Treat your whole family to the big and beautiful, brand-new Blue Getaway!
Terrace/patio
Top off your day of Hill Country adventure by easing yourself into the warm waters of the Getaway's hot tubs!
Our guests love the "outdoor living room" shaded deck space! The bubbling waterfall and outdoor lights add that special something, too.
Just like the Oasis, the deck at the Retreat is split between a permanently-shaded pergola section and a more open-air setup.

About this property

Blue Getaway in the Hill Country

Kerrville is one of the largest towns in the Hill Country, and it's a great place for a fulfilling family escape! The Blue Getaway just outside of town is a fantastic setting for your Hill Country vacation; it's a kid-friendly space with comfortable sleep space for up to 16 people. Both sides of this new duplex-style guest home feature extras like hot tubs, fire pits, Wifi, electric fireplaces, a brand new outdoor games area, and more. It's a robust escape with the best of both town and country!

One thing unique to Kerrville is the Guadalupe River Trail! This scenic greenbelt winds alongside the river, dotted with parks with playgrounds, exercise facilities, picnic areas, and more. The Guadalupe is also known for the tubing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing that folks enjoy on and in its waters. The Blue Getaway puts you close to all that adventure!

The Blue Getaway is a new duplex, colored a brilliant light blue that blends in nicely with those pretty Hill Country skies. Ample parking is available in front of the duplex. It's divided into two sections, the Blue Retreat and Blue Oasis, both nicely matched and furnished with comfort in mind.

(Note: the Blue Retreat and Blue Oasis are two halves of a whole, and are designed to mirror similar amenities and basic setups.

Whether you're sipping coffee or sharing stories with your family, there's plenty of space to do it outside! Both sides of the Getaway have a spacious open deck with a large umbrella for shade, and a pergola section of the deck that's permanently shaded. There's also plenty of comfy outdoor furniture where everyone can enjoy the fresh Hill Country breezes in comfort. To add a magical touch to your nights, the pergola area is fitted with sparkling string lights and a cascading waterfall feature. There's more intimate and private space on the smaller deck on the second level, outside the master bedroom.

If you have kids, or kids at heart, the outdoor games area will get their hearts racing! Its centerpiece is a fountain, surrounded by a carnival's worth of recreation. Equipment and tables are set up for foosball, air hockey, corn hole (bags), tetherball, basketball, and ping pong. Most of the gaming areas are shaded, and there are tables for relaxation between games. Keep in mind a small fee may be required for some of the games, and this area is shared with others.

All the interior spaces of both the Retreat and Oasis are totally new! They're tastefully outfitted with comfy living area furniture, electric fireplaces to relieve those chilly nights, and central air to soothe during hot Texas summers. For more climate control, there are ceiling fans throughout the Getaway, too! The TVs here are Roku-ready, and you can access streaming accounts with the Wifi service included. Gleaming, modern appliances fill the kitchen, which includes cookware, serving ware, utensils, and glasses. Whip up your morning joe with the combo coffee maker, with both regular and K-Cup brewing options. What's more, you'll have comfortable meal space inside and out, with dining tables both indoors and out on the deck.

A spiral staircase winds up to the second floor. (The spiral stairs are somewhat narrow, and may pose an issue for the mobility-impaired; a wider staircase outside offers access from the deck to the second story.) Upstairs, there's a main bedroom and a loft. The bedroom has a soft queen-sized bed, and the loft has two bunk bed setups, with a total of four twin beds. Add to that a queen-sized sofa sleeper, and there's slumber space for up to eight people. That's just on one side of the duplex; double that for sleeping space for 16 guests total! All the beds here feature adjustable Posturpedic mattresses for added comfort. Each side has two clean full bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs, equipped with glass-walled shower stalls (for a total of four baths). All sleeping and cleanup spaces include clean linens. If your stay here is going to be three days or longer, washer and dryer access is also available.

Great place!

We were down for my daughter’s graduation from Scheriner U and needed a place for the whole family to stay. It was great! Really loved having all the outdoor games to keep the younger ones occupied. Would definitely recommend to anyone and would definitely stay there again.

Nice vacation stay

This vacation property is really good. Great things: 1. Clean property.. 2. Adequate number of beds for the listed capacity. 3. Clean bathroom. 4. Plenty of outdoor spaces with play area and deck seating area. 5. The property is well maintained. Things to consider: 1. There are two portions each holding upto 8 guests. For group of more than 8, there may be situation to occupy both the portions. So it is like two compact townhouses with shared wall each with separate living room and kitchen. 2. There are lot of outdoor seating and play area which would be great for summer stay but during winter, where the stay ended up being inside the house, the seating area in the living room was limited. 3. Kitchen is small compared to other vacation houses that I have stayed. 4. Most of the sleeping beds are on the second floor. This would need climbing the steep stairs (if accessed from inside) or outdoor stairs (which would be tricky during winter/rainy days) Overall, it's a good vacation place to stay and this place would be a great summer vacation spot.

Summer trip

We enjoyed our stay very much. The accommodations were great and we loved the lard back patio area. The spiral staircase is narrow, so be sure to use the side stairs for managing luggage. The owners' notebook about interests in the area was very helpful. We will definitely come back.

Great property for our Basketball Team

We had 2 coaches and 10 athletes. This was a great property for us. The bunk rooms worked well for the girls and having 4 bathrooms was great! Everything was clean and management was very helpful.

Great place!

Spent Thanksgiving here with multiple people. Very close to downtown Kerrville. Everything was in great order and new. Only thing that was tough for older people was the spiral staircase. Perfect place for family when weather is better. Rained the week we were there!
