About this property

Peaceful rustic cabin in the country with Views, Hot Tub, and Fireplace.

This is a little peaceful cabin/house on the Pedernales River arm of Lake Travis out in the country. Update fall 2023, while the views and peace are as great as ever, the Pedernales River is more of a creek than a river. We are across from the Blissful Hill wedding venue.

Our home sits up on a bluff overlooking the Pedernales river with river and canyon views. The river is low right now, but there is still water to gaze out on, along with lots of sky, birds, canyons, and an expansive feeling of nature.

There is complete privacy on one side of the home where our two year old hot tub (serviced weekly) is located. There are two bedrooms. One bedroom has a king bed and the other has two doubles. There is one full bath and a second half bath. . There is a flat screen TV in the living and each of the bedrooms.

If you start craving action, we are centrally located between Austin and Marble Falls and only 15 minutes to the Lakeway Hill Country Galleria's restaurants, shops and theaters. Or maybe just open a bottle of wine and hang out on the deck on the porch swing. Or take off down to Krause Spring's famous spring-fed swimming hole and butterfly garden a couple minutes a way. Or try some new wines from Stone House Winery, also just a few minutes away. And of course Opies Barbeque and Poodie's Roadhouse, and Angels are famous in Spicewood.

If you have friends or family or an event in this area or just want to getaway from it all, you can't go wrong making this your home base. Send me an email or book online to make a reservation and let me know the nature of your stay and I'll get back with you ASAP.

Wonderful lakeside place!
House was spacious, very nice, very clean, nice furniture. Kitchen utensils and other items well-stocked. Porch deck with furniture was excellent. View of lake was very nice, even though it is currently low. Good bird watching, if you like that. Access to a number of parks for exploring local wildlife and wildflowers: Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge, Pedernales Falls State Park, Milton Reimer Ranch Park. These are all very good if you are new to this part of Texas. Communication with host was good. If we make it back to Texas hill country, this is definitely a place we would stay again.

Excellent cabin house
We enjoyed our stay at the rustic cabin house and locations and accessibility to grocery store and Krause springs were closer- we also liked the angels icehouse restaurant nearby. Would highly recommend for a family

Peaceful
House was everything we needed for our weekend stay. Evenings out on the back deck were very peaceful and relaxing. Hot tub was a plus too. Would definitely come back with family.

About the host

Hosted by Vicki or Gerald Lamar

Host profile image
We live in Austin and like to escape to the Hill Country for a quick getaway for some peace and relaxation.

Why they chose this property

We like the peaceful, country laid-back feel out here, the many moods of the weather (usually very breezy) sitting on the deck overlooking the River below and the decidedly Not City life out here. One of the best springfed swimming holes, Krause Springs is just minutes away or enjoy an afternoon picnic at The Stone House Winery just down the country road. Opie's BarBQ is an easy drive towards Spicewood.

What makes this property unique

This is a good home base between Lakeway and Marble Falls or a day trip to Fredericksburg or Johnson City or to Austin to visit 6th Street The Live Music Capital of the World or the University of Texas Campus or the LadyBird Wildflower Center.
