Guest Access:
Our property is gated and there is a large hill down to the three cabins. Please be advised that you will need to climb a few stairs to get to River Ryder from the parking area. The Jameson and B's Bunkhouse have two stairs to access the deck to the front door.
The Neighborhood:
★ “My family and I absolutely loved the cabins! They were so nice and comfortable! Located a mile from the venue that my son got married at which made it so much easier on us!”
The property is located just outside the city limits of Kyle, Texas, along the Blanco River. Our property contains three cabins with private river access to the Blanco River. All of the land in between the cabins and the river is available for your enjoyment.
The neighborhood near the Blanco River is family-friendly, featuring modern homes and easy access to schools and parks. It offers a suburban atmosphere with nearby shopping, dining, and recreational facilities. The presence of Blanco Vista Elementary, Laura B Wallace Middle School, and Jack C Hays High School makes it an attractive area for families with children.
Getting Around:
A car is best suited for transportation to our property. Uber and Lyft are available, but they are not as reliable in recent months. We are approximate:
30 mins to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport,
55 mins to San Antonio International Airport, and
30 mins from New Braunfels.
There are several areas of interest in the surrounding area to explore in which a car would be necessary.
The cabins are approximate:
1 mile to Texas Old Town, and Thistlewood Manor,
3 mins to Downtown Kyle,
25 mins to Downtown Wimberley for great local shopping,
15 mins to the San Marcos Outlet Mall,
25 mins to The Salt Lick in Driftwood, and
30 mins to Downtown Austin.
