Waterfront Smithville River House

This cozy little cabin located on the banks of the beautiful Colorado River is perfect for a quiet and relaxing getaway. The cabin is a fully furnished two-story that sleeps up to 6. We have a queen-size sleeper sofa downstairs, one full and one queen upstairs and one bathroom. This is the perfect property for those who enjoy the peaceful quiet of the river and the beauty of small towns. Enjoy the view of the river from the back porch, fish for bass/perch/catfish, or launch a boat from the nearby boat ramp. Enjoy the town of Smithville by walking the adorable downtown with its shops and restaurants or take a short drive to Bastrop or Austin.

Lovely home with a few bits that could be improved
Great location. Beautiful riverfront. A new shower curtain rod would be a simple fix. Would suggest a full length mirror, and wifi access. Thank you for having us!!

Nice little house!
Audrea's a great host and raced over late at night to fix a faulty smoke alarm. I'd wished we had water access, but the view was really lovely. Cute house! Very easy to get to town for food, errands.

Great Weekend Getaway
What an awesome little hidden gem! The cabin was the perfect spot for a weekend away from the city. It was clean and well-appointed both inside and out. The private access to the river was unbeatable for relaxing down by the water. Audrea was a great host and very accommodating throughout our stay. We would definitely return.

Clean and comfortable
We enjoyed the property. It was clean and comfortable. The only complaint is that the bedroom was upstairs and it was a challenge for us to climb the spiral staircase. Otherwise it was as advertised and the bow of the river was perfect.

Cute little house for getaway
This cute little A-frame house is good for a space to unplug and relax. Second floor did get warm since heat rises but they had a floor fan available and we opened the window to help regulate the temp. Being able to sit outside on the porch and enjoy the river was a big plus. We did some fishing but didn’t get anything, still want nice to relax. House has all that is needed from pots, utensils, towels and bedding.

Basic cottage on river
Very clean. Spacious living room area and bathroom. Kitchen small and basic, no dishwasher, ice maker or ice trays. Be prepared to bring your own. Spiral stairs to beds upstairs. Did not attempt to get suitcases up stairs. If anyone has mobility issues may be difficult as front steps steep and no rails. Very quite with large deck in back. Great place for morning coffee. No Wi-fi.

The best little/big place to stay!!
For us (4) adults, This was the perfect place, location, and proximity to water. We could not have been any happier than staying at this place. Neighbors were respectful and considerate of our stay. The owner promptly responded to a question that I had. If the property owner will have us again, we plan on coming back late October or early November. And hopefully many times after that! This is in our opinion of five star place.

The home is clean and nicely furnished. Only caution is the ladder. It’s a bit difficult to traverse
Wonderful time! Sitting on the deck watching the river was beautiful!
