Retreat, Hill Country Wine Trail & Fire Pit! The Blue Bonnets are Popping! The blooming season has started! The Peak bluebonnet season is now through the end of April.

Nestled in a stunning nature 🌿 setting, this unique haven boasts captivating rock formations and a Crystal-Clear Spicewood Creek right by the house. 🏞️ It feels like a destination of its own—a truly magical experience with it's beauty, purity, calmness, and serenity. 🪻🕊️

The fabulous 4 bedroom house on private creek, Quiet and Relaxing in springtime with bluebonnets and wildflowers 🪷. Great family room with large fireplace, wrap-around porch with many seating areas, outdoor 🪵 fire pit, large kitchen with gas stove top; outdoor gas grill available.

An inspiring retreat beckons artists to immerse themselves in creativity and contemplation! Dive deep into your artistic journey amidst the serene beauty of our getaway.

It's a 3,000 square foot custom home on 2.0 acres on a bluff overlooking a beautiful cypress tree lined clear creek. This creek is spring fed and refreshingly cold! 🏞️ Guest use the creek fed swimming hole to swim. It is refreshingly cold just in front of house. Sit on the wrap-around porch and listen to the waterfall that borders our property. Find your peace, relax and get away from it all with your family and friends.

It is secluded from the city for peace and quiet, yet this beautiful home is still close to shopping, vineyards, water sports, golf and great local restaurants. The Spicewood Creek House is all about relaxing, whether it is on the deep wrap around porch or in the hammock, or swimming* in the sparkling water below in the deep creek fed pool, there is something for everyone. (*please note: seasonally the water in the creek can be lower if it is a drier time of year. We cannot predict this.)***The swimming hole is for our community/neighborhood!***

Here you can gaze at the numerous constellations. There are horseshoes to play, badminton and volleyball, as well as darts and ping pong and skittles, a fast paced game of pins and tops. Our guests are welcome to fish(catch and release only) in the deep pool in front of house only, not in the creek on either the right or left side of the deep pool. There is a rock patio above that has a table set for those who wish to picnic outdoors and a hammock hanging from a tree that calls for a good book to read.

This newly furnished Texas House with handsome wide planked hardwood flooring is equipped to handle up to 8 people with four bedrooms and three full baths. All of the mattresses are brand-new pillowtops. Two of the spacious bedrooms are upstairs with a full bath. There is a queen in one bedroom with a huge chest of drawers and a rocker. The other room has two twins and a daybed to sleep three. There is also a loft area with a sofa and flat screen Smart TV. Downstairs are two more queen bedrooms that each have their own bath. The master also has a separate Jetted Tub with Double Sinks and a Shower. There is a flat screen TV in the large master bedroom as well as a recliner and a large chest of drawers.

The great room has soaring two-story ceilings with beams and a fireplace, ample reclining consoles and sofas. A large flat screen Smart TV is next to the fireplace, with lots of games and puzzles for a rainy day! There are two tables in the dining area that will seat up to ten people. The kitchen is updated with all stainless appliances and granite countertops. It also has a breakfast bar, a pantry room and beyond that, the utility room with new washer/dryer for your use. We have supplied the kitchen generously with dishes, cookery, small high-end new appliances for your needs.

On the porches are rockers on the front of the house and teak sofas and a table that seats six with fabulous views of the bluff below. There are adirondack chairs close to the bluff with amazing views of the water, as well. You can also make arrangements for porchside massage therapy with mobile therapists from the Austin area. There are so many places and ways to relax. Your hardest decision will be where and what!

Things to do in the area:

Located in the Texas Hill Country which is the home of favorite and country music legend Willie Nelson. Spicewood has a charm all its own. Fantastic barbecue, rolling hills, fabulous vineyards, and incredible views make this day trip really memorable. You’ll feel miles away from the city while still satisfying that need for novelty.

Milton Reimers Ranch Park is close by and has Mountain Climbing, Hiking and Mountain Biking Trails. Swim in the Pedernales River! The hike from the parking lot to the river is approximately 0.25 miles down a steep grade.
You can also explore the Texas Skies at the Reimers Observatory is an astronomical observatory located inside Reimers Ranch Park. Reservations for observatory programs are required to be in the park after dark. The road to the Beach. Keep in mind that you will need to be prepared to pay your entry fee by cash, no credit cards are accepted.

Muleshoe Bend Recreation Area -Enjoy Rolling fields of bluebonnets pop up in the spring an awesome sight to behold. During the 'non-wildflower season', come here to hike the trails, enjoy the green fields, and dip your toes in the water.

Krause Springs is definitely a top five natural water destination in the area. There are jump off points, a rope swing, waterfalls, and a hidden grotto spread among the 32 springs and the man made natural pool. Plan to spend the day here hiking around or sunbathing on the giant rocks.

Cypress Valley Canopy Tour, five ziplines that take you through a wild ride from platform to platform. After your tour, you can take a dip in their small private lake and have a picnic.

Don’t forget go to Spicewood without stopping into Poodie’s Hilltop Bar & Grill. This legendary venue is the watering hole for all kinds of famous Texans, likely because the original owner, Poodie Locke, was Willie Nelson’s stage manager.

Willie Nelson’s Pedernales Cut-N-Putt is exactly the opposite of that country club scene. It’s golf, the Willie Way and that means fun.

Iron Wolf Ranch and Distillery is a family-owned and family friendly with games and a playground for kiddos spread out on 15 acres of land, with entertainment every Saturday.

Spicewood Vineyards. Family-owned, the vineyards are gorgeous and their tasting space feels like you’re hanging out in a friend’s home. On the 'Friday Night Wine Down' on the 1st Friday of the month, and other casual gatherings that bring wine together with that Texas life.

Beautiful place. Inside and out.
The house was beautiful and perfect for our group. It was so cozy and comfortable and was spotless. There was plenty of room to gather indoors, but we spent most of our time sitting on the porches, around the fire pit, and especially down by the creek. I wish we had more time to enjoy the other areas like the swing and the hammock, but we spent most of our time hiking during the day (highly recommend Milton Reimers Ranch Park nearby). But the thing that makes this house really special is the beautiful setting. The rock formation and beautiful clear creek right behind the house felt like a destination in itself. It was really magical to see it, and the pictures don’t do it justice. We truly loved this place and would definitely stay there again.

Great Stay
This was our second stay at Carol's house in Spicewood. The house had plenty of room for our group of six to relax and unwind, both in the house and on the great wraparound covered porch area. It was a good location for day trips to Fredericksburg, Marble Falls, Gruene & more. Our only difficulty was the road leading to the house was fairly washed out and tricky to maneuver, but this was outside the owner's control. She was very quick to respond and send maintenance for issues she could address. We were very happy with our stay here.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Davis

Host profile image
Growing up in the country on a Texas Ranch gave me great appreciation for all things nature has to offer. Went to the Big City Lights in Houston to start my career as a Court Reporter, and when the city lights dimmed, I found myself yearning for nature and animals. I purchased a ranch about an hour from Houston and run a bed and breakfast there. Recently I was drawn to the Hill Country outside of Austin and am blessed to have had the opportunity to purchase this little slice of heaven in Spicewood and also have the opportunity to share it with others for rest, respite, and relaxation. May you enjoy it and have many lasting memories.

Why they chose this property

This beautiful, secluded home is so well situated with great places to go in any direction any time of year. If you want football games and 6th street musicians, you are 30 min. from Austin. If you want natural spring fed water holes for swimming , there are two very nearby. Love the wineries, and these Texas wineries are Napa with a Texas twist and well worth exploring! Check out the local eateries, Poodies, J-5 Steakhouse, La Cabana and, many people's favorite, Angel's Icehouse. I adore this house with the rock fireplace, great bedroom arrangements and the wide porches with the stunning view of the creek. The peace and sounds of nature is soothing to the soul!

What makes this property unique

I fell in love with fabulous house when I saw the beautiful creek and heard the waterfall! This is an oasis! The spring and its falls are audible from the backyard and keeps this creek full and clear! You will be drawn to the deep porches and the rock fireplace. Two bedrooms are downstairs and two up and they can easily accommodate your family. This is a perfect place to relax with your family, plus the location is so close to Bee Cave (15 minutes/Spicewood Center) and 30 minutes to downtown Austin.
Gaze at the numerous constellations. We have horseshoes, badminton and volleyball, as well as darts and ping pong on the porch and skittles, a fast paced game of pins and tops. Our guests are welcome to fish(catch and release only), hike up and down the creek embankments to see the caves and spring that feeds our creek, or paddle board and raft. There is a rock patio above that has a table set for those who wish to picnic outdoors and a swing hanging from a tree that calls for a good book to read. If you are interested in a more challenging way to have fun, we have neighbors who are experienced rock climbers who can provide you with equipment and instruction at whatever level you wish.

This newly furnished Texas farmhouse with handsome wide planked hardwood flooring is equipped to handle up to 8 people with four bedrooms and three full baths. All of the mattresses are brand new pillowtops. Two of the spacious bedrooms are up with a full bath. There is a queen in one bedroom with a huge chest of drawers and a rocker.

The master also has a separate jacuzzi tub with double sinks and a shower. There is a flat screen TV. in the large master bedroom as well as a chair and ottoman and a large chest of drawers.
The great room has soaring two story ceilings with beams and a fireplace!
