10 Year anniversary

Beautiful, cottage is what pictures betray, the lakefront view from cottage was incredible, wild life was apparent wish there was deer feed. Cookware spices abundant, but if you like cooking with non stick, bring your own. :), Bed was very comfortable, love the nice touch to restroom floor (add on). We are looking forward to return later in the fall to hopefully enjoy dock and or beach area. (only setback- a couple weeks of the terrible floods in the Texas Hill Co. the fishing dock and boat ramp- not sure if flood took that away. there was no beach access. the drive in the road leading to cottage was flooded, did not want to take a chance to go through that.) There was a empty cabin in the middle of the lake would love to know the story behind that. Not sure if that was part of flooding. A lot of debris around surrounding lake but not at Seahorse Cove. Not sure if the property next to it is a rental.

Quick weekend get away

We loved everything about the cabin and property! It was fully furnished with all we needed. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of space in the cabin and outside the cabin. The best part was the waterfront lake access! Amazing sunsets and wild life views! Also very quiet and secluded. Perfect couples or families! We will be back again!

Nice getaway.

The Seahorse Cove cabin was all I anticipated and more. I booked this home for a weekend trip while visiting the cavern at Longhorn Cavern State Park. I also rented Kayaks from Vanishing Sunset Cruises. I had a great experience with both companies.

Secluded

Nice quiet location. House was hot when we arrived and we had issues getting the lock to open. We didn't feel you are given enough time to really enjoy. Check in was 4:00 and out by 10:00 am. Not enough time to enjoy coffee outside. Too expensive to stay 2 nights.

Great location for a getaway!!

This home/cabin is understated. The view and amenities are very nice. The property and water view really add to the appreciation of this home. Our only regret is it staying longer.

This place was awsome!

We had the most relaxing and wonderful getaway. The rustic charm was just what we needed. we saw a beautiful sunset, a deer and a fox. It was quiet and peaceful. It did have cobwebs behind curtains and doors and in the windows but, even that just endeared us more to the rustic charm. Can’t wait to go again! I highly recommend it!

Very Quiet and Relaxing

If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is the perfect spot. The best part was the piece of property itself. Felt very secluded with beautiful views of the lake.

This is a nice quiet, comfortable place to stay for two or a a small family. The living room has a nice view but the lake is severely low. Need rain!

45th anniversary weekend

We enjoyed the place. Views were great!!! Outdoor area was wonderful. We saw white pelicans, all kinds of ducks, robins, cormorants, and a lot of deer. We needed better directions to find the gate in the almost dark.

Great Lake cabin!

The cabin was exactly as advertised. Nice sitting room. We had trouble with the entry code to the door and called guest services. We received help immediately. We would definitely rent again.

Husband’s birthday weekend

We found this hidden gem for my husband’s birthday weekend. It was perfection at its finest. He is a photographer and was able to capture some amazing pictures. Great antique shopping nearby as well as a wonderful Lake Buchanan cruise which enabled us to see some bald eagles in the area.

Restored bunkhouse

Very nice. Clean. Easy to find. Beautiful addition and character. Wi-Fi was a bit troublesome but worked. We loved the old original floors and the squeak in the master bedroom. Kitchen was very nice and decorated well. First hot shower had sulfur smell which is not uncommon with electric water heaters and well water that sit sometimes. Subsequent showers it was much better. Would stay there again regardless. Bluebonnets were coming up. Views over the water were amazing. Close to town if needed.

Secluded and quiet

We had a lovely time at the cabin. The kitchen has all the tools you need, including spices and cooking oils. Also, the coffee maker is a full size pot with a basket filter. Outdoor grill worked awesome and was very clean. We spent every morning and evening at beach and recommend some sort of shade for full enjoyment. My only recommendation to the property owners/managers is to have the windows cleaned. It’s too pretty a property to not see it all clearly. I do wish given the very large size of the bedroom that there was a bigger bed with a spring free mattress, but the bed there is fine. Overall, we would stay here again.

Beautiful home!

Our stay was wonderful! I was iffy at first bc of all the negative reviews on vrbo which is where I found this home but I would definitely stay again! The view was nice. The area to fish was even better. It was super hot so we caught most of our fish after 7. It did not have a smell atleast not when. We were there. It had everything we needed. We had a good night of grilling and fishing later that night. It’s quiet time after 10 but we obviously were up and not loud. Fished till dark. Lots of catfish that’s forsure. Give this home a chance you will not be disappointed!

Misleading

Lake Buchanan is very low and this was not mentioned in the description. The walk to the receded water was not convenient and couldn’t be enjoyed as listing described or the photos show. Also, the restrictions on numbers of people on the property are too strict. I rented this property for my parents to stay in as we were up the road at Inks Lake State Park. After questioning the property manager twice, I finally got a response that we could not all visit my parents at this rental because we would exceed the 4 person accommodation restriction. I would have booked another place if I had known this. This property is way over priced considering the lake is down and if you stay here, you can’t have visitors.

Wonderful getaway

This property is absolutely beautiful. It’s a great peaceful escape from the city while also being close enough to a lot of great things to do in Hill Country. I stayed here by myself as a way to get away. However, I underestimated the “nature” aspect. There were animal footprints throughout the property and late night sounds that had me a little spooked. Also, it was challenging to keep the bugs out. However, I did enjoy my time overall and am grateful for the way they have kept up the property. There was NO issue with the water, as other reviews have mentioned. I would suggest a new set up for the TV cable box as it started to overheat with a warning on the tv that it would shut down after about an hour. I propped it up to get some air underneath which helped. I would recommend a stay here to anyone looking for a nice quaint retreat in the woods with lots of open space to enjoy nature.

So much potential

In many ways Seahorse Cove cabin is lovely. The furnishings are well-considered, the bed very comfortable, and the setting restful and peaceful. There are important improvements that would make this the perfect stay, and the good news is they are all doable. The first is the instructions given for arrival, which said “gate code” and gave other physical descriptions of the entrance. What was confusing was that the gate that matched the description didn’t have a keypad (because “gate code”). As it turned out the code was for a padlock. If that had been included in the instructions, it would have saved us frustration (and driving up and down the country road making sure we didn’t have the address wrong). The other major problem was the strong sulfur smell. Other reviews mentioned it and the owner/management response was that a filter had been installed. While there was a Brita pitcher in the fridge, the smell comes from the hot water. So, every time we washed dishes (dishes had to be hand washed – no big deal except for the smell), washed hands, showered, the whole cabin smelled. I would think a filter on the hot water line could go a long way to solving this problem. There are other little things that would make for a better experience (a listing of local TV stations, clearing out more than one small drawer for guests’ clothes, an ash bucket for the fireplace), but the real problem was that the confusion over arrival and the smell really set the tone for the stay. This listing has a LOT of potential and I hope the owner/management will consider these improvements.
