the firepit, bird watch, animal/wildlife watch, or just hang out to rest and enjoy the surroundings! If you just want to get away from the city and look at the stars, that is okay too. Join us for a slice of South Texas peace & quiet, with a little bit of adventure out in nature.
This 1,600 sq ft, air-conditioned, stucco and tile home sleeps up to 9 with up to 3 separate sleeping spaces and two bathrooms. The house is almost all one level with a few steps up to the porch and a few steps down to get to the master bedroom and patio.

Two Bathrooms
One Step-In Shower, one Bathtub, and one Clawfoot Tub will assure you that the kids who went swimming will be clean by dinnertime and the fishermen (& women) in your party don’t go to bed smelling of fish.
Fully Stocked Kitchen
This kitchen has all the pots, pans, & cooking utensils you need. Crockpot, Keurig, and blender are all available for your use as well as the usual kitchen appliances, including microwave and dishwasher. There is a large pantry so you can do your shopping on the way in and not have to head into town for a week.
Living/Dining
Relax on our comfy sofa while soaking up the AC in the midday heat. The open space living room/dining room with WiFi, Firestick, & HDMI enabled television allows you to keep the group together, whether you are watching a movie, playing an epic board game, or cooking a large meal together.
Star Gazing on the Back Patio
This is where the stars come to shine. After grilling up dinner on the gas grill & roasting marshmallows around the fire pit, take the telescope to the patio and watch the stars. See if you can name the constellations, or just convince someone that “the Fluffy Bunny is totally a constellation”. We also have horseshoes and cornhole for you to play on the lawn while you wait for the stars to appear. Week-long family tournaments are encouraged.
Dawn on the Front Porch
This is the quiet time. The time you get to have for yourself. Get your coffee, sneak out the front door, and enjoy the sounds of the world waking up in the dawn from the chairs on the porch.
You can read, do puzzles, play games, sit around the firepit, bird watch, animal/wildlife watch, or just hang out to rest and enjoy the surroundings!
Prime Location
Pleasanton is just north of Hindes Hideaway and hosts the Atascosa Flea Market every Friday in front of the Atascosa Livestock Exchange. You can also shop at the Royal Farmers Market on Saturday for fresh produce and heavenly baked goods.
Choke Canyon Reservoir is about a 50-minute drive to the east. Known for great boating and fishing, this is also a stop for many migratory birds and is teeming with wildlife.
If a trip into San Antonio for a day is on your mind, it is about an hour north. You can check out the Missions Complex by biking between them along San Antonio’s world-famous River Walk. Remember the Alamo! It is worth the drive to town.
Chaparral Wildlife Management Area is nearby as well and known for its hiking and wildlife, however, please check the website for seasonal openings.
The house is secluded but we ask that you stay in the yard in order to respect our neighbors and their property.
Pack your hiking boots, swimsuits, and camera equipment if you're planning a trip to Choke Canyon or Chapparal. This is going to be a getaway you want to get back to, year after year.
We have Hunting & Fishing Connections in the area and are very resourceful! If you are interested in booking a private paid hunt or fishing trip nearby, ask when you inquire about booking our lodge!
A guided hunt on a nearby private ranch is an excellent way to make sure that your party enjoys their time out in the brush while also getting the best that the area can offer.
We have contacts that specialize in:
Dove
Quail
Whitetail deer
Turkeys
Exotics (like Axis, Blackbuck, Fallow, White Sika, Nilgai, Gemsbok, Oryx, Red Stag, Aoudad Rams & Paint Rams)
and more
We also have Choke Canyon Fishing Guide Contacts.
Other Things to Note
WiFi
We have an AT&T Hotspot for WiFi.

The home is very creative, airy and full of spirit. If your expectations are pristine homes and perfect green lawns, this place is not for you. But if you are looking for a place that is clean, personality rich, stylish and an amenity full space in the south Texas Brush Country, this is your place! Hideaway in Hindes is for anyone looking to relax and take a step back from the everyday hustle and bustle of life.

Sometimes the owner will redecorate and/or remove an item, or discontinue a service after the information has been published. Due to Required Cleaning Policy we have removed all excessive decorative throw pillows, colorful quilts, pillow shams & fluffy throws. However, we will continue to make sure the home is always comfortable and functioning properly for our guests.
