AT JUST 2 MILES from Bergstrom airport and 6.2 miles from CIRCUIT OF THE AMERICAS (COTA), the Penny River cabin built in 2014 is located in the absolutely perfect location -- far enough fr town for relaxing peace and quiet but a short hop via paved access to 2 main highways and 3 main arteries that feed directly into north, central and south Austin, respectively. We rigrously sanitize and disinfect the property inside and out.

We are gated for extra security and feature a privacy fence on all 3 sides (the side featuring the beautiful Colorado River is open). The ideal arrangement here is for 3 adults. This puts mom and dad in a master bedroom on a beautiful new Tuft N Needle King Size bed with their own private bathroom and one additional individual (up to and including an adult) in the guest/study on a Murphy single (also brand new Serta, very comfy!).

KICK BACK...
in our Athens Mountain Pine Cabin. It is super-efficient, comfy and features decor that lean antique. Hit the deck and take in the beautiful Colorado River with all its wildlife and hundreds of songbirds. Moms, pops, kids, seniors, friends, *all welcome, even *Parties, but please advise us at the time of the booking of the number of anticipated guests you will invite and the expected duration of their stay and the duration of the party. (*Parties and guests temporarily restricted because of CV19). A huge plus at Penny River is that your cabin is basically 100% private; the owner lives on the property as well, but in a fenced-off, separate section. A reminder safety-wise is that the entire property is gated and fenced (except the side open to the river), adding a major degree of safety for you, your family, possessions and automobiles. Management accesses the area with the cabin for maintenance and to access their automobiles. Night lights feature motion-detection activation. Management will email, phone or knock on cabin door before entering -- should some maintenance issue require. We will only enter the cabin in your absence if some urgent or emergency issue warrants, " first knocking on -- twice -- and only then entering the premises.

Nights at Penny River can be almost magical. An impressive 115' x 30' back yard, plush with St Augustine grass, opens to a huge night sky above. Moonlight lights are especially captivating. Grill on the patio and handle a full party of guests (up to 25 total, which includes yourselves) on the deck/patio. A sliding glass kitchen window allows through-food-service to the deck for convenient serving and clean up.

We can't over-emphasize the 9 glorious miles Penny River is from downtown and the downtown noise, bustle and pollution, but if you must go into town you are mere blocks from 2 major highways to get you there using any 1 of the 3 major arteries into Austin from the east side. These connect to the north, central and south sides, accordingly (ask us). The lower section of the wine rack has lots of pamphlets on where to go, what to do and how to get there. Or maybe you're the quieter type that would prefer to stay close to the cabin and nature and just visit one of several beautiful hicking trails in the immediate area.

You might be looking for the ultimate quiet rest, in which case fill your pipe with your favorite tobacco, your glass with your favorite wine and drift away in the quiet and peace of Penny River.

INSIDE THE CABIN:
Every attempt is made to stock the cabin with essentials (paper towels, bathroom tissue, mosquito spray, charcoal starter, etc.). Should you throw a party for guests other than those booked, please give us a body county in advance and, most especially, AN AUTOMOBILE COUNT. This is to make sure we advise you in advance as to where on the street overflow parking is permitted.

If you do decide to explore downtown Austin don't miss beautiful Zilker Park, which abuts an amazing botanical garden. There are hiking trails everywhere. Ask locals what THEY like and don't be afraid to ask them what you'd like to see and explore. Austin is extremely friendly.

Finally, Penny River is secured by a gated and locked entrance and further secured by a privacy fence on all sides except the River, of course. 2 cars can easily park inside the confines. Please remember to ask before arriving in more than 2 cars; fire regulations by our insurance company require us to situate the cars in a certain way.

Once again, as we are subject to scheduled and sometimes unscheduled maintenance (lawn mowing, a plumbing problem, an electric failure resulting from a brownout or blackout) we will always attempt to give you as much advanced notice as possible before accessing the general area of your cabin. If we can't reach you, we may need to access your area unannounced. Unscheduled maintenance emergencies may not allow much advanced notice and possibly none. Thank you for understanding.
