RiverNook Pet Friendly Zen River Retreat

There's this place that allows you to forget about the world...
Enjoy discounts when booking 3 nights or more!


RiverNook is a pet friendly, zen inspired retreat located on the banks of the beautiful Colorado River in Bastrop Texas. You’ll lose yourself on our shady sculptured grounds, three sitting decks, a lighted fishing deck, a swimming platform, outdoor grilling and dining pavilion and, you’ll love our zenhammocks. You’ll find it hard to believe you’re only 2 miles from downtown Bastrop.

The property is truly Zen Central with access to the river where water activities are popular. You’ll be surrounded by the sounds of the water flowing by and hundreds of bird songs. It is the perfect Zencation spot!


Please Note: While the house is private, grounds may be shared from time to time with guests from our sister property RiversEdge, located on the same grounds. However, the grounds are large with ample patios and spaces for all.
We have a feeling, like so many others over the years, you'll fall in love with RiverNook.

RiverNook is a cozy relaxing garage apartment. It does have a flight of stairs at the entry. The space is 400 square feet with a Queen bed, kitchenette with microwave,coffee maker, toaster oven, dining table and mini fridge. There's even an outdoor grilling and dining pavilion!


A large Smart TV allows you to access your favorite apps and Our High Speed Wi-Fi extends over a good portion of the property for you modern convenience types!

It's a beautiful relaxing setting where you can truly forget about the world.


We love having well behaved pets explore the grounds with their families. We do have a $75.00 per pet per stayfee that helps keep us pet friendly. The maximum number of pets for this property is 3. Emotional Support Animals are not service animals and will be charged the fee.If you did not include and pay for your pets in the reservation, please inform us of the number of pets joining you during your stay, we can bill your card or you can leave it with us before you leave. (Please see house rules for pets)


Whether a romantic getaway or a weekday, week orweekend adventure, we are sure that RiverNook will delight the nature lover inside and rejuvenate your soul!

While a 2-night stay is possible, the vast majority of our guest’s have told us they wished they had booked an additional night. If a 3-night stay is possible, we recommend booking at least 3 days as it is seldom possible to add a night at the last minute.


Should you need to house more guests, you can rent our Main House, RiversEdge located on the same grounds or The RiverHouse and Harmony House which are just down the road, or our Forest Retreat PineyWoods House.


Guest have access to RiverNook, and the features located on the grounds... river access, hammocks, decks, seating areas and chairs.

You may see us while tending the grounds or gardens, just say hi and we'll introduce ourselves. We do give our guests privacy but we love to entertain and chat if you are so inclined.


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.


We ask that you read all House Rules & Policies including the additional House Rules section prior to booking. Upon booking, you are stating that you understand them and agree to follow and abide by them.



We strongly advise trip insurance to cover your booking and will provide any documentation you may need to facilitate your claim. Our cancelation policy will be adhered to at all times during your reservation. We do not refund reservations outside of our cancelation policy. Unlike hotels who typically overbook reservations, we do not have that option. We have blocked off the property from all advertising once you booked it and typically have a hard time re-booking on short notice. If you do cancel outside of our policy, we will do our best to rebook the property and will send you any funds we collect to offset your losses. These funds may be less than you originally paid.


As mentioned above, while the house is private, grounds may be shared from time to time with guests from our sister property RiversEdge, located on the same grounds. However, the grounds are large with ample patios and spaces for all.

Great weekend getaway!
We absolutely loved this little above-garage apartment for our weekend getaway in Bastrop! Check-in was super easy and we took full advantage of all the restaurant and activity recommendations from the host. We brought our dogs and they loved exploring the property with us and sitting out on the patio watching the sunset. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an easy-going weekend away!

Very Zen
The place was very clean. The decorations were very nice. The place lives up to the name Zen Retreat. If you are looking to get away from it all this is the place to go. Very peaceful. Would definitely stay here again.

At the Hide Away
My wife and I really enjoyed out stay. I think it would have been even better if we had been there during Spring or early Fall. The room was cozy for the two of us and we particularly liked the location. I think some may not, but we liked it being out-of-the way and a little secluded. Kind of felt like we would be coming home after a day out. I definitely recommend this place for a relaxing, low key vacation.
