HarmonyHouse: Pet Friendly Zen River Retreat

There's this place that allows you to forget about the world...
Enjoy Discounts when you book 3 days or more!


Harmony House is a pet friendly, zen inspired retreat located on the banks of the beautiful Colorado River in Bastrop Texas. Youā€™ll lose yourself on our shady sculptured grounds, eight different patios, each with their own theme and energy and youā€™ll love our four zen-hammocks. Youā€™ll find it hard to believe youā€™re only 2 miles from downtown Bastrop. The property is truly Zen Central with access to the river where water activities are popular. Youā€™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!


We have a feeling, like so many others over the years, you'll fall in love withHarmonyHouse. This is where ZenRiverHouse getaways all began and it is still the most requested property we have.


The Space

Harmony 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!

It's a beautiful relaxing setting where you can truly forget about the world.

We love having well behaved pets explore the grounds with their families. We do have a $75.00 per pet per stay fee that helps keep us pet friendly. The maximum number of pets for this property is 3. Please inform us of the number of pets joining you during your stay. If you did not include and pay for the number of pets in your reservation, please message us with the number of pets and we can bill your card or you can leave it with us before you leave. (Please see house rules for pets)


Whether a romantic getaway or family outing, we are sure that Harmony House will delight the nature lover inside and rejuvenate your soul!

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, The RiverHouse or RiversEdge 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, TheRiverHouse, which is located on the same grounds. The grounds are large with plenty of spaces for everyone.


Guest have access to Harmony 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 guestā€™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, The RiverHouse located on the same grounds or RiversEdge and RiverNook Located just down the street as well as our Forest Retreat PineyWoods House.

We strongly advise trip insurance to cover your booking and will provide any documentation you may need to facilitate your claim. Our cancelation policy will be adhered to at all times during your reservation. We do not refund reservations outside of our cancelation policy.

Beautiful memories made here
My husband and I came with her two adult children and stayed in the cabin, harmony house. Andy was on point and helped us achieve a perfect vacation weekend. He even dropped us off down the road so we could tube down the river and gave us Perfect instructions on where to park our car after our river trip. The grounds are so incredibly peaceful. Both nights we spent in the hammocks, looking at the stars. We could honestly not have asked for a better weekend. Andy's kindness and help had everything to do with its success. I could've stayed for a whole week! We will be back!

Beautiful property, perfect for a relaxing weekend
My best friend and I came out to Harmony House for a long weekend, and it was the perfect place to relax and hang out. There were lots of great spots all over the property to sit and enjoy the view, but our favorite was a tiled section of stairs right on the river. The house was very cosy and comfortable, and had everything we needed. Thanks Andy!

Serene Getaway Property
So much love and care has gone into Harmony House that it clearly shows! My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and we were just blown away by how welcome Andy made us feel. The house itself is cozy and clean with a nice bed, awesome loft space, and 2nd floor deck. The bathroom was well-stocked with towels and some little travel amenities in case we forgot ours. Walking through the property was an experience all on its own. There are so many little nooks for secluded relaxation, an outdoor grilling area, and the seating by the river was out of this world. I could have spent all day in the greenhouse watching the fish! Expect to drive about 5-8 minutes to get out of the neighborhood. The property is tucked way back and you need to navigate several blind 90 degree turns on a gravel road. It took us about 10 minutes to get to downtown Bastrop and about 30 to get to Austin. Such a great place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city!

A memorable weekend
The property of the Harmony House is amazing. I was specifically looking for a place on the river to have a marriage ceremony. My honey and I were married under the cottonwood closest to the river along side our two boys and my parents. Andy was so accommodating and allowed me to create how I saw the vision of the alter under the tree and Iā€™m so grateful! My kids loved the River and the ceremony that took place was very special for all of us. I recommend staying at here

Third time is definitely a charm!
Repeat customer here. I canā€™t say enough good things! Love the location to downtown Bastrop, and the property is right on the river..itā€™s the perfect escape from the city. We came to kayak the 6-mile El Camino Real trailā€¦if you havenā€™t kayaked before..do it..it was an easy paddle. Dropped in at Fishermanā€™s Park and paddled down to the Colorado River Refuge. It took about 2-hours..it was super relaxing..loved it. The host, Andy,..hands down the best host ever. Nicest guy who is so friendly and makes you feel welcomed. He came down once we arrived to discuss kayak take-out points from the river to his property..but we opted to go down to the Colorado River Refuge instead. If you havenā€™t checked out the wonderful town of Bastrop..you are missing out! Definitely book the Harmony House..you will not be disappointed! Canā€™t wait to come back this autumn to do the 14-mile El Camino Real Trail from Utley to Fishermanā€™s Park! Thank you Andy..you rock!!

Nice Bungalow Close to Town
We loved our stay at the Harmony house over Christmas. It is close to our family in Bastrop and much more affordable than at Hotel in town. It is also a great place to see wildlife, as I saw no less than four deer, including a giant 8-point buck that walked in front of my car to let me take a picture. Accommodations are cozy, and my wife and I enjoyed sleeping upstairs while our two married kids had downstairs. I highly recommend it.
