Our second time at the property and again we had the peaceful get away we needed. Sitting by the camp fire marveling at the night sky was perfect. Our dog enjoyed frolicking in the river as much as we enjoyed the fly fishing. Hope to continue to make this part of our Christmas getaway destinations.

A peaceful and relaxing property. We always enjoy staying at this jewel on the Llano.

Slightly rustic, but all the necessities are there. We enjoy being a part of the rugged beauty of Kimble County.

Had a great, relaxing time

This place was awesome. Just as described! Plenty of space for 5 people and 2 big dogs. Gorgeous views, easy river access. Stars were amazing at night. Had a nice bird feeder and bird bath so we saw lots of birds, including a thirsty roadrunner. Would love to stay here again! Only wish was for a hummingbird feeder, next time will bring one! Great place to set up the telescope and star watch.

Llano Adventure

Not our first time here. The place is still great and kept up well. Enjoyed the river mostly. Wife and I relaxed while the kids fished. They caught a largemouth bass, several guadalupe bass, several rio grande cichlids, and a longear. Everyone was happy!

Welcome break!

We really enjoyed our stay. Loved being able to relax and having ample room to ourselves was exactly what we needed. There’s plenty of land to explore, and the access to the beautiful river is excellent. Perfect amount of quiet fishing spots and rapids for kids. The water was too cool for us in March, we would love to come back in warmer months to really take advantage of the river. The house was perfect for us, with everything we needed and plenty of space. Thank you for such a wonderful place to bring our kids and dogs.

Welcoming in Fall on the Llano!

This property is one of the most beautiful spots on the Llano river. We brought our kayaks but the river was up so were unable to float this weekend but there were plenty of sights to keep up busy. Watching the deer, turkey and livestock, hiking, and rock hunting filled the day. Thank you to our hosts that always make sure the cabin is ready for guests. Will certainly return one day and I know it won't be soon enough for me.

Weekend getaway

Overall enjoyed our stay. Beautiful property. Would’ve liked it to be easier access to water, The large rocks made it challenging for older less agile person. Nice cabins. Everything great except the barndominium had an odd smell at times. Might’ve been from garage not sure. Otherwise very clean and nice. Wish we would’ve had more time. It was relaxing.

Response from VrboOwner on Aug 23, 2024
Glad you had a good time. Thank you for the feedback. Not sure what the smell was, but we will look into that. We appreciate your care of the property during your stay. There is a landing area that is good for swimming and boat/tube launching, but the rapids area is over rocky terrain which is difficult to traverse for some. We appreciate your stay.
