SPACES TO GATHER. MEMORIES TO MAKE!
Room to Relax
With over 2300 sq ft of space, there’s plenty of room for everyone to spread out and find their perfect spot.
★ "Beautiful house. Lots of space." --Melanie
Backyard Oasis
Imagine chilling under a big pecan tree strung with solar lanterns lighting up the evening, the sound of an artificial creek in the background, and a hot tub waiting to soak your worries away. Sounds good? We thought so too.
★ "I could live in the backyard, it is straight out of a magazine!" --Wendy
Game Room
Turn the competition up in our game room. It’s a garage turned into the ultimate hangout spot with an arcade cabinet with classic games, ping pong, arcade basketball hoop game, game table, 65-inch TV, and yes, it’s got AC for those hot Texas days (and heating for the chilly ones)!
Stay Connected to Work
Need to stay on top of work or homework? We’ve got you covered with speedy Wi-Fi and and two work spaces equipped with HDMI/USB-C monitors for remote work or study.
A ROOM FOR EVERYONE
Four well-appointed bedrooms, designed for comfort and relaxation.
• Bedroom 1: King bed, ensuite bathroom, rear deck access
• Bedroom 2: Queen bed, upstairs, accessible only through the primary bedroom
• Bedroom 3: King bed, separate exterior door to driveway
• Bedroom 4: Queen bed
• Extras: Air mattress, pack n’ play for the little ones
★ "...the beds (and pillows!!) were extremely comfortable (and I’m a harsh critic of beds)." --Caroline
Two distinct bathrooms, each with its own character.
• Bathroom 1: The modern luxury bathroom with a large shower, Jacuzzi tub, and double vanity
• Bathroom 2: Maintaining the original 1930s charm, this cozier space features a tub/shower
COOKING AND DINING
• Fully Equipped Kitchen: Featuring modern appliances, granite countertops, and items to cook and serve meals.
• Dining Room: A spacious table seats eight comfortably, perfect for memorable group meals.
• Coffee Station: Keurig, pot, french press, and pour-over coffee maker plus starter amounts of K-cups, instant coffee, and tea.
★ "...the kitchen is wonderfully stocked and the dining room provided a great spot to enjoy dinner together." --Penny
OUTDOOR ENJOYMENT
The home's backyard is a true gem, offering a variety of features for relaxation and enjoyment:
• Various Seating Options: Perfect for relaxation and bonding at any time of the day.

• Screened-In Porch: Offers comfortable outdoor seating and dining spaces.
• Hot Tub: Melt away the stresses of the day.

About the host
Hosted by Vince

Hi, I'm Vince, the founder of 32 Lights Vacation Homes. My journey with Kerrville began many years ago while I was dating my now-wife. We quickly fell in love with the area's charm and natural beauty. Each visit deepened our connection to Kerrville, culminating in a memorable engagement on the banks of the Guadalupe River.
As our family started to grow, we felt a strong pull to put down roots in Kerrville. We wanted not only to enjoy its beauty ourselves but also to share it with others. This desire led us to purchase a home here, one that captivated us from the start, particularly its magical and private backyard – an ideal spot for families and friends to gather.
Driven by our passion for modern technology, we designed the home with the latest amenities, marrying the classic allure of the Hill Country with contemporary comforts. This home is our way of offering a relaxing haven to guests who wish to experience the tranquility and charm of Kerrville.
The home holds a special place in our hearts. We cherish every moment we've spent here and are excited to share this wonderful place and its surrounding area with you. We hope you'll find as much joy and peace here as we have!

Additionally, the location boasts easy access to major roads, making it a breeze to explore the surrounding area. Whether you're here to relax or explore, our home provides the ideal starting point for all your adventures.
