Direct river access (great for tubing, swimming, relaxing) 8 patios and seating areas Tropical dome greenhouse with koi pond Hammocks and shaded lounging areas throughout Frequent wildlife sightings and exceptional birdwatching You’ll feel completely immersed in nature—yet you’re only 2 miles from downtown Bastrop. Location Highlights 2 miles to downtown Bastrop (restaurants, shops, events) 5 miles to Bastrop State Park 9 miles to Buescher State Park Kayak rentals available from local guides found online. ~33 miles to Austin Good to Know The River here is on a gravel bar and is typically about knee deep. Since it is shallow, the water can be swift at the bank but calmer and deeper at the end of the gravel bar which is better for fishing and swimming. Entry is from the bank, walk in through the elephant ears. This is a natural, riverfront setting—expect wildlife, insects, and changing outdoor conditions. Outdoor furniture may need a dusting off each morning. The tropical dome is a greenhouse and can get warm and humid during the day Grounds may occasionally be shared with guests from our sister property Harmony House, located on the same grounds, but there is plenty of space and privacy for all or you can rent both. Booking Tips Most guests wish they had stayed longer—3+ nights is highly recommended and automatically discounted when available. We hope to see you soon!
