We LOVED staying at this home!

We had an incredible stay at this home, it had everything we could have wanted and the interactions with Denise and Scott were lovely as well as really helpful as we looked for places t visit during our stay. We loved the setting, hot tub, fire pit, well-equipped kitchen. The owners have given close attention to maintenance and enduring that each room was beautiful and comfortable.

Very clean and relaxing

The wife and I were just looking to get away somewhere to relax. We had a very relaxing time! Spicewood is very quiet. The house was very clean. They have everything you need! Nice front porch and hot tub. Thanks Denise for a great stay!

Denise and Scott couldn't have been nicer. Truly a couple who cares for others and wants to share their beautiful "little bit of heaven". The house was impeccable, very tastefully decorated and if I had the money I would have offered to buy it. Felt like home from the moment we walked in the door. The fenced, large yard was certainly a plus for our dog and I enjoyed sitting out there with a view of Pedernales River (it's full!). Plus Denise thought of everything you could want...even insect spray and fly swatters on the porch. We stayed there as our home was under construction and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants peace and quiet in a beautiful home and surroundings.

Wonderful Lake Getaway

Due to COVID, our family decided to find a place nearby for our teenage boys to have access to some fun water activities. Denise and Scott were wonderful hosts and offered lots of amenities to make our stay even more enjoyable. The boys loved the dock - swimming, fishing, and kayaking kept them busy. The location is very convenient for nice day trips as well - Enchanted Rock, several nearby marinas for boat and jetski rentals. Thank you for opening your home for a great week of family fun!

Perfect Getaway for Peace and Mental Reset

Beautiful home with a perfect mix of decor and ambiance that I could only aspire to replicate in my own home. Typically with a pet friendly property it’s a wildcard in terms of the upkeep and updates to the home, that is most definitely not the case with this residence…clean, sheek, Austin cool, but warm and inviting. The property owner offers the perfect combination of privacy and respect balanced with hospitality to ensure your stay is great. My dogs and I enjoyed short (about 200 yard) daily walks down the path to the river and open field where they could run and play. In addition, really appreciated the fenced in area next to the property where you can close the gates for them to “do their business” without worrying about them running off. Was pleasantly surprised at the number of deer to watch moving about the property and neighborhood. A very calming place to get out of the city and enjoy nature in Hill Country, and a short drive to a hidden Texas gem, Krause Springs, as well as any number of State Park/Recreation Areas.

Fun easy getaway!

I meant to review sooner!! We had a great stay at kickback cove. The property was easy to find and check in was quick too. From reading reviews I knew the property wasn’t waterfront. The trek down to the river is steep and a bit of a ways down but that didn’t bother us. We got great use of the lily pads and docks! It is not private use and we ended up meeting a fun couple that was staying on the property as well. The kids had a blast jumping from the dock to the lily pad. The cabin had everything we needed and plenty of space for the 4 of us and our 3 small dogs. The fenced area is nice however we did feel our dogs would escape if not kept on leashes. The yard overlooks the safari tent the hosts also rents. The hot tub was clean and in a good area. We had our music up a little loud one night not realizing the sound traveled to the tent others were in and the owner very nicely asked us to turn it down and complimented our music choice! lol! But I can see where the two rentals are close enough they could hear us! Overall a very fun vacay, stocked house with lots of room and a great porch to hang out on! We would definitely go back!

Great group spot

The spot was great for a group. There was tons of ample entertainment space and hangout areas. The one star that I held back was because the property manager, Denise and I, a few communication issues. We never met in person, which I think would’ve helped. I tried to keep things thorough with her in the loop through messaging. It started with pet fee issues (which I truly think was an honest mistake), then a complaint about cars in the driveway (that was soon realized to also be owner mistake - not our cars) and then follow up questions about some packages the owner hadn’t been delivered a few days after our stay. However, the owner also recommended bars and areas around and was very communicative on that, if you enjoy a tour guide of sorts, I’m sure Denise would be that. The property itself was great (the hot tub in the fall was wonderful) and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay or celebrate especially as a group. I’m a very private and quiet person that was having medical issues at the time of this stay so I prefer properties that require a low amount of consistent communication for the sake of rest. Especially when I’m on vacation. Otherwise the cabin was a great experience and I don’t think the issues I had would really be “issues” for most people. It was obvious to me that Denise wanted us to have a good time. The area was also very fun to visit, but plan your ride share/uber/DD ahead of time!

Response from VrboOwner on 20 January 2022
Lindsey, thank you for your review. I do value communication and tend to error on the side of being more direct initially in communication. As you can see from the multiple reviews snd my super host status, most guests like that and find my style to be warm and welcoming. Having said that, I can see how many guests might prefer as little communication as possible and will try to gauge that better in the future. Our property arrangement in December caused alot of our Christmas packages getting left on the wrong patio but other mths. are never a problem. Your group of six girls were very responsible and nice to hosts . Glad you enjoyed your birthday experience overall.

We had a wonderful time at this property when we stayed November 2020. The host was fantastic and we had several nice chats with her. I will say the property was a little outdated, but great location!

Clean, comfy home with hot tub

Easy check in, quiet location, comfortable bedrooms, and nice hot tub on the patio. The covered porch was decorated for Christmas, and the kitchen had everything. Large TV and nice couches in the living room.

A bit misleading

The house was very comfortable and Denise is very communicative and helpful. The only disappointment, and it was pretty major for us, was that there is no waterview from the house. The waterview pictures are from THEIR property. To get to the water from this house is a bit of a hike. The fire pit in the pictures is also THEIR fire pit. There is a nice fire pit at the house, but it’s by the hot tub not the river. So, no watching the sunset while sipping wine around the fire pit, like you might think based on the pictures. However, if you’re looking for a comfortable house with a hot tub close to, but not ON, the water, you’ll like it!
Response from VrboOwner on 10 December 2020
Paula. I am sorry you thought the house was on the water and were surprised. The property description and lower pricing, as well as photos, are very accurate and do not show this rental house to be on on the water from any angle. The description also says you can walk or ride down a path to the water. The picture of the fire pit also has two photos to show placement of our fire pit in proximity to our house. Also, most people love and appreciate the separation between our house and the rental...no view of each other. The rental property has an outside fire pit as well in front of the hot tub for guest convenience. We are the ONLY property on this side of the Pedernales that isn't on a steep cliff and within 5 min walking distance to the water for the price. Direct waterfront homes in Austin and the Pedernales run 400.00+. I do thank you for your feedback though and will add some wording to our description.

Secluded home near the river

My brothers, dad, nephew and I stayed at Kickback Cove for 3 nights. We had a great time! The house is very clean and nicely decorated...it has a good vibe, very open and roomy. The days we were there it was HOT, about 105°+ but down on the river at the covered dock it was probably 10-15 degrees cooler or at least felt like it. We swam and relaxed down there. One thing though, is that the water is pretty far from the house and will be kind of challenging for those with mobility or respiratory issues. My 82 year old dad was not able to go down to the water, so that was kind of disappointing. He was still happy just chillin at the house, though. We didn’t really use the hot tub because it was so damn hot but it’s really nice and would be great in cooler weather. Overall, I would definitely recommend staying here. Denise and Scott are super nice and great to work with. They made sure everything was as it should be.
