About the host

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Vince, the founder of 32 Lights Vacation Homes. My journey with Kerrville began many years ago while I was dating my now-wife. We quickly fell in love with the area's charm and natural beauty. Each visit deepened our connection to Kerrville, culminating in a memorable engagement on the banks of the Guadalupe River.

As our family started to grow, we felt a strong pull to put down roots in Kerrville. We wanted not only to enjoy its beauty ourselves but also to share it with others. This desire led us to purchase a home here, one that captivated us from the start, particularly its magical and private backyard – an ideal spot for families and friends to gather.

Driven by our passion for modern technology, we designed the home with the latest amenities, marrying the classic allure of the Hill Country with contemporary comforts. This home is our way of offering a relaxing haven to guests who wish to experience the tranquility and charm of Kerrville.

The home holds a special place in our hearts. We cherish every moment we've spent here and are excited to share this wonderful place and its surrounding area with you. We hope you'll find as much joy and peace here as we have!

Why they chose this property

We love this neighborhood for its perfect blend of tranquility and convenience. Nestled in a peaceful area, the home offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle, where you can often see deer roaming the streets, adding a touch of natural beauty to your stay. Despite its quiet setting, the neighborhood is just a stone's throw away from the vibrant downtown, ensuring you're never far from the heart of the action. Additionally, the location boasts easy access to major roads, making it a breeze to explore the surrounding area. Whether you're here to relax or explore, our home provides the ideal starting point for all your adventures.

What makes this property unique

Lantern Retreat is a unique blend of history and modern luxury. This 2300 square foot home, built in 1939, combines its original charm with modern amenities and technology. Every detail is crafted with love, ensuring beauty and functionality for our guests.

Our backyard is a haven for relaxation and entertainment. Enjoy the artificial creek and rock garden, under the shade of oak and pecan trees adorned with solar lanterns. The space is complete with accent lighting and a private hot tub for ultimate relaxation.

The converted garage is a fun-filled game room, boasting an arcade machine with classic games, ping pong, arcade basketball, a 65-inch TV, and a card table. It's a perfect blend of nostalgia and modern fun.
