Perfect quiet getaway for a couple looking to relax and break away from the chaos of life. Blanco offers great food. Wish we had more time to spend there.
Great weekend getaway. The river was high enough to enjoy some paddling. We utilized one of the available kayaks and our inflatable SUP and went paddling south crossing the low water crossing road and a dam farther down. Really enjoyed the day on the water. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen and bathroom were well furnished.We would definitely stay here again.
It was such a wonderful trip! The house was perfect and the grounds so beautiful! Waking up each morning to see the deer on the property was such a blessing! Highly recommend to any couple needing a relaxing getaway.
this was a great weekend get away. the cabin is stocked with everything you need. town is not far away if you forgot anything. the Blanco river was low the weekend we stayed but we still enjoyed our time. I would definitely stay again.
This is the cutest little cabin with access to a the Blanco river. We wished we had had more time to explore the area and enjoy kayaking the river. The hosts were welcoming and friendly. And downtown Blanco has several really great restaurants and cute shops. We had intended not to spend much time in the town, but instead go visitng neighboring cities, but once we realized what Blanco had to offer, we decided to save the other cities for another trip and focus our time on Blanco. So lovely.

quiet and peaceful
the cabin is a wonderful get away. It comes fully stocked and ready for you to enjoy. we grilled some steaks out on the gas grill and just enjoyed the area. we were a bit disappointed that the river was so low, I would check on river flow if you were looking for water fun. we still managed to enjoy the surroundings. town is close by if you need anything and has a few restaurants. I defiantly would suggest the BBQ. If you are looking for a weekend get away this is a great option.
