Perfect Place for a Girls’ Getaway!
This house is so inviting and absolutely spotless! It was the perfect setting for a girls’ getaway. All the beds are queen or king, the kitchen is wonderfully stocked and the dining room provided a great spot to enjoy dinner together. The back yard is its own little oasis. When you walk out onto the screened porch, you can hear the water feature. So peaceful. We easily walked to the river and park and enjoyed exploring some cute little stores. There is a hot tub that looked inviting though we ended up not using it. Next time we certainly will and there will definitely be a next time! This house was perfect!

Adorable Home With Backyard Oasis
This rental ranked up there with one of my favorites. Extremely clean, very spacious and all the details were very thought out, at no point did we ever have a need that was not met. The technology (Alexis) made everything extremely easy to navigate. I could live in the backyard, it is straight out of a magazine! The owners were very organized, detailed and helpful. Cannot wait to stay here again!

Wonderful Hill Country Home!
We stayed here over Thanksgiving to be near our family’s ranch. The home exceeded all expectations and then some. It was beautiful inside and out, very well maintained, the beds (and pillows!!) were extremely comfortable (and I’m a harsh critic of beds). It was a great layout for our family. Loved that there were Lego Duplos for our children aged 1 and 5 to play with. We didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub but the backyard and sunroom is beautiful! I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a retreat from the city. Kerrville has so much to offer and this home is in a great location. Vince was very easy to communicate with start to finish. Don’t hesitate and book this house today!! 10/10 would stay here again.

Beautiful home!
I think this is the nicest Vrbo I have stayed in! The home is beautiful, and it has plenty of space for guests. We had five adults staying for the weekend, but there was definitely room for more. The back yard is an oasis, the kitchen has everything you could possibly need, and they don’t skimp on the number nor quality of towels. All five of my family members would whole-heartedly recommend this home. We were in town for a wedding and the location was convenient for all of the associated events.

About the host

Hosted by Vince

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Vince, the founder of 32 Lights Vacation Homes. My journey with Kerrville began many years ago while I was dating my now-wife. We quickly fell in love with the area's charm and natural beauty. Each visit deepened our connection to Kerrville, culminating in a memorable engagement on the banks of the Guadalupe River.

As our family started to grow, we felt a strong pull to put down roots in Kerrville. We wanted not only to enjoy its beauty ourselves but also to share it with others. This desire led us to purchase a home here, one that captivated us from the start, particularly its magical and private backyard – an ideal spot for families and friends to gather.

Driven by our passion for modern technology, we designed the home with the latest amenities, marrying the classic allure of the Hill Country with contemporary comforts. This home is our way of offering a relaxing haven to guests who wish to experience the tranquility and charm of Kerrville.

The home holds a special place in our hearts. We cherish every moment we've spent here and are excited to share this wonderful place and its surrounding area with you. We hope you'll find as much joy and peace here as we have!

Why they chose this property

We love this neighborhood for its perfect blend of tranquility and convenience. Nestled in a peaceful area, the home offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle, where you can often see deer roaming the streets, adding a touch of natural beauty to your stay. Despite its quiet setting, the neighborhood is just a stone's throw away from the vibrant downtown, ensuring you're never far from the heart of the action. Additionally, the location boasts easy access to major roads, making it a breeze to explore the surrounding area. Whether you're here to relax or explore, our home provides the ideal starting point for all your adventures.

What makes this property unique

Lantern Retreat is a unique blend of history and modern luxury. This 2300 square foot home, built in 1939, combines its original charm with modern amenities and technology. Every detail is crafted with love, ensuring beauty and functionality for our guests.

Our backyard is a haven for relaxation and entertainment. Enjoy the artificial creek and rock garden, under the shade of oak and pecan trees adorned with solar lanterns. The space is complete with accent lighting and a private hot tub for ultimate relaxation.

The converted garage is a fun-filled game room, boasting an arcade machine with classic games, ping pong, arcade basketball, a 65-inch TV, and a card table. It's a perfect blend of nostalgia and modern fun.
