Come out to the quiet and tranquil country like setting on the Llano River. Escape the busy race for a bit and come see nature at its best! Sit back and relax while gazing and listening to the crystal clear water trickling over the granite rock outcroppings. Enjoy modern conveniences in the remodeled river cabin with the exception of a traditional indoor stove (see kitchen details for other cooking equipment). The comfy Living room is equipped with a smart TV and there is a gaming console/tv in the guest bedroom. Families are welcome with lots of room to roam for children of all ages. There is plenty of gradual sloping land between the cabin and river for play. The cabin is safely located approximately 150 yards from the waters edge out of any flood plains. Come out and enjoy outdoor cooking, grilling or smoking while taking in the distant views from the huge deck. There is a small fire pit with Mesquite wood provided for some s’more roasting! Three kayaks are available for use if you decide to venture down the incredible Llano River and take in the Hill Country(bring along life jackets). The river is approximately 200’ wide at the property offering 2 rapid locations directly in front of the property. One rapid is close to the bank with easy bank access and the other is out towards the middle of the river. The water depth varies from gravely shallows close to the bank to deeper type holes out towards the middle. Several trees shade the bank for your favorite lawn chair and one tree even shades the water next to the small rapids gravely and sand area. Wildlife is abundant in the area with a possibility of seeing a beaver that lives in the area. The fishing is great in this area with catfish and bass. The property has plenty to offer if you love the outdoors and is quite comfortable to rest up and catch some peaceful sleep.

The rain so far in 2023 has been great for this part of the Llano. This is our 5th trip at Patrick’s and the river cabin gives you very special access to a beautiful section of the river. Would recommend for families or fisherman.
We've stayed at this location twice now and will come back again! Such a great location right on the river with everything you'd need. Our kids had a wonderful time exploring! *Be aware that the main cooking mechanism is microwave or grill, no stovetop or oven. The grill is awesome and was enough for us.
Quiet, relaxing, waterfront getaway. My son said it’s perfect and just like he remembers it. This is one place we keep coming back to and would love to come again. Quiet tranquil setting, super river access, great space and lovely country getaway. Out kid loves it, our dog loves it and we love it. We always eat dinner in town. This time we also visited the farmers market, a bbq spot and all the shops in town. Such a great vacation and lovely wknd getaway. Thanks for renting to us again.
Host provided all needed info timely. Lot was wonderful with great access to the River. There was an abundance of wildlife, we even saw some sort of wild mountain cat so kept pet on a long leash! Don’t think cabin had any heating but a space heater was available. Found one dead scorpion in the house but no others. I would recommend this property, especially to relax on the deck😃
My daughter & I had sought some peaceful time together on the Llano River in the midst of the pandemic & we achieved just that. We spent much time down at the property’s beautiful river frontage (and in the water during the heat of the day). We also kayaked a stretch of the river & I did some fly fishing. We sat on the deck during a good part of most mornings & evenings. Mission accomplished!
This was our first time staying in Llano, and this VRBO was like being in the country but still close to amenities. Beautiful property. Checkin was easy and exactly as shared. Directions were very clear. We had fun exploring he river. The river was extremely low (like every body of water due to the drought) but we walked and found a spot that was flowing. We found some great rocks, cooked off, played, hiked in the river sole more, up a huge rock in the river and back down, around and back. Would love to come back when the river is really flowing to see how it is. We appreciate being able to bring our dog, she was scared of the water but walked on the rocks and ran up and down the hill after and with us. The house is small but was just what we needed. We ate dinner out each night at a different spot. We got a couple TV channels and wasn't a big deal to be without cable afterall and our cell service was fine (no issues with AT&T). The only thing we weren't aware of and had no clue about was scorpions! We found several, I think eight so I would cautions walking barefoot inside and out. Over all a great stay and we'd do it again. The porch and deck is nice, we just went in at dark after feeding the deer (saw a few). And the view for the house to the river is spectacular. Thank you for letting us stay!
Even though it was much hotter and drier this stay than our last we still had a wonderful time. The property is beautiful and so peaceful and relaxing. The house was clean and inviting.
The owner does a tremendous job taking care of the property and of the visitors. We arrived late on a Thursday evening and on Friday morning my husband realized the coffee pot wasn't working and that the refrigerator wasn't cooling properly. He emailed the owner and by 4:00 that same afternoon a new coffee pot and a new refrigerator were delivered to the the house!! We certainly did not expect that kind of service.
Would definitely stay here again!
I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for to escape from the normal hustle and bustle of everyday life. My family really enjoyed the peace and quiet and watching the wildlife. We loved using the grill and while my husband was cooking, the rest of us lounged on the huge deck. The whole process was a breeze and we knew if we needed anything we could reach out to Patrick. We didn’t have to though since the home had everything we needed. It was the perfect place for what my family was looking for and we would stay again!
We enjoyed our 3 night stay in this river cabin. The river is beautiful and my 2 sons (11 and 14) enjoyed going up and down the river in the kayaks fishing all day. My husband and I loved just sitting in river chairs enjoying the peaceful Llano river! We went into Castell one day for burgers at the general store. We ate lunch one day in Llano at Gio’s Italian restaurant after hiking Enchanted Rock! Nothing was disappointing. Everything was great! We would love to go back!❤️😎
We love staying here! We’ve stayed here multiple times over past couple years in both summer & spring months. The cabin is always clean & comfortable. Patrick, the owner, is always super nice, helpful & quick to respond. The street is quiet & secluded & the neighbors are very nice & friendly.
The river area is awesome with a swimming area anywhere from ankle deep to over 5ft deep. Great place to explore or just relax & cool off.
We needed a short break from the world, and this was the perfect place. We enjoyed sitting on the deck listening to birds and watching the wildlife. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We came to Llano to find a little Llanite (which we did), but we also found a great little town, some cool hiking places, and the perfect home away from home to enjoy it in.
The property was just as he explained. Very relaxing. House was perfect for our family of four. Walk down to the water was easy for all of us and was very clean. Kids played in the water(COLD .. but kids don't care) and we could sit and watch them. Picnic table was perfect. We will definitely be back. THANK YOU again Patrick. :)
In addition to a nice property as noted by others (we appreciate that the lawn was mowed from the house all the way down to the river), we loved Llano. Having to work one day of our stay, we went to the coffee shop in town for WiFi, and we met lots of great people, enjoyed the live music and got in a little Christmas shopping before heading back to the property for fishing and grilling burgers.
We were so pleased with our decision to stay here! Patrick was fabulous in responding to the few questions we had. It was mentioned in a previous review that a wagon was helpful to tote items between the cabin and river. So happy we brought ours. We ended up toting our dog back and forth because even though the land was so nicely mowed, there were stickers the time of year we stayed. We 1000% would love to come back. We did not see another human our entire 3 days on the river. Exactly what we were hoping for. As with any rental, if you can not live without it, bring it with you just in case. LOVED this section of the river!!! Valerie, Andrew & T-Max
We loved the location and access to the river. You can’t see the River very well from the porch and we did see a rattlesnake two days in a row by the water but it didn’t ruin our fun.
We went late June and though it was warm it was cool inside and has a terrific access to the river. You can easily get down to take a dip (or sit) in the river. Nice grassy seating area next to the river for wonderful sunrise and sunset views. there is also a nice seating area outside up by the house. It was peaceful and relaxing. I would definitely stay hear again.
We had a great stay! The house is set up very well. Large shower and nice kitchen space. Everything you need for cooking and eating. There is no stove, but we just cooked everything on the grill. The bedrooms are very large and had enough space for 2 pack and plays. The bedrooms are bright during the day time so we put trash bags over the windows to block the light so our twins could nap. The porch is the best part! It's huge and has plenty of chairs to sit and enjoy the view. We saw a doe with a fawn and many beautiful birds. The spot on the river is perfect. There is shallow and deep spots very close, so the kids could play and we did some fishing.. There is a spot on the way down to the water that is very rocky, so we had to take the kids out of the wagon and carry them the rest of the way. The table, chairs, and picnic table are so nice by the river! We took a big umbrella for the table. The house is close enough to run into Llano for anything, and very close to Castell General Store.
We had an issue with the water in the house, but the owner was quick to get with us and get it fixed. Great communication and overall a lovely stay! Thank you so much!
