About this property

Playground for All Ages! Private Waterfront, Pool, Outdoor Kitchen and Fire pit

Private lush waterfront, rambling waterside porches, firepits and year-round hot tub. Tubes provided for floating and relaxing. Covered designer pool (no sunblock, swim in all weather!). Premium beds in 5 large bedrooms, 4 of which have seating areas. Outdoor kitchen with large Weber gas grill and Green Egg. Fun colorful home, steps from the water's edge, recently remodeled for comfort and convenience. Kitchen is stocked for large groups and creative cooking. Four cozy fireplaces, games galore, and wildlife to watch. Fresh linens and new wood floors. Brand new memory foam mattresses on fold-outs. Come and enjoy this slice of happiness. (Sleeps 18 in beds.) Located in Ingram, Texas, 15 minutes from Kerrville and 15 minutes from Hunt.

Consistently we hear something like "There is something for every age. And so much room to spread out. We had special family time together, yet we each had the space to escape and read a book." Additional 20 acres across the creek for hillside hiking . Family Patio adjacent to outdoor kitchen and pool, is a favorite spot for watching the sunset across the butterfly garden, while pitching horseshoes and washers nearby. We supply binoculars to spy the Green Herons, Belted Kingfishers, Eastern Bluebirds, Vermillion Flycatchers and more.

And of course the water's edge. There's nothing like watching the wide river go by, drinking your morning coffee beneath towering Cypress Trees. When you're ready to jump in, there's a supply of inner tubes, along with a paddleboat and canoe. Catch and release fishing (please bring your own gear.) More than once we've gotten calls from folks who want to stay another night. It's our goal to make it your family home away from home, a little bit of heaven in the Hill Country.

Note about the quirky floorpan and breezeway hallways: The floorpan is a traditional Spanish style shotgun house. There is no hallway indoors, so that every room is the full width of the house (and has a water view). Each room has its own entrance. The "hallways" are the giant covered porches that run the length of both sides of the house. You can think of it as a plush waterside motor-court -motel format. Folks enjoy it and love that their rooms are expansive. Some groups leave all the connecting room doors open and traverse through, but our family likes each room to be a cozy haven, so we use the porch hallways when we are together there. It's your call.

A Covid note: We are lucky to have a cleaning crew that has commercial clients and has been implementing disinfecting procedures for a long time. We are also:
-Leaving 2 unrented days between rentals.
-Leaving (screened) windows open as much as possible between stays
-Social distancing (at least 6 ft) and masking at check-in upon request
-Instructing our laundry service to use the highest heat as possible on sheets and towels
-If you prefer and let us know ahead of time, we will not put the linens out ourselves, but will leave the linens in their laundry-service wrapping for you to open and use.
-Providing all of our private 30 acres in the beautiful hill country air to hike and breathe deep!
Take care y'all.

Paradise
This was our second time to stay at edgewater this year! This is our family’s favorite vrbo ever. Every year we take a vacation with our kids and grandkids to a water destination. We have finally found our home away from home and will return every year! Every amenity is perfect! And the whole family loves it. Plenty of room for our family of 14! Thank you again sharing your beautiful river home Genie and Randy! P.S. the kitchen redo is fantastic!

Best vacation ever!!
Our family (8 adults, 4 teenagers and four 6-10 year old children) stayed one hot week in July. We previously stayed at beach homes in South Carolina and Florida. This was everyone’s favorite. Not only did the host leave a welcome basket of fun and essential items, but it’s the first home we’ve stayed in that supplied so much: a stack of inner tubes of varying sizes, sheets that looked like new, every appliance and serving piece you would need, multiple sets of dishes, glassware and utensils and even an entire set of Cutco knives! I love cooking on our family vacations and typically bring 3 of my Cutco knives (this year they stayed packed on my suitcase! We loved eating together on the porch by the water as well as in the grilling area. The outdoor kitchen is great for fixing breakfasts (2 griddles make a quick job of fixing bacon and pancakes for a crowd) The family loved the rope swing and paddle boat as well as the pool. Yard games were a hit on the lawn while watching sunsets. My adult son took the kids on hikes and helped them find fossils…they can’t wait for show and tell at school. My husband helped the little ones catch fish (and release) and he caught a large bass that he also released. We took three day trips to the slide and rope swing at Ingram dam, Landa Park for swimming, water slide and rope swing from a platform, and to Garner State Park.., our favorite (get your day pass early…a month before)!

Best 70th Birthday Party
This property is Amazing. So much to do - playing in the creek with a rope swing, paddle boat, canoe, swimming pool so awesome, outdoor kitchen was perfect for grilling, smokeless fire pit to sit around at night, fishing, tons of seating areas and arrangements, outside fans everywhere, game room with lots of fun stuff to enjoy… the list goes one. This was my 70th birthday party with adult kids and grandkids and we all had a total blast. And with the attention to detail from the host of this property we felt very spoiled. Everyone already wanting to make plan again for this - again - awesome property and hosts ❣️ Thank you Genie and Randy.

About the host

Hosted by Genie and Randy Norris

Host profile image
We are Parents, Partners, Travelers, Designers, Lovers of Nature. We love this little slice of heaven, and are happy to be able to share it with you. Please come and enjoy as you would your own.

Why they chose this property

Genie grew up spending summers swinging off a ropeswing into the Guadalupe in Hunt, TX. Randy grew up spending summers tubing the Guadalupe in New Braunfels. The water here at Henderson Branch, the Cypress trees, the limestone cliff and constant breeze recall those special family times. This is a place to create our own memories, and for you to do the same.

What makes this property unique

The land is private and peaceful. The river continually flows, the sound of the waterfall humming. Fireflies swarm on summer nights and a hawk nests on the opposite bank. Miraculously, St.Augustine grass has grown on the wide riverbanks for years, creating a soft carpet and a verdant vista. The house has three fireplaces for cozy winter visits, brisk walks, and lots of games. Visitors step out of the car and feel instantly relaxed. Come and see.
