We absolutely loved our stay at Ethyl’s Place! Deborah was a wonderful host, and communication was excellent from start to finish. The home was spotless, cozy, and full of charm, with so many thoughtful touches. We especially appreciated the delicious snacks she left for us! We were in town for a wedding in Johnson City, and the location was perfect. Such a cute and welcoming place to stay! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

We loved this place! The Hostess was fantastic, communicative, and went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of and happy. The home was spotless, and very comfortable. We were on the last three days of a trip from The panhandle to Big Bend to Fredericksburg, and Ethyls Place was the nicest place we stayed the whole trip. Quiet, but easy to get to, and Blanco is a wonderful town. If you are looking for a home away from home, this is it!

Everything about Ethyl’s Place is so well thought out and vibrates with the loving time, energy and creativity that was put into restoring this valuable little piece of Blanco History.
