Just a short distance down to the river where you'll find pier and small beach for picnicking, swimming, or some of the best bass fishing in the country! Relax!

We love our downtown Austin area, but it's great to get "just a bit out of the city" where time slows and nature and luxury surrounds for a truly peaceful getaway! 

 

In "The Hill Country" less than 10 minutes' drive from downtown Austin, Texas, a unique luxury cabin style property awaits you! 'Just 1.5 miles off busy BeeCaves Road. It's hard to believe that this historic rare farmland property still exists so close to urban Austin as it was established by the true pioneers in the 1800's!  It's truly a throwback to those slower paced times and still feels remote and peaceful due to its historic "farmland acreage" affording a truly restful retreat for our guests.

Sip your favorite beverage in a porch swing high on the hill with magnificent views.  Relax to the sound of the pool's waterfall, birds chirping, and the rustle of leaves from the large Spanish oaks that provide shade! Stroll down to the river and picnic or go for a cool swim! The pool can also be heated!

 

You'll get that uniquely private and secluded "total vacation" feel, and be transported back to a time when life was simpler and nature was abundant!

 

Note the intriguing combinations of historic and local modern vernacular architecture that evokes the character of the Texas pioneer, early southern farmhouse, and upscale Arts & Crafts Movement details. Elements of wood, colorful river rocks, native stones, high trussed ceilings, cedar beams and luxury furnishings adorn the dwellings and surround you with comfort.

 

RELAX away from the high traffic highways! You'll arrive by the tree lined and shaded historic River Road that was established 200 years ago!  

 

Indulge with a Deluxe Hot Tub experience under the stars next to a roaring fire!  Ahhhh!  Peace, seclusion and tranquility.  Arrange a gathering of friends or family. This 1.3 acre historic farmland property awaits you with upscale amenities full of comfort and charm!

We LOVED it!  Parents enjoyed the privacy seclusion, and kids loved the River and private pool! Pool, hot tub, porches, fire pit, were all delightful! Great food curbside nearby. Great hiking!

"PURE  LUXURY!  UPGRADES  DEVINE!"

"We booked the Cozy Poolside Suite for our Honeymoon! My hubby surprised me with the Rose Heart Petals on the bed and 3 Doz Roses!  SO beautifully done by the host! I was thrilled! 

Everything was so clean and nice. Deluxe Hot Tub packages were pure luxury! ~ Robes and complimentary slippers made it extra special!

"Deluxe Welcome Basket" was DIVINE! If you want a true luxury getaway with all the frills, this is it! We'll be back for Anniversaries and even just relaxing getaways! It's a really wonderful property! "

Best Vacation EVER! Wonderful Property!

This property is absolutely enchanting!  So private and secluded with trees and views all around!  Plenty of space for our large family of 10 with 3 couples, and 4 small children!  We booked the COMBO!  It was perfect with 3 bedrooms, the very large living room w/ comfy queen sofa and Master Suite with King and a great trundle daybed, plus the Cozy Poolside Suite w/ 2 more bedrooms, a great office area w/ books for the kiddos, and another TV!  Great to have the extra Suite right next to the POOL too!  It made it nice for having a fridge and large bath handy while swimming and hanging out to BBQ!  We LOVED strolling down to the river and my younger ones enjoyed fishing off the pier there  and playing on the little beach while we picnicked and relaxed.  The Fire Pit was great for S'Mores and just enjoying on cool evenings!  Everyone LOVED the Hot Tub with the fireplace next to it, which made it really FUN with swimming too!  Kids loved seeing all the deer, squirrels, and we even got to see some raccoons at night and little foxes!  So cute! Kitchen in Guesthouse is well equipped and fridge is HUGE with ice maker!  Loved the large deck there too!  So much FUN!
