We were thoroughly pleased with the well maintained property and our stay! Perfect size for 2 people. Secluded. Lots of bird activity. There were 2 bird food feeders and we brought our own hummingbird feeder. The cabana area down by the creek is awesome! There are even a couple of walking sticks hanging by the door which were handy to have. Harriet was quick to respond to any questions we had and her directions to the cabin were spot on! The propane grill was nice and great not to have to mess w/ charcoal or wood! We hope to get back in the autumn for a different set of birds!

Perfect getaway

My wife and I throughly enjoyed our weekend getaway. The house is comfortable and well maintained and has all the essentials. We enjoyed wading and swimming in the creek. We played pool for the first time in years. Grilled steaks and relaxed. Communication was great, the property was exactly as described. Being a few miles from one of my favorite state parks is also a big plus - got to do some hiking at Pedernales. My only complaint is we ran out of time :)

Absolutely perfect romantic nature getaway

The property was exactly as listed. We have stayed in a lot of different rentals and this by far felt the most like home. The attention to details like spices, yeti cups to use, condiments in the fridge all really added up. The real show stopper is the property. Overlooking a gorgeous creek with cliff swallows aplenty and crystal clear water with all sorts of activities provided like kayaks, floats and a canoe. The view of the dark sky is also note worthy. Even with it being 2 days til a full moon

Great Night Sleep and Fun All Day

We had a great vacation with our dogs at this property. They played in the creek and were exhausted every night (so were we). The communication on the property, checking-in and out was fabulous. The bed was really comfortable. We ate most meals at the house, and everything we could possibly need was there. Only one FYI, which had NOTHING to do with the owners, we couldn't enjoy the deck at night very much because we were swarmed by bugs. There were citronella candles, but I think bugs just laugh at those. That's just life in the hill country, not a negative just an FYI. We had a great long weekend.

Property was wonderful. It was very well equipped. We cooked every night there and the kitchen had everything we needed. We loved the big fireplace and the outdoor decks. The views were incredible especially at night. The creek exceeded our expectations. We really enjoyed peacefully canoeing up the creek and even caught a small bass. The host communicated with us throughout our stay and made sure we had everything we needed. We are looking to come back and stay a little longer.

Hidden Gem

The pictures on the website don't do this place justice. The cabin was roomy, cozy, and had excellent amenities. Go when it's cool so you can use the fireplace! The porch and deck give you amazing views of the creek and forest. The night sky was amazing. Harriet is by far the best host you will ever encounter. She answered every question and went above and beyond. We hope to return in the spring so we can enjoy the creek.

Paradise in Madrone Canyon

Beautiful property nestled in one of prettiest spots in the hill country, Madrone Canyon. We had drawn a State hunt in Pedernales Falls SP and needed a place to stay while there. Fiddlers Creekside has beautiful views, calm clear water and cool breeze with no other sound than the birds. This was the cherry on top to my hunt at Pedernales Falls SP. Very relaxing and the amenities of home. Did I mention the Host is wonderful? Harriet was always in touch and wonderful to chat with. I cannot wait to return. You will not regret booking this lovely place. I just hope its available when I want to return.

Peaceful getaway

Where do I begin? My husband and I and the dogs Joey and Sammie enjoyed the house and property so much! We loved the creek and the canoe so much we took it out everyday and loved what we call the aquarium. We saw so many fish through the clear water. We played pool every night and threw darts in the game room. The house was so clean and well equipped with everything you need to feel at home. We used the gas grill and made the best steaks and my husband loved the BBQ tools to make the job easy. We sat on the rockers outside and felt like we were in our own private wilderness. The birds entertained us everyday while they fed from the feeders just in front of us. Harriet you have a beautiful home which we enjoyed and needed so much! You are such a great host and made us feel so welcome. We slept like babies in the king size bed and loved that you had all the amenities to shower and get ready for our new adventures for the day. I could go on and on about Fiddlers Creek and will definitely be coming back to that little slice of heaven. One more note wear good hiking shoes and be prepared for a great adventure.

Clean and Peaceful

Harriett was always so quick to reply to my messages. The cabin was tucked away in a gated community and it was very peaceful and very clean. The cabin had everything we needed. I brought extra cooking supplies but didn't even need it. However, we felt like the game room had been a little neglected and could use a little updating. Our two golden doodles loved the creek and the canoe rides. We went mainly to do the wine trail and we were about 45 minutes from all the wineries. We were far enough from the busyness but close enough to enjoy the wineries. Thank you Harriett!

This place is a blessing!

This was our second trip to Fiddlers Creekside, and it was just as amazing as the first, but even better, as our first trip was 7 yrs ago, during a severe drought. The beauty is hard to describe, the place is the cleanest I've ever been to(I literally couldn't find a spec of dust in the house) and all the extras that Harriett provides makes the place feel like home. We had a perfect mixture of thunderstorms, rain showers, and sunshine, so we were able to enjoy hearing rain from the porch, fishing during some beautiful showers, playing pool through thunderstorms, canoeing the creek, sunbathing in the afternoons, and stargazing at night. To say the least it was perfection, and we can't thank our host enough for sharing this incredible place with us and our fur-babies! sunshine to make our stay the phome

Nice Quiet Cabin - Beautiful Creek

We will definitely return! Absolutely perfect close-by getaway for long weekend. The cabin was clean and well provisioned. Owner is kind, very responsive & helpful, while respectful of our privacy. Access to the Creek is a little challenging, but 100% worth the effort. During our stay, the Creek was magnificent. One of the best stretches of crystal clear water that we have ever seen. Very private. Other than 1 afternoon when the friendly neighbors across the Creek were swimming, we didn’t see another soul. Perfect!

Spacious secluded cabin with beautiful views

Everything is absolutely perfect at this cabin overlooking the crystal clear creek in the rugged Texas Hill Country. The hostess makes everything comfortable and nothing is missed: ice and water is provided, plus plenty of spices and basics for food prep. The decor is delightful with interesting antiques, ceramics, and natural woods. Very comfortable king sized bed in bedroom with huge closet containing games and books. Loved looking out the front window during meals and relaxing in the comfortable living room and front porch rockers. The creek was quite delightful for canoeing and watching the small fish through the clear water and other wildlife. The neighborhood has a secured front gate which is a huge plus. There are very few homes in the area and we never saw anyone, so it felt like your own private getaway! If you enjoy going to wineries and breweries, there are many nearby, and Pedernales Falls State Park is beautiful and minutes away. The towns of Johnson City and Dripping Springs are twenty minutes away, and there are plenty of places to eat and grocery shop, etc. Austin's pretty close too if you want to see the city. But we came for the peace and quiet in a natural setting and it fit the bill perfectly.
