About this property
Rockin' B Ranch Bluff House
Nestled in the beautiful Texas Hill Country just minutes from Boerne and Bandera.
When it comes to waterfront vacation rentals in the Texas Hill Country, the Bluff House at Rockin' B Ranch stands tall among the best! Its elevated hillside perch allows for some of the best views of the gorgeous countryside. The creek on this 55-acre ranch sets the stage for fun and relaxing water activities, and the knockout amenities in the house-including a hot tub with amazing mountain views-makes it a perfect location for family getaways and retreats. You have to see it to believe it!
This kid- and pet-friendly space is one of our top picks for family vacations in Texas! You'll be surrounded by the natural splendor of the Hill Country, and the shopping, night life, and food of towns like Bandera, Pipe Creek, and Boerne are all just short drives away. Whatever's on your vacation checklist, the Bluff House will satisfy everyone you bring along!
Fish, hike, swim, and even use the available kayaks on the creek on the property, or just relax on the spacious decks that offer eye-popping elevated views of the Hill Country. Wildlife and birds abound, and the skies are perfect for stargazing on crystal-clear Texas nights. There's a fire pit and charcoal grill on hand for socializing and cookouts, and there's no better spot to relax in than the hot tub, right on the hillside! Smoking is fine here, as long as you keep it outside. Since creek depth is seasonal, please ask us about its status when you book.
Most of our guests gasp with surprise when they step inside for the first time! The living area has two walls of two-story windows that bring the stunning views indoors. Barn board and hardwood highlights fill the entire house, and central air, heat, and ceiling fans keep the whole space comfy. Two bedrooms feature one king bed and two queens, and a sleeper sofa that sleeps two rounds out comfortable sleeping arrangements for up to eight people.. There's a well-appointed kitchen, and a washer/dryer combo is also available. The two full baths both have showers, and the upstairs one includes a tub, as well. All bed and bath linens are provided for your stay. Finally, there's a smart TV installed with 40 free channels, Roku and a DVD player, and WIFI Internet service.
Rockin B has 4 houses on the property. Family reunions and retreats for up to 26 guests are easily accommodated at the Creek View Barndominium, Summit House, Bluff House and the Love Shack spread across the 55 acres.

The location is close to several different towns to go do things and eat lots of different foods. Then when you are done you can go back and relax inside or outside the house with all the beautiful views and things to do around there.

Thanks for the great feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the location and all the dining options. It sounds like you had a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation! Come back anytime!
Bluff house was perfect for our family! The views were amazing and the home was well stocked with everything we needed. Kids loved the hot tub and s’mores from the outdoor fire pit. If you’re looking for a peaceful weekend getaway that’s close to Boerne and Bandera, this is your place!
Highly recommend !!!

Thanks for the feedback! We're delighted your family enjoyed the Bluff House and its amenities. Appreciate the recommendation!
To start, the view is to die for. Though the house was slightly outdated and there wasnt much privacy between rooms (both were loft-like), we really enjoyed our stay.
Owner communication was great. They were very friendly and responsive.
This house blew us away. Never before had any of us stayed in a place with so many amenities. It's comfy, it's giant, it's peaceful, it's lovely. The location was quiet and secluded, but in close enough proximity to Boerne and Bandera. Thanks Spencer!
We came here for the intent of not doing anything, yes it was hot but we are from Houston and it’s a different kind of heat there we were able to hang out outside all day or in the hot tub.The views you get from the hot tub you can’t get anywhere else.
My family of five absolutely loved this home. The views were amazing. We loved the hot tub and the beds were comfy. The location was perfect to neighboring towns. The kitchen had just what we needed as well and we loved walking the grounds. The only thing to note is that there aren’t ceilings for the living room and bedrooms, like a loft, so be aware of that with kids. We all went to bed at the same time so it worked for us! We would love to come back!
The local "creek" is down the hill (not on the property) , and is very pretty but it is a lake not a flowing river so the water isn't anything like the Frio river, for example. Other than that, everything was very nice.

Thanks for the feedback. But to clarify, we market the property as having a spring fed stream, not a river. And it may be down a hill from the house, but it is on the property. Glad you enjoyed the stay!
My wife and two daughters had a great time. The house has spectacular views of the hills with large windows facing the sunset. We enjoyed fishing at the creek, grilling, and relaxing in the hot tub at night. Nearby Boerne has several good restaurants and we visited A Cave Without a Name. The only thing we needed to do was buy a pack of playing cards, which we left at the house for future visitors. The owners were very kind & responsive. I would definitely book again, especially if we get some much needed rainfall.

Not Pet Friendly
During initial communication, I indicated that I was bringing our cat. There was no objection to this. After our arrival, we went to dinner. When we returned, we realized that the attic wasn’t closed off and our cat was in there. It was an open and exposed space. There was no way to keep her out of there. The next morning she came down covered in insulation. We packed up and asked for a refund on the remaining charges. Spencer denied this saying that cats are not allowed. I told him that this is not stated in the Vrbo listing. So we took the monetary hit.

When a guest reserves a home with us, they have the option to add a pet. You didn't do that. We were not made aware of your cat and we're not certain what "initial communication" you are referring to. You asked for an early check in and arrived before 3:00, giving you plenty of time to notice the exposed beams in the home. You didn't express any concern at that time. The next day, you contacted us and told us you were concerned about your cats safety with an exposed beam ceiling and that you were not made aware of that house feature (Its an industrial-designed open ceiling duct system). We pointed you to the pictures on the website showing the beams, as well as a very descriptive caption, "Natural light from the loft illuminates the gorgeous vaulted and beamed ceilings!" We also offered to bring you a large pet carrier, which you refused. And we never charged you any pet fees. We have never had one complaint about the exposed beam ceilings. This review is ridiculous to anyone who reads it.
stunning location, peaceful and quiet. when you first enter, you go wow!!!! the main room is stunning and so it the patio.We loved the grounds, walking down to the creek even though there was very little water this time of year (spring break). We loved the serenity and never slept better!Janice the owner has been extremely helful to deal with all the issued we faced. Now it should be very clear that it is LOFT LIKE, which means there is no real intimacy / privacy in any of the bedrooms: it's basically one large space for the entire cabin. if one is awake, all are awake.
Beautiful location and very comfortable stay. We were sad the hot tub was not ready for immediate use upon arrival, and we did have issues with the hot tub thermostat as it did not seem to be accurate. However, we worked around that and had a fantastic time at Pipe Creek 🤗
This was just what our family needed. Peaceful, beautiful view, fishing, kayaking, and time together away from the typical busy life. The ping pong table was a hit with our competitiveness 😆!
We would love to come back!
If you're looking for a place to escape for a long weekend this is a great place to go. Clean house and beautiful land. Close to Boerne too. Thank you!
Beautifully furnished, amazing natural light and a dozen things to do while staying at the property. Wonderful experience overall. Thanks for letting me stay!
The property was amazing and perfectly situated. Far enough and secluded but close enough to town to replenish our food needs. Also Bourne was such a cool little town to visit. Views were amazing and we were able to relax and reset ourselves. Loved it!!
Excellent property! It’s an awesome place to unplug and unwind. Great deck with a view and a hot tub to finish the day with a good soak. Oh, the private fishing spot is really, really awesome.
everything kids will love...feeding horses, hiking, swimming in the creek, kayaking, swimming in the jacuzzi, ping pong, homemade meals, and great cuddle time in the open kitchen/family room layout watching movies together! Just what we needed!
Our family of four had a wonderful getaway to this lovely home. The Hill Country breezes kept us cool and the mosquitoes away. Janice and her fiancee were very accommodating and helpful. We had a fantastic time. We enjoyed the creek and were able to fish, swim, and kayak. We highly recommend this property. Our only caveat is that the house is one of 4 located on the 55-acre property and the creek is shared. It was never a problem for us but I imagine if all 4 houses are fully rented there may be some time when its hard to physically distance on the dock. That being said we enjoyed our time there and would recommend it.
We really enjoyed our shelter in “another” place vacation. Teenage boys enjoyed the kayaks and ping pong. Two small dogs had vacation of their dreams. Nightly grilling and camp fire were a great family experience.
Stayed here for a short weekend getaway and absolutely loved the property. Plenty of room for family and pets. Great views, very clean place and an awesome hot tub. Property was just a short drive to Boerne where we got a chance to do some shopping before coming back home to a quiet and relaxing hill country evening.
