Absolutely beautiful spot on the lake. Cute little stay for 2. The only complaint I have is the code given via email to enter the house was not correct. We had to call for a proper one. As well as, their were spider webs all throughout the house and sticky pest traps throughout the place. One had a dead mouse stuck to it, which stunk behind the tv stand. I understand the need for pest control but theses should be more discrete and changed before guest arrive.

Nice getaway.

The Seahorse Cove cabin was all I anticipated and more. I booked this home for a weekend trip while visiting the cavern at Longhorn Cavern State Park. I also rented Kayaks from Vanishing Sunset Cruises. I had a great experience with both companies.

Quick weekend get away

We loved everything about the cabin and property! It was fully furnished with all we needed. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of space in the cabin and outside the cabin. The best part was the waterfront lake access! Amazing sunsets and wild life views! Also very quiet and secluded. Perfect couples or families! We will be back again!

10 Year anniversary

Beautiful, cottage is what pictures betray, the lakefront view from cottage was incredible, wild life was apparent wish there was deer feed. Cookware spices abundant, but if you like cooking with non stick, bring your own. :), Bed was very comfortable, love the nice touch to restroom floor (add on). We are looking forward to return later in the fall to hopefully enjoy dock and or beach area. (only setback- a couple weeks of the terrible floods in the Texas Hill Co. the fishing dock and boat ramp- not sure if flood took that away. there was no beach access. the drive in the road leading to cottage was flooded, did not want to take a chance to go through that.) There was a empty cabin in the middle of the lake would love to know the story behind that. Not sure if that was part of flooding. A lot of debris around surrounding lake but not at Seahorse Cove. Not sure if the property next to it is a rental.

Great location for a getaway!!

This home/cabin is understated. The view and amenities are very nice. The property and water view really add to the appreciation of this home. Our only regret is it staying longer.

10 Year AnniversaryWonderful, beautiful, Pictures description very accurate. We went a couple weeks after the terrible Texas Hill Co. Flooding, the road leading to cottage was flooded, we did not want to chance the depth of it. went off road to reach Cabin, Not sure if the flooding washed out fishing dock and beach access. No bebree on shore line of property, the lake view was spot on gorgeous. There is a empty empty cabin in middle of lake would love to hear the story behind. The wild life was very apparent, only wish we would of brought Deer feed. Cooking - If you like non tack pans, bring your own, spices was provided, Bed was comfy, nice touch to bathroom add on floor. The only thing was ALOT of cob webs around all window and doors. There is 2 window around bed that I used the vacuumed that was provided at cabin. Such a beautiful view from cottage windows had a lot of bug smudges. My husband and I would Love to return to take advantage of beach and dock access. Strongly recommend this beauty.

This place was awsome!

We had the most relaxing and wonderful getaway. The rustic charm was just what we needed. we saw a beautiful sunset, a deer and a fox. It was quiet and peaceful. It did have cobwebs behind curtains and doors and in the windows but, even that just endeared us more to the rustic charm. Can’t wait to go again! I highly recommend it!

We enjoyed the place. Views were great!!! Outdoor area was wonderful. We saw white pelicans, all kinds of ducks, robins, cormorants, and a lot of deer. We needed better directions to find the gate in the almost dark.

A breath of fresh air

My husband and I wanted a mini getaway and so we went to Burnet to this hideaway that took me back to country living, the place was very homey clean and the bed super comfortable. My husband loved the lake views. As we sat outside there was nice breezes and no humidity ...we fished and enjoyed spending interrupted time is this beautiful home and space. We will be returning

Great Lake cabin!

The cabin was exactly as advertised. Nice sitting room. We had trouble with the entry code to the door and called guest services. We received help immediately. We would definitely rent again.
