Beautiful Zen Cabin in Canyon Lake! Only 5 minutes from the lake and river!

This tranquil, colorful, and artistically designed tiny home is just 4 miles from the famous "Tubing on the Horseshoe" and "Whitewater Amphitheater," and only 2 miles from the Guadalupe River Access Trail! It features a gorgeous deck, as well as a washer, dryer, mini-fridge, a fully equipped kitchen, and a newly installed TV. The sleeping areas include one queen-size mattress in the loft area and one comfortable full-size sofa bed in the living area.

This beautiful Zen Cabin is tucked away at the back of our private 4-acre property and right in the middle of all the action in the Texas Hill Country. We are situated in a quiet and safe residential neighborhood, nestled among the trees and discreetly located off the main road, creating a private and tranquil setting.

You will have your own deck with three rocking chairs and a small, open yard space featuring a dining table, a propane grill with utensils, and parking for up to two vehicles next to your cabin. We have other vacation rental cabins on our property, as well as our private homes, each with its own private area. We ensure that our guests have adequate personal space and privacy to enjoy the peacefulness of this magical property and all the wildlife that comes with it!

We are very close to the Canyon Lake Dam — only a 1-minute drive or a 10-minute walk away. Visitors come from all over to walk, cycle, and run across this 1-mile-long dam. The views are spectacular, and the best swimming spot on the lake is at the far side of the dam! (NOTE: Some closures are in place due to low water levels; please message us for up-to-date information.)

So relaxing!

I needed to get away to do some thinking and planning for next year by myself, it was the perfect combination of silence, deer outside when you wake up, and super comfortable energy in the place

Great weekend getaway

My fiancé and I had such a great time staying here. It was so cozy and warm (it was 50 degrees and windy) and had everything you would need! The property is very easy to find and there’s a beautiful view of the lake that’s walking distance. Would definitely stay here again, 10/10!

Amazing Little Getaway

The cabin is incredibly homey, and with check in/out just using your code to get in the door it's so easy to just get comfortable and settle in! It's so close to the lake, a few trails and some great food! The cats were so friendly and precious, and the loft bed was so fun and comfortable. They provide a fully stocked bathroom (safe toothbrush/paste obviously) and the kitchen ahs all the dish and cook wear you could need! Genuinely so happy to have gone to this cabin with my partner, we really loved it!

Perfect!

Perfect location for our overnight to see Spoon at the Whitewater Amphitheater. We were 12 minutes from the venue & returned after a fun night to this cozy little place, just right for the two of us. My husband sleeps late, so I woke up & had coffee (supplied by our hosts) & read my book in one of the rocking chairs on the patio. We’l definitely stay here again!

PERFECT Canyon Lake area location!

My husband and I stayed in the Zen Cabin overnight after enjoying a Willie Nelson/ZZ Top concert at the Whitewater Amphitheater (the property is approximately 8 minutes from the venue and many of the tubing companies). It would’ve comfortably slept 4 adult people as there is a full sized fold out bed in the living room area. The loft bed is a little bigger and both mattresses are comfortable. Really nice pillows, good water pressure and very good hot water. It is very clean, the amenities are all great for multiple nights if you want to cook. A charcoal grill is also available and it has a really nice patio. The property feels secluded, but it’s easy to find. There is this neat tree loft that provides a great view. This place is a gem of a find! If you’re doing a river float or a concert, BOOK THIS PLACE. There aren’t any unreasonable rules and the owners/permanent property residents are very nice. If you aren’t new to VBRO or AirBnB, you’ll definitely recognize that this place is really quite nice and very fairly priced for this area.

Cute Cabin and Nice Stay

A very cute and clean cottage. A sweet kitty was there to greet us. The only hiccup was being able to unlock door after locking it. We are 60 year old women. We had to go to the owners home to get someone to help us unlock the door. We tried calling owner before 9:00 o'clock and did not answer. The cabin itself is adorable and well stocked with everything one would need.

Wonderfully Quiet

What a fantastic place to stay. Deer seen frequently, lots of butterflies, a wonderful porch with rockers. I didn’t realize that I wasn't directly in the water, but in the long run it didn’t matter, because it was so close to get to. The cabin was just lovely, cool loft to sleep in, though very close to your head if you sit up (thank goodness I’m short, lol). A definite tiny home that is perfect for one or 2. I just loved it and hope to bring my husband here sometime, or come back here for another solo trip. Thanks for such a wonderful, impromptu, solo trip, thanks to Hurricane Ian! I will recommend it to anyone going to Canyon Lake.

We got what we expected! A small tiny house with everything very clean and tidy. Not sure how I didn't catch this but there is no TV so keep that in mind, but it was relaxing, and we enjoyed it. We would book it again!
