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

Why Steve Smith and Linda Scott chose Bastrop
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 cabin 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.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Linda and Steve,
My wife and I had a great stay in your cabin. The accommodations were better than advertised. My son and his wife came out from Manor and we all had a very nice visit. The weather was perfect and the cabin was well stocked with all the extras. We definitely will return and will whole heartedly recommend it to our friends. Thank you for sharing this place with us.

Wonderful!

Wonderful rustic treehouse!
We throughly enjoyed our extended stay at the Bastrop cabin. The place was spotless and had real Texas charm! The wrap-around porch was our favorite place for coffee at the start of the day. The bird watching was such a treat. It was very quiet and peaceful. My husband especially enjoyed the hammock. We had everything we needed and enjoyed cooking on the gas grill. It got a little chilly the last weekend and we were eager to tryout the fireplace inside and had great family time with our daughter. Would highly recommend to anyone. Owners were easy to reach and very friendly.
Hill Country getaway
Really loved getting out of the city and into this little corner of the country log cabin treehouse. Great views of the misty morning Colorado river and the interior is well done. Momma loved the kitchen and bathroom. The shower was amazing. Very comfortable living area and beds. We had read about the local train and barking dogs, but we didn't experience either throughout our 3-night stay. We had a very nice, peaceful Christmas here and certainly recommend it for VRBO users.

Hubby and I stayed here for 4 nights while waiting to move into our new home in Bastrop. I try to be honest when writing reviews, so I will list the pros and cons of this listing.
Pros: Indeed a beautiful cabin...inside. Wood from top to bottom, great shower, comfy beds, all appliances in working order. Clean sheets and towels. Plenty of dishes and other kitchen items. Relaxing great room furniture. Fast internet.
Cons: Located in a run down part of town, with roads leading to cabin so rutted and unpaved, that one needs an off-road vehicle to arrive. I would not want to try to drive there in rainy weather or one would be stranded. Upon first glance, the stairs and decking need refinishing, the greenery around the place trimmed back, and the trash picked up in the yard. While situated on the banks of the Colorado, we did not find it pretty, as the river appeared to be a stagnant large pond. Noise was the biggest issue: the drone of small aircraft, train tracks a block away that are still is use, and the constant road noise from 71/21. This all noticeable inside the home...much louder outside. Neighbors dogs barked continuously all through the day and night. The windows are filthy both inside and out. We picked up/killed 6 very huge roaches. There is no TV, which is noted in the listing...but way at the bottom. Hubby was really mad that I didn't notice this issue before booking and paying.
I would not recommend this property to anyone having difficulty with stairs. It is a long hike, especially when lugging items up.
After reading reviews, I was much disappointed with this cabin and its location.
Bottom line: would I stay here again? No.
Beautiful fall weekend on the river
This was the perfect retreat for our family this weekend! Outdoor space to enjoy the beautiful weather and a cozy cabin feel to spend time together. We had everything we needed!
Loved it! Only wish we had it longer!
Very beautiful location. Comfortable and clean log cabin with lots of charm and all necessities. Breathtaking views of the Colorado River. Bastrop is a super cute little town with lots of live music and Austin is a short drive away and Gruene is not too long a trek! We will be back again and again!
Amazing Log Treehouse Cabin
This treehouse cabin was just beautiful!! It was soooo quiet next to the river. The inside is just beautiful--bedrooms are so spacious as well as the bathroom. My husband couldn't join us, but I can't wait to go back again when he can come. My daughter and her family who live in Austin just loved it and want to go back some day, too. The town of Bastrop is a quaint little town and can't wait to go back again and explore the area more. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home with us!
