Laura’s house was so spacious and well appointed. She gave us an early checkin and late checkout and was incredibly responsive. The highlights were the Texas-shaped pools, gathering spaces, luxurious bedding, and plenty of beds to spread out in!
We had such a wonderful stay and made so many special family memories here! We have a large family and gather every year for our annual family reunion, so finding a property that can truly accommodate all of us can be difficult. We were thrilled to find this beautiful home!The property is absolutely gorgeous and feels very private, with plenty of space between neighbors and private access to the river. At the same time, it was close enough to Blanco that we could easily run into town for groceries or make a quick trip to the coffee shop.What we appreciated most was how well the home accommodated our family. Everyone had a bed to sleep in and there was also plenty of indoor space for all of us to gather together, especially in the dining and living areas. We had some rainy weather during our stay, but the size and layout of the house meant it didn’t put a damper on our trip at all. The game room was a hit, and there was plenty of table space for puzzles, games, meals, and just spending time together.Outside, there was something for everyone. The kids loved swimming in the pool, fishing, flying kites, playing cornhole, making smores and enjoying the river. It really had all the right spaces for us to do the things we love doing together as a family. One small negative was the stickers in the grassy area around the property which made it difficult for our smaller kiddos and tracking in the house. Overall we would ABSOLUTELY recommend this property!!!
Such an exceptional home! So many things to do and so much room for my big family. Such a comfy feeling. Exceptional bedding. Private. Loved the firepit. Made beautiful memories with my family. Host was attentive.
Host was easy to communicate with. Perfect for a family. Lots of activities for kids. Unfortunately the Blanco River was dry but the kids had fun playing in the rocks. If you plan to do a lot of cooking you may want to bring your own utensils. They have many but they are quiet warn out. I highly recommend this property for a family or large group.
Absolutely amazing in every way! Views were gorgeous. The pictures in the listing don’t do justice. Highly recommend for a family or friend gathering. Everything was very clean and the owner communication was top notch. Huge thank you for a wonderful stay!
Our stay at the Blanco Valley Lodge was incredible! We were celebrating my husband’s 70th birthday with our kids and grandkids. There was something for everyone! The updated and renovated house was perfect!
Great place to stay. Plenty of room to roam. Everything you could ask for in a place for a large family or group. Everything you need for all ages & activities.
This place was absolutely amazing!! We took our youth group and everyone loved it! So much to do and the responses to questions we had was always prompt! Great vacation home!
Absolute gorgeous property!! This home accommodated family and friends for a college graduation celebration. The isolated location made for a peaceful retreat yet still only 8 minutes away from the main town. Highly recommend for large gatherings with each room providing multiple beds and perfect for multiple families. Laura is a gracious host and very responsive to any concerns or requests. Would love to stay here again!
Beautiful house Would recommend this property without hesitation. Excellent contact with owners who continually Asked if we needed anything. Truly enjoyed our stay.
This is an amazing property for a family gathering! Everything was comfortable and sparkling clean. Our guests had a fantastic time. We plan to book again for a summer family gathering. 🎉
The house is fabulous. It had really high end furnishings. We had 30 family members and we were all comfortable. The large dining family was great for family meals and our family bingo night. Laura was a great hostess. We highly recommend this place.
This was our 2nd year staying at this beautiful property. Perfect for a group event. Clean, thoughtfully stocked with all the necessities and comforts of home, gorgeously clever decorating, with breathtaking view and peaceful surroundings. Can’t wait for next year!
This house provided plenty of areas for our group to gather together for meals and socializing, but other areas are available if more privacy or quiet time is needed. The house is large but still feels comfortable and cozy. Plenty of indoor entertainment available, esp since we had some rain. Excellent kitchen accommodations made it easy for us to fix 3 meals a day. The outdoor spaces also did not disappoint. Great pool, 2 firepits, hot tub, and river access gave us many options for entertainment. The host provided helpful information ahead of time for us to plan our trip and was responsive when we had questions during our stay. Our group would consider returning to this property again!
