Perfect getaway
We stayed in Blanco for my daughters wedding. We needed a place large enough to hold all her flowers and in a peaceful area to relax before the craziness. It was the perfect place! With outside entertainment and comfy beds: we had an incredible stay! We will definitely book again as it has so much to offer and the hosts were incredible!

Didn't want to leave!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. The beds were extremely comfortable. The bathrooms had very thoughtful touches throughout. The home is very well thought out and comfortable and has all the required utensils/pots/coffee etc. The outside area was fantastic. We very much enjoyed using the cowboy pool, and we enjoyed being able to play corn hole whilst having a BBQ on the deck with a beautiful/private view. We were 3 adults, a child, and a fur child and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This was the first time I have been at a vacation rental that I honestly didn't want to leave. We will definitely be back.

Should have stayed longer!
Paul could not have been a more perfect host, in touch along the way. House was exactly as described, very comfortable and inviting. Great location to be able to explore in different directions. Well appointed kitchen with a beautiful view of the creek where deer traveled every morning and evening. Large patio with cozy fire pit for 6. Definitely recommend and will check availability the next time we're in the area.

Family weekend
We enjoyed our stay in Blanco. Great location! I had a wedding to attend in Dripping Springs and it was a short drive to the venue. We enjoyed the hot tub and pool and the outside green area.

Nice time in Blanco
We used this property as a staring point to go to the state parks in the area. For proximity to the parks, it is great. As for the property itself, it was like staying at a new house as they did a great job with the remodel. Very well decorated and clean. Outdoor space was great, and there some outdoor games the kids enjoyed. It is just off a busy road, but I only noticed run the morning - and if that is a bother the are white noise machines provided. It does sit on the river - but depending on time of year, the river may not be flowing - so if that is important to you I would check before booking. There are good fishing spots 5 minutes away, and at Blanco state park. Enjoyed it and would stay again!!

Perfect Country Getaway
We had a great experience on this property. The home was amazing and had everything we needed indoors and outdoors. We were only 25 minutes from the wineries, and the backroad is a pleasant scenic drive. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for some R&R.
