Weekend getaway

Overall enjoyed our stay. Beautiful property. Would’ve liked it to be easier access to water, The large rocks made it challenging for older less agile person. Nice cabins. Everything great except the barndominium had an odd smell at times. Might’ve been from garage not sure. Otherwise very clean and nice. Wish we would’ve had more time. It was relaxing.

Welcoming in Fall on the Llano!

This property is one of the most beautiful spots on the Llano river. We brought our kayaks but the river was up so were unable to float this weekend but there were plenty of sights to keep up busy. Watching the deer, turkey and livestock, hiking, and rock hunting filled the day. Thank you to our hosts that always make sure the cabin is ready for guests. Will certainly return one day and I know it won't be soon enough for me.

Llano Adventure

Not our first time here. The place is still great and kept up well. Enjoyed the river mostly. Wife and I relaxed while the kids fished. They caught a largemouth bass, several guadalupe bass, several rio grande cichlids, and a longear. Everyone was happy!

Had a great, relaxing time

This place was awesome. Just as described! Plenty of space for 5 people and 2 big dogs. Gorgeous views, easy river access. Stars were amazing at night. Had a nice bird feeder and bird bath so we saw lots of birds, including a thirsty roadrunner. Would love to stay here again! Only wish was for a hummingbird feeder, next time will bring one! Great place to set up the telescope and star watch.

A peaceful and relaxing property. We always enjoy staying at this jewel on the Llano.

Slightly rustic, but all the necessities are there. We enjoy being a part of the rugged beauty of Kimble County.

Amazing Family Retreat!

This place is amazing! The views are great, the river frontage is spectacular, and the night skies are fantastic! I loved the opportunity to disconnect as there is no internet and it gave us a great opportunity to get some real family time without devices. There are lots of trails to explore, and deer greeted us every morning. The host was great and very responsive when anything came up (THANK YOU!) I am not sure who enjoyed this stay more...me, my wife, my boys, my in-laws, or my dog (she couldn't get to the river fast enough) LOL! We are definitely planning to return. This place is well deserving of 5 stars overall. The only improvement I could suggest is to dust the fans but being this remote...I would expect to have some dust here and there. All and all...this has been our best retreat to the Hill Country area so far!

beautiful place

As expected, it was a little far from things which interest the kids. However, the view was great, as was the overall experience. The cabin was clean and all necessary items were provided. We had regular vists from 3 foxes and one dark grey cat. Drove around some in late evening to see the deer although we saw a few down at the feeder in front of house. The road almost directly across from the driveway, which goes to Mason, had the most spectacular animals (Whietail deer and Axis deer) behind high fences.

Great Memories Made on the river

This is one of the best properties I have stayed at in this whole area. Great river access. Great view from the cabin. Abundant wildlife, beautiful area. We were able to go to several different areas for short 1-4 hours of kayak runs on the river. Was just a great long weekend for group of adventurous friends. Loved it.
