Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

Our Hill Country Escape is located in Vasterling Creek Ranch, on a beautiful and private 55 acre lot. You will find us off Ranch Road 152 west of LLano and close to Castell. The high side of the property, where the home sits, has gorgeous hill country views surrounding it. Please remember that you are in the country, so please be aware of your surroundings, as snakes and other wildlife are present. If you'd like to enjoy a walk or jog, we recommend you do so on the main road coming in, which is very rarely used. We are only 3 miles from the famous General Store in Castell, where you can find good people, food and drinks. The frequency of activities happening at the General Store are amazing, so definitely check it out and drop in for a meal, drink or full-on party!

Guest Access

You will have access through a digital door code upon arrival for an easy check-in and check out process. Enjoy the entire home and surrounding 53 acres.

As you head to this region west of the Austin area, we are positioned just far enough to see the landscape change to rising granite and beautiful green mountains. The area is a unique geographical area of granite, called the "LLano Uplift". Our home is a secluded getaway, far enough away for privacy, but close enough to enjoy daytime activities like the LLano River, nearby Wineries, Castel General Store, Burnet, Enchanted Rock, Fredricksburg and much more.. Check out our Guidebook in the app for activity recommendations.

We recently stayed at Michael’s place in Llano, Texas, and it was absolutely perfect for my kids and me. If you’re looking for peace, privacy, and true Texas Hill Country charm, this is it. The property is wonderfully remote — far enough away from everything to truly disconnect, but still comfortable and well-equipped. The quiet mornings and star-filled nights were something special. My kids loved having the space to explore, run around, and just be kids without distractions. It felt safe, peaceful, and exactly what we needed — a reset from the noise and busyness of everyday life. Michael was a great host, easy to communicate with, and made everything seamless. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a private, relaxing getaway in Llan

We had an incredible stay at this barndominium in Llano! The space is beautifully designed, but the kitchen and the fireplace were the absolute highlights for the adults—perfect for cooking big meals and relaxing in the evenings. The kids were entertained the entire time, especially with the ping pong table, which saw a lot of use! It’s a great spot for families looking for that perfect blend of country charm and modern comfort. We would definitely visit again. Highly recommended!

My husband and I visited Michael's Barndominium for our 25th wedding anniversary, and we had such a wonderful visit! The setting is unbelievably serene and beautiful. Classic Hill country views out the front and back of the rental. Seriously, mornings watching sunrise on the back patio with tons of comfortable outdoor furniture, and evenings sitting on the patio on the front of the house with cute rocking chairs. Unbelievable sunsets. We were looking forward to the gorgeous sky with all the stars, but, as luck would have it (and we weren't anticipating this), we were there during the full moon. That was probably better. Full-moon-rising watch-dates from the back porch were the best! The interior of the house has a really nice chill vibe as well. We really enjoyed hanging out, and we spent a lot of time at the rental. Did a little gravel biking, couple hikes, and that was it. No nightlight for us, just the sunsets, the moon, and a few stars– perfect! Definitely would stay here again…

The BrandoBnB was a great, off the beaten path, place to stay while we were showing livestock in Llano. The home was extremely clean and comfortable. Instructions for arrival and departure were clear and easy. Michael was super responsive to questions and offered local recommendations for lunch and dinner as well. Would recommend staying here when coming to town for a totally peaceful experience!
