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!
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! River runs through the back yard! House was excellent and everyone enjoyed their stay. Beds were very comfortable as well!
We enjoyed our stay in Blanco. Great location! I had a wedding to attend in Dripping Springs and it was a short drive to the venue. We enjoyed the hot tub and pool and the outside green area.
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!
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.
This house was fabulous. Pictures are legit. It had everything we needed. Was in a great location close to everywhere we wanted to travel. The host were on touch and extremely responsive. Highly recommend for a relaxing but still very nicely done home getaway!!!
Best place to stay in the Hill country. Exceeded our expectations - very clean, supplied with everything you need. House is nicely furnished both inside and out. Highly recommend!
This was such a great property. The whole house is laid out well, open and airy. The outdoor space is large and we loved the privacy of the "off the beaten path" location.
Thank you for a great stay! It was so relaxing.
The property was fantastic and we will definitely be back.
Great communication. They went above and beyond for their guests. THANK YOU
Beautiful house! Perfect for our 3 day weekend exploring Blanco and the surrounding area. Paul and Sarah were always on hand if we needed anything. Definitely will stay here again.
This house is beautifully furnished, and has with comfortable beds. The deck has great seating and dining options. The location couldn’t be better for exploring the towns all around the Hill Country. I would definitely stay at this property again and will recommend it to my friends.
The property is beautiful! The house is very nice and so comfortable. It’s in a great location and communication with the property owner was easy and great. Definitely want to come back! We loved that it was on the river, great place to stay.

Thank you
Perfect getaway spot. Enjoyed being out in nature. The house was very clean and supplied so much. Owner was very friendly. We were definitely amazed and loved our stay. Thank you.
We visited for our son’s wedding in Blanco. I can’t say enough good things about the house and the host Paul. 5 stars plus. What a great experience. We will definitely be back
Paul could not have been a more perfect host, in touch along the way. House was exactly as described, very comfortable and inviting. Great location to be able to explore in different directions. Well appointed kitchen with a beautiful view of the creek where deer traveled every morning and evening. Large patio with cozy fire pit for 6. Definitely recommend and will check availability the next time we're in the area.
We stayed here for a family vacation and loved it. The house is so well equipped and the amenities are above and beyond - fully stocked kitchen, sound machines in every room, robes, face masks, full size bottles of product in the bathroom. Lots of activities indoors and back deck is great for entertaining little kids and adults! We will definitely be returning.
