Only 2 miles from historic downtown Bastrop; 25 miles from the airport (AUS) and 40 minute drive from Austin. Golfing, kayaking, bicycling, shopping, fishing, live theater, antique shops, farmer's markets.

Beautiful Log Treehouse: We bought this cabin in the summer of 2009 and feel so fortunate to be able to share it with guests and friends and family. All three of our kids (now grown) love coming here to kayak, fish, golf, bird watch, relax and explore with their families. Our cabin is nestled high up in Pecan, Sycamore, Mimosa and Redbud trees. The view from the upper deck is fantastic. Great for bird watching. We hear the owls at night and watch red tailed hawks make nests and raise their babies. We have left the chicken coop standing as some day we hope to retire here and raise a small flock. You can't beat this for a perfect vacation spot whether you're wanting adventure or relaxation.

Most Historic Town in Texas: Bastrop is known as the 'most historic small town in Texas'. Historic Main Street has lots of interesting shops great for hunting antiques, great restaurants, live music in the evenings and a good old down home environment. There are an abundance of parks, several excellent golf courses, places to rent bikes and kayaks, live theater at the Bastrop Opera House and incredible historic homes. We're only 40 minutes from Austin and 30 minutes from the Austin Bergstrom Airport

Relaxing get away

We loved our time at this sweet cabin!! Even though it rained while there, we enjoyed time on the beautiful deck, watching the river. We were 5 minutes from Bastrop and enjoyed hiking in Bastrop State Park and eating downtown. The cabin had all of the supplies that we needed and more. I would definitely recommend this cabin and we will be back!!

River side view

It was wonderful sitting on the balcony overlooking the River. Very peaceful, quiet neighborhood. The decor inside the cabin was very nice & extremely clean...well stocked kitchen, both a coffeepot & Keurig, plus a kettle to make hot tea..all the utensils. Bring your own music, as there is no TV, which made it more relaxing to just listen to our own music. Plenty of blankets & pillows, comfortable king bed. Very quiet & location is wirhin 10 minutes of town & restaurants. Highly recommend.

Most amazing view in Central TX

This cabin was an absolute delight to stay at, Steve and Linda put a lot of thought and care into this property and it shows. The cabin is well stocked, and completely beautiful. The rustic vibes, paired with the warm, homey comfort of the beds, couches and indoor hammock! The view from the cabin is impeccable, the river is right there and the song of nocturnal creatures is a real treat. Also, there's ping pong! This a a great place to escape to if you're looking to unplug and reconnect with nature. It is also a short drive from downtown Bastrop, which is quite an up and coming little town. I highly recommend Kana Wine Bar. Not as much as I recommend this cabin though, it was my absolute dream vacation spot and I am so grateful to Steve and Linda for sharing this oasis with the world.

Cabin by the River

Absolutely loved the property and cabin! Stayed for the weekend with my kids. The patio area was spacious overlooking the perfect view of the Colorado river right outside the front door. The rustic decor and furnishings where a nice touch. There where so many trinkets, games and things to look at around the cabin that it became a type of treasure hunt for my kids discovering new things. All supplies you would need are there and well stocked. Went fishing off the dock, enjoyed a night around the fire pit roasting marshmallows and hot dogs... overall we had a great relaxing stay. Instructions where easy to follow, didn't have any issues, would stay here again.

Why they chose this property

We were so lucky to find this incredible cabin on the Colorado River in Bastrop that was previously owned by a friend of my sister. Once we saw how beautiful and peaceful it was we couldn't believe our good luck. We fell in love! It's such an incredible place for our family to gather. We fish, swim, kayak, ride bicycles, play ping pong and, oh yes, completely relax from the stresses of our busy lives.

What makes this property unique

The back yard has a private dock where you can sit and fish or launch a small boat or kayak. The cabin is kept immaculately clean. It's so spacious with vaulted ceilings in the living room. The Mayan family hammock is always up inside the cabin but can easily be hooked up on the upper deck. It's hard to find a more peaceful experience than having breakfast or coffee on the deck overlooking the river.
