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.

Wonderful stay

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.

Comfort in Castell

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 on the Llano

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

Rustic Luxury on the Llano

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!

Always a great time

A group of us comes every year to ride the Castell Grind route and the cabins are always such a great time. Very clean and the well-stocked fire pit is always fun to hang out at!

Great Hill Country spot

Remarkable property with everything you need to stay put for days, but well situated for a hill country base. The layout of the property with so much space, private and communal, made it a great location for 3 families with kids and some extra adults. We'll definitely be coming back.

A great weekend at the river

My family and I enjoyed a fantastic weekend at the cabins. We shared the property with two other families. The cabins comfortably fit all 6 adults and 7 children. The cabins were well equipped with all the supplies we needed. The location on this section of the Llano is great for relaxing, swimming, and fishing. The kids were able to safely play in the river. We caught a number of Guadalupe bass, sunfish, and even a couple of largemouths. The Castell General Store is just across the street and a great place to stop in for a meal after a day on the river. We had one minor water issue (one of the sprinkler pipes was leaking on arrival) and the hosts quickly responded and fixed the problem without disturbing our stay at all. In short, our whole group very much enjoyed our stay and can't wait to book the cabins again next year!

The perfect rustic cycling getaway!

We stayed here for a women's gravel cycling camp and it was perfect! We had all four cabins and it was more than enough space for 12 women and their bikes. The location is so peaceful and has easy access to great gravel roads. We went over to Llano for dinner one night and went to the local haunted house - it was super scary! Highly recommend if you're there around Halloween! Would definitely come back to this hidden gem along the river.

We had a wonderful time swimming in the river and kayaking. The breezeway between the houses was a wonderful stop for us all to gather too.

Found a Gem

Wow! Absolutely amazing property. This is a gem that fit our group needs perfectly. The cabins are ideal for friends and family to have an amazing time to create wonderful memories. From the privacy and remote location we couldn’t ask for anything more. Cabins are clean and offer comfortable beds, cool A/C, functional kitchens and Wi-Fi throughout the property. The outdoor patio for family meals and games was perfect for our group. The direct river access and the ability to see the sunrises, sunsets, moonrise, views of the Milky Way, shooting stars and meteor showers left us all in awe and wanting to stay longer.

Perfect retreat for our hill country holiday!

This was our 2nd time staying at the Castell Cabins! We reserved all four in the main cluster and it was perfect for our multi-family stay. We had a group of 13 ranging in age from 4 months to 77 years. There was something for everyone, including all the comforts of home. The breezeway made for the perfect setting for meals, movie watching, and game playing. One of the best surprises was a nugget ice machine that kept all of our beverages refreshingly chilled! The host is incredibly responsive which means we got all of our questions answered timely (before and during our stay). The house is conveniently located across from the Castell General Store and on a part of the river perfect for sitting or floating. We were also able to take excursions to the bat cave (Eckhart Preserve on the James River), the rodeo (Mason), enchanted rock hike (Fredricksburg), and golf (Llano & Comanche Creek). We will definitely stay here again!
