There are 3 separate bedrooms in the back half of the house.

• Bedroom 2 - Queen size bed (sleeps 2)
• Bedroom 3 - 3 twin size bunkbeds (sleeps 6)

The cabin can comfortably accommodate 4 adults plus 6 kids. There are two bedrooms for adults and a bunkroom for kids. The bunkroom has 3 bunkbeds but is not recommended for adults due to the limited space in the room. There is also a sleeper sofa.

The cabin does not have a TV but there is wireless Internet service. There is a big screen TV in the Castell Store for watching football/basketball.

There is good service for ATT. For Verizon the service is pretty spotty. Not sure about other carriers.

The cabin has window A/C units in each bedroom and a unit in the main living area. During the 100+ days in the summer, these units will keep the cabin comfortable, but don't expect it to be cold inside. There are also ceiling fans in the bedrooms.

Yes. You will need to keep pets leashed and not let them freely roam around brushy areas and along the river so they will not get a snakebite.

Although we don't know what you plan to do for activities we have a few suggestions on what to bring with you.

• Drinking water & food
• Paper towels/napkins
• Beach towels & swim gear for river fun
• Charcoal for grilling
• Games, cards, dominoes, etc

Although there are houses in the area, the brush and trees around the cabin make it very secluded. The closest house to the cabin is behind it about 100 yards and hardly visible. If you are wanting peace and quiet, you will not be disappointed.

The Llano River is located about 200 feet directly in front of the cabin. The river is visible through the trees and the view varies based on the amount of foliage. Note that the cabin does not directly overlook the river but sits back far enough to stay out of the floodplain. The one acre where the cabin is located is direct river frontage.

The cabin sits on stilts 8 feet above the ground which offers a great view of the area from the deck - perfect for watching birds and wildlife.

All the river pictures shown on the website were taken in the area of the river directly in front of the cabin. At the end of the trail to the river is a large granite rock to use for setting up lawn chairs, icechest, etc. In front of the rock is a perfect area for the kids (and adults) to swim. The water depth ranges from 1-4' with some fun rapids to bounce down.

Of course! We suggest bringing swim shoes/aqua socks due to the rocky river bed and slick surfaces. Don't forget your beach towels!

Check the USGS site at Mason or the USGS site at Llano for real-time river flow data. A good flow is between 75-275 CFS.

The cabin is approximately 300 yards East of the post office and sits back 200 yards back from highway 152 towards the river.

The town of Castell has a General Store and a post office. The General Store has water, ice, beer, and fishing supplies. On Thursday through Saturday, the store has hamburgers and BBQ. The Castell Store has a Facebook page where upcoming events are posted.

Castell is halfway between Llano and Mason which is about an 18 mile drive to each. These are the closest towns where groceries or gas can be purchased.
