There are several areas of interest in the surrounding area to explore in which a car would be necessary.

******************Please Note********************
• Smoking, of any kind, is strictly forbidden on the entire property- inside & outside, and all trash needs to be properly disposed of.
• We will email you a Rental Release Agreement after booking. This agreement must be signed within 48 hours of booking. Reservations may be canceled if the agreement is not signed. This correspondence will occur through our Channel Manager Guesty.
• A Security Deposit, of $300, must be paid prior to check-in and are refunded within 7 days of check-out, provided there are no damages to the property. Security deposit & rental agreement will be sent after the booking is confirmed.
• We can host a maximum of 11 guests (including all adults, children & infants)- for safety (fire & insurance) reasons, we cannot hold any additional guests.
• All amenities including outdoor furniture, wifi, etc are fully inspected prior to every check-in, however, we cannot guarantee their working condition during stays.
• We look forward to hosting all our upcoming guests. Our cleaning team is going above and beyond to provide top-notch services, giving special attention to high-touch areas, using commercial-grade anti-microbial agents, and having bed sheets and bath towels professionally laundered between each guest's stay. However, no guarantee will be made that our properties are "completely sterile" or "COVID-free", just as no other business can reasonably make that claim. Guests are advised to travel and stay with us at their discretion.
• We do not offer rescheduled stays or refunds on cancellations outside of Airbnb's extenuating circumstances policy. We strongly encourage you to purchase travel insurance at the time of booking if you are concerned about the possibility of canceling your trip last minute. Travel insurance is inexpensive and a great way to protect your funds in the event of an unforeseeable cancellation. We understand that last-minute cancellations for guests who choose to not purchase travel insurance can be a burden, however, we are required to uphold our owners' cancellation policies to protect their only sources of income and keep their properties in the business. Please book responsibly and we appreciate your understanding.

About the host
Hosted by J. Boyd and Kelsea Vaughan
Howdy! We are James and Kelsea Vaughan. Together with our parents, Phyllis and Clayton, we own Blanco River Lodges, a 5-home short-term rental property on the Blanco River. We love the outdoors and can't wait to share our home away from home with you.
Why they chose this property
We are close to all the action. With 6 wedding venues in a 2-mile radius, Circut of the Americas, and San Marcos Outlets we have so many adventures to offer your family and friends. No matter what brings you to town we can offer a quiet and relaxing getaway.
What makes this property unique
Avoid the hustle and bustle of river crowds and relax on The Blanco in peace.
