If central Texas is experiencing a drought, the river level can be very low or dry. We are happy to answer any questions. It's a beautiful river valley. The Blanco River Retreat consists of TWO newly renovated houses situated on 6 riverfront, rolling acres nestled in the heart of the hill county between Wimberley and Blanco, Texas - within a 15-45 minute drive from most hill country destinations. Blanco River Retreat was featured in Texas Monthly magazine as a top rated vacation spot. The Retreat comfortably accommodate 23 guests with 5 private bedrooms and 2 bedrooms that can be private or shared. Less bunking up and more privacy! There is plenty of room in the lodge house for everyone to congregate and enjoy each other, yet the two houses allow plenty of space for everyone to spread out as well - a great feature to have in a property. The two houses are approx 100 yards a part. You will have easy access to 255 yards of the beautiful Blanco River - that's over 2 football fields long y'all. We have easy river rock beach access to the river and have varying depths in our section of the river - all dependent on rainfall of course. . Our Main Lodge is 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms featuring plenty of entertaining space, 3 private bedrooms with baths and a recreational/bunk room suite. Each bedroom has a king sized bed and a private full bathroom. The downstairs bunk room/suite has a queen bed and twin bed (bunk style) in a semi- private corner room, and a queen pull-out sofa bed with a premium mattress in the open area with a smart TV with Direct TV, wet bar, mini fridge, full bathroom, and direct access to outside. Our farmhouse inspired converted barn is 2 bedrooms, 1 large shared loft and 2.5 baths. The barn-house has two bedrooms downstairs (one king bedroom and one queen bedroom). Both rooms share a large full bathroom and a half bath on the first floor. An exterior staircase leads to an adorable farmhouse loft that is perfect for families, a teen hang out, or like minded guests. The upstairs loft has a full bathroom, 2 queen beds, 1 full sized bed, a pull out sofa, smart TV and DVD and a table and chairs for games/puzzles, etc. The two kitchens are new with all major appliances and fully stocked with dishes, silverware, bar ware and serve ware. The property also features a large, resort style swimming pool, an over-sized hot tub large enough to seat 10 people, and a cozy fire pit. All in a beautiful spot in the Blanco River valley. THE POOL IS NOT HEATED. Both houses have amazing views and direct access to the Blanco river. We welcome you all to come sit by the river and make life long memories with those you love. SURVEILLANCE NOTE: There a security camera mounted on the barn-house. This is more than 100 yards away from the pool and river areas. Please check out our Instagram and Facebook pages (@blancoriverretreat) for more videos and photos. We do require a rental agreement and individual waivers from your group. \*\*\*EVENTS & WEDDINGS\*\*\* We love small, intimate events and we provide a beautiful valley back-drop.

We had a company retreat here and the facilities and property were perfect for us! The pool & spa were well maintained, the property is huge with a giant yard for horseshoes and bocce. Plenty of beds/baths for the whole crew. Can’t wait to return soon! ##### ryan r.

The property was perfect for our group of 20 people that included 4 generations of family. The main house had plenty of room for us all to gather for meals and to socialize. The layout of the bedrooms at the main house was nice with the non-adjoined rooms and the and Barn house received great reviews from the people that stayed there. I have rented many VRBOs over the years and the kitchen in this house was better stocked than any house I've stayed in before. The grounds were spacious and the river was beautiful. The property owner was great with communication and made sure that we had everything we needed for our extended stay. We had a fantastic time and made some great memories at the Blanco River Retreat! ##### Paul A.

It was absolutely beautiful!! The house, the property, everything was amazing. The main room is very large and wonderful to accommodate a big group. It’s decorated really beautifully and plenty of space for everyone. ##### Katie L.

We held a family reunion over Thanksgiving for three generations (15 of us in total ranging from age 10 to seniors). The Blanco River Retreat was a great destination, and allowed room for us to spread out amongst the two houses and to gather in the great room for large meals. Everyone enjoyed spending evenings around the firepit and playing games. Mornings and evenings were also great times to watch the deer come feed at the property. The location is very beautiful, right on the Blanco River and peaceful, allowing us to escape the stress of work and the city. It's well stocked and very close to lots of fun destinations. Our group really enjoyed visiting the Blanco town square and Old Courthouse Christmas lighting, Luckenbach and the nearby restaurants & distillery. I would highly recommend the Blanco River Retreat and I can imagine it's also a lot of fun in the summer with the pool and river location. Cathy is a wonderful host, answering any questions and communicating well before and throughout our stay. ##### Chris M.

We did it all! This beautiful property was ideally located for the family wedding we attended at Firefly. It was also the perfect spot for our family to gather and celebrate milestone birthdays we had missed during COVID. We had a fabulous time, and Cathy couldn’t have been more hospitable! We will definitely be back!! ##### Lisa S.
