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.

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!

Nice and Quiet

This is a nice quiet, comfortable place to stay for two or a a small family. The living room has a nice view but the lake is severely low. Need rain!

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!

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

Nice quiet location. House was hot when we arrived and we had issues getting the lock to open. We didn't feel you are given enough time to really enjoy. Check in was 4:00 and out by 10:00 am. Not enough time to enjoy coffee outside. Too expensive to stay 2 nights.

Great weekend getaway

Seahorse Cove was a relaxing place to stay on our weekend. Unlike hotels, there was no one banging around next-door or above you. There were great views of the lake. Although the lake is very low, there was a big field of bloop on it where the water should’ve been, and that was just as pretty. I love the floor in the bathroom! The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and such. We just had to bring our own groceries. The wind was crazy all weekend, but that has nothing to do with the property. We would’ve loved to sit outside by the fire ring, but due to the wind and the burn ban, that was not possible. This would be a great summer vacation by the lake. There are several places to go and do things and places to eat in Burnet and Llano. Communication was quick and easy with the property owner. We saw deer each day. Would definitely go back..

Restored bunkhouse

Very nice. Clean. Easy to find. Beautiful addition and character. Wi-Fi was a bit troublesome but worked. We loved the old original floors and the squeak in the master bedroom. Kitchen was very nice and decorated well. First hot shower had sulfur smell which is not uncommon with electric water heaters and well water that sit sometimes. Subsequent showers it was much better. Would stay there again regardless. Bluebonnets were coming up. Views over the water were amazing. Close to town if needed.

Peace and quiet on Lake Buchanan

We went to Burnet, the self proclaimed Bluebonnet Capital, to to see the flowers. 2024 is a banner year! Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, glasses and cutlery. Knives were sharp enough. There were pots and pans. This was meaningful because it would be a hike to go to town for meals. We cooked dinner and breakfast 2 times each. I did have to rewash glasses. Because there is no dishwasher, you are at the mercy of the previous occupants' skills. Bed was quite comfortable. We appreciated having Direct TV. It is very quiet and we enjoyed two nice sunsets. It would be ideal if the lake was fuller but a drought is in place across the area. Enjoyed watching the deer in the yard in the early morning.

Wonderful getaway

This property is absolutely beautiful. It’s a great peaceful escape from the city while also being close enough to a lot of great things to do in Hill Country. I stayed here by myself as a way to get away. However, I underestimated the “nature” aspect. There were animal footprints throughout the property and late night sounds that had me a little spooked. Also, it was challenging to keep the bugs out. However, I did enjoy my time overall and am grateful for the way they have kept up the property. There was NO issue with the water, as other reviews have mentioned. I would suggest a new set up for the TV cable box as it started to overheat with a warning on the tv that it would shut down after about an hour. I propped it up to get some air underneath which helped. I would recommend a stay here to anyone looking for a nice quaint retreat in the woods with lots of open space to enjoy nature.

So much potential

In many ways Seahorse Cove cabin is lovely. The furnishings are well-considered, the bed very comfortable, and the setting restful and peaceful. There are important improvements that would make this the perfect stay, and the good news is they are all doable. The first is the instructions given for arrival, which said “gate code” and gave other physical descriptions of the entrance. What was confusing was that the gate that matched the description didn’t have a keypad (because “gate code”). As it turned out the code was for a padlock. If that had been included in the instructions, it would have saved us frustration (and driving up and down the country road making sure we didn’t have the address wrong). The other major problem was the strong sulfur smell. Other reviews mentioned it and the owner/management response was that a filter had been installed. While there was a Brita pitcher in the fridge, the smell comes from the hot water. So, every time we washed dishes (dishes had to be hand washed – no big deal except for the smell), washed hands, showered, the whole cabin smelled. I would think a filter on the hot water line could go a long way to solving this problem. There are other little things that would make for a better experience (a listing of local TV stations, clearing out more than one small drawer for guests’ clothes, an ash bucket for the fireplace), but the real problem was that the confusion over arrival and the smell really set the tone for the stay. This listing has a LOT of potential and I hope the owner/management will consider these improvements.

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.
