Description

From the moment you arrive, the love for western art and Texas shines through every corner of this retreat. Stepping into the inviting living room, you're greeted by a spacious area adorned with a large comfortable sofa, three plush armchairs, and a stone fireplace—a perfect setting for cozy evenings with a glass of wine and entertainment on the television. As night falls, the quaint gazebo beckons, complete with a fire pit that allows you to lose yourself in the mesmerizing night sky.

The expansive front porch, adorned with swings and rockers, invites travelers to bask in the beauty of the Texas Hill Country. The kitchen, a highlight of the retreat, boasts top-quality appliances and elegant dinnerware, catering to culinary enthusiasts with its fully stocked array of plate ware, flatware, pots, pans, glassware, and wine glasses. Adjacent to the kitchen, an inviting BBQ and grilling area await outdoor dining and relaxation amidst the scenic surroundings.

A cherished gem of River Road Ranch is its extraordinary Chapel, a labor of love by the family, where unforgettable moments like weddings and baptisms have been celebrated, making it an ideal spot for special family gatherings. The Blanco River, meandering through the property, gifts a serene swimming hole and cascading falls, offering moments of tranquility and natural beauty.

Open grassy fields invite guests to enjoy games like croquet, bocce ball, frisbee, soccer, or football, while a majestic bronze Texas Ranger statue stands guard, paying homage to the state's protectors. When it's time to retire, the luxurious bedding in the bedrooms promises a restful slumber, allowing you to rejuvenate amidst the serene ambiance of River Road Ranch.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It had all the essentials and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and walking down to the river.

This was an unforgettable stay! The property is so beautiful and private. The home was so cozy and reminded us of growing up in a small country town. We enjoyed sitting on the porch, walking around the property and hanging out down by the river. None of us wanted to leave. It is a short 15 minute drive to the town of Blanco where there are plenty of local restaurants. We will 100% book here again!

We were looking to replace a family home we could no longer use, in order to meet with various relatives. this was the perfect place. also, being out in the “bush” it was wonderfully quiet and peaceful. it is a great place to be out in nature.

We loved our stay! It was perfect for our needs. It's a great place to get away from the busyness and noise of the world. Thank you for sharing your family chapel as well. It was very special.

Beautiful, peaceful location with a ton of space. Perfect place to get away from the city for a relaxing long weekend. This was my second time here, and it was as great as I remember.

Our family came together at Old River Road from across the country for a thanksgiving feast and were pleased with the warmth and comfort for all, from the little kids to the grandparents. We lived in nearby Austin for many years and visited my mother and brother in Blanco during this time, and so learned about the beauty of the Blanco River region. Of course, we will be returning.

This place is wonderful—especially for groups! The home is gorgeous and special, and the ranch is so peaceful. We went to Fredericksburg a few times, but mostly enjoyed our time at the house. Be aware that it’s in the country, so expect bugs and critters, but otherwise completely wonderful.

Outstanding place and love the way it was decorated. Extremely peaceful and the fact that the river runs by the property was amazing. Will definitely stay there again.

From the moment we got there, the main house and guest house made us feel right at home! We had a blast hanging out on the front porch, soaking in those amazing views. The chapel was just the cutest place, full of intriguing history that really sparked our imaginations. And that gazebo by the river? What a gem! It was the perfect little hideaway to enjoy the beauty around us. The river flowed gently, letting us kick back on the river rocks and just soak up the peaceful vibe.
