RiversEdge Pet Friendly Zen River Retreat...

There's this place where you can forget about the world... Enjoy river views, wildlife, gorgeous sunrises & starry nights at RiversEdge. A 4BR that sits on a calm stretch of the Colorado River, just 2 miles from historic downtown Bastrop. This pet‑friendly home sleeps 8 and features multiple patios, a shaded fishing dock, fire pit and an outdoor dining pavilion.

Book 3+ nights to enjoy built‑in multi‑night discounts and give yourself time to truly unwind.”

The space
A Riverfront “Zencation” experience awaits you!

RiversEdge is a zen‑inspired, pet‑friendly 4BR/2BA home on a peaceful stretch of the Colorado River, just 2 miles from downtown Bastrop and 30+ miles from Austin. Spend your days swimming, fishing, tubing or kayaking from the riverbank, then unwind in hammocks, around the fire pit, or in the sunroom watching the water and wildlife. This is a true nature sanctuary: you’ll hear birds, see stars, and feel far from the city while still being close to restaurants, shops, and two beautiful state parks.”

Pets
“We love hosting well‑behaved pets and know they’re part of the family. Up to 4 pets are welcome with a $75 per pet, per stay fee, which helps us keep the home and grounds pet‑friendly for everyone. VRBO does not collect this fee. You can leave it on the counter at check out or, we can bill your card on file. Please let us know the number of pets when you book. Emotional support animals are not service animals under ADA and will be charged the pet fee. See House Rules for full pet guidelines.”


Nature & expectations
“This is a riverfront nature sanctuary, not the sterile 20th floor of a high‑rise. You may occasionally see harmless dirt daubers, lizards, spider webs, wasps, leaves on outdoor furniture, or other signs of nature, especially when outdoors. We clean and wipe surfaces regularly, but nature changes daily—if you see a bit of the outdoors on a chair or hammock, just brush it off with one of our pet towels, take a breath, and enjoy this peaceful, natural setting.”

Neighborhood & nearby
Quiet, eclectic neighborhood along the Colorado River

About 2 miles to historic downtown Bastrop’s restaurants, shops, and beautiful architecture

Approx. 5 miles to Bastrop State Park and 8 miles to Buescher State Park for hiking and bird‑watching

About 33 miles to Austin for events, dining, and nightlife

Guest access
You’ll have access to the house, driveway, and grounds. The grounds are large and may occasionally be shared with guests from our sister property, RiverNook, located on the same grounds, but there are multiple patios and quiet corners for everyone to enjoy or, you can rent both and be totally private if you desire.

If you need to sleep a couple more guests, you can inquire about booking The RiverHouse, or Harmony House nearby (subject to availability).”

Other things to note
The occupancy listed is the max occupancy this property can accommodate. If you intend to host any event, celebration or other function, you will need to disclose this to us in advance and obtain approval, including an agreement to all additional fees and terms.

House rules, stays, and insurance

Most guests tell us they wish they’d stayed one more night, so if you can, we recommend booking at least 3 nights. We offer discounts starting at 3‑night stays which are automatically calculated.

We look forward to sharing our property with you, Hope to see you soon!

We stayed for a few days to visit family. This place was a perfect spot to relax with my family and even more perfect to bring the extended family to enjoy the property. The host was easy to communicate with and understanding when we had dinner at property. He made it an amazing experience!

Great place to play by river

We had a great time here! Everything was easy to find and the instructions were clear. We went kayaking on the river one afternoon and had a blast, then also just swung on the rope swing and enjoyed the hammocks. It’s close enough to town that we were able to go in for dinner if we wanted, but we also cooked several meals at the house. We loved the sunroom in the back! Our dog had a grand time as well, running all over the property and exploring the river’s edge. Thanks for a great family vacation!

Wonderful Anniversary Weekend

This property is lovely and beautifully maintained. It was rainy and drizzling for part of our trip and we truly enjoyed sitting in the comfy chairs on the Sunporch while watching the river and the rain. The house is very comfortable and furnished nicely. The kitchen is well equipped, the internet worked great, and Andy provided fishing gear for the docks. Also, it's a short, quick trip to town and we found Great Restaurants. What more could you ask for?

Great Place for family!

We had a wonderful time at the river for a short spring break trip! This house is just beautiful and the grounds are gorgeous. The only slight negative were the dirty windows. We own a window cleaning company so I’m a little picky 😆! I was super excited to sit on the deck and enjoy my coffee while looking out the beautiful covered patio! We really loved this time with our family and friends! Oh, the beds were SUPER comfortable!

Wonderful Place

We had such an amazing time at zen river house!! Andy was such a great host and the house was perfect! The weather was rainy on the first 2 days but the house was big and spacious and yet still cozy to feel comfortable inside for most of the day. He had so many board games to pass the time and a great big dining table and big open kitchen that we were all able to talk and play and hang out while cooking and relaxing. The beds were wonderful and there was so much room! The sunroom was so pretty esp while it was raining to still be able to look out and enjoy the beautiful view of the river. The last day we were there was a beautiful day and Andy gave us directions and recommended a wonderful hiking trail in Bastrop forest. We had a great time and will definitely be back again! We highly recommend this beautiful place! Thanks again Andy

Serenity!!

The place was extremely clean and welcoming. The master bath was great with a rain shower head, bench and second shower head. The kitchen and living room are very large. Really enjoyed the back porch as well as eating outdoors under covered patio (fan out there was great with the humidity!) The backyard had a butterfly garden, several chimes & sitting areas. Sooo peaceful & quiet! We enjoyed the hammocks. Didn’t get a chance to use the kayaks. I think getting into the water with the kayaks at the waters edge might be tricky for some. Owner offers numerous excursions so there may be another area that’s easier to enter the water. Entertained by the billy goats across the street!
