Phenomenal Place in Fun and Cute Blanco TX

This cute, super stylish, uber clean property with comfy beds, nice kitchen and outside area was perfect for our stay during our son's wedding weekend. The house is just a short walk to the square with great restaurants, bars, close to gelato and coffee shops! We have only wonderful things to say about this location and the lil house! Loved our stay 100 percent.

Retro home near the square

It was just what we needed. Cold AC was great and one bathroom worked just fine for 5 people. Easy and nice walk to the square.

Retro and fun

Kitchen, living, dining, bath look like 1950s hill country house. This is a good thing. It is clean and well maintained and renovated but preserved the old school look. Overall a modern updated place that looks like the 1950s very well done.

PERFECT charming weekend getaway

WOW! This place was so much fun. We loved the retro furnishings and cooked on the cool stove. It was definitely before my time so I HAD to try it out! You can walk to all the shops on the square from here too. The cool weather made it even better! We didn't detect any foul smell at all like the last review had mentioned, so I would assume the owner fixed it. It smelled clean and fresh! The beds were comfy and we had a nice relaxing stay. We would definitely recommend this place and will be back next time we visit Blanco!

Bed less than desirable

Location good; quiet neighborhood; quick access to downtown. However, the queen bed drops 4 inches in the middle after just one minute of laying down....no rest after a long day. the next night I had to sleep in the BR#2 on a twin bed which was sufficient for a decent sleep. The Futon in the living room...I understand its purpose, it's just not good for relaxing/TV viewing. The yard was not mowed and the bushes were not trimmed, and what's with the dead tree? Strange thing...there were about 20 dead flies on the bathroom floor and tub???Weird! Disappointed.

Great little spot to explore Blanco and the Hill Country

Came in with a group of friends from Austin to spend a quiet weekend in Blanco. The house was perfect for our needs. It comfortably slept four guys and provided enough space for us to hang out in the living area together in the evening and morning. AC and heat worked well, bathroom was clean, and we had plenty of hot water. The location was a quick drive to Real Ale (though we could have walked if we were so inclined) and to Blanco State Park, and a short walk to food, drink, and shops downtown. The only thing I'd note is that if you have a louder group (or if you want more privacy for yourself) you might consider renting the entire house rather than just one unit, as you could easily hear the people in the other unit while in our living room. This wasn't a problem for us — and not much different than staying in a hotel room with a connecting door to the next room — but it's worth noting for anyone who might not be comfortable hearing or being heard by neighbors under the same roof.

Retro Charm

Fantastic and fun original fifties decor. Comfortable, spacious, and bright. Very well equipped. Friendly, responsive owners. A great quiet retreat after busy days exploring Austin, San Antonio, Hill towns, music venues, etc. We had a wonderful stay!

Blanco es bueno

I absolutely love Blanco. It’s a great place to stay. It’s got lots of eating options, and it’s a nice central location. The house was perfect. It’s hard to find a two bedroom with 3 beds. Clean, beautiful and everything we needed for three sisters.

Great landing pad for busy weekend adventures!

We loved this little house. It was perfect for our family of four: many walkable activities, short drives to several, and very reasonable 30 min drives to even more Hill Country attractions. We were in the area for a family wedding, but enjoyed the location as a hub - and a relaxing place to rest! - during our stay. Perfect!

Great place/loved it!

A quiet, clean and well done little house for a home away from home. It was a 32 year anniversary get away for my husband and I and we didn’t want to leave! I’m hoping we can have another visit soon. Thanks for the extra coffee, the snacks and the attention to detail all over the house. It was simply a pleasure!

Betty B's in Blanco is the place to stay!

Came to Blanco for several days and were lucky enough to get to stay at the "city house". This place was perfect for my wife and I. It was close to the square, the park and places to eat. The house was spotless! Amy had the place stocked with snacks, a couple of local beers and some wine. Lots of coffee, too. There was a nice deck out back with a porch swing to sit on. The house was just a really cool retro place that was super comfortable and meticulously clean. Cheers to the cleaning crew. Would definitely stay again! Todd F.
