About this property
Unique Stay: Historic Home Along Blanco River
Welcome to 'The Paper House,' a 1-bedroom, 1-bath cabin that boasts an abundance of history and no shortage of picturesque scenery. Some one-of-a-kind details you'll find on-site include original stonework sourced from rocks in the Blanco River, wood-beam ceilings from the surrounding cedars, and a stunning limestone fireplace. In your backyard, choose to paddle along the river, go for a leisurely stroll among the trees, or venture out and explore Blanco's parks, trails, museums, and wineries.
