COZY, RIVER-FRONT CABIN, GATED, PRIVATE, ROMANTIC AND UNIQUE

PENNY RIVER is perched on a bank above the beautiful Colorado River with a million-dollar view of its wildlife and surroundings.. Happy families can be seen below picnicking, camping, fishing and boating. As though the view from the deck weren't special enough, the property is gated, privacy-fenced and located a mere 15-20 minutes average from every main center of north, central and south Austin.

You travel through 1 minute through an old trailer park to get to us, but as one guest recently noted, "Everything on the PENNY RIVER side of the entrance gate is a little paradise." We rigrously sanitize and disinfect the property inside and out. Kids love the 3rd bedroom (bunk bed) we just added and the ability to "camp out" on air mattresses (provided) in our small but cozy living room is welcomed.

Mom and dad get a master bedroom on a beautiful new Tuft N Needle King Size bed, along with their own private bathroom. A combination Guest Room/Study accommodates a single adult who also gets his or her own private bathroom. At the far end of the cabin is the all-new Bunk Room, accommodating a single child or adult, who shares the Guest Bathroom. We get lots of families with kids, so we've added air mattresses and put them in a cedar chest in the living room where the kids can access them and "camp out" at night. It's been a big hit!

KICK BACK...
in PENNY RIVER'S Athens Mountain Pine Cabin. It is super-efficient, comfy and features decor that leans antique. Hit the deck and take in the beautiful Colorado River with all its wildlife and hundreds of songbirds. Moms, pops, kids, seniors, friends, all welcome. Parties are allowed but please advise us at the time of the booking of your plans and the speicfic number of anticipated guests you will invite. and the expected duration of their stay and the duration of the party. . A huge plus at PENNY RIVER is that your cabin is basically 100% private; the owner lives on the property as well, but in a fenced-off, separated area. A reminder safety-wise is that the entire property is gated and fenced (except the side open to the river), adding a major degree of safety for you, your family, possessions and automobiles.

Management patrols the propertyseveral times daily at no extra charge. Night lights feature motion-detection activation. Management does not enter the cabin while rented unless some emergency prevails (issue with water or electricity, etc.)

Nights at Penny River can be nearly magical. An impressive 115' x 30' back yard, plush with St Augustine grass, opens to a huge night sky above. Moonlight lights are especially captivating. Grill on the new Mexican Brick Patio below, which in combination with the deck can handle up to a dozen bodies comfortably. A sliding glass kitchen window allows through-food-service to the deck for convenient serving and quick clean-up.

A traveler's bonus is that you do NOT have to go through Austin to get to PENNY RIVER. For just a few bucks, the 130 Toll Road will deliver travelers from the North and South to an exit mere minutes from the cabin; similarly, the all-new Highway 71 freeway allows East-West arrivals to skirt a bustling Ausin traffic. Both accesses can cut up to 45 minutes from your trip !

If it's a quiet, peaceful, secluded getaway you want, we can say with absolute certainty that you will NOT find anything in all of Austin at any price even remotely like PENNY RIVER. It is positively unique. You'll want to fill your pipe with your favorite tobacco, pop a favorite bottle of wine and never again move from your relazing chair on the deck. Promise. Kick back and drift off into the peace and quiet of our river retreat.

INSIDE THE CABIN:
Every attempt is made to stock the cabin with essentials (paper towels, bathroom tissue, mosquito spray, shampoo, charcoal starter, etc.). Should you throw a party for guests other than those booked, please give us a body county in advance and, most especially, AN AUTOMOBILE COUNT. This is to make sure you can advise guests in advance as to where on the street overflow parking is permitted, avoiding towaway.

If you do decide to explore downtown Austin don't miss beautiful Zilker Park, which abuts an amazing botanical garden. There are hiking trails everywhere. Ask locals what THEY like and don't be afraid to ask them what you'd like to see and explore. Austin is extremely friendly. There are dozens of pamphlets in the Cabin's living room that feature Austin and surrounding-area highlights.

Once again, as we are subject to scheduled and sometimes unscheduled maintenance (lawn mowing, a plumbing problem, an electric failure resulting from a brownout or blackout) we will always attempt to give you as much advanced notice as possible before accessing the general area of your cabin. If we can't reach you, we may need to access your area unannounced. Unscheduled maintenance emergencies may not allow much advanced notice and possibly none. Thank you for understanding. It is your safety and well-being that are front and center.
