About this property

River Lodge - Blanco Suite I Adults, River

Adults only romantic getaway on the river! Enjoy a bit of rustic elegance on the banks of the Blanco River as you relax at the time-honored River Lodge. Perfect for a romantic getaway, the Blanco Suite is one of four alluring, upscale suites each with a unique artistic flair. The Llano, Frio, and the Comal Suites are also available for larger parties. Whether you swim, float or bring your boat and paddle, the deep still water of the Blanco River awaits guests. Travel the river upstream or tackle the rapids downstream, the Blanco river is sure to delight as it encourages fun in its chilling waters.

The River Lodge has a long and colorful history of hosting songwriters, artists, heads of government, actors, and business leaders who all appreciated this unique escape. Arrive at a gated property and follow the winding road filled with wildlife, pretty horses, and picturesque views leading to a warm and charming barn style lodge. Decked with an antler rack on the exterior of the barn, guests are sure to know they are the lucky ones who are staying at an exceptional location filled with heritage and traditions. Begin your stay in the communal entertainment space located on the main level of the barn. Enter through the barn doors and find the perfect space for cocktails and entertainment. Mix up favorite drinks or enjoy a special bottle of wine in this area. Choose one of the cozy conversational areas to relax in and visit with other guests. *An added bonus guests are welcome to relax and kick back in the dry sauna.

With stunning views overlooking the tranquil banks of the river the Blanco Suite offers luxury, comfort, and its own artistic flare. Spend chilly evenings snuggled around the fireplace (only duraflame logs are allowed to be burned) watching a favorite movie on the flat screen television. The suite offers a coffee bar to include a coffee maker, mini fridge, and sink. A private covered porch area with seating overlooking the river is just the place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. Sleep soundly on the king bed dressed in luxurious linens surrounded by creative, colorful art inspired by nature. Tidy up for a night on the town in the full bath with a stand alone shower.

Guests will find sunny days and long evenings are more fun at the River Lodge with endless activities to fill your time. Spend the days on the banks of the Blanco River relaxing. Guests are welcome to bring their canoes, paddleboards, tubes, or other river merriment. Pull out your camera or your paints and capture the natural beauty that surrounds the River Lodge. Relax on the bluff and read a book or kick back on your private porch and simply watch the river flow by. Meet fellow travelers out in the trees at the fire pit, cook up something on the gas grill or relax in the shelter of the barn aisle for games and conversation. Enjoy a little equine love at the horse barn watching the sunset across the oak shaded pastures.

River Lodge is the home of an artist/art collector, the walls sing with creative pieces for your enjoyment. Leave the kids behind for this trip and experience the freedoms and wide open spaces in the wilds of the Texas Hill Country at the legendary River Lodge.

Wimberley is only 15 minutes away and offers plenty to do and eat. Visit the galleries and varied shops in the downtown square, or arrange for a trail ride at a local ranch. Scoot your boots at one of the area dance halls. On the first Saturday of most months, Wimberley comes alive with Market Days, a large and varied flea market. Farther afield (about an hour) and decidedly less rural are Austin and San Antonio. The Hill Country is known for excellent wine, as well as for limestone hills and clear streams. You can work your way from Wimberley west to Fredericksburg tasting wine at any of the hundreds of vineyards. You can even hire a limo to drive you.

Looking for an outing for the day? Take a drive to Canyon Lake and rent a boat or jet skis for a fun afternoon on the water. Check out the music calendar at Whitewater Amphitheater and rock out at a concert! Explore New Braunfels and Gruene and enjoy fabulous restaurants and live music. A day of tubing, kayaking, and rafting on the Guadalupe River is always fun.

Blanco has several popular attractions for outdoorsmen, historians, and foodies. Blanco State Park offers fishing, swimming, and hiking. For those interested in the historical Old West, The Buggy Barn has over 140 covered wagons. Real Ale Brewing Company offers guided tours and a taproom tasting experience.

Further down the road, spend the day exploring Fredericksburg. Travel to Wine Road 290 which offers 19 wineries, all within a few miles of each other. Visit one of Fredericksburg’s two amazing museums: the National Museum of the Pacific War and the Pioneer Museum. During the summer, make sure to stop by a fruit stand and grab some famous Fredericksburg peaches.

Nice, peaceful location
Overall this was a great place to stay. the king size bed was very comfortable, a great A/C and nice to have an outside balcony with beautiful views. I know that the paperwork indicated that there was limited supplies provided but not even salt and pepper? In the kitchen counter basket was micro wave popcorn that did not make sense because there was not a microwave, which I recommend they put in. One would expect that. The only soap in the bathroom was a liquid soap bottle on the bathroom vanity with about a 1/2 of an inch of soap. No soap in the shower. The hot water smelled bad, and had a rust smell and we had to run it for quite awhile to try and flush the pipes. They knew we were coming and stayed 4 nights so why not make sure these things were taken care of prior to our arrival. Again a nice quiet place and we absolutely loved the no animals and no children policy!

Beautiful location
The location of this property is phenomenal. It is a beautiful, quiet spot but very easy to get to many restaurants and an HEB for supplies. There are a few shortcomings with the amenities in the room; a frozen over mini fridge, kettle that took about 15 minutes to come to a boil, and blinds that were broken in a way that made them very difficult to adjust. The sauna was also not working during our stay. Those minor issues aside, I highly recommend this property and would book here again.

Wonderful stay!
This was a great and quiet hill country location on the creek with lots of wildlife. Not far from all things in Wimberley. I would recommend bringing your own bottled water and coffee if desired. We would definitely visit again!

Just what we needed!
Everything was absolutely amazing! From an easy check in process into the suite, to walking down the river and listening to the water flow as you dip your feet in. Honestly was exactly what we needed to recharge for the real world hustle and bustle, it was so peaceful. We stayed Thursday through Saturday. Thank you!

Pretty but noisy right now
Make sure you print out the codes before your arrival. We were not told to do this and there was no cell service at the property, which is not a problem when you're onsite as there is ample wifi. But there is a gate to access the property, so when we arrived there was no way to get in and no one answered the call button from the gate. We had to drive another 30 minutes back to get enough signal to open the email and take a quick screenshot of all the codes we would need. The property is on a beautiful deep water portion of the Blanco river, which is why we booked it. There are four rooms for rent in a barn, with the middle as communal seating. The room was nicely decorated and the linens on the bed were excellent. It is more like a hotel room than a typical VRBO as far as amenities in the room. There is a mini-fridge, a small sink, a tiny trashcan and a coffeemaker. No coffee or coffee filters provided. Minimal glasses and plates and only a few plastic forks as cutlery. Small microwave and propane grill available for shared use. No ice on site. The main problem was that there is major construction going on directly across the river. When we arrived in the evening it was just an eyesore, but by 9am the next day we could hear the sounds of heavy engines and back up beeps even in our room. Wanting to spend the day on the river it was even louder down there. The noise did not stop until after 5pm. Not a relaxing way to spend a trip to the river :(
