Our group of 18 had a wonderful stay in Blanco at the Blanco River Retreat. The pool, hot tub, and property amenities were fantastic and we will definitely be returning. This property truly feels like you are on your own 5-star ranch, but you are only 5-10 minutes from town. Highly recommend for medium to large groups looking to escape in the Hill Country.

This home on the Blanco River is gorgeous on a beautiful property, incredibly clean, and very close to Blanco. The main lodge kitchen, living room and porch are spacious and well-appointed. The bedrooms and bathrooms are incredibly comfortable, private and clean. We had deer come at every dusk. The home is just 10 minutes from the cute town of Blanco. Communication with Cathy was wonderful. Highly, highly recommend!

This was the third time we have stayed at Blanco River retreat. It was fabulous. It was perfect for our large family. Lots of room for kids to play and adults to relax. Enough room for us to prepare and enjoy Thanksgiving dinner. We are already looking to find dates for trip number 4.

I booked the Blanco River Retreat got my wedding party to stay at. There was plenty of room for everyone, the house was super clean and comfortable and the host, Cathy was very responsive to any questions I had. As I had a full weekend planned for my wedding, my party did not get to enjoy all of the amenities such as the pool but they did say it was beautiful and a few want to book for upcoming family events for their families or friends. Would book again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Cathy!

Blanco Retreat

Our family reunion of siblings /spouses found the retreat property a perfect setting for a quiet weekend of togetherness. The house(s) were extremely well appointed, leaving nothing to want. The location was central and convenient to many of the desirable Hill Country excursions and nearby Blanco’s quaintness and chill Vibe was perfect. Great communication and accurate property listing.

Perfect size and space for our group of 13

Management staff was very accessible and solved/answered our problems/questions before and during our stay. Bedrooms were a little cold. Space was great and the house was so comfortable we didn't feel the need to leave to entire three days we were there.

Wonderful family experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. We had 20 family and friends and we were able to gather communally easily and yet plenty of places for folks to also have private space. Easy to cook for the group in the gorgeous kitchen which was equipped with everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, pool was just as nice as the online pics, and the outdoor spaces were great. Sad that the river was still dry this year but lovely views from every window and deck.

Celebrated my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary and we had a large group. The houses were very clean and the property is well maintained. You get beautiful sunsets and the river canyon wall as your backdrop every day is really incredible. The pool is very large and there’s a great sun deck in the pool for little ones to play. The hot tub is big and works with a remote and is easy to operate. The outdoor grill worked great and is hooked up to natural gas line. And the large double range and oven make it easy to cook and entertain. The host is very helpful and friendly as well. It was a great trip and everyone is raving about all the memories we made and fun that we had. 5 stars. Highly recommend.

Blanco River Retreat - TEAM OFFSITE

We held our annual 15-member work team offsite at Blanco River Retreat. The place is nicely decorated, with lots of space and set of amenities, including large pool, jacuzzi, campfire ring, ping pong, spacious porch that overlooks a meadow where we saw a herd of deer grazing each morning. A truly relaxing setting. The owner was always quick to respond when we had questions and even made arrangements for us to have an onsite yoga class, which was a highlight of our stay.

Loved This House!

Our family had a wonderful time at Blanco River Retreat! There was plenty of room for our large family to hang out, play games, and spend much needed time together. Both houses were lovely and well stocked with anything and everything we needed! Both had comfortable beds, plenty of towels, and all of the kitchen items you could want. There are so many things to do and see on this beautiful property. We spent most of our time enjoying the pool and large hot tub. If we weren’t swimming, we were playing ping pong, making s’mores in the fire pit, or just relaxing and watching the deer. Cathy was a wonderful host and answered any questions we had immediately. We all wanted to stay longer and hope to come again soon!

Perfect Place for Coporate Retreat

This place is perfect for our corporate retreat. We had our planiing, soeakers and exercises in the lodge and our leadership team also stayed at the lodge. The barn and the downstairs at the lodge was perfect for everyone else. We all especially enjoyed the architecture of the two homes. The pool area was also nice and looked great at night. We also enjoyed all if the deer. The manager was kind, checked in often and had a nice note and bottle of wine for us. Would have been great if if there was water in the creek yet nonetheless it was a great experience and wed stay again. Wed love to see tbe owner build another guest house with 3 to 4 more bedrooms on the same property. Only other nice touch cpuld be some steing lights in front and back for more light. Thanks for everything.

Family Christmas

I cannot say enough about how fantastic this place is!! We gathered for Christmas to honor 4 generations and it was more special than I even imagined. The kitchen was incredibly equipped!! We had everything we needed to prepare, cook, & serve 20 of us. In fact, the best set up I’ve had with any house I’ve rented. The host was available for all we needed, and prioritized the importance of our stay. The beds, the amenities, the property itself was so comfortable and accessible. From our family kickball game, to fire pit chats, to hot tub use….there was more than enough to make our time together truly special. I would love to rent again in the summer and be able to use the pool! It’s a beautiful place!! Thank you Cathy for all you’ve done to make this an experience! We’ll be back!
