About this property

La Casa Roja on the Llano River

La Casa Roja was designed and built by the owner in 2003 as her idyllic Hill Country escape. This beautiful 10 acre site on the Llano River is the perfect retreat, where heavenly mornings are spent on the 500 sq. ft screened porch sipping coffee, watching birds, and taking in the view. The property has direct river access with deep swimming holes and great fishing, plus two fire pits, breathtaking sunsets, and nothing but wide TX skies (shooting stars included!)

A great place for a romantic getaway, weekend with friends, or family time. La Casa Roja is just a great place to relax and let the world slide by!

The kitchen was updated in 2025 with all new state of the art appliances, and fully stocked with all cookware and plateware to enjoy gourmet meals at home. You can even cook outside on the charcoal grill and enjoy the most dramatic sunsets in Texas and the Llano River!

The living area has plenty of comfortable seating to enjoy a good book, music on the Bose speaker, and a 42" flat screen TV/DVD, DirecTV satellite. On chilly nights, enjoy the wood burning fireplace (with gas starter!) There are two dining areas, one indoor and one outdoor (in the screened in porch), which can each comfortably seat 6 guests.

The ranch-style house has three bedrooms--two king-sized beds and two twin beds--and two full bathrooms. The king (master) bedroom enjoys direct access to the screened in porch, and has enough space to accommodate a pack and play (not included).

There is a laundry room/pantry with a stack washer/dryer, microwave, and all necessary cleaning supplies.

But the beauty of this place is in the great outdoors! There are a number of great places to post up and hang out across the property, from a two-person swing down by the river to picturesque benches overlooking the view, two firepits, and a cozy couch area (separate from the dining table) in the screened in porch.

Downtown Llano is 11 miles away, Fredericksburg is 30 minutes away, Enchanted Rock is 20 minutes away, Castell is 8 miles west on RR 152, but you may never want to leave this cozy, private retreat.

We had a wonderful stay here. Although the river was too high for swimming and fishing during our visit, we still had an amazing time exploring and enjoying the beautiful wildflowers. The property is well-maintained, comfortable, and stocked with everything you could need.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property on the Llano River. The setting is relaxing and we especially enjoyed watching the abundance of birds and rabbits on the property. The host was friendly, responsive, and readily available when we had needs. Because the property is in the country, expect to encounter insects and sandburs(stickers), but that is simply part of the natural environment and did not take away from our enjoyment. We plan to return in the future!

We LOVED the house and everything about it. The setting is magnificent and peaceful. The house itself was immacuate and contained everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. We especially enjoyed the screened-in front porch, which provided for many hours of visiting and reminicing. We loved the house so much, in fact, that we've already booked another stay next Spring (and perhaps several more after that!)

This place is everything you need to get away from the busy life. Came with my in-laws had 3 kids with us. They loved the walks to the river, picking flowers and watching all the wildlife. This place is the whole package. Even had kitchen items we forgot to bring. We will definitely be recommending and hopfully be back soon. The river was a perfect spot to sit on a rock or swim. Great place.

We met up with our adult children at La Casa Roja in Llano. We had a fantastic stay. Karen answered any questions quickly and even helping us to find a nearby place to play pickleball (Pickle Haus in Fredericksburg). The home was clean and inviting. The kitchen was very well stocked, plenty of pots and pans, which made cooking easy. The property itself is beautiful. While drinking our morning coffee we all enjoyed watching the birds and the butterflies in the trees and bushes off the porch. We could also see the river from the porch. The view at the river was gorgeous. Sitting on the swing by the river, in the shade of the trees, was our favorite. We all agreed we hope to return soon. We also rented two Kayak's while we were there from the Castell Land Company. It is just couple of miles down the road; pick them up and bring them back to the place. They have both 8' and larger boats. Great fun.

The house is clean and nice. We had what we needed. The property is beautiful. The river was very private while we were there. Quiet and peaceful. I only had two concerns: (1) the directions on the app were wrong. They took us to a different place. It was dark & there was no cell service so we couldn’t pull up the app. Fortunately, I had taken a screenshot that included the address so we were able to creep along on the county road in the dark looking for house numbers until we eventually found it. Better directions are needed. (2) It was expensive to start with but then miscellaneous administrative & other fees were added that made it very expensive for a 2-night stay, including a dog fee and a cleaning fee. We were instructed to strip all the beds, clean the kitchen, and gather up all the trash and haul it out to the county road. I don’t mind doing those things, but we also were charged a 125 cleaning fee. Maybe it’s just me but it seems like it should be one or the other. Cleaning and paying the cleaning fee seemed excessive, especially given the price of the rental. Overall, though, it was a lovely place.

Excellent stay. Last minute decision to spend Christmas near hill country. The home was clean, well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Plenty of space for a family of 5 plus an 80lb german shepherd. Easy river access, wooden swing for reading, used the grill and ate in the screened in sunporch. Nice and secluded. Property has a gate, that needs an access code to get in, nice added security. Would definitely come back here.

Favorite hill country getawat

We love this property and have stayed several times. It’s our favorite quick getaway from Austin. Very peaceful and restful. (Do be cautious with very young ones - lots of spiny or stinging flora or fauna in the country - littles cannot be outside unsupervised.)
