This house is a pet friendly, zen inspired retreat located on the banks of the Colorado River in Bastrop Texas. You’ll lose yourself on our shady sculptured grounds, eight different patios, each with their own theme and energy and you’ll love our four zen-hammocks. You’ll find it hard to believe you’re only 2 miles from downtown Bastrop. The property is truly Zen Central with access to the river where water activities are popular. You’ll be surrounded by the sounds of the water flowing by and hundreds of bird songs. Visit our tropical plant dome, home of our popular Koifish, who think they are the star attraction. It is the perfect Zencation spot!
The Space
This is a cozy relaxing A-Frame garage apartment. It has 14 steps leading up to the open concept space. The space is 400 square feet main area, and a 100 square foot open loft which is just large enough to sleep two people in separate twin beds. The loft is a favorite with kids, but many adults have slept there as well. The maximum headroom in the center of the loft is about 5 ft.
1 Queen bed lower level, 2 twin beds in the open loft. A kitchenette with hot plate, microwave, coffee maker and mini fridge. There's even a large propane griddle in the shade on the upper patio just outside your door!
Smart TV allows you to access the popular streaming apps and Alexa will play your favorite tunes, give you restaurant recommendations or play games. Our High Speed Wi-Fi extends over most of the property for you modern convenience types!

Our greatest joy is having happy guest, please look over the photos and read the description and house rules in their entirety before you book. Most people come here for the meditative grounds and river setting. If you are looking for a huge sprawling home to lock yourself in for days on end, this may not be the place for you. Our sister properties are better suited for you huge sprawling spaces types.
Please Note: While the house is private, the grounds may be shared with other guest from our sister property, The grounds are large with plenty of spaces for everyone.
Guest have access to the house, the tropical dome and the features located on the grounds... river access, hammocks, 8 patios, seating areas and chairs.
You may see us while we are tending the grounds or gardens, just say hi and we'll introduce ourselves. We do give our guest privacy but we love to entertain and chat if you are so inclined.
While a 2-night stay is possible, the vast majority of our guest’s have told us they wished they had booked an additional night. If a 3-night stay is possible we recommend booking at least 3 days as it is seldom possible to add a night at the last minute.
Should you need additional space for more guests, check out our sister properties located just down the street.
We also offer The Serenity Kayak Experience, The Serenity Hiking Experience as well as tube and Canoe rentals. The Experiences are great ways to explore our beautiful river and forests with me as your guide and have become very popular with our guest.
