Peaceful getaway
Where do I begin? My husband and I and the dogs Joey and Sammie enjoyed the house and property so much! We loved the creek and the canoe so much we took it out everyday and loved what we call the aquarium. We saw so many fish through the clear water. We played pool every night and threw darts in the game room. The house was so clean and well equipped with everything you need to feel at home. We used the gas grill and made the best steaks and my husband loved the BBQ tools to make the job easy. We sat on the rockers outside and felt like we were in our own private wilderness. The birds entertained us everyday while they fed from the feeders just in front of us. Harriet you have a beautiful home which we enjoyed and needed so much! You are such a great host and made us feel so welcome. We slept like babies in the king size bed and loved that you had all the amenities to shower and get ready for our new adventures for the day. I could go on and on about Fiddlers Creek and will definitely be coming back to that little slice of heaven. One more note wear good hiking shoes and be prepared for a great adventure.

Great week
The house is spotless, the location is perfect! We enjoyed swimming, floating and star gazing. So very close to so many things in town, yet we didnt see a single person during our stay. We had the creek to ourselves. So very perfect for my birthday.

Beautiful views. Clean property. Fully furnished with everything you could possibly need. This was our second visit and we’ll definitely be back. The creek was full and we enjoyed exploring in the canoe. Harriet provided excellent communication and quick responses. We couldn’t ask for a better experience.

Nice Quiet Cabin - Beautiful Creek
We will definitely return! Absolutely perfect close-by getaway for long weekend. The cabin was clean and well provisioned. Owner is kind, very responsive & helpful, while respectful of our privacy. Access to the Creek is a little challenging, but 100% worth the effort. During our stay, the Creek was magnificent. One of the best stretches of crystal clear water that we have ever seen. Very private. Other than 1 afternoon when the friendly neighbors across the Creek were swimming, we didn’t see another soul. Perfect!

Spacious secluded cabin with beautiful views
Everything is absolutely perfect at this cabin overlooking the crystal clear creek in the rugged Texas Hill Country. The hostess makes everything comfortable and nothing is missed: ice and water is provided, plus plenty of spices and basics for food prep. The decor is delightful with interesting antiques, ceramics, and natural woods. Very comfortable king sized bed in bedroom with huge closet containing games and books. Loved looking out the front window during meals and relaxing in the comfortable living room and front porch rockers. The creek was quite delightful for canoeing and watching the small fish through the clear water and other wildlife. The neighborhood has a secured front gate which is a huge plus. There are very few homes in the area and we never saw anyone, so it felt like your own private getaway! If you enjoy going to wineries and breweries, there are many nearby, and Pedernales Falls State Park is beautiful and minutes away. The towns of Johnson City and Dripping Springs are twenty minutes away, and there are plenty of places to eat and grocery shop, etc. Austin's pretty close too if you want to see the city. But we came for the peace and quiet in a natural setting and it fit the bill perfectly.

Pure Bliss!
This was my second stay at Fiddler’s Creek and it did not disappoint. This place is absolutely breathtaking, from the clear water to the privacy. We had a rain storm come through in the middle of our trip. That made the water murky so we decided to take a drive to WImberly for some shopping. Fiddler’s Creek is one of my favorite vacations spots I’ve visited.

A Very Special Place
We absolutely loved our stay at Fiddler’s Creekside! The property has so many amazing views and spots to explore and is full of birds, butterflies and wildflowers. The creek water was wonderfully clear and so fun to canoe around on. The treehouse-like deck and front porch of the cabin are so relaxing to hang out on and sip your coffee or cold beer. We loved this place so much that we decided to skip 3 days of planned excursions and spend the rest of our time at this magical place! The interior of the house has a wonderfully spacious great room with an eclectic mix of art and historical features. And the king size bed was soooo comfortable. Harriet was a such a great host and made sure we had everything we needed and was wonderful to communicate with. We hope to return to this beautiful spot in the future!

Peaceful, scenic property
We wanted a nice weekend together from our hustled and hurried world. This was perfect for us. It was quiet with beautiful scenery we enjoyed from the front porch every day. Going down to the river was a little bit of a challenge on bad knees but there is a clear path to get there which was nice. Having floats, kayaks and a canoe to enjoy on the river was an added bonus. The cabin itself was cozy, clean, well stocked and nicely decorated. Harriet and Steve were prompt to answer and questions we had and wonderful hosts. We would love to visit here again.

We stayed here when we went to visit Hamilton pool and it was great! The property is pristine with stunning views and easy access to the water; peaceful and quite. Everything about the reservation and check in process was flawless and easy. The special touches…like the snack left and the access to spices and such just made this stay perfect. I do apologize for using water bottles though! We carry them with us everyday we go and needed them like crazy at the Hamilton Pool in the triple digit weather. I highly recommend this property.
