Perfect, Perfect, Perfect
PERFECT property for our team offsite. The home and casita are well stocked with just about anything you can think of needing. The dining area was spacious and ideal for our indoor activities. The property is very large with the Blanco river running past it. The pool, hot tub, fire pits, game room--all great hits with our team. Massive double freezer, large fridge and an ICE MAKER! The owners are VERY helpful and communication was excellent. The PERFECT place for a team offsite, family reunion, country wedding or simply a gathering of friends. I cannot emphasize enough the great experience we had at the Blanco Valley Lodge.

Great family gathering place.
The house is fabulous. It had really high end furnishings. We had 30 family members and we were all comfortable. The large dining family was great for family meals and our family bingo night. Laura was a great hostess. We highly recommend this place.

Team Retreat
For the second time, our work team and spouses spent a few days together at this wonderful property for our annual team retreat. We’ve stayed at a few other places, but this one seems to be our favorite! The ease of working with the owners, the quiet location, the stunning views, and the wonderful home are the perfect combination! We can’t say enough great things about this place! I’m certain we will return.

Fabulous Family Thanksgiving
We enjoyed our stay at The Blanco Valley Lodge. From the beginning of the booking process through our checkout, everything was seamless. Laura was always responsive and went the extra mile to answer our requests, she also checked on us via text during our stay to see if we needed anything. The property is fantastic and they have thought of everything you might need. There is room to spread out and something for everyone. We highly recommend this property for your next getaway.

wonderful outdoors
We had a wonderful stay here for our daughter's wedding that was held at nearby Camp Lucy. This property backs onto the river with wonderful outdoor seating, eating and recreation.The large kitchen and game room were perfect for hosting our large family. Unfortunately, one of the freezers was broken. The owner sent someone over immediately and then when it couldn't be fixed, offered to replace it the next day! Unfortunately, the dryer was also broken but we didn't need it until the end of our stay. Possibly need a little more attention to appliances before a large group comes to stay but otherwise we had a wonderful time.

Paradise in the Blanco
This property is hands-down the BEST place for a large group. We had six families during our visit. The main house is so spacious, it felt like we were at a private resort. The pool and hot tub are exquisite. The deer arrive at dinnertime each night on cue. The playground was a hit. The gameroom and bunk room were the perfect place for the kids to relax and get away from the parents. The kitchen is equipped to feed an army. And the ice machine is just the icing on the cake. We had so much fun, I'd go back in a heartbeat. Thank you!!!!

Amazing Property for Large Group
We held a large family reunion at the property. The house/guest house combo was absolutely perfect for what we needed. Lack of water in the river made us so happy we had a place with a great pool. Kitchen and eating area are definitely highlights. Plenty of space for up to 30 people to relax and take in the Texas hill country. Communication from the owner was timely and helpful throughout. Would definitely come back here.

Perfect family reunion gathering spot!
Blanco Valley Lodge was the perfect location and set up for our family reunion! It had an ideal layout of bedrooms/beds/baths to host several families and offered enough privacy and space for the weekend. The beds/linens are high quality, and we found the entire home thoughtfully decorated and stocked with what we needed. The property is private, yet conveniently located in the middle of several towns to get out for some local adventures. We found it is easy to communicate with the property owner to answer any questions. We will definitely find a reason to come back!

Host was great, Vrbo needs improvement !
The Host Laura and David were great and communicated with us several times. Beautiful property and well kept. I was disappointed with my communication with Vrbo, no response e-mail wise or telephone wise. The host came to in to save the day. Vrbo in my opinion can certainly stand some improvement in their operations ! HE

Awesome Texas Hill Country Getaway for Groups
We had a group of 5 families stay at Blanco Valley Lodge for a summer-time long weekend. The house is huge and in great shape. There were plenty of rooms and bathrooms as well as ample kitchen and dining space and lots of fun things to do (swim, shuffleboard, pool table, ping pong). The only downside was that the river was dry (as of June 2023), but it’s still a lovely spot with pretty views. I would also note that the swimming pool is fairly deep (I would estimate it’s at least 4 feet deep at the shallow end, and most of the pool is 5-7 feet deep, so might not be ideal for smaller children/people who aren’t strong swimmers.) We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Dishonest
Please take pictures of the home upon arrival and check out. We were accused of damage to the pool and charged an extra pet fee two weeks after check out, aside the pet fee already paid stating the birds left a mess. Laura verbally agreed to the additional birds. Laura never mentioned an issue with the birds at the time of check out. She did reach out to me via text to advise there was rust stains at the bottom of the pool and asked if we knew. However, no mention of issues with the birds at the time of check out and or the two weeks following check out. No pictures were provided by Laura of the mess she stated her cleaning lady advised her of. False statement, not enough characters in this review to provide the full story. Caught Laura lying (all on email) as to the cleaning lady not knowing there was birds in the home and called her and stated there was bird poop and feathers everywhere. The cleaning lady was present when I was checking out and loading my two birds in the vehicle. 5 people present that can attest to that and the fact that no mess was left behind as stated. Her response, call my husband to further discuss your birds. If this was an issue it should have been addressed at the time she text with regard to the pool. Please be aware there are scorpions in the home, we killed 3 and the jacuzzi had ants. When addressed I was dismissed and advised it was our fault as we left the hot tub lid open and no one ever complained of scorpions.

Christmas Memories
My family quit exchanging Christmas gifts years ago, opting instead to go somewhere together and make memories. We rented The Blanco Family Lodge and we couldn’t have been more pleased. There were 20 of us and the house was large enough we didn’t get underfoot of the others. The kitchen was amazing and had two of every appliance. All 20 of us could sit at one of the tables in the dining room. The home had a wonderful game room which helped to keep us entertained. We played games, had some great meals and made more memories. Thanks BFL for everything!

Oasis
Property and location was perfect for my son's wedding and family gathering for it. The house was like an Oasis and was happy to share the experience with my family. There were a few pots and pans that needed updating, but overall, kitchen was well stocked for a large size family gathering. Owners were awesome to deal with and very accommodating. If we raised an issue (i.e. broken coffee machine), they responded expeditiously so as not to burden the family. Wish it was warmer for us to enjoy the pool, but there were plenty of other things to do for the whole family regardless (gameroom, hot tub, etc.). Bedsheets were one of the most soft and comfortable that I've ever slept in. They did not skimp on what's important.....a good night's rest while on vacation. Highly recommend renting this Oasis!!
