It is secluded from the city for peace and quiet, yet this beautiful home is still close to shopping, vineyards, water sports, golf and great local restaurants. The Spicewood Creek House is all about relaxing, whether it is on the deep wrap around porch or in the hammock, or swimming* in the sparkling water below in the deep creek fed swimming hole, there is something for everyone. (*please note: seasonally the water in the creek can be lower if it is a drier time of year. We cannot predict this.)
***The swimming hole is for our community/neighborhood!***

Here you can gaze at the numerous constellations. There are horseshoes to play, badminton and volleyball, as well as darts and ping pong and skittles, a fast paced game of pins and tops. Our guests are welcome to fish(catch and release only) in the deep pool in front of house only, not in the creek on either the right or left side of the deep pool.

There is a rock patio above that has a table set for those who wish to picnic outdoors and a hammock hanging from a tree that calls for a good book to read.

There are so many places and ways to relax. Your hardest decision will be where and what!

Things to do in the area:

Located in the Texas Hill Country which is the home of favorite and country music legend Willie Nelson. Spicewood has a charm all its own. Fantastic barbecue, rolling hills, fabulous vineyards, and incredible views make this day trip really memorable. You’ll feel miles away from the city while still satisfying that need for novelty.

Milton Reimers Ranch Park is close by and has Mountain Climbing, Hiking and Mountain Biking Trails. Swim in the Pedernales River! The hike from the parking lot to the river is approximately 0.25 miles down a steep grade.

You can also explore the Texas Skies at the Reimers Observatory is an astronomical observatory located inside Reimers Ranch Park. Reservations for observatory programs are required to be in the park after dark. The road to the Beach. Keep in mind that you will need to be prepared to pay your entry fee by cash, no credit cards are accepted.

Muleshoe Bend Recreation Area -Enjoy Rolling fields of bluebonnets pop up in the spring, an awesome sight to behold. During the 'non-wildflower season', come here to hike the trails, enjoy the green fields, and dip your toes in the water.

Krause Springs is definitely a top five natural water destination in the area. There are jump off points, a rope swing, waterfalls, and a hidden grotto spread among the 32 springs and the man made natural pool. Plan to spend the day here hiking around or sunbathing on the giant rocks.

Cypress Valley Canopy Tour, five ziplines that take you through a wild ride from platform to platform. After your tour, you can take a dip in their small private lake and have a picnic.

Don’t forget go to Spicewood without stopping into Poodie’s Hilltop Bar & Grill. This legendary venue is the watering hole for all kinds of famous Texans, likely because the original owner, Poodie Locke, was Willie Nelson’s stage manager.

Willie Nelson’s Pedernales Cut-N-Putt is exactly the opposite of that country club scene. It’s golf, the Willie Way and that means fun.

Iron Wolf Ranch and Distillery is a family-owned and family friendly with games and a playground for kiddos spread out on 15 acres of land, with entertainment every Saturday.

Spicewood Vineyards. Family-owned, the vineyards are gorgeous and their tasting space feels like you’re hanging out in a friend’s home. On the 'Friday Night Wine Down' on the 1st Friday of the month, and other casual gatherings that bring wine together with that Texas life.

8 of us stayed for my husband’s 50th birthday. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. Our goal for the weekend was to Chill - the wrap around porch and multiple seating areas were perfect. We visited Iron Wolf Distillery and heard a great band and then went to Sorellina Pizzaria for dinner (it was phenomenal). Would definitely stay again. The property itself is also gorgeous! We wished the water in the spring had been flowing, it was still, so we opted not to swim.

The home and property are beautiful and very well maintained. We spent most our time on the back porch. Great time catching up with the cousins at a beautiful home!

The house was beautiful and perfect for our group. It was so cozy and comfortable and was spotless. There was plenty of room to gather indoors, but we spent most of our time sitting on the porches, around the fire pit, and especially down by the creek. I wish we had more time to enjoy the other areas like the swing and the hammock, but we spent most of our time hiking during the day (highly recommend Milton Reimers Ranch Park nearby). But the thing that makes this house really special is the beautiful setting. The rock formation and beautiful clear creek right behind the house felt like a destination in itself. It was really magical to see it, and the pictures don’t do it justice. We truly loved this place and would definitely stay there again.

This was our second stay at Carol's house in Spicewood. The house had plenty of room for our group of six to relax and unwind, both in the house and on the great wraparound covered porch area. It was a good location for day trips to Fredericksburg, Marble Falls, Gruene & more. Our only difficulty was the road leading to the house was fairly washed out and tricky to maneuver, but this was outside the owner's control. She was very quick to respond and send maintenance for issues she could address. We were very happy with our stay here.
