Loved our stay at this peaceful VRBO. We relaxed on the covered balcony a lot: listening to birds, watching the squirrels, reading books, sipping our drinks and enjoying the river view. King bed and living room furniture were comfy and the shower was spacious. We used the stairs by the dock to access the river for an evening swim. The river current surprised me because one must steadily swim just to stay near the dock and the water-depth was over my head; not a problem for me as I am a strong swimmer. I really liked the ground-level porch swing! A lot of stairs for anyone who has bad knees (me), but worth the effort. Good communication with owner. Great kitchen for cooking. For dinner out try Cedar’s (Italian) or PawPaw’s (excellent fried catfish and shrimp). We hope to return as it was so relaxing!

Overall the experience was enjoyable. Only suggestion would be to kill the poison ivy on the stairs.

It was a beautiful cabin and neighborhood was so peaceful. Cabin is located close to main stores and dining. An unforgettable experience. I can't wait to return. The view of the Colorado River is breathless.

Our third visit to this delightful property! Comfortable digs, relaxing Colorado River views and sounds, and attentive hosts. We definitely plan on coming again.

Our stay was amazing! The road to the cabin was mentioned as being rough. So, on that note, it’s not smooth but it’s not horrible. Definitely nothing to base your stay off of. We watched UPS and Amazon vans navigate it perfectly fine. The location is peaceful and relaxing for sure. The cabin is immaculate and has everything you need. It is off the beaten path yet close to everything. We kayaked, tubed, played horseshoes, and enjoyed ping pong for hours! My husband caught a couple catfish but the water was high for much fishing. Communication with Linda and Steve was perfect. They were attentive and responded quickly when we were booking. I definitely recommend staying here.

The pictures do not do this place justice, it’s gorgeous! Hosts were very responsive. We took our own tubes and floated from the property to fisherman’s park. The water felt great. Weather was great, water was great, view was great, house was awesome! We loved that there was no tv! We played games, painted, fished, pingponged 🤗, and enjoys our time together: Only negative have nothing to do with the rental, the road leading up to the house is really rough so drive slowly.

This was a beautiful property, very relaxing. The only issues we had was the way the front door locked which there is no way to lock it from the inside, the French doors don't really close well or lock well. This caused an uneasy concern as well as not being informed of an entry key hidden that we found the 2nd day there. In our thoughts this key was not locked in the house which someone could have entered the property while we were there. Another issues we had was the thermostat, were not sure if the owners can control it from their phones due to it being a smart thermostat. When we got there the cabin was hot and set to 86 degrees which is what they ask to be cut up to prior to check out. We understand that. We cut it down to 72 to have it cool off. There was multiple times where the thermostat would be cut back up to 76-78 degrees without us touching it. This made our stay hot and uncomfortable most of the time. Needless to say we would cut it down as we found it had been cut back up. I do believe that with what we paid for the cabin we should have been able to be comfortable in the cabin temp wise. Another issue we found was insects all over the cabin that looked like lightening bugs but they were not. They crawled all over the roof and would fall on us while we slept so we had many sleepless nights with the bugs and the temp in the cabin. I would recommend to the owners to put up curtains to close off windows at night in common areas. We stayed a week for our anniversary, during the day it was amazing with the views and relaxing environment which we were outside most of the time or site seeing. Night time is where we had issues. The neighbor is good friends with the owners so I'm sure he keeps a good eye on their place which is a good thing. On our second day there early in the morning 3 dogs showed up. Not to sure where they came from but we assumed they were neighborhood dogs. The neighbor questioned us on if they were our dogs because he hasn't seen them around there before. We explained our dogs were at home because you cant have animals here. Like I said not all our experience was bad, if things were to change on the bugs, locking of the cabin and the thermostat we would stay again at this cabin.

The cabin was the perfect place for us to enjoy our time in TX for our niece’s graduation! The cabin is very spacious and comfortable, with all the amenities and things you could possibly need. We had a great time staying there, and would absolutely book again. Thank you Steve and Linda!! Amy White, South Carolina

My family and I needed little get away and this exceeded our expectations. The beauty of the house and the view is breath taking. We would defiantly love to visit again.

Cabin was exactly like the pictures. Great relaxing weekend.

This cabin had everything for our weekend getaway with friends to celebrate my husbands birthday! The view of the River from the deck was mesmerizing. We were captivated by the peaceful tranquility of our surroundings. Inside, the cabin is clean, spacious and nicely updated. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prepare a meal. It has a very nice bathroom with a large shower and nice sized bedrooms. Communications with Steve and Linda were easy and the location was great! Can’t say enough good things about our weekend here!

This was our 2nd stay at the Bastrop River House, as our base for attending events at COTA - and it was the perfect place again! The hosts are helpful and communicate quickly and clearly, and off the perfect respite from a busy day at the track. We've seen the cabin during Fall and Spring and it's lovely to see the changes in the wildlife and flora. LOTS of birds singing as the sun rises - the perfect way to start the day, with a cuppa on the deck! Thanks again Linda & Steve!

This cabin was the best. The beauty of the river. The ease of checking in. The immediate communication from the owners was top notch. Also, I cant say enough about the small town its located not even 5 minutes from. Bastrop is such a welcoming and nice place to be a tourist in. We spent more time at the cabin and in Bastrop than we did in Austin(lol). However, Austin is easy access. We could not be happier with our stay. The Nobles Family🥰

Bastrop is one of the more interesting small towns in Central Texas, and we stayed two miles away from the historic downtown in a cabin on the Colorado river( the Texas Colorado, not the more famous one in the state of Colorado). This quaint, romantic spot is located on a river front, natural setting just off the beaten path but close to area attractions. The views from the main living area, the master bedroom and the deck outside are amazing. Pictures do not capture the depth and beauty of the views. The cabin is described as a treehouse as it is on stilts and a flight of stairs above the river. The house is uncluttered and has all the comforts of home. The gas fireplace in the living room was our favorite place to sit and read and look at the view. Good internet, no TV. We played scrabble each night in front of the fireplace. There is also a firepit close to the lake with plenty of wood provided. The owners were extremely helpful We needed to postpone for a week and they accommodated us straight away. All communications were timely. We absolutely loved this peaceful retreat

We had another great stay at this comfortable and clean Bastrop home. It’s very peaceful to sit and look out at the Colorado River roll by from the breakfast table. I highly recommend this property to any family staying in the area.

We loved our stay. The property was perfect for our needs; we loved the view of the Colorado river and convenient drive into town. The owners were easy to communicate with and their property is a comfortable and refreshing place to stay for our family.

This place was perfect and we had an amazing time!

Had an incredible time here. It is very peaceful. Love that you can walk to the pier and just sit or fish anytime you want. Or just sit up on the porch and enjoy the peace and quiet.

We had a great time. Thank you.

LOVED our stay at the river treehouse! The home and property are idyllic, with the perfect amount of seclusion but easy access to Bastrop and COTA. Communication with Linda and Steve was super fast and easy - very responsive! We will definitely book again!

Great property in a great location. Had a very enjoyable time. There were a handful of cockroaches seen throughout the house. Not a huge issue for my stay specifically, but could be for someone else.

Beautiful views and really nice cabin

This house is so peaceful and comfortable. Hauling everything up the stairs was a pain, but the view made it worth it.
