La Casa Roja was designed and built by the owner in 2003 as her idyllic Hill Country escape. This beautiful 10 acre site on the Llano River is the perfect retreat, where heavenly mornings are spent on the 500 sq. ft screened porch sipping coffee, watching birds, and taking in the view. The property has direct river access with deep swimming holes and great fishing, plus two fire pits, breathtaking sunsets, and nothing but wide TX skies (shooting stars included!)
A great place for a romantic getaway, weekend with friends, or family time. La Casa Roja is just a great place to relax and let the world slide by!
The kitchen was updated in 2025 with all new state of the art appliances, and fully stocked with all cookware and plateware to enjoy gourmet meals at home. You can even cook outside on the charcoal grill and enjoy the most dramatic sunsets in Texas and the Llano River!
The living area has plenty of comfortable seating to enjoy a good book, music on the Bose speaker, and a 42" flat screen TV/DVD, DirecTV satellite. On chilly nights, enjoy the wood burning fireplace (with gas starter!) There are two dining areas, one indoor and one outdoor (in the screened in porch), which can each comfortably seat 6 guests.
The ranch-style house has three bedrooms--two king-sized beds and two twin beds--and two full bathrooms. The king (master) bedroom enjoys direct access to the screened in porch, and has enough space to accommodate a pack and play (not included).
There is a laundry room/pantry with a stack washer/dryer, microwave, and all necessary cleaning supplies.
But the beauty of this place is in the great outdoors! There are a number of great places to post up and hang out across the property, from a two-person swing down by the river to picturesque benches overlooking the view, two firepits, and a cozy couch area (separate from the dining table) in the screened in porch.
Downtown Llano is 11 miles away, Fredericksburg is 30 minutes away, Enchanted Rock is 20 minutes away, Castell is 8 miles west on RR 152, but you may never want to leave this cozy, private retreat.

Excellent stay. Last minute decision to spend Christmas near hill country. The home was clean, well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Plenty of space for a family of 5 plus an 80lb german shepherd. Easy river access, wooden swing for reading, used the grill and ate in the screened in sunporch. Nice and secluded. Property has a gate, that needs an access code to get in, nice added security. Would definitely come back here.
We had a great time! Nice peaceful getaway, great screened in porch, great house for two couples with kids.Definitely on our list for repeat vacations.
We were in the area for an event and needed a comfortable place to stay with our family….we were not disappointed. Beautiful location and access to the river. The house was roomy and very comfortable. Will definitely stay here again.
Thank you for having a most wonderful place to come and unwind from the hustle of life. It is paradise inside and out. The kitchen was especially nice and stocked with everything you would need. The appliances are exceptional. A10 experience Hope to see you again soon.

Thank you Tammy for your sweet words! You are always welcome at La Casa Roja!! See you soon!
We love this property and have stayed several times. It’s our favorite quick getaway from Austin. Very peaceful and restful. (Do be cautious with very young ones - lots of spiny or stinging flora or fauna in the country - littles cannot be outside unsupervised.)
This is a beautiful property and a very well laid out cabin. We visited with two families of three plus one small dog. We had plenty of space for everybody. Enjoy your time here and book longer if you have the time. You won't want to leave!Only word of advice, is to bring some good water shoes. The river entry can be a bit steep and slippery at times.

Beautiful little get away spot
Absolutely love this cabin! We have stayed here a few times now and it is just cozy. You can enjoy the screened in porch while watching wildlife, go walk the river, or just chill inside. Close enough to Llano or Casteel. Only thing that was confusing was check in, they wanted you to call and text upon arrival/departure but no number was provided anywhere in instructions, email or vrbo.
It’s a little out of the way but we really enjoy the location and the cozy home. Kids loved the river and climbing on the giant rocks. Looking forward to coming back in the future.
My husband and I have visited this property for many years. It’s always very clean and comfortable. Karen is always kind and professional. We will continue to come back!
We have been staying in the hill country since I was young (my grandfather and dad are hunters). This is by far the most beautiful place I’ve ever stayed. It was pristine, about a 5 min walk from the river, and had all of the amenities that we needed.
Nice riverside home with everythjng you need for a great stay. The property was very nice even with the river being low from the drought, I can only imagine how it will be when the Hill country gets their much needed rain
