This was our second stay at The Rock House. From beginning to end, it was a wonderful experience once again. The house is spotlessly clean and is equipped with everything you need for a perfect visit. We especially enjoyed the great selection of coffee, seeing deer in the front yard every morning and the overall sense of peace and relaxation we felt while there. It was a treat to spend time sitting by the river in the evenings. The house was easy to find and close to the eclectic town of Wimberley, which we enjoyed. Communication with the host was excellent as was the reservation process. We highly recommend this property.

We stay over the weekend for Fathers Day for a relaxing stay away from the city. This place didn’t disappoint. The property is nice and secluded. Having river access was a plus. Property manager was great and communication. We would definitely stay again.

Dreamy location

The Rock House is just beautiful, but its location makes it even more charming. Is super close to downtown and at reasonable distance from all the trending wineries on 290. Communication with host/owners was great. The check in/check out process was very easy and the house have enough accommodations to spend a wonderful weekend, any time of the year. Definitely we would book again!

Just what we needed!

The property was easy to find and was just what we expected. Everything was spotlessly clean, well taken care of and well stocked. The bed and the furniture were very nice and very comfortable. The kitchen was a pleasure to use and everything we needed was on hand. The host had thoughtfully provided a three hour fire log which we enjoyed using. There was also a supply of firewood. The Grill worked perfectly. We loved watching the deer and one big buck as they wandered through the property. The area was very peaceful. Check in and out was very efficient. We would highly recommend this property.

Stay exceeded beyond expectations..

Everything was so well thought of...the towels, the blankets, toiletries were plentiful..the kitchen is fully equipped....the house is very clean, the decor is to my taste...firewood is available though we didn't use it....the place is 30 minutes away from Pedernales Falls State Park which was the reason why we were in Blanco.....the only downside is that the water level of the river is extremely low... my husband came with his fishing rod😄.. my grandson found the river still exciting however...

Family of 4- (3 day Vacation in June)

We decided to visit Blanco for a short getaway from the city. I had seen this property a few years back and had saved it. I'm so glad we finally got to stay in the Rock house. It looks just like the pictures. When we arrived, we were greeted by friendly Mrs. Ruth. All instructions and information emailed was very accurate and helpful. My daughter (age 11) and my son (age 14) had so much fun playing in the river. Most of it is low which makes it feel safe for the kids. If you go a bit to the right once in the water from the access, we found 2 spots where the water hit my husband's chest. Even in the low areas my son greatly enjoyed using the kayak that is available for guests to use. I had paid entry to the Blanco State Park for one of our days there. The day came and we headed over there, my kids and husband took one look at the water and said nope lets go back to the Rock house, the water was so much prettier/clear at the property. So we left and they went straight to it and had a blast. They literally wouldn't get out till the last bit of daylight was gone, around 9pm. Our last full day there the grass was mowed, which made it much more comfortable walking to and from the river. Access to the town is super quick and easy. We had a great time and will definitely stay at the Rock house if we go again.

Cute cabin in a good location

We needed a place for the weekend that was convenient to Blanco and this property met all our requirements. It is small but clean and in a great location tucked away off the highway along the river. It was quiet and the grounds are well kept and spacious. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing cabin on the Blanco River

Such an excellent cabin and property! We had a momma and two baby deer visit us multiple times a day and loved watching the owls sit in the trees. I can’t say enough good things about the cabin…it is so quaint, beautiful, and very comfortable!! We will definitely be back, especially when the River has more water.

Relaxing Getaway

The property is absolutely beautiful. We loved sitting on the porch and listening to wildlife. Even though we were under an extreme drought, there was still enough water in the river for us to enjoy an evening dip. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful place!

This property was great! It is centrally located to lots of popular Hill Country locations. Downtown Blanco had some cute restaurants - highly recommend the Redbud Cafe. The property itself was clean & well stocked. The river was low but we still managed to hangout in the water. I can’t recommend this place enough! We will definitely stay again!

Blanco visit

The house was clean, with plenty of room for our family of 3. The property is beautiful, we just wish there was a little more water in the river. We still managed to catch a bunch of perch and enjoy the river on the property, but it was just too shallow for swimming. Im sure after a little rain it will be back up to a better level. We would definitely visit again.

The Rock House is AMAZING!

What an amazing place! My wife and I booked a get away for ourselves. And we thoroughly enjoyed the Rock House! It is an old rock homestead structure on the banks of the Blanco river in a picturesque setting. We spent our mornings drinking coffee by the river while fishing a bit. We went into town for lunch at quaint downtown cafés and explored historic downtown Blanco. One night we prepared a delicious meal in the very nice and modern kitchen and outdoor grill. One night we drove into Gruene/New Braunfels and had a romantic dinner at the Gristmill River Restaurant! We were at the Rock House for four days and three nights, and never once had an urge to turn on the TV. We spent time on the river, we saw a couple of foxes and other wildlife also enjoying the well-maintained property. The hosts were super gracious and had everything prepared and ready. We were in need of nothing. Outside the cabin looks like a rustic haven, and the inside looks like it is straight out of a modern home magazine! Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we will book it again soon. There are also other rentals on the property. One is much larger and we may book for ourselves, our kids, and our grandkids! I do have one complaint though. The three cabins on the property are named, the Rock House, The Paper House, and the Main House. I think they missed a great opportunity to name the third house, the Scissor House! :-D
