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.

Great house, in a fantastic ranch. I loved exploring the area, there are great places and very good restaurants. On hot days, you can swim in the local river or saty at hom to enjoy the cowboy pool. Everything you need, and more is in the house. I will definitely come back

We enjoyed our time at Barndo. It was peaceful and quiet. My boys loved the loft area with the ping pong table. We saw beautiful wildlife - birds, deer and rabbits. The sunrises and sunsets were beautiful. Access to the river was really close, and we spent two days relaxing and playing there as a family.

The Barndo was a perfect place to relax and enjoy the Texas hill country. There was frequent and clear communication leading up to our trip and helpful recommendations were provided. Our family loved exploring the surrounding area, taking a dip in the cowboy pool and stargazing. The house was well stocked with kitchen necessities as well as general supplies and towels for the river. We had plenty of space for our family of 4 plus dog - and would have had room for another family too given there are bunk beds in the loft game room. This was a great location to be away from it all but a trip into town was still convenient.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the BEST weekend getaway here! The secluded barn house was perfect for a peaceful family trip. so much privacy and a beautiful modern design. The game room was a huge hit and gave us plenty to do while relaxing at the house. The host was incredibly respectful and responsive, and went above and beyond by providing helpful details about local restaurants, stores, and things to do ahead of time. Everything was well thought out and made our stay super easy. If you’re looking for a quiet, cozy escape with modern comforts, this is it. We loved it and would definitely book again!

Had a great time reconnecting with family and friends at Michael’s place. Michael was a great communicator from beginning to end. Excellent recommendations were provided of things to do and places to eat. Took advantage of hanging out at the river, just over a mile away (very convenient), as well as relaxing in the Cowboy Pool. We’d highly recommend Michael’s place for the beautiful, private setting that it provides.

This was a perfect escape from the hustle of everyday life, timed beautifully with the new moon. We were lucky enough to see the Milky Way in all its glory! The hosts were incredibly welcoming, and we even got to enjoy an impromptu tour of the property. The Llano River was easily accessible, and the location was remote enough to find a quiet, private spot to soak in the natural beauty. My pup Olly had a blast too, especially chasing grasshoppers in the peaceful evening air.
