About this property
River Front-Waterfalls-Outdoor Fireplace-WiFi
PLEASE NOTE: This home is in a small neighborhood that has full time residents so strict noise rules are in place and louder groups will not be able to stay here. All outdoor music is strictly prohibited during your stay. We expect all guest to move conversations and gatherings into the house at 9 pm on weekdays and 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Regardless of the available sleeping arrangements, this home is a 4 adult maximum home.
We have also noticed an increase in the number of guests that are wanting and/or expecting to be able to "float down the river". Hunt Texas is not a location for this activity. Both forks of the Guadalupe in Hunt have a series of dams that back the water up throughout the length of both of them. We do encourage our guest to make day trips to the Frio for tubing if that is a strong interest. Our own family often does this when the Frio is flowing well. We include more information and recommendations in our information packet for our guest.
Cedar Cliff Cottage sits on a bluff above the Guadalupe river's north fork in one of the most scenic areas in Texas. This incredibly special area host some of the most popular camps and resorts in the hill country. Camp Stewart, Camp Waldemar, The Boy Scouts Camp Bear Creek and Mo Ranch are all within a few miles or less. This little cottage packs a huge punch when it comes to comfort and amenities. The cottage is clean and cozy, and the property is open and spacious, allowing your group to stretch out and find the spaces that suit them best. Whether it's a giant, private patio with a stone fireplace, a heated, covered back deck that's perched above the river valley, or multiple other options for relaxing, there is a place for every mood and personality type. As our personal guest, you will have access to hidden river treasures seldom seen by and not accessible to the public. Beautiful river features like a picture-perfect waterfall and crystal-clear plunge pool with cascading spring water constantly rushing over it are waiting for you to explore and enjoy. When first entering the property, you will find yourself immediately thrown into the hill country lifestyle with a huge stone patio, loaded with custom seating and tables, and a picture-perfect outdoor stone fireplace that is just waiting to be lit up at night. Here you will find an excellent place to spend the evening and night gathering together and watching the stars above, all while sitting under the dreamy party lights. This is also the location of the BBQ smoker pit that is sure to be pumping out the incredible smell of burgers and steaks during your stay. Upon entry you will find a cute kitchen equipped with all types of cooking appliances, including an oven/stove top, microwave, pancake griddle, blender, crockpot and just about everything else one may need to cook their favorite meals. The living room is a wall of windows and has plenty of seating for everyone. The 65 inch 4K TV is perfect for family movie night after spending the day in the sun. The built in window seat is a great place for sleeping small children with blankets and pillows provided. Here you will also find a sleeper sofa, perfect for fitting a couple of more guest into the cottage for efficient vacation living. Just off of the living room is a large, covered deck with more seating and tables. The deck is an excellent place to hang out under cover, eat, and take in the incredible eyepopping, panoramic views of the mile long bluff just across the north fork valley. For the cooler nights, you can crank up the commercial electric heaters with the push of a button. At night you can turn on the party lights, kick back and enjoy the cool summer breezes that blow through the valley and ridge tops of the Guadalupe's north fork. If you are lucky enough to have a clear, moonless night during your stay, you will see stars like you never have before. At night you can even hear the calming sounds of the waterfalls just upriver, echoing off of the limestone cliffs. Each bedroom has brand new beds packed full of fresh blankets and pillows to give you the coziest sleeping arrangements possible. The cottage sits high above the river, allowing for panoramic views, but also quick access to the water just down a fun little path through the trees, or a second path that takes you directly to the river's plunge pool and waterfalls. Two kayaks are available for our guest use, however, you will need two people to carry each one down to the water and then back to the house each day. Ever snorkeled fresh water? This is a place you can do it because 90% of the time, the water is virtually as clear as a swimming pool. This clarity also gives moms peace of mind knowing they can see the little ones at all times. No deep dark water here to worry about moms. This home is perfect for smaller groups, consisting of no more than 4 adults, or 4 adults and the accompanying children all totaling no more than 6 persons. We provide blow up mattresses to put the kiddos on if you need every bed for the adults. This property does sit on a bluff and small children must be watched at all times as well as young adults properly supervised. (This home is in a small neighborhood that has full time residents so strict noise rules are in place and louder groups will not be able to stay here. We do expect all guest to move conversations and gatherings into the house at 9 pm on weekdays and 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays.)

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Brent Lankford

My name is Brent Lankford and I am a financial advisor in The Woodlands, TX. I have been married to my wife for over 20 years and we share 3 children together, 2 girls and 1 boy. I was born at the Heights Hospital in Houston in 1971. I'm quite proud that both sides of my family have such strong Texas roots. My fathers side is from the oil refineries of Pasadena and my mother's side were truck drivers from the Dallas area. Being honest, humble and hard working are definitely values that are paramount to me.
Why they chose this property
When we saw this property become available, we knew we had to get it. The whole area of Hunt is very special and homes like these do not come up for sale often, especially river front homes in a more modest price range. We purchased this property to have another family vacation home in the area we love so dearly. I myself have driven by homes up on bluffs over the river and have wondered what it must be like to have such a place for yourself. Now we have that and we are quite happy to share the experience with our guest. We expect that just like Hilltop Cabin, this home will be a continued work in progress. In other words, we will be making improvements at every chance we get when it comes to interior and exterior spaces. As the owner and manager of the homes, I have a very strong desire to make each of our homes reach what I believe is their full potential. To the degree possible, we put every dollar of rent back into the homes to make them even better and we expect that to continue for the foreseeable future.
What makes this property unique
The two things that I think are the most unique with this home is that the cottage is elevated on the bluff for excellent sweeping vistas of the valley, while being river front at the same time. Most homes have views but not river frontage, or they are down on the river and don't have the distant, open views. I am familiar with many different sections of the two river forks in Hunt and I can tell you that this little section is one of the best in terms of clarity of the water, waterfall features and usability in regards to depth for swimming and kayaking. I expect that his home in particular will be in our family for generations, it's that special.
