I’m so happy you guys had a great stay with us. Thanks for being awesome guests! We do hope to see you again soon. Until then be well and safe in your travels!
This was a wonderful property! We sincerely enjoyed every minute of being here! The deer and other wildlife were so fun to watch. Our boys loved wandering the woods around the house, and it was really close to the state parks we wanted to hike!
We will definitely be back!

Weekend getaway
Very clean and the host was very personable and helpful. Quiet setting but when we booked we didn’t realize it was so close to the host’s back door.

Very quiet cottage. Our host was very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the peaceful getaway while we waited out the Hurricane in Florida. It was nice to see all the deer grazing in the nearby forrest.
Thank you

Piney Woods House was everything we could ask for. Really clean and a true Zen setting. My wife sat on the deck each morning and talked to the herd of deer that camped out in the backyard.
Can’t wait to book our next stay with Andy.

We loved the little cottage. It was clean & homey. When you walk out the door you are faced with a wooded area. So peaceful! In the mornings and in the evenings we enjoyed sitting outside facing the woods and listening to the birds and all of the other sounds of nature. Those tree frogs provided quite a chorus in the evenings! I highly recommend this host and location.

Growing up in small town Texas, I was fortunate that it was situated on a River. I love the River and forest life and sharing my properties along the river and forest here in Bastrop. I love kayaking the river and hiking our two State Parks. Ask me about our Serenity Experiences... A favorite with our guest!
Why they chose this property
I chose this area for the forest and river. Two State Parks are just a short distance away and the City of Bastrop is just a great place to live and visit
What makes this property unique
PineyWoods House is situated in a quiet neighborhood in the middle of a large pine forest. We love to watch deer and their babies and keep water and food out for them. If you love wildlife you'll love it here!
