Good to Know Before Booking

PineyWoods House is ideal for guests seeking a peaceful, nature-focused experience. If you are looking for a larger luxury home designed for indoor entertaining, one of our sister properties (RiverHouse, RiversEdge, RiverNook, or Harmony House) may be a better fit.

We live nearby on the property but respect your privacy. You may see us occasionally outdoors.

If you'd like to stay longer, please book additional nights as early as possible, subject to availability. Check-out by the posted time on your departure date is required, and late departures are subject to an hourly fee.

Wonderful!

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!

Nice quiet retreat

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

Peaceful setting

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.

The Best

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.

About the host

Hosted by Andy

Host profile image
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.

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 wildlife. If you love wildlife and forest, you'll love it here!
