About this property

Hunt Vacation House - a Family Getaway with Guadalupe River Park in Hunt, Texas

Our house and our property were safe, but the destruction of the July 4, 2025 Guadalupe River flood is evident and will be for quite some time. We have blocked July 4, 2026 to ensure quiet time for our neighbors wanting peace and solitude on the anniversary of the flood. I haven't entirely updated our listing yet with a new description or photos. It's still a beautiful area, and recovery is slowly happening. We invite you to stay with us, but please be aware that many people here are still hurting.

Hunt Vacation House is a beautiful family sized home with easy Guadalupe River access, a two minute walk to our gated community river park. This is the perfect place to enjoy the beauty and serenity of the Texas Hill Country. We’re ten minutes west of Hunt – convenient to both summer camps and off-season activities.

The house is high enough on the hill to be safe, yet it's just a short hike down the trail (it's a bit of a goat trail, but the river is 600 feet from the front door) and across Highway 39 to our Marymeade community river park. There are some new trees and grass planted and the new fence is up. New picnic tables are appearing thanks to a neighbor who is building them. And the kayak rack that survived the flood is full again. The river is about 3 feet deep in front of our dock and shallower on either side for little kiddos to wade in or to put in kayaks.

The house will sleep nine including children: There is a queen bed and newly renovated bathroom with rain shower in the primary. The upstairs bedroom has its own balcony and private (also newly renovated) bathroom with shower. The middle two bedrooms have a trundle bed (2 singles - great for kids), a single and double bed and share a beautiful new bath with laundry room.

The dining area seats eight – six at the table and two at the breakfast bar, it's a little tight for that many, but we mostly eat outside on the picnic table anyway. The family room has a high beam ceiling and a glass-paned door with sidelights to enjoy the view and let the breeze in. If you can’t leave your technology at home there is wireless internet and satellite TV. The house has every amenity needed for a comfortable stay (oven, fridge, dishwasher, fresh linens, etc). Just bring some groceries, a bathing suit and free time to enjoy it! Internet is fast fiber optic if you need to work remotely.

Outside we have two spacious decks with Hill Country views. Drink your morning coffee on the side deck and watch the sunrise. Enjoy an evening glass of wine while star gazing on the front deck. We saw the space station last night! There is a hammock, a porch swing, and outside eating area with gas grill. There is a herd of axis deer that visits us most mornings. Guests often see deer or fox passing through the yard or on the ranch property next to us. Yesterday it was a flock of wild turkeys.

Come stay with us and enjoy a bit of Hill Country peace and quiet with Guadalupe River access!

Dogs considered individually: We understand that pets are a part of the family. At the same time, we have to keep in mind that guests with allergies cannot tolerate any trace of a pet in the house. Dogs will be allowed on prior approval only with a pet charge of $50. No cats. Pet fees will be due via an additional payment request if you use the Instant Booking option.

Verizon & ATT cell service can be spotty at the house (connect to wifi and it's fine), but there is no cell service at the river park or on most of the road from Hunt.

Thanks y'all,
Michelle & Danny
Hunt Vacation House Family

About the host

Hosted by Michelle

Host profile image
Danny grew up in Del Rio and San Antonio and has family in and around Kerrville. He introduced Michelle to Texas Hill Country in Hunt. The area is a great reminder of Michelle's ranching roots in western South Dakota. We both fell in love with the Guadalupe River and it's beautiful cypress tree canopy on one of Michelle's first visits to Hill Country.

We live full time in Greenbank, Washington and plan to spend more time each year at our home in Hunt.

Why they chose this property

We love the Hunt area and the Guadalupe River! We stayed at many vacation rentals in the area before we decided we want to retire here. The accessibility of the river park without the riverside price was what drew us to this particular house. It feels so private - other riverside rentals we stayed in have neighbors right next door or multiple rentals on-site. Even though we're in a subdivision - it feels like we're out in the country. The previous owner's western decor made it feel homey right away and - did we mention - the Guadalupe River is just down the trail?

What makes this property unique

One of the things we most look forward to when staying at our Hunt vacation house is family gatherings on the huge deck. After all the years of living away and counting on someone else to hold a get together when we visit - we finally get to host them! Another favorite & practically nightly activity is star gazing on the front porch with a glass of wine. There is so little light interference out here that the stars are amazingly bright!
