About this cabin rental

Enjoy the scenic beauty of the Hill Country at "El Castell". Nestled along the banks of the spring-fed Llano River we provide 4 cabins which serves as the perfect get-a-way from the hustle and bustle of city life, or home base to explore the outdoors.

Located across the street from the charming Castell General Store where you can enjoy great beers and one of the best burgers in Texas!

River swims, area hikes, fly fishing, hunting for topaz, llanite, quartz, exploring hill country towns await!

If you are looking for a quiet remote place to get away, this is the place! Bring your bikes, kayaks (or you can rent ours!), fly rods/fishing poles and relax + enjoy. We are located across the street from the Castell General Store so make sure you drop into and get yourself a cold beer and 3/4 lb burger (Best Burger in Texas, promise!). They jokingly call it "Luckenbach by the Llano River" according to an article written by Texas Monthly...so come for a few days or longer and really decompress, relax and breathe in the beautiful Texas Hill Country air or watch shooting stars streak across the sky.

With this booking, you will have access to the entire 3-acre property on the Llano River which includes our beautiful Llano River waterfront - and the privacy therein.

The main 2 cabins, which we call "Main House", are about 75 feet from the riverfront and are connected by a large breezeway deck with each cabin a total of 952 sq. ft. each. These are Cabins C & D.

We also have 2 individual cabins offset out front (closer to the road) that are also completely self-sufficient at 427 sq. ft. each. These are Cabins A & B.

Don't forget to rent Kayaks or Bikes for the entirety of your stay!

    Unbeatable location. River had great glow. All four cabins as described. Breezeway door on cabin C needs attention on the lock. Doesn’t stay latched very well. Appears striker/latch is misaligned or worn out. Also appears you have a large red wasp nest inside the north eave. Thanks for leaving a can of wasp spray. Ice maker in cabin D is very loud and barely makes ice. All ac’s worked well and kept cabins nice and cool. Lot was mowed and looked great. Kitchen well stocked. Family loved the place, just mentioning the few issues so you can address. We hope to return annually.

    This was a great stay for our extended family to unwind and enjoy time on the river. The breezeway table was a really standout for us - every meal was had there. River access on the property was perfect. The town of Castell is very small, so pack all you might need in terms of grocery items.

    Our multi-generational get-together at this property on the lovely Llano River was wonderful. Something for everyone in our group. We enjoyed th scenery, wildlife, swimming and floating/rafting, fishing, photography, and simply relaxing on the shady cool breeze-way! Cabins were well equipped and property had BBQ grills, comfy porch seating, inflatables. Some of our group day- tripped to state parks and Fredericksburg easily. Note: there are steps to access cabins , decks, and a substantial sloap down to the river, which could be a challenge for some guests. Also, the cabins were quite warm upon arrival as the AC is turned off between bookings and it took many hours to cool cabins C and D. It would be great if the owners could arrange for the AC to be on for clients upon arrival during the hottest summer months.

    Cabins were nice. Photos made it appear more secluded but still had privacy. River was a lot of fun for the kids to play in. Only negative thing was son inlaw rented a kayak that had a hole in the bottom. Appeared to have been patched before. Would immediately start taking on water

    We rented all 4 cabins for a family gathering to view eclipse. Best equipped kitchens we've ever had through VRBO!! Host was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. Plenty of wood provided for evening campfires and grilling on oak/mesquite coals was a real treat. Huge covered balconies were a real treat. River front is lovely and several enjoyed some fly fishing. Great for family gatherings in Texas Hill Country!
