Colorado River Cabin ~ San Saba/Bend~ pool & sauna near Colorado Bend State Park

Welcome to our Log Cabin with a private pool and riverfront! We purchased this home in 2024 after searching for a quick getaway for our family. This 2500 square foot cabin has 4 bedrooms with 2 full baths and 2 powder rooms in the main house. This unique log cabin has an interesting layout with the master bedroom downstairs that you can enter through either the door next to the foyer or through the family room with a Queen size bed, private bathroom and walk in closet. Main floor has a large living room, dining room with seating for up to 8, family room with wood burning fireplace, Samsung Smart TV, and Vintage Mario Arcade game. Two powder rooms are downstairs under the staircase and in the utility room. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, utensils, blender, waffle maker, two toasters, two coffee makers, coffee grinder, double ovens, microwave, fridge and a crockpot all ready for you to just bring food and your favorite beverages. Utility room has a washer, dryer and sink for soaking clothes. Upstairs you will find a full bathroom at the top of the stairs with a large soaking tub. To the left of the stairs bedroom 2 has one queen size bed, window seat and walk-in closet. To the right of the stairs is bedroom 3 and has one full size bed and a twin trundle bed. Keep walking through bedroom 3 to reach the very large bedroom 4 bunk room. This room is great for sleeping lots of people. It has 2 full over full bunk beds and a separate twin bed. The spacious covered back porch has new oversized patio furniture, ceiling fans and views of the pool, large Pecan trees and Colorado River. New Ping pong table has been set up on the back porch.

Next to the main house is a casita that has a full bathroom and plenty of space for exercising. Brand new three person sauna has been installed.

Our cabin 16 miles to San Saba, 9 miles to Colorado Bend State Park, 8.2 miles to Fiesta Winery, and 3 miles to always fun Bend General Store where you can see live music and eat from their wide assortment menu.

If you are looking for a large home in the country to escape the city and reconnect with family, this is a perfect place for you.

Spacious family-friendly house

Conveniently located near Colorado Bend State Park on the Colorado River, this house easily acommodated our two families with room to spare. The only drawback was staying in February when it was too cold for the pool. Guess we'll have to plan a return trip...

Family Fun

We really enjoyed our stay at the house. Everything was so nice and clean. We especially enjoyed the pool in the backyard. We were hoping to kayak the Colorado River but it was pretty low. So most of the time was spent at the house just enjoying our family and relaxing. Will definitely stay again.

Great Time in San Saba

We enjoyed our family gathering so much! The cabin is well stocked with everything you need. Beds were super comfortable. Great rental for large families. Plenty of room to roam. It rained, so we didn't get to use the pool much, but really enjoyed the hot sauna. We also enjoyed an evening at The Bend General Store for fantastic burgers and live music. We will definitely be back for another stay soon!

Perfect for our group

Accommodations were excellent. We brought a small group of kids and leaders from our church. The kitchen was well equipped for meals and the pool was very refreshing with our extra heated summer :-) Our group really enjoyed the ping pong and the corn hole. Everything was clean and very comfortable. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Great cabin retreat!

Great place to stay, with lots of activities to do. Cabin was well kept and plenty of bed. Pool was way over chlorinated, with a tab still in it. Seemed like someone was just tossing in chlorine “just in case” and didn’t test the water and add the appropriate amount. Unfortunate there’s only two full bedrooms with one master shared sleeping room. Great for family and kids, not as good with 11 adults.

Colorado River Cabin near Colorado Bend

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cabin! It was close to Colorado Bend, right next to the river, very clean, with more than enough room for our family of 6, had a well stocked kitchen, toys for the kids, high chair for our toddler, with the added bonus of a pool and sauna! We’re nature lovers, so we enjoyed having multiple sightings of a barred owl nesting nearby. Apart from the cabin itself, it was a pleasure working with the owner. They were very responsive, helpful and flexible. I would highly recommend this place for a home away from home when visiting this area.

Birthday Trip

We took this trip to celebrate my oldest son's birthday. The property was spacious and clean. Check in was simple. Everything we needed was available just as stated on the website. The host was prompt in handling the concern we had with the pool. When I called the first day about cleaning the pool, an individual came right over to clean it. We were not able to enjoy the pool as much as I would have liked since it was very difficult to keep clean as there were so many caterpillars falling from the tree into the pool. Luckily we spent most of the daytime going to the nearby state parks. I called again on our final day and again an individual came promptly to clean the pool. My family was able to enjoy the pool for a few hours as I spent my time skimming out the caterpillars so my grandsons could enjoy the pool at least one day. I don't blame the host for this. This property is really getting back to nature so you take the good with the bad. Overall it was a great family trip. All thanks to the host and her helpers for doing their best to make our trip enjoyable.

Disappointing Stay Despite Good Setup

The property has potential as a relaxing weekend spot with a pool, but several issues made our stay underwhelming:1. One of only two shower bathrooms had no lock and low water pressure on shower head — a major inconvenience, especially with kids in the group.2. The pool was dirty on arrival and required an hour long personal cleaning session to remove all the fallen leaves despite repeated requests.3. The outdoor gas grill didn’t work properly, ruining our planned evening cookout. The flames were working but the temperature never rose above 200F.4. The riverside ledge felt unsafe, so we dropped our fishing plans.5. Kitchen pans were old and sticky, and basic items like aluminum foil were missing.Overall, the experience didn’t match the price paid. Some basic maintenance/quality-check and attention to detail would have gone a long way. To give credit where due - Jamie (the host) was promptly responding to my questions before and during the stay.

Great Place

This is the third time we have stayed at the house and it has always been great. Everything you need is there. Very comfortable beds and kitchen has everything, you just have to look and find it. If there is a negative it would be bathroom upstairs. You can sleep 8 or 10 people upstairs with just one shower and bathroom on 2nd floor. But we shared the master shower on first floor and some guest went to sauna bathroom to shower. GREAT TIME !!!!

This is our second time to stay at the Bend cabin. We're already looking at the calendar to see when we can go back. Last visit, we utilized the hot sauna and this time we lived in the pool. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need. The beds are so comfortable! Always fun to take a trip to the Bend store for burgers and live music. We can't wait to come visit again!

Colorado River House Adventure

The Log Cabin House was just as described. Nice house. We especially enjoyed the pool and fishing off the platform on the river. We went to San Saba for 4th of July Fireworks. The fireworks show was great. On Saturday, there was a big party (15+ vehicles) at a house toward the West. They started the day (10:30 AM) by shooting firearms into the river. Then shot fireworks late into the night (10 pm to Midnight). Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but probably would avoid staying around the 4th of July Weekend in the future.

Great family getaway home

Very nice home. We really enjoyed the pool, the ping pong table, the arcade game and the spacious, cool house. It easily accommodated our full family (14+) and did not feel cramped. It is quite close to Colorado Bend state park. Our hike to Gorman Falls was fun, as was getting back to the nice cold house and pool after the hot hike. Neighbors" houses on the sides were a bit close, but the deep lot backing up to the river and strategic placement of the casita helps it feel more secluded. The property has tons of amenities that meet almost all of our wishes, including a nice waffle maker and a sauna. The kitchen had everything we needed.
