About this property

Blanco River, Beautiful Valley, 6 Acres, Sleeps 11, Pool & Hot Tub.

River Info - If central Texas is experiencing a drought, the river level can be very low or dry. Good news is a very heavy rain storm can fill it up in one day. We are happy to answer any questions. It's a beautiful river valley.

Proudly Featured in "Texas Monthly" magazine. Blanco River Retreat Lodge is part of a larger, Luxury 5 Star property Vrbo property ID # 1682344. The Lodge is one of two houses on the property and we RARELY offer it for rent by itself, hence the few reviews. The second home will not be rented out during your reservation, so you have the property to yourself, including all the outdoor amenities.

The Blanco River Retreat Lodge is a renovated property situated on 6 riverfront, rolling acres nestled in the heart of the hill county between Wimberley and Blanco, Texas - within a 45 minute drive from most hill county destinations.

You will have private, easy access to 255 yards of the beautiful Blanco River - that's over 2 football fields long y'all.

Our Lodge is 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, featuring three suites with private entrances, plenty of entertaining space, and a recreational/bunk room or aka downstairs suite. Each bedroom has a king sized bed and a private full bathroom. The downstairs suite has a queen bed, twin bed, a queen pull-out sofa bed with a premium mattress, smart TV/DVD with Direct TV, wet bar, mini fridge, full bathroom, and direct access to outside pool area.

The living and kitchen areas are large and open - great for business meetings or relaxing with friend or family. Area has a half bath and big glass doors that open to the balcony where you have sweeping views of the Blanco River.

The kitchen has been updated with all major appliances and fully stocked with dishes, silverware, bar ware and serve ware. It also has a ice maker in the island and a wine refrigerator.

The property also features a large, resort style swimming pool, an over-sized hot tub large enough to seat 10 people, and a fire pit. Pool is not heated.

The views are amazing and you'll have private access to the Blanco river.

NOTE: There is one security camera on the property, which is mounted on the barn-house. Over 100 yards from the Lodge.

Our love and appreciation for the Blanco River and the surrounding Texas Hill Country is at the core of everything we do, and we want to share our little slice of heaven with, well, everyone! So we invite the river dippers, the belly laughers, the story tellers, the long pourers, the grill masters, the hammock nappers, the smores roasters, the horseshoe tossers, the live music listeners, the market day shoppers, the wine tasters, the wedding partiers, the birthday celebrators and all you city escapers . We welcome you all to come sit by the river and do what you do best with the people you love the most.

Fabulous getaway
Highly recommend this property for a wonderful getaway. Spacious, clean, beautiful, well-appointed home and grounds. Our family really enjoyed our time here and will definitely return. The owner is very reachable, provides very helpful information, is great to communicate with. We especially enjoyed the fire pit, the well-stocked kitchen and the large living/dining areas. Will be back!

Escape From It All
Looking for a place where my family (10 members from age 6-70) could safely gather during the pandemic, the Lodge at Blanco River Retreat was all I hoped it would be. Secluded, scenic, with more than enough gorgeous space, both inside and out, for us to talk, play games, comfortably cook and dine, both inside at a table at which 10 could dine comfortably, or on the deck outside. The grandchildren “lived” in the large pool and were able to play downstairs without having to worry about being “too noisy”. Bedroom accommodations, each with their own bath, were very comfortable, each decorated to reflect a love of the Texas Hill Country. Would love to come back when the river was at a higher level to be able to enjoy the kayaks and paddle board.

Wonderful river house retreat
We had an excellent time with family at the house. The communication was smooth, and property was lovely. Our boys enjoyed fishing in the river, lounging in the hammock and swimming in the pool and hot tub. Deer came by every evening.
