About this bed and breakfast
Magical Lakefront Retreat property nestled in the hill country, just outside of Austin. It is THE perfect backdrop for a variety of events, including weddings, corporate retreats, yoga retreats, reunions, girl's weekends/ bachelorette parties, & many other special occasions. 7 total accommodations starring a Luxury Straw Bale Villa, 3 Eco-Cabins, a Cottage, and 2 Unique Safari Tents. Stonehouse Winery is across the street & Krause Springs spring-fed swimming hole is a short-drive up the street!
Our main house, 'La Casa de Joy,' is a stunning luxury straw bale that was recently featured on CBS's show "Staycation." This one-of-a-kind home provides the perfect gathering space for any event. It was originally built by an artist & healer and her creative intention palpably felt throughout the entire property.
Our unique and eclectic accommodations include: our Luxury Straw Bale Home “La Casa de Joy,” the Blue Loft Eco-cabin, the Romantic Redroom Eco-cabin, the Bunkroom Eco-cabin, the Cozy Upstairs Cottage, our Firefly Safari Tent, and our minimalist "Love Shack" glamping tent. We can accommodate 22 overnight guests. Personal camping tents may also be added if desired for additional fees. Our property is blessed with an abundance of nature including deer, birds, butterflies, crickets, hummingbirds, & more. The property will feel like your own magical land as you will have private use of the outdoor pavilion, viewing decks, hammocks, several private spots for couples to sit, the floating cabin, fire pit, & the optional ON-SITE kayak, paddleboard, and canoe rentals.
Other local activities such as a wine tasting at Stone House Vineyard (within walking distance), or a swim/picnic at Krause Springs spring-fed swimming hole.

Everything was perfect. Really nice property
5.0
Great for hybrid getaway where you have the overall tranquility and charm of retreat; and at the same time have parts of the property that offer the feeling of camping. The main house and cottages have vintage feel but with all modern day comfort/amenities en suite. The two tented rooms on the property are set closer to the woods and gives more of a camping vibe; they are still fully air-conditioned; bug proofed, full size rooms and comfortable.
We really enjoyed the dynamic nature of the property.

This place was amazing!!!!! It is great for a small get together with family and friends. Family stayed the whole weekend and it was perfect! Everyone had their own “place” and didn’t feel cramped at all. All the accommodations were perfect, cleaned, and way beyond our expectations. We had a small gathering Saturday evening and it was great place for the group to gather and spread out if needed. Honestly worth every penny and would stay here again! 10 out of 10!!

Wow! What a beautiful and serene space! I held my wife's 30th birthday here and it couldn't have been a more perfect space especially in our current covid situation. The pictures don't do this place justice!! (Tho the pictures are very nice!)
Management was amazing to communicate with and they responded to a small incident very quickly! Overall I can't recommend this space and the experience it provides enough! Don't hesitate if you're thinking about booking this one, you won't regret it!

Our extended family stayed here for a week. We brought two boats and a Jetski which we were able to tie up on the floating dock. The property managers were very quick to respond to all maintenance issues and questions. Having the whole property to ourselves made it very peaceful and relaxing for everyone.

Beautiful scenery, eclectic and interesting decor, easy to get to. It's close enough to restaurants/stores/gas to be convenient but far enough away for privacy. The main house is beautifully built and furnished. It has one bedroom upstairs. There is a house next to it with one bedroom upstairs. The downstairs is locked and unavailable. There are other "tiny houses" for individuals or couples or small groups within the main compound. There are a couple of tents for "glamping".
There is a boat launch and a boat dock with a cabin on the dock. There are many stairs and cobble stones so anyone with mobility issues is going to have a hard time.

Lovely property! I stayed in the main house and it was so unique and beautiful! My friend and her husband absolutely loved the firefly tent. The eco homes where some other friends stayed were also very cool and comfy.

We had a 60th birthday celebration. There were places to divide up by family units so that everyone had their own space and the larger house was a great meeting place for all to hang out.

A group of 14 friends stayed here over labor day weekend and had a fantastic time. We all hung out in the main house, but it was great there are separate buildings for everyone to go back to and have their own space. There is a nice yard for us to play games in, and just down the hill is an awesome floating boat dock that we spent all afternoon at. The water temperature was perfect and it was very relaxing. We were able to bring our dogs with us, and they had a good time exploring the property and swimming with us. The host, Todd, was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend or stay here again.
