About this property

Blanco Valley Lodge: Reunions, Retreats & Workshops. Great For Holiday Parties

Blanco Valley Lodge (BVL) is a recently completed hill country vacation home, designed to provide families and groups a safe and relaxing place to be together. Comfortable accommodations, privacy, spectacular Hill Country views, an open floor plan, and a peaceful stretch of the Blanco River allow guests to gather and entertain in a stress-free way. Just one hour from Austin and San Antonio, 25 minutes west of Wimberley, and 10 minutes East of Blanco, BVL is nestled on 9 acres and is a wonderful place to celebrate a birthday, holiday, or anniversary, gather the girls or the boys, or your families and friends, your co-workers or team members, and enjoy time in the hill country.

The gated property includes a 6,000-square foot luxury home, 1,100 square foot guest house, and over 4,700 square feet of outdoor decking outfitted with tiki torches, hot tub, fire pit, Texas shaped pool, washer pits, and basketball goal.

The main house floor plan includes 4 spacious bedrooms, a bunkhouse loft, four full bathrooms, a dining hall with two 16-foot farmhouse tables, fully-equipped kitchen, game room, large gathering spaces with three fireplaces, and numerous windows to enjoy the view and watch kiddos swim and play outside. Attached to the main house is a guest house with its own fully-equipped kitchen, living area, and two guest rooms, each with private full baths. Both houses feature big walk-ways, let in great natural light, and all the beds are made with luxury linens.

The kitchen and dining spaces in the main house were designed to entertain a large group but allow for everyone to feel included and comfortable. Guests will find plenty of counter space for prepping as well as bar space for socializing as meals are brought together. All amenities were purchased in 2017 and include a commercial ice maker and fridge, 4 ovens, large island, oversized pantries, dinner, drink, and silverware for 40, multiple Keurig’s and coffee pots and numerous large serving platters. Our indoor dining space has an incredible view of the Blanco River and comfortably seats 32 adults with plenty of space for additional seating, movement, catered meals, or for presentations and demonstrations.

Guests activities include walking right into the Blanco River, swimming in the pool, gathering around a movie or big sporting event, playing pool, ping pong, foosball, shuffle board, or card and board games. BVL is a great place to escape the distractions of daily routine and focus on your family, enjoy time with your friends, or collaborate and commit to a mission or goal for your particular group or small business.

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
