Weekend gateway

Property was wonderful. It was very well equipped. We cooked every night there and the kitchen had everything we needed. We loved the big fireplace and the outdoor decks. The views were incredible especially at night. The creek exceeded our expectations. We really enjoyed peacefully canoeing up the creek and even caught a small bass. The host communicated with us throughout our stay and made sure we had everything we needed. We are looking to come back and stay a little longer.

Hidden Gem

The pictures on the website don't do this place justice. The cabin was roomy, cozy, and had excellent amenities. Go when it's cool so you can use the fireplace! The porch and deck give you amazing views of the creek and forest. The night sky was amazing. Harriet is by far the best host you will ever encounter. She answered every question and went above and beyond. We hope to return in the spring so we can enjoy the creek.

Paradise in Madrone Canyon

Beautiful property nestled in one of prettiest spots in the hill country, Madrone Canyon. We had drawn a State hunt in Pedernales Falls SP and needed a place to stay while there. Fiddlers Creekside has beautiful views, calm clear water and cool breeze with no other sound than the birds. This was the cherry on top to my hunt at Pedernales Falls SP. Very relaxing and the amenities of home. Did I mention the Host is wonderful? Harriet was always in touch and wonderful to chat with. I cannot wait to return. You will not regret booking this lovely place. I just hope its available when I want to return.

Peaceful getaway

Where do I begin? My husband and I and the dogs Joey and Sammie enjoyed the house and property so much! We loved the creek and the canoe so much we took it out everyday and loved what we call the aquarium. We saw so many fish through the clear water. We played pool every night and threw darts in the game room. The house was so clean and well equipped with everything you need to feel at home. We used the gas grill and made the best steaks and my husband loved the BBQ tools to make the job easy. We sat on the rockers outside and felt like we were in our own private wilderness. The birds entertained us everyday while they fed from the feeders just in front of us. Harriet you have a beautiful home which we enjoyed and needed so much! You are such a great host and made us feel so welcome. We slept like babies in the king size bed and loved that you had all the amenities to shower and get ready for our new adventures for the day. I could go on and on about Fiddlers Creek and will definitely be coming back to that little slice of heaven. One more note wear good hiking shoes and be prepared for a great adventure.

Clean and Peaceful

Harriett was always so quick to reply to my messages. The cabin was tucked away in a gated community and it was very peaceful and very clean. The cabin had everything we needed. I brought extra cooking supplies but didn't even need it. However, we felt like the game room had been a little neglected and could use a little updating. Our two golden doodles loved the creek and the canoe rides. We went mainly to do the wine trail and we were about 45 minutes from all the wineries. We were far enough from the busyness but close enough to enjoy the wineries. Thank you Harriett!

This place is a blessing!

This was our second trip to Fiddlers Creekside, and it was just as amazing as the first, but even better, as our first trip was 7 yrs ago, during a severe drought. The beauty is hard to describe, the place is the cleanest I've ever been to(I literally couldn't find a spec of dust in the house) and all the extras that Harriett provides makes the place feel like home. We had a perfect mixture of thunderstorms, rain showers, and sunshine, so we were able to enjoy hearing rain from the porch, fishing during some beautiful showers, playing pool through thunderstorms, canoeing the creek, sunbathing in the afternoons, and stargazing at night. To say the least it was perfection, and we can't thank our host enough for sharing this incredible place with us and our fur-babies! sunshine to make our stay the phome

Nice Quiet Cabin - Beautiful Creek

We will definitely return! Absolutely perfect close-by getaway for long weekend. The cabin was clean and well provisioned. Owner is kind, very responsive & helpful, while respectful of our privacy. Access to the Creek is a little challenging, but 100% worth the effort. During our stay, the Creek was magnificent. One of the best stretches of crystal clear water that we have ever seen. Very private. Other than 1 afternoon when the friendly neighbors across the Creek were swimming, we didn’t see another soul. Perfect!

Spacious secluded cabin with beautiful views

Everything is absolutely perfect at this cabin overlooking the crystal clear creek in the rugged Texas Hill Country. The hostess makes everything comfortable and nothing is missed: ice and water is provided, plus plenty of spices and basics for food prep. The decor is delightful with interesting antiques, ceramics, and natural woods. Very comfortable king sized bed in bedroom with huge closet containing games and books. Loved looking out the front window during meals and relaxing in the comfortable living room and front porch rockers. The creek was quite delightful for canoeing and watching the small fish through the clear water and other wildlife. The neighborhood has a secured front gate which is a huge plus. There are very few homes in the area and we never saw anyone, so it felt like your own private getaway! If you enjoy going to wineries and breweries, there are many nearby, and Pedernales Falls State Park is beautiful and minutes away. The towns of Johnson City and Dripping Springs are twenty minutes away, and there are plenty of places to eat and grocery shop, etc. Austin's pretty close too if you want to see the city. But we came for the peace and quiet in a natural setting and it fit the bill perfectly.

Pure Bliss!

This was my second stay at Fiddler’s Creek and it did not disappoint. This place is absolutely breathtaking, from the clear water to the privacy. We had a rain storm come through in the middle of our trip. That made the water murky so we decided to take a drive to WImberly for some shopping. Fiddler’s Creek is one of my favorite vacations spots I’ve visited.

A Very Special Place

We absolutely loved our stay at Fiddler’s Creekside! The property has so many amazing views and spots to explore and is full of birds, butterflies and wildflowers. The creek water was wonderfully clear and so fun to canoe around on. The treehouse-like deck and front porch of the cabin are so relaxing to hang out on and sip your coffee or cold beer. We loved this place so much that we decided to skip 3 days of planned excursions and spend the rest of our time at this magical place! The interior of the house has a wonderfully spacious great room with an eclectic mix of art and historical features. And the king size bed was soooo comfortable. Harriet was a such a great host and made sure we had everything we needed and was wonderful to communicate with. We hope to return to this beautiful spot in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Harriet Greenlee

Host profile image
Our family has lived in the hill country since 1984, Midwest transplants and tired of the winters. I am a nature enthusiast, Animal rehabilitator, environmentalist, to name a few. We transformed an overgrazed cattle ranch to a wildlife sanctuary, Fiddlers Green Ranch. We bought Fiddlers Creekside in June 2016 from a close neighbor and transformed it to what it is today. We toast our friend, Clovis Tanner, for the opportunity to carry on his dream of this property, preserving and enhancing its natural beauty.

Why they chose this property

We loved this property and the previous owner, Clovis, for over 20 years. We always told Clovis when he was ready to sell, we'd love first right of refusal. He first approached us in spring of 2015 and as excited as I was, it was not in the budget. In March of 2016 things came together and we were able to take this pristine piece of property and bring it back to its beautiful stature. Now, you have an opportunity to also experience it. Many of the items in the home are truly vintage and belonged to Clovis and will remain there to honor the beautiful spaces he created. Clovis passed about 2 months after we closed on the property. Toast our friend while there, he would have loved the opportunity to meet you! You'll enjoy flipping through a few of his things while there!

What makes this property unique

Countless views from this property will take your breath away! BBQ or lounge on the deck overlooking the creek. Enjoy the stunning garden below the home. Stargaze in one of the best places on earth! This is total privacy and just upstream from Pedernales Falls State Park, 3 miles to the entrance or hike from the property to the park! Vineyards within minutes, or just do NOTHING and float and canoe the creek, or yoga on the decks. Bring your guitar, too. In the cold months enjoy the spectacular fireplace. Read the reviews, I love hearing from others how special this property truly is.
