We had a wonderful time staying here! The host was very nice with keeping us updated about the weather (very rainy), but being up high we stayed rather dry. The house is at great location with a short stroll to the creek, we enjoyed seeing the plant life and the sitting on the porch watching the birds in the morning. Would highly recommended staying here for a nice quiet stay away from the world.

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. We enjoyed the creek and canoeing so much!! There is not a fenced area for your pets, so they need to stay on their leashes or be trained to come when called. This is a beautiful property, very private and relaxing. Great bird watching, and we saw deer everyday. Would definitely return! Harriett was a lovely host as well.

Everything was amazing. Here are the highlights:-Incredible views-Beautiful birds (my wife cried when she saw a Painted Bunting )-Delicious coffee that was included with beans and a grinder (I need to know what kind of coffee beans those were)-Canoeing the river was serene in the morning. It was so quiet and peaceful-Pedernales State Park is SO CLOSE and the swimming area was definitely a highlight-It feels INCREDIBLY private and secluded-The location is great as far as having access to a bunch of different areas...15 minutes to Dripping Springs30 minutes to Johnson City40 minutes to Wimberley45 minutes to Fredericksburg45 minutes to AustinOther VRBOers with experience staying in a lot of rentals might understand what I mean by this, but this house actually felt like we were staying in a REAL home; not a curated space with cheap furniture and Hobby Lobby decor. The pictures do not do it justice, and I recommend this place a million times over. Thank you, Harriet!

Although the cabin was relatively clean there were areas ie freezer, utensils drawers that were very dirty.The pictures shown on Virbo were old and not descriptive of actual conditions present. The outside deck was questionable. Areas felt unsafe and furniture eg swing, broken.If you like birdwatching it was good for that and seeds were provided to refill feedersThere is no water there so walking the riverbed is the only activity. Be careful going down from the cabin the path is very steep and rocky.We feel for the price of 3 nights it just wasn’t worth it. Overall, the cabin needs thorough cleaning ,maintenance and repairs.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. Cleanliness is very important to us, and we take all comments seriously. We will review the areas you mentioned with our housekeeping team to ensure our high standards are maintained. As noted in our listing and pre-arrival communications, the creek is seasonal and was dry during your visit. Many guests still enjoy exploring the creek bed, birdwatching, stargazing, and simply relaxing in the peaceful natural setting. We appreciate your kind words about the bird feeders and wildlife viewing. Our cabin is intentionally rustic and located on a natural hillside property, which is why we provide detailed descriptions and photos of the terrain so guests can determine whether it is a good fit for their comfort and mobility needs. We regularly inspect the cabin and outdoor spaces, and we will review the items you mentioned to ensure everything is safe and in good condition. We are proud to have welcomed hundreds of guests over the years and to have earned more than 400 five-star reviews. While we understand that our unique eco-retreat is not the right fit for everyone, we appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best in your future travels.

Harriot Checked on us a couple.times to see how we were. This is the 4th time weve stayed at the Cabin and if you like remote peacful locations this is it. We will be back hopefully in the summer.

About the host

Hosted by Harriet Greenlee

Host profile image
Our family has lived in the hill country since 1984, Midwest transplants and tired of the winters. I am a nature enthusiast, Animal rehabilitator, environmentalist, to name a few. We transformed an overgrazed cattle ranch to a wildlife sanctuary, Fiddlers Green Ranch. We bought Fiddlers Creekside in June 2016 from a close neighbor and transformed it to what it is today. We toast our friend, Clovis Tanner, for the opportunity to carry on his dream of this property, preserving and enhancing its natural beauty.

Why they chose this property

We loved this property and the previous owner, Clovis, for over 20 years. We always told Clovis when he was ready to sell, we'd love first right of refusal. He first approached us in spring of 2015 and as excited as I was, it was not in the budget. In March of 2016 things came together and we were able to take this pristine piece of property and bring it back to its beautiful stature. Now, you have an opportunity to also experience it. Many of the items in the home are truly vintage and belonged to Clovis and will remain there to honor the beautiful spaces he created. Clovis passed about 2 months after we closed on the property. Toast our friend while there, he would have loved the opportunity to meet you! You'll enjoy flipping through a few of his things while there!

What makes this property unique

Countless views from this property will take your breath away! BBQ or lounge on the deck overlooking the creek. Enjoy the stunning garden below the home. Stargaze in one of the best places on earth! This is total privacy and just upstream from Pedernales Falls State Park, 3 miles to the entrance or hike from the property to the park! Vineyards within minutes, or just do NOTHING and float and canoe the creek, or yoga on the decks. Bring your guitar, too. In the cold months enjoy the spectacular fireplace. Read the reviews, I love hearing from others how special this property truly is.
