How 7F Lodge Started: A Brief History of the Original Cabin
The Hill Country Lodge has a rich history dating back to the Great Depression, during which it was first built by the three Frierson brothers. This secluded cabin became a sanctuary for their hunting adventures, a “No Women Allowed” zone.
Many years later, Carol stumbled upon the cabin, finding a lost doll’s bottle that rekindled her connection to the land. As the first woman in over a century to inherit the family brand, she lovingly renovated the lodge, infusing it with her own special touch. Now, the original cabin, AHA the Hill Country Lodge, is a cherished place, radiating a healing and sacred energy, ready to welcome you and other guests with open arms.
