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 Prairies & Lakes
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 created a warm, clean and welcoming home for our stay. The cabin's kitchen, living room and bedrooms were spacious. We really enjoyed sitting on the dock on the Colorado River to relax. The river banks in April were lush and verdant.

Best Ever
We loved it! This house is magical.
Great Retreat on Beautiful Colorado River
This wonderful cabin was better than advertised. The check-in process was easy and went smoothly. The cabin had everything required (and more) for a great weekend getaway. Everything was clean and instructions for operating the appliances were well posted. The location on the Colorado River was remote enough to experience the quiet but still close enough to Bastrop for a visit to the historical town. The fishing pier was convenient and allowed us to catch and release a few little bass. The weather was perfect for sitting outside on the porch for coffee and/or adult beverage. The BBQ grill was clean and ready for cooking steaks (which we did). I would recommend heartily this rental and will do this again.
A decent cabin built, and maintained with heart
It's a luxurious yet practical cabin that enhances one's vacation mood. Must come back again.
Perfect for a family getaway!!!
We loved our quick family getaway at the cabin. The cabin is so cozy and the beds were VERY comfy! The cabin is stocked with all amenities needed and then some. Our kids loved playing ping pong tournaments at night after dinner and fishing off of the pier. We even caught a glimpse of the meteor shower last night before bedtime! We will definitely return soon!
loved it! So relaxing
Weekend with my son we'll never forget
Beautiful cabin on the river! Six of us enjoyed our weekend getaway.
Very clean. Comfortable beds. Great view.
