The site sits at the junction of Bailey Creek and the South Llano River. The land is managed for bird watching and plant diversity and boast and astonishing variety of plant species. One such, "Cupgrass", is a favorite food source for the Painted Bunting and the Black-throated Sparrow almost always available for view here. Humans have been on the site and estimated 7,000 years now and there is strong sense of peace and continuity in the land and waters here. The wells are shallow, spring fed, and sweet with limestone, so bring your favorite tea or coffee. And a hat! The river is flowing well, but due to the severe drought, a bun ban is in effect.

Cupgrass Cabins: The Farmhouse

The Cupgrass Farmhouse is quite lovely. It is very spacious and lovingly decorated with artifacts and collected items. Hummingbirds swarming around the feeders, momma cow and her baby in the field and roaming chickens added to the charm. Wildflowers and budding cactus were beautiful. We had 14 children and 13 adults gather there for dinners and were very comfortable. (We had other cabins also for sleeping). The little ones caught and released their first fish, fed and petted the cows and loved the chickens. Glen is an excellent host. this is a well kept property and I would highly recommend a stay there. Marianne James

Best Spot on the Llano

Glen’s place was PERFECT for my family to meet up with my parents & brother for a few days. The house is the perfect size and has everything you need and then some. The land is AMAZING, and the River access is absolutely perfection. Our 3 year old boy referred to it as “our Junction house”. Glen is super accommodating and helpful in anything you need. He even helped me with a weird technical issue I had with the booking. If you need a get away, we couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Every Star in the Sky

Spending a relaxing weekend on the river makes time stand still. We had such a good time enjoying our meals on the screened back porch, reading a book while watching the chickens scratch in the grass, and seeing the moon and stars away from city lights. We can't wait to visit Cupgrass again soon!

Perfect mini-vacay

The setting is beautiful, rugged TX on a river. Perfectly maintained. There were kayaks which we enjoyed & fly fished from right here.The cabin is old and adorable, decorated with antiques and beautiful florals. It’s October and it was so cool. The breeze got cold at night and kept us comfortable all day. Birds came in— flock of scissor tails.

Cupgrass Cabins: The Farmhouse

The Farmhouse was a great home base for our group! The layout was awesome and there was more than enough space, including bathrooms, for our party of 8 high school girls and 12 of their parents. We took day-long float trips, but the house was a great place to come back to for preparing meals and playing lots of cards and dominoes.

The close proximity of the river made this a perfect vacation for me and my 3 teenage grandsons. We hiked, swam, fished and kayaked. It was wonderful for them and I got to spend the early mornings while they slept journaling, drinking tea and watching the hummers. I can’t wait to make this a yearly memory making trip!

Best Father’s Day ever

This place is fantastic. Great location on the S Llano River. Had a great time fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding. The house is great, plenty of room for 6 of us. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back

South Llano River Steward

I'm actually torn--yes, the Farmhouse is a lovely, homey, place in a perfect location on the South Llano River. There is easy access to the river for paddling (kayaks available) or swimming. Or you can drive up the road for a longer paddle that is just right for a morning of fishing, birding and loafing on crystal clear water--with brief interludes of small rapids and riffles. Glen is a good river steward and is creating and protecting stream side habitat. Really a perfect place. But do I really want anyone else to know about this place? Selfishly we'd like to keep it to ourselves! I can't wait to go back. Thank you Glen!

Cupgrass Cabins: The Farmhouse

My family of both adults and small children are sold on the Farmhouse. The house itself is updated with modern kitchen, tall ceilings, large rooms, washer/dryer and a front porch that sports hummingbird feeders. The river is a short walk or drive with steps leading down. There are access points for kayaks very close to the property. I can’t say enough for the hospitality of the host, Glen. He lets you have your privacy but gets back with you promptly if you have questions. We stayed 5 days and between our trips to Fredericksburg and Kerrville (each about an hour away) we still had plenty of time for itty bitties to play at the State Park (6 miles from house) and for the adults to do a lot of porch sitting even in the heat. Great time- great house. Charla L

Family Kayaking Vacation

Loved the family feel inside the house. Very cozy! The sights and sounds of nature are amazing: river flowing close by, wind in the tree tops, birds singing, and gorgeous flowers (that he's planting)! We caught fish, and kayaked all weekend. We took the 2hr kayak that Glen was telling us about. AMAZING! The house came with 5 kayak and we bought our 9. Glen allowed 14 people to stay in his home. ( We had @ families stay together) Very roomy! The house was family oriented and warm cozy feel. Thank you Glen for our exceptional vacation experience. WE CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!!!

We loved the cabin! Perfect for our family with lots of space to spread out and everything you need for a fun weekend. Great spot on the river and perfect for kayaking. An amazing hidden swimming hole just down the road to post up for the day. Amazing hosts and super accommodating and communicative. We will be back for sure!

Can't wait to go back!!!

Me and a group of close friends planned a trip to Cupgrass as an extended weekend getaway. Far from the world of phone screens, computer monitors, and meetings. We were so excited for honey, wildflowers, and farm fresh eggs. Sadly by the time we arrived there was a long lasted drought that removed the wildflowers and fresh honey from the features. That all being said. Glen was on site and available to assist with out ever feeling intrusive or pushy. Both him and his dog Kota were so welcoming and friendly that at times it felt like we just had a good neighbor. On our first day, we had unpacked and were getting settled. We decided to use the on-site smoker to make a brisket. Glen jumped to the rescue to collaborate and even provided wood when we ran out. By our second day something wonderful had started to happen. I was reading the Hobbit (from the extensive library on hand) while sitting in the closed in porch early in the morning. As I watched the sun rise over the treeline, I was able to see the garden outside and could see the serene greens coming through thanks to all the effort Glen had put forth on the first day, watering and tending to it. By the third day the cabin felt more like a home than a temporary stay. We spent our days reading, playing the nearby creek, and keeping the meats smoking. We had yoga in the mornings and made friends with the incredibly personable chickens. Glen let the chickens know we will be back!

Great get away!

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful time chillin in cabin 1. We so needed a reset and to get out of town. One day we just sat on the generous porch and read, perfect spring weather and the most comfortable wicker armchair I’ve ever sat in. Another day we kayaked up, the down the river. The state park nearby has some sweet, easy hiking. Plus we got a full moon. All around win. The cabin is roomy, with a comfortable bed (very), and a well stocked kitchen.

He has a nice spot on the river about 10 miles south of town. It is close enough to the crossing up stream that you can float the +3 mile run to his place in just a couple of hours which is perfect. Nice if you don't want to spend the whole day in the sun sitting in a kayak! The house is really roomy and nice, with a fairly large kitchen and a huge screened in back porch. Nice fire pit down by the water and good access to the river.

Great place we love it except the pipeline facility noise from a site less than 1/4 mile from your beautiful property that sounds like an A-10 Warthog jet buzzing the S. Llano river valley all night long. The operators of that facility are damaging your property value!! They need to install acoustical baffles or barriers like last year!! Tell the County Judge!!!

Beautiful and cozy!

Perfect lil spot of heaven! Very much what we needed! My husband and I found this place for a weekend getaway but will definitely be returning with all the family! The host always found a way to go that extra step and made the stay even better than we thought!
