Great place for a restful unwinding getaway, the location is great for Llano or Mason. Fire pit by the River provides great relaxation with sound of the River. The rocking chairs on porch allow lots of unwind time with watching wildlife and the Chickens from the Chick Inn, they are the official greeters.

What an exquisite piece of property! If you are looking for a place where you can turn off the engine, unpack, and connect with nature, look no further. This is a beautiful space on the Llano River!

Stunning views! Friendly town. Great for groups! We had 18 adults, couples & singles. We rented all 4 cabins & the house. Easily could have slept more. Very comfortable and inviting. Spent most of the weekend by the river, at the fire pit behind cabin C & D, or on the deck between cabin C & D. All of us absolutely love our weekend there!

Wow! Absolutely amazing property. This is a gem that fit our group needs perfectly. The cabins are ideal for friends and family to have an amazing time to create wonderful memories. From the privacy and remote location we couldn’t ask for anything more. Cabins are clean and offer comfortable beds, cool A/C, functional kitchens and Wi-Fi throughout the property. The outdoor patio for family meals and games was perfect for our group. The direct river access and the ability to see the sunrises, sunsets, moonrise, views of the Milky Way, shooting stars and meteor showers left us all in awe and wanting to stay longer.

This was the exact getaway we were looking for! We were able to hike at two different state parks and there were tons of bass in the river close by. Perfect!

I came for two nights with a close friend eager to unwind and soak up Hill Country charm and this spot was just the oasis we needed. The little town of Castell is authentically wonderful—we made friends with folks at the General Store, swam in the Llano River just in front of the main house and fell in love with the live music and great food

This place was awesome. It is exactly what I wanted. It is on the Llano river and away from the crowds. Perfect for our little family. I stayed in one of the smaller cabins, but next time I would like to bring more people and stay in the bigger cabins. If you appreciate small town Texas and peace and quiet then you will love this place.

Our multi-family group enjoyed our time at El Castell. Each cabin had everything we needed and the shared spaces allowed us to spend time together. Our ages ranged from 7-78 and everyone was able to relax and spend time together. The descriptions were accurate – the temperatures were cooler than we expected but the cabins were plenty warm and the firepit was perfect. We would highly recommend this place.

We stayed here for a women’s gravel cycling camp and it was perfect! We had all four cabins and it was more than enough space for 12 women and their bikes. The location is so peaceful and has easy access to great gravel roads. We went over to Llano for dinner one night and went to the local haunted house – it was super scary! Highly recommend if you’re there around Halloween! Would definitely come back to this hidden gem along the river.
