Should have stayed longer!
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.

Family weekend
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.

Nice time in Blanco
We used this property as a staring point to go to the state parks in the area. For proximity to the parks, it is great. As for the property itself, it was like staying at a new house as they did a great job with the remodel. Very well decorated and clean. Outdoor space was great, and there some outdoor games the kids enjoyed. It is just off a busy road, but I only noticed run the morning - and if that is a bother the are white noise machines provided. It does sit on the river - but depending on time of year, the river may not be flowing - so if that is important to you I would check before booking. There are good fishing spots 5 minutes away, and at Blanco state park. Enjoyed it and would stay again!!

Perfect Country Getaway
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.

Absolutely Amazing!
This rental exceeded every expectation. We stay at a variety of rentals each year and I have never been as impressed with the furnishings, mattresses, decorations and accommodations. It has a very spa like feel from lotions and aromatherapy sprays to robes and sound machines. My young boys absolutely loved going down to the river and finding rocks and watching the deer. We all loved the patio and fire pit. The host was wonderful and available for any questions we had. We will most definetly be back!

Exceeded expectations in every way. Easy Check in, reasonable fees, very clean quiet property in the country. Huge deck with multitude of seating options. Lots of little extras that were unexpected, slippers, robes, coffee, condiments, too many to list. Comfortable new mattresses, beautiful fireplace and living room / gathering area.
