Spicewood, Texas
This is a little peaceful cabin/house on the Pedernales River arm of Lake Travis out in the country. Update fall 2023, while the views and peace are as great as ever, the Pedernales River is more of a creek than a river. We are across from the Blissful Hill wedding venue.
Our home sits up on a bluff overlooking the Pedernales river with river and canyon views. The river is low right now, but there is still water to gaze out on, along with lots of sky, birds, canyons, and an expansive feeling of nature.
There is complete privacy on one side of the home where our two year old hot tub (serviced weekly) is located. There are two bedrooms. One bedroom has a king bed and the other has two doubles. There is one full bath and a second half bath. . There is a flat screen TV in the living and each of the bedrooms.
If you start craving action, we are centrally located between Austin and Marble Falls and only 15 minutes to the Lakeway Hill Country Galleria's restaurants, shops and theaters. Or maybe just open a bottle of wine and hang out on the deck on the porch swing. Or take off down to Krause Spring's famous spring-fed swimming hole and butterfly garden a couple minutes a way. Or try some new wines from Stone House Winery, also just a few minutes away. And of course Opies Barbeque and Poodie's Roadhouse, and Angels are famous in Spicewood.

Little old and not the surrounding area not maintained
Just what we needed to reset! Pictures are true!
House was everything we needed for our weekend stay. Evenings out on the back deck were very peaceful and relaxing. Hot tub was a plus too. Would definitely come back with family.
Had a great time and the property was amazing!
Property was in a nice location. Views from the pouch were very nice.
This property is not well kept. Driving up we see wood piles and what looks like a porta-potty. We go in and it seems it has not been lived in for a while. The porch overlooking the river was dusty, cob-webs all around. Then we were locked out and couldn't go back in. As we were walking around the house to get back to our car, we heard the neighbors say yeah, you're locked out as if they knew and has something to do with it. We felt very uneasy and unsafe so we decided to leave and stay at a hotel instead. I've stayed in many VRBO properties and this place did not meet our expectations. The owner apologized and said she will refund us the money we paid. I am still waiting for this.
We enjoyed our time at this home…evenings in the hot tub and morning coffee out on the deck! Such a cute house and great location to visit various vineyards, breweries and Krause Springs! The owner was prompt to reply as well. You will love your time here!
We absolutely loved our stay! The house was everything we could have hoped for! Definitely will be back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.. very comfortable.. had everything we needed and more! The hot tub was amazing and HOT! The view was spectacular .. the water is not reachable anymore bc the lake is so low for years..very enjoyable and private.. nice and quiet.. perfect for our anniversary.. felt like we were in a treehouse on the patio.. listening to the birds.. Enjoy it!
Nice quiet place Has everything we need for 2 of us House is clean. Location is perfect for our trip View from balcony is very beautiful Full kitchen with everything you think you may need Hot tub very relaxing Make sure you bring enough food for entire stay. This place is far away from any stores and restaurants
Rustic home, private location, private setting. Could use some updates in the downstairs sleeping area (We did not need to utilize this area), but overall a nice stay in the main upstaire area.
To begin the Owner let us check in a little early because we got here soon, which I really appreciated! The house is so big and nice, it looks just like the pictures! The king size bed is so comfortable! The view is insane it’s so peaceful and gorgeous you are literally on the lake looking at the lake on all three sides. My favorite part was the hot tub. It’s huge it works really well and I love all the colors. The host is very kind and helpful. I really suggest this property for your next visit around this area!
Neglect is one thing but negligence that can put a customer in danger is quite another. DO NOT STAY HERE! While it may have been a showplace in its heyday, that day is long past and apparently the owners do not care that the home is in severe need of attention and continue to advertise it on VRBO. It was not the 2-inch roaches that greeted us, the dangerous railing on the exterior porches, or the deteriorating exterior staircases that caused the greatest concern. It wasn’t the severely compromised swing set (don’t bring your kids here!) or the “treacherous” walk from the house to the lakeshore that was most upsetting (In all fairness, the owner does warn that the walk from the house to the shore is steep and “treacherous” but it is made even more so by the unmentioned dilapidated boathouse seemingly ready to collapse from the weight of anyone who dares to step foot on the boathouse decking.) It was truly the lack of concern by the owner that was most upsetting and irritating. When we called to report that there was no hot water and asked if she could help remedy the situation, she said her plumber probably could not do anything until Monday so we should plan to bathe in the hot tub for the remainder of our stay. (The water heater looks to be about 50 years old and a definite fire hazard with the exposed wiring).
