Great Experience!

We wanted to find a quiet place close to Austin for a relaxing weekend. This was the perfect place! The cabins were exactly as advertised. We were impressed with the attention to detail and creativity with the furnishings. The view from the large porch was a great location to watch the horses off in the distance, deer and variety of birds. Kellee did a great job communicating through several emails. We knew exactly what to expect and there were no surprises or disappointments. One of our highlights was meeting Kiki our first evening. She was very friendly and told us about the horses. She’s definitely a hard worker as we heard or saw her four-wheeler often as she took care of the horses and property. We could tell that she’s an asset to the daily operation of the large ranch. We had a great experience. Don’t hesitate to reserve this cabin.

Springtime Perfection

Surrounded by rolling hills this perfectly secluded home was just what we needed. Both cabins are beautifully appointed and offer everything you need and more. The bedding and towels were of the best quality and the kitchen lacked nothing. Turn off all the lights in the evening and enjoy the Texas night sky. Thanks for everything.

Weekend getaway

My wife and I stayed for long weekend and really enjoyed our stay. Visited family nearby and enjoyed evenings in Bastrop. Place was very clean and as advertised. No negatives but be aware it is bumpy gravel road to the house.

Even Prettier than the Pictures!

My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend for our baby-moon. The pictures really don’t do this place justice. The property is large and private with multiple places to sit and watch the sunset. There is a fire pit outside that’s positioned to give you a great view. We didn’t use the outdoor tub because we visited in February, but it was still really neat! The interior is also gorgeous and feels luxurious. There are so many little amenities we didn’t expect. The hosts really thought of everything. Short drive to Bastrop, and about 45 to an hour from Austin. We did trips to both and loved being able to have a private area to retreat back to at the end of the night. 10 out 10. We would definitely visit again!

50th Anniversary Celebration

We stayed at VBRO Silverthorn in McDade, TX in January 2024 for our 50th wedding anniversary. It is a lovely property on a ranch with 40 Australian Stock horses. Silverhorn is on higher elevation on a hill that overlooks the ranch. The accommodations are top notch with everything you could possibly need for an extended stay. We had a great time on the property and did excursions to Austin, Round Top, Lockhart, and other small towns within an hour of Silverthorn. We want to go back in the future and give the property 5 out of 5 stars. You need to try their properties or you are missing out on a spectacular one of a kind accommodation.

About the host

Your host

I am a practicing veterinarian who also breeds Australian Stock Horses. I love sharing this beautiful property with others.

Why they chose this property

Sandhaven offers privacy and peace. Silverthorn is located in the middle of a 128-acre wildlife refuge. The Australian Stock Horse breeding operation is located on the lower 105 acres. Wifi (we have a cell tower on the property) offers the ability to work from the cabin. We are located within an easy drive to Austin, Bastrop or Round Top for shopping or entertainment, and 225 acres, surrounded on all sides by other large tracts of land, offers a chance to relax after your endeavors.
