Featuring a 2400 sq ft, fully remodeled open concept mid-century 4 bedroom 2 bath house which sleeps 8, has an outdoor grilling and dining pavilion and walk to river access. There’s even an air-conditioned sunroom, which overlooks the river and grounds.

While the house is private, grounds may be shared from time to time with guests from our sister property RiverNook, located on the same grounds. However, the grounds are large with ample patios and spaces for all.
The property is truly Zen Central with access to the river where water activities, swimming, fishing, tubing and kayaking are popular. It is the perfect Zencation spot! We do not provide kayaks or canoes however you can bring your own! We are also just minutes away from two incredible State Parks with awesome hiking and bird viewing!
We love having well behaved pets explore the grounds with their families. We do have a $75.00 per pet per stay fee that helps keep us pet friendly. The maximum number of pets for this property is 4. 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.

Spacious home on the river complete with kayaks to take you away - It is well-equipped with everything you need to enjoy your visit with family and friends. Minutes to charming historic downtown Bastrop -
We very much enjoyed our time at Riversedge. Just a small issue with the tv remote when we arrived but Andy was very responsive and addressed the problem quickly. Truly a great time.
We stayed for a few days to visit family. This place was a perfect spot to relax with my family and even more perfect to bring the extended family to enjoy the property. The host was easy to communicate with and understanding when we had dinner at property. He made it an amazing experience!
Andy's home on the Colorado River is just perfect! We enjoyed a float down the river on tubes we rented from Andy, swimming in the river and kayaking on the Colorado River.
The house had everything we needed and Andy was very responsive. We highly recommend staying here.
This property is lovely and beautifully maintained. It was rainy and drizzling for part of our trip and we truly enjoyed sitting in the comfy chairs on the Sunporch while watching the river and the rain. The house is very comfortable and furnished nicely. The kitchen is well equipped, the internet worked great, and Andy provided fishing gear for the docks. Also, it's a short, quick trip to town and we found Great Restaurants. What more could you ask for?
We had a great time here! Everything was easy to find and the instructions were clear. We went kayaking on the river one afternoon and had a blast, then also just swung on the rope swing and enjoyed the hammocks. It’s close enough to town that we were able to go in for dinner if we wanted, but we also cooked several meals at the house. We loved the sunroom in the back! Our dog had a grand time as well, running all over the property and exploring the river’s edge. Thanks for a great family vacation!
We wanted a place on the river for the kids to fish and with beds for everyone that was also dog friendly. This place was great. It even came with 4 kayaks which the kids loved. We would definitely stay here again.
We had one of the best weekends with my family. Property was simply perfect. If anyone has thought about getting out of town for a weekend, this is your go to spot.
We had a wonderful time at the river for a short spring break trip! This house is just beautiful and the grounds are gorgeous. The only slight negative were the dirty windows. We own a window cleaning company so I’m a little picky 😆! I was super excited to sit on the deck and enjoy my coffee while looking out the beautiful covered patio!
We really loved this time with our family and friends! Oh, the beds were SUPER comfortable!
Spent an extended weekend at Andy's riverhouse. The place was very clean, very spacious and the views were amazing. I highly recommend taking in a view of the sunrise from the sun porch or even the back yard (sun rises from the left). There was plenty of room for the five of us. We got to meet Andy several times, and he was an amazing host who was always available to tell us about the property, things to do along the river and in the area. When we return to Bastrop, Andy's place will be the first place that we look for. It was that good.
We had such an amazing time at zen river house!! Andy was such a great host and the house was perfect! The weather was rainy on the first 2 days but the house was big and spacious and yet still cozy to feel comfortable inside for most of the day. He had so many board games to pass the time and a great big dining table and big open kitchen that we were all able to talk and play and hang out while cooking and relaxing. The beds were wonderful and there was so much room! The sunroom was so pretty esp while it was raining to still be able to look out and enjoy the beautiful view of the river. The last day we were there was a beautiful day and Andy gave us directions and recommended a wonderful hiking trail in Bastrop forest. We had a great time and will definitely be back again!
We highly recommend this beautiful place!
Thanks again Andy
The place was extremely clean and welcoming. The master bath was great with a rain shower head, bench and second shower head. The kitchen and living room are very large. Really enjoyed the back porch as well as eating outdoors under covered patio (fan out there was great with the humidity!) The backyard had a butterfly garden, several chimes & sitting areas. Sooo peaceful & quiet! We enjoyed the hammocks. Didn’t get a chance to use the kayaks. I think getting into the water with the kayaks at the waters edge might be tricky for some. Owner offers numerous excursions so there may be another area that’s easier to enter the water. Entertained by the billy goats across the street!
My husband and I stayed with 6 of our good friends. Andy is a gracious host and quickly responds to questions. The house is immaculate and homey. It has all of the needed and necessary amenities. Great water access and the available kayaks were definitely a fun extra! We all had a fantastic time and are already discussing when we sre coming back. Highly highly recommend!
Zen Retreat is the perfect name for this property. When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised. The grounds are beautiful, with easy access to the River and a quiet place to fish. The house is clean and uncluttered and a perfect spot for all ages. Andy is an accommodating host with attention to details. We will be back.
While we didn’t get to enjoy the amenities because of our schedule the house had a good vibe and the owner was super communicative and helpful. Would stay again!
