In May you may be lucky to spot beautiful pink roses growing on the dam - out of the reach of hungry deer. One day an elderly woman greeted my friend at the creek, explaining that she had grown up there, swimming and playing on hot summer days, long before any of us discovered this paradise. She explained that her father had planted those roses, some ninety years previous, in the perfect spot apparently as they are thriving there today. We named this special place after her and her daddy's roses, so named The River Rose Retreat, where you and yours can drink in the unique and restorative smells, sounds, and eye candy, the absolute best of the Texas hill country.
This listing is for the whole property of the River Rose Retreat. There are two houses, a small casalita and a bunkhouse. We also rent individually but provide a reduced price for renting the whole property. Martha has unique colorful style that gives the property a fun vacation feel. The property is situated on the seasonal Lone Man Creek with many outdoor sitting areas, fire pit and multiple bbq pits. This would be a great location for small family/friend/group get togethers or workshops. We have creek views, access and a dammed private swimming hole.
