Gorgeous home in great location!

Owners were great at communicating and working through a few hick ups with the check in email. Had one thing that was broken at the house which was dishwasher. They stayed in good communication. Sadly a person could not get out while we were there. The house is gorgeous and has a great location. Needs a few maintenance things around the property, but no big deal. We will definitely be back!

Nice House

It’s a very nice and clean house. It’s very easy to communicate with the owner if you have any questions. The way to the second fire pit by the river has a walkway so you’re not walking through the grass which is really nice. Would recommend staying here!

Great Find in Hill Country!

House was beautiful and very private! Great patio with shaded couches, lounge chairs, dining table, BBQ grill, plunge pool, hot tub, and gas fire pit. Large turf area for outdoor games!

Pleasant Weekend in Blanco

The house, accommodations and grounds were as advertised. We really enjoyed the evenings on the deck grilling steaks, listening to music and enjoying a beverage. The lighting bug show on the grounds at sundown was an unexpected wonderful addition.

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!

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.

A Perfect Slice of Paradise – We Didn't Want to Leave!

Our recent stay at this beautiful home was nothing short of extraordinary. Every detail, from the thoughtfully chosen fixtures to the stunning decor, exuded comfort and elegance. The bathrooms were stocked with high-quality amenities, and the extra touches throughout the house made it feel like the ultimate country vacation experience. The outdoor patio was an absolute dream, offering breathtaking views that we couldn’t get enough of. It was the perfect place to relax, enjoy family time, and soak in the serenity. Our family loved it so much that we ended up extending our stay because leaving just didn’t feel like an option. This home truly surpassed all our expectations, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a luxurious, country relaxing getaway! We plan on returning!
