About this property
Colorful waterfront retro compound, airstream kitchen, hot tub, media barn!
Fun, colorful waterfront property, steps from the water's edge, recently remodeled in retro happiness for comfort and convenience. The property consists of two adorable buildings, Watercolor House which sleeps 9 in beds, and steps away, The Red Barn which sleeps 4 kids in bunks, 2 adults in a full size bed and 2 on a fold-out.
We are on a shallow section of the river, approx 4 ft deep, with dams at either end, perfect for floating and relaxing. Brand new hot tub with water views and stars at night. The outdoor kitchen is a fully remodeled 1961 Airstream food trailer kitchen with a flat top grill. There’s a giant grassy waterside yard with picnic tables and hammocks for playing and gathering.
Building Descriptions:
Watercolor House: colorful cleanly-remodeled 2 br 2 ba retro house with a river view deck, waterside dock, outdoor party pavilion with gas grill. The fully-stocked colorful kitchen has a breakfast area and a generous farm table for sitting and serving. Mattresses and pillows are fluffy and new, bathrooms are freshly tiled and clean. Huge bright bedrooms.
The Red Barn: is a brand new over-the-top media barn, 72” big screen, table shuffleboard for rousing competition, small party kitchen and full bath with shower. Sink into the giant sofa while popcorn pops in the carnival machine or gather round one of the many games, chosen by super-gamelovers. Sleeping loft upstairs with a generous Work-From-Home setup with high speed fiber.
Come enjoy this slice of joy in Ingram Texas, 15 min from Hunt and 15 min from Kerrville. How about sipping coffee on the waterside dock, or dangling your feet in the hill country creek? Maybe dominoes in the airstream while dinner cooks on the grill? Or maybe birdwatching with a beverage on the deck, where we watch Herons, Kingfishers, Owls, Hawks and hundreds of songbirds. Or dusk in a lawn chair watching the deer pick their way across the hill across the river.
As for the water, we have 200+ feet of waterfront with a dock and clear water for wading, paddle boating (provided), floating (tubes provided), or fishing (bring your own gear.) Flat bottom, approx 4 feet deep. No diving please. Our waterfront is at a low water crossing so occasional drivers will pass you by. We are in a rural neighborhood, but the lot is six acres, so there are no houses immediately next door.
It is a new listing but we are veteran owners who go above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect. You can check out our 88 five-star reviews at our original listing number 4436257
A Perfect Day at Watercolor House:
- Sleep late and enjoy a slow cup of coffee on the porch overlooking the river.
- Curl up with a book in the riverside hammock - read, nap, and enjoy the breeze.
- Jump in the river for a quick paddleboat ride or tubing float with your favorite people.
- Or sink into the massive sofa in the Media Barn for a surround sound movie event with the popcorn machine fired up.
- Or venture into town and check out the antiques in the Ingram Loop Stores.
- Grab a bottle of wine and a deck of cards or some dominoes and get a few games in before sunset.
- Flip burgers in the the Airstream kitchen for an evening of laughs and storytelling.
- Stage a party under the string lighted pavilion or drum up a serious tabletop shuffleboard match in the party barn.

About the host
Hosted by Genie and Randy Norris

We are Parents, Partners, Travelers, Designers, Business Owners, Lovers of Nature. We love this little slice of heaven, and are happy to be able to share it with you. Please come and enjoy as you would your own.
Genie grew up spending summers swinging off a rope swing into the Guadalupe in Hunt, TX. Randy grew up spending summers tubing the Guadalupe in New Braunfels. Their three kids, now adults, learned to fish, swim, and fossil hunt each summer in the Hill Country. The water here at Henderson Branch, the Cypress trees, the limestone cliff and constant breeze recall those special family times. This is a place to create our own memories, and for you to do the same.
