Relaxed Fishing Cabin on the Colorado River | 2BR, 1BA | Sleeps 6 | Matagorda

If you're looking for a laid-back getaway where the fishing is great and the pace is slow, this cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin on the Colorado River in Matagorda is just the spot. Just a clean, comfortable place to kick back, cast a line, and enjoy the water.

The cabin sleeps up to 6 guests, with two bedrooms and a sleeper sofa in the living room. The kitchen has all the basics for cooking up your catch, and the living area is a great place to relax after a day outdoors.

Definitely not fancy but suited our family of 3 needs very well. The kitchen is small but very functional and stocked with everything you need. We spent most of our time outside on the dock and were able to catch a few fish and crabs, it was nice watching the boats come up and down the river. Overall great stay for the price!
