Perfect getaway

It's layout is perfect for a nice getaway weekend or if your planning to spend time exploring the area. The area offers some of the best sunsets. We are from the north east and it's a lot colder so this is a great place to visit in late October and looking forward to making this a annual trip. The house was very clean and nicely decorated with everything you need to feel at home.

Adorable Cabin Near Lake Travis

We enjoyed a quiet weekend in this cabin, which is steps away from Lake Travis. The owners have thought of every detail, both with amenities and the vintage decor. We loved the hammock, swing, comfy (though small) full-zize bed and a well-equipped efficiency kitchen area, which offered a small fridge, microwave, dishes, paper goods, tea kettle and coffee pot. My husband was able to fish from the shoreline some, though the dock is not in the water since the water levels are really low. Overall a nice place to stay!

Cozy cottage on the river

We had a lovely weekend. The owners had everything ready for us and sent us easy directions before we arrived and left us a map of the property inside the cabin too with tips and recommendations. They had kayaks available on the pier and there are some great restaurants within a few miles drive. The lighthouse restaurant was so good we went twice. El Gaucho winery is also nearby and has some great wines. 5/5 stars. We would definitely stay there again.

Serene Hill Country River Cottage

Perfect spot to enjoy an authentic Austin hill country river experience. Super comfortable, creative and cute cottage. One of the best VRBO places I’ve stayed at. Easy drive from Austin. Spotless inside. Everything was ready for me, along with a sweet welcome sign and a few snacks. Nice patio to relax outside too!

Amazing little getaway!

Rick and Kristy go above and beyond to add those personal little touches and amenities you don’t find at every VRBO. They are super kind and pay attention to detail….every detail! The property itself is amazing from the view to the kick back and relax atmosphere. Can’t wait to visit again! Thank you Rick & Kristy!!

Adorable and so relaxing.

This was just what we needed. A great relaxing weekend, listening to the birds, little bit of fishing, reading and a bit of a nap on the hammock. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

A great local getaway for some peace and quiet!

I booked this VRBO for my wife, who really needed some quiet time. She absolutely loved it! She was able to disconnect and just relax and enjoy the environment for a couple of days. She loved seeing the deer and hearing the owls at night. She thought the place was very cute and cozy as well as being clean, warm and welcoming. We will definitely book some more time here in the future!

Sweet Cottage by the Lake

We had a wonderful stay. Quiet, private access to lake, watched the sunset lounging on the dock, and walked the grounds in the mornings. The Birdhouse was bigger than expected. Very roomy, lots of natual light, many details in the room. We will return again.

Beautiful and great location.

I came in town for a wedding. This place was adorable and so conveniently close to everything. Great wineries, coffee shops and restaurants close by. The cottage is right on the lake with kayaks available to use. It’s a great little getaway. The cottage itself was clean and had an adorable little welcome sign. Even though there is not a kitchen there is everything you can possible want and need in the cottage. Very comfortable and I would stay there again!
