About this property

Peaceful rustic cabin in the country overlooking the Pedernales River + Hot Tub.

This is a peaceful little cabin/house perched above the winding Pedernales River arm of Lake Travis out in the Texas Hill Country. This summer of 2025 watch snowy egrets in the shoreline and graceful vultures soaring past the deck at eye level. Enjoy expansive sunrise views with morning birdsong and the evening glow of a rising moon in this serene setting. The river is full although not accessible due to recent floods. Enjoy a front row seat to all its wild beauty.

We are across the river from the Blissful Hill wedding venue and down the street from the Cypress Valley Event Center.

There is complete privacy on one side of the home where our two year old hot tub (serviced weekly) is located. Our home has two bedrooms. One bedroom has a king bed and the other has two doubles. There is one full bath and a second half bath. . There is a flat screen TV in the living and each of the bedrooms.

If you start craving action, we are centrally located between Austin and Marble Falls and only 15 minutes to the Lakeway Hill Country Galleria's restaurants, shops and theaters. Or maybe just open a bottle of wine and hang out on the deck on the porch swing. Or take off down to Krause Spring's famous spring-fed swimming hole and butterfly garden a couple minutes a way. Or try some new wines from Stone House Winery, also just a few minutes away. And of course Opies Barbeque and Poodie's Roadhouse, and Angels are famous in Spicewood.

If you have friends or family or an event in this area or just want to getaway from it all, you can't go wrong making this your home base. Send me an email or book online to make a reservation and let me know the nature of your stay and I'll get back with you ASAP.

If I'm being completely honest, the pictures make it look better than it is. The railing on the deck by the hot tub needs some serious work and the house is dated and in need of some home repairs and updates. The lighting flickers periodically and there were tons of flying insects that came in throughout the day and night and we had to sweep and clean counters off every time we wanted to cook something. We did NOT have any doors or windows open so we were unsure where they were coming in at. The location is good but I wish the grounds below were a little better maintained so you could walk down by the river. The check-in process was a breeze and the view is very nice. The sunrise was amazing! Over all, we had a very nice time.
These flying insects were everywhere and we had to continually sweep and wipe counters off. They were in the tub and toilets as well.

Peaceful Escape

This stay was everything we hoped for and more. The home was incredibly peaceful, clean, and cozy, the perfect place to unwind. The view was absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunrise and sunset. Every detail was thoughtfully prepared, making us feel right at home. We loved how quiet and serene the surroundings were, and it gave us a real chance to disconnect and relax. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a refreshing escape in nature. We played table tennis and enjoyed a lot. Thanks to our lovely host.

Perfectly Relaxing

This was a lovely home along the Pedernales River near many wineries, but not on one. The back porch was the perfect spot to watch the river and many bird species. The home was perfectly appointed with multiple sitting areas outside, a porch swing, a hot tub, fire pit, grill, comfy couches, and any kitchen implement one might need. We used it as a base for hiking the numerous state parks in the area. It could not have been better.

So Peaceful, with Amazing Views

We really loved our stay. Waking up in the morning and enjoying our coffee on the deck overlooking the river was perfect. Our host was thoughtful and communicative. The home has everything you need for a short or long stay. The hot tub and fireplace were like icing on the cake!

Nice cabin

The cabin has great views even though sadly the river is almost dry. The a/c works well and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked except for spices that are old. I would recommend for an enjoyable vacation retreat.

West Tx. Ladies enjoy Hill Country Retreat!

Two grandmothers, a daughter and granddaughter spent a quiet, peaceful, and restful Thanksgiving at this property. Ages 81, 76, 56, and 24. The deck was wonderful for relaxing with refreshments and watching the Eagles fly by. The property was exactly as describe and came furnished with all we needed. Watched movies on big screen TV and played board games on large dining table. Looking forward to a return trip for another restful few days.

Our Stay

Property in a peaceful area ,with nice back porch, and would have been a 4 starvrental, but many lighting issues, burnt out bulbs, and confusing placement of switches. All had dimmer sliders, but only worked if at brightest setting because all lights were LED.Took forever fumbling in dark when we got there to figure out how to turn on. Faucets in shower very wonky. King box spring way too soft on one side, causing bed to sink on that side when sat on, and uncomfortable sleeping on that side. King bed platform too long at foot of bed, and my wife got a nasty bruise on her shin hitting it in the dark. brightest mosetting

About the host

Hosted by Vicki or Gerald Lamar

Host profile image
We live in Austin and like to escape to the Hill Country for a quick getaway for some peace and relaxation.

Why they chose this property

We like the peaceful, country laid-back feel out here, the many moods of the weather (usually very breezy) sitting on the deck overlooking the River below and the decidedly Not City life out here. One of the best springfed swimming holes, Krause Springs is just minutes away or enjoy an afternoon picnic at The Stone House Winery just down the country road. Opie's BarBQ is an easy drive towards Spicewood.

What makes this property unique

This is a good home base between Lakeway and Marble Falls or a day trip to Fredericksburg or Johnson City or to Austin to visit 6th Street The Live Music Capital of the World or the University of Texas Campus or the LadyBird Wildflower Center.
