About this property
River Hill Ranch, Pet friendly, Fireplace
Summary:
Welcome to River Hill Ranch, a breathtaking rental in Blanco, TX! The house sits on 156 acres & is an old late 1800's barn from upstate New York. A 4 bed/3 bath, perfect for 10 guests. There is no comparison to the hill country, enjoy the beautiful views on the front porch with a cup of coffee! We have 20 Texas Longhorns roaming the property & it's truly a one of a kind experience to see them. There is a great kitchen & living area for your family/friends to enjoy & make memories!
