House Rules
Tips for Making the Most of Your Stay Wifi Instructions Name: KernBrothers-5G Password: Kernbrothers422 House Rules -Please drive no faster than 25 MPH along the main road / easement in Vasterling Creek Ranch -No off roading in Vasterling Creek Ranch -No Smoking inside - Smoking is only allowed in outside areas -Please be conservative with water use, as the house is on a well -DO NOT put anything in the toilet except toilet paper, we are on a sensitive septic system -Please remove shoes when entering the home -No leaning against rail in loft area -No parties or events -Quiet hours between 11pm and 6am -Do not use white bath towels for the river. River towels are provided and can be found on the shelf in the laundry room Please hang up or lay out wet towels after use -Please wipe down lawn chairs and put them back in the storage bench on the back patio after use -NO glass at the river. Please respect the Llano river and clean up after yourselves. -Please stay within the boundaries of the house and refrain from joy walking outside the yard area (WARNING: Snakes are present, especially in summer) Important Tips: Enjoying the River: We provide river towels on a shelf above the washer and dryer. On the back patio there is a storage bench which holds lawn chairs for you to use at the river! Please respect the river by cleaning up and taking no glass. Heating and Cooling: The A/C and Heating system is a mini split system. It’s important that all the air handlers in the rooms, loft and kitchen are in the same setting. They must ALL be on cool or heat etc, or it throws an error. River Access: From the front gate, drive 1 mile east (toward LLano) on Ranch Road 152 and take a left on Ranch Road 103. Drive down toward the bridge and look for first available parking Bugs at Night: Because we are in the country, bugs will heavily swarm toward the lights. It is best to turn off the lower porch lights, and only utilize the upper lights, so bugs stay up high. This will prevent bugs darting inside every time you open the door. Another great tip is to only turn on the carport lights so bugs stay on the side of the house. WARNING: Please remember that you are in the country, so please be aware of your surroundings, as snakes, wild boar, and other wildlife are present. Snakes are especially active in the summer. Respect the wildlife.

Neighborhood
Our Hill Country Escape is located in Vasterling Creek Ranch, on a beautiful and private 55 acre lot. You will find us off Ranch Road 152 west of LLano and close to Castell. The high side of the property, where the home sits, has gorgeous hill country views surrounding it. Please remember that you are in the country, so please be aware of your surroundings, as snakes and other wildlife are present. If you'd like to enjoy a walk or jog, we recommend you do so on the main road coming in, which is very rarely used. We are only 3 miles from the famous General Store in Castell, where you can find good people, food and drinks. The frequency of activities happening at the General Store are amazing, so definitely check it out and drop in for a meal, drink or full-on party!
Guest Access
You will have access through a digital door code upon arrival for an easy check-in and check out process. Enjoy the entire home and surrounding 53 acres.
Reviews
Find us
As you head to this region west of the Austin area, we are positioned just far enough to see the landscape change to rising granite and beautiful green mountains. The area is a unique geographical area of granite, called the "LLano Uplift". Our home is a secluded getaway, far enough away for privacy, but close enough to enjoy daytime activities like the LLano River, nearby Wineries, Castel General Store, Burnet, Enchanted Rock, Fredricksburg and much more.. Check out our Guidebook in the app for activity recommendations.
