This Week at Al’s Hideaway

This week at Al’s Hideaway was a simple one — and sometimes simple is good.

One thing we’re really excited about is something happening just six minutes down the road. They’re building a brand-new state park — Albert and Bessie Kronkosky State Natural Area — and we couldn’t be more thrilled.

Al’s Hideaway is the closest glamping campground to it. In fact, we’re the closest campground, period.

We’re currently hosting the company tasked with building the trails, and just in conversation, I’ve learned a lot about trail building. These guys take it personally. There’s pride in what they’re doing. Coming out of the construction industry myself, it’s refreshing to talk shop with craftsmen who care about quality — the kind who take pride in putting their name on a finished product.

That’s something I understand.

We’ll keep everyone updated as things move toward the grand opening. It’s going to be a great addition to the area and another reason the Hill Country keeps getting better.

Al’s Hideaway had its name.

It had its home — the Texas Hill Country.

Now came the search for the right piece of land.

I already had it pictured in my mind — how the campground would be laid out, where the cabins would sit, how the roads would wind through the property. I had a pretty good idea of what it needed to look like.

Jennifer took the lead on the property search.

Looking back at all the signs and all the doors that opened at just the right time, there’s no doubt in our minds this was meant to be. We are so blessed. There were so many moments — miracles, if you will — that made this possible.

And one of the first miracles was Andrea at Cowgirl Realty.

She came along at the perfect time. With her knowledge and determination, there was never a doubt we would eventually find the right place.

After three months of looking at properties, we were about worn out. We were close to settling for something that wasn’t quite right — a “good enough” piece of land.

Then Andrea called.

She was excited. She said she had found it. The perfect property for us.

We went to look at it — the location, the size, the shape. It checked every single box.

But like my pappy always said,
“If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.”

And this one?
It seemed almost too good.

Had Andrea really found the perfect property?

Next week, I’ll tell you about our first visit to see it.

Until next week…

Happy Trails.
Be Safe & God Bless.
