Summary:

Perched above a scenic bend of the Guadalupe River with sweeping sunset views over the Hill Country, Twisted Cedar Retreat is a beautifully updated stone cottage offering the perfect mix of rustic charm and modern comfort. Just 15 minutes from downtown, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is ideal for families, couples and groups looking to unwind surrounded by rolling hills, open pasture, and river views.



The Space:

Set on a private, tree-shaded lot with a long circular driveway, the home's stone exterior and green metal roof give it an unmistakable Hill Country feel. Inside, the open kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a large center island with seating, perfect for gathering before heading out to explore. The living room offers a comfortable, well-styled space to relax, complete with a barn door accent and views out to the property.
