About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Spicewood, Lake Travis, Pedernales, Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Porch Swing

We offer direct access to 6-acres of nature for your dog to explore and are close to wineries/distilleries. KickbackCove is truly a hidden retreat where you can relax, reset, and reconnect with the people you love.

When you drive through our gates, you will immediately feel the presence of nature as mature trees create a canopy over the house, and the sounds of birds chirping take you in.

Are you ready to enjoy star gazing, swimming in PaceBend Park on Lake Travis only 7 minutes away, hanging out at Krause Springs or Spicewood Vineyards?

Plan your fall trip and enjoy hot tubbing under the stars, a good fire, or sitting on our covered patio drinking coffee.

Enjoy our newly renovated charming Hill Country bedroom home to escape and reconnect with nature. Unlike many Spicewood homes, this is not grandma's house. We have over 4 yrs of 5-star guest reviews.

This property has been described as hill country lovers dream and only 40 min from downtown Austin, 25 min from Lakeway. Located in Spicewood on the what was the Pedernales River with over 6 acres, this home is the best place to Kickback and relax. (Note: The Pedernales river is currently in a drought and reduced to a creek ). Krause Springs is an amazing local natural springs for swimming and only 20 min away or you can enjoy Pacebend Park for swimming only 10 min. away)

Picture yourself hanging out on our covered patio with friends drinking your coffee or sipping on a glass of wine while surrounded by large trees watching TV outside or taking sitting by a roaring fire roasting marshmallows listening to some classic rock.

Spicewood feels like you have stepped into another world...a place where you can actually see the stars, hear the birds, kayak in the lake, and feel the peacefulness of nature and space. We live in what I would describe as an eclectic or "Lakey" neighborhood. That's why they often joke and say "Keepin' it Weird in Spicewood."What that translates to you as guests is minimal noise control and country fun!

We have a private 6-person hot tub, propane grill, fire pit, covered patio with a porch swing, separate fenced in yard for your dogs, and are within 10 min to Gaucho winery and Luck Ranch.

Note: We do live on site and are separated by a large garage so we do not have a direct view to this home. The hot tub area is not fenced in but most guest feel the place has enough privacy. You can walk down to the creek down a path that takes about 6 min.

Hill Country Living

We are in a prime location near Spicewood Vineyards or StoneHouse , Iron Wolf distillery, Poodies Bar, Willie Nelson's Luck Ranch, or hiking in Pace Bend Park. This country home offers a soulful experience- guaranteed to see deer grazing at deer-30, 8:45 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. daily down by the creek.

LIVING AREA

The open living area features a 55” flat-screen TV with Roku and Netflix. Two large reclining leather couches offer comfortable seating for a large family or group. A very fun "Willie Nelson" style sitting area and a record player because music brings joy!

KITCHEN & DINING

The kitchen has a fun vintage vibe and is fully equipped with silverware, plates/cups, coffee maker, complementary coffee/creamer/sugar, spices, and everything you'll need to prepare hearty home-cooked meals. Front door leads directly the covered private patio with a side enclosed yard for your dogs. Yes, we are dog friendly!

BEDROOMS & BATHS

This one-story manufactured home sleeps up to six guests in three bedrooms. We offer an oversized shower, and a 1 1/2 bath attached to one of the bedrooms.

All bedrooms are clean and feature either two plush queen-size beds, or a King bed.

OUTDOOR AREAS

In addition to your private patio and hot tub sitting area, walk down a paved path about 5-6 minutes leading to about 3 acres of a valley and enjoy the expansive hill country views of this amazingly calm and breezy valley.

Many people ask about the river depth right now. It should be noted that our dock is dry docked right now as the river has been reduced to a creek.

Wifi: We do offer sufficient wifi for several devices to work/zoom calls etc. but not alway suitable for gaming.

Note: You can access Lake Travis and launch a boat in 10 min from either Pace Bend Park, or go and enjoy Briarcliff Marina for kayaking.
