We stayed for two nights and it was perfect. We were hoping for a quiet weekend on the river to celebrate our anniversary. And it was all we had hoped for and more. The cabin setting is great with easy access to the river. We took our kayaks, and paddled and fished all we wanted and also enjoyed splashing in the water, resting on the rocks along the rapids, watching the wildlife and just enjoying the peace and quiet. At night the stars are spectacular! I will take some water noodles or a pool float to enjoy the water even more when we return and camp chairs as sitting on the bank in the shade is also nice, but with ants sitting in the grass is risky.Patrick the owner/host is great!
The place was exactly as described and pictured. We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the river and the fire pit very much. We will definitely look up this cabin when we are back in the area!
Beautiful property, clean cabin, everything necessary for a peaceful, relaxing time away.
A wonderful place for hearing nothing but the peaceful flow of the river and the chirping of birds. At night the multitude of stars that can be seen are amazing and awe inspiring.
Thank you
We loved the location and how close we were to the river. The area is secluded and it was the perfect getaway for a few days. We would stay here again.
A perfect location to relax, rewind, refresh.
Beautiful location, dark starry nights, and the sound of the Llano river flowing several yards below the cabin. Easy access to several towns, such as Fredricksburg. Our host, Patrick, was wonderful and informative. This was our first time there, and look forward to another in the fall!
The cabin was a well designed and comfortable for two. The large porch was were we spent our time when we weren't relaxing or fishing in the river. You have private river access with a great entry point.
What a wonderful place to go to and just relax and unwind. The place is located on a beautiful spot on the llano river and you can fish or just sit on the bank and enjoy your surroundings. Nicely located between Mason and Fredericksburg. Will be staying there again very soon!
The property is absolutely perfect! So much history is just right there at your feet. My husband and I will definitely be booking this stay in the future.
We had a perfect anniversary getaway. We kayaked on the river and had so much fun. Patrick was a perfect host and shared the history of the area. We enjoyed learning! The cabin is perfect for a couple, very comfortable & charming.
What a great way to truly disconnect and be isolated!! The surrounding area was beautiful with fields of wildflowers. The sounds of nature are so soothing as well.
We really enjoyed our stay and weâre very happy when Patrick politely showed us around the property and made sure we had all we needed. Will be back!
Perfect spot to enjoy some peace and quiet, sit in the river to beat the heat, and chill. On top of that, Patrick is an awesome host. Will definitely be back.
This is hands down one of the best places to stay! My husband and I had our kids with us this time and both are ready to go back (ages 10 and 12) We fished they swam and just had a great time! Weather was dreary but it DID NOT slow us down! It is so peaceful and Patrick is a phenomenal host! We WILL be back to his place! Thank you so much again!
This place is heavenly! We spent the weekend here with our 15yr and 7yr boys and we had a blast! The cabin is so CLEAN, comfy beds, everything is truly perfect! We spent most of our time in the beautiful Llano River which is so easy to walk down to from the cabin. We floated on rafts and had a great time swimming and exploring the dam area. Patrick is the nicest most helpful person and made our stay so comfortable and relaxing! My husband and I canât wait to come back!
If you are looking for somewhere quite and remote, this is an excellent property. Cabin is very nice, clean, and well stocked. Easy access to the river. Overall, very relaxing. Patrick is an excellent host. He checked in a couple of times to see if there was anything we needed. He is a longtime resident of the area and shares a lot of interesting history of the area and community.
This has been our favorite VRBO yet! This cabin is ISOLATED in the hill country right on the Llano River. You could not ask for a more beautiful and serene place to escape. It was perfect for what we were searching for, limited cell phone coverage and no WIFI made it the perfect place for our weekend getaway. Be aware, though, you are definitely in the woods...there are certain aspects of camping you have to accept, like being around animals that live in the woods. If you are an outdoorsman this is perfect. The cabin was comfortable and well stocked, and the host was amazing. He met us there and took the time to go over everything about the cabin! Thank you Patrick for a fantastic weekend!
The Stars At Night, Are Big and Bright, Deep In The Heart Of Castell Texas!
Patrick, Rachel and Kona are wonderful hosts.
If you are seeking, privacy and lots of quiet time relaxing on a covered front porch, this is the place! The river and surrounding areas seem very remote but, you can zip up to Llano in 15 minutes or less depending on if you where raised in Texas.
Inside you will find comfort with a country charm that we found very welcoming. Outside at night time, you will find awesome dark skies that are a 2 on the Bortle Scale. The Milky Way and Jupiter, highlighted a very dark sky both nights of our stay.
Superb location to unplug, unwind and decompress from the hustle and bustle of city life!
Patrick is a great host. He met us at the property, told us the history, showed us the features of the cabin then left it to us. The quality of construction of the cabin was noticed throughout. The attention to detail is impressive in how the wood joints are perfect, pipes through walls are sealed, and door closes solid. Ceiling fans turn without noise and vibration. This place is well thought out with some neat one of a kind furnishings. We didn't cook while we were there but the kitchen has everything you'll need. We experienced some hot summer days while there but not to worry the air conditioner kept the cabin nice and comfortable. Large porch is perfect for morning coffee and bird watching. The property is well off the paved road so its very quiet, feeling of remoteness without actually being so. Excellent road coming into and out of the property. Its not often that we stay somewhere that we don't have to worry about things getting stolen or locking the door when we leave. Your Yeti ice chests are safe here. LOL. Nice crushed granite path down to Llano River. This was the first trip my wife and I went on since she finished months of Chemotherapy and radiation treatments. It was just what we needed ! We are now happy to report that her cancer is in remission!
A slice of heaven on earth! Out of all the VRBOs that we book, Patrickâs place is the one we repeatedly come back to. His pride of ownership is evident with the beautifully maintained cabin & grounds, and the Llano river is sooo relaxing. We had a wonderful time as always and we canât wait to be back again to this home away from home.
Beautifully redone old cabin! We have been to multiple spots on the llano in this area and this was one of the best! Plenty of spots that are deep enough to swim and shallower places to hang out. This is a well kept property that was great for myself, husband and two young kids.
Private river front on the Llano, a true gem in the Texas Hill Country. Wonderful fishing and fly fishing opportunities. If you enjoy the Llano River this is a perfect place for you. Great water, no public access for miles. Please contact for more n information and pictures.
