Guest Access:
Guests can access the homes at any time with our smart locks and lock boxes located on each home. Our property is gated and there is a large hill down to the three lower cabins and the river.

The Neighborhood:
The property is located just outside the city limits of Kyle, Texas, along the Blanco River. Our property contains three cabins with private river access to the Blanco River. All of the land in between the cabins and the river is available for your enjoyment.

We recommend the following local activities:
Shopping in Wimberley and Kyle, wineries in the hill country, relaxing/swimming with our private river access, shopping at San Marcos Outlet Mall or Cabela's, hiking, Circut of the Americas, and more.

Getting Around:
A car is best suited for transportation to our property. Uber and Lyft are available, but they are not as reliable in recent months. We are approximately:
30 mins to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport,
55 mins to San Antonio International Airport, and
30 mins from New Braunfels.

There are several areas of interest in the surrounding area to explore in which a car would be necessary.
The homes are approximately:
1 mile to Texas Old Town, and Thistlewood Manor,
3 mins to Downtown Kyle,
25 mins to Downtown Wimberley for great local shopping,
15 mins to the San Marcos Outlet Mall,
25 mins to The Salt Lick in Driftwood, and
30 mins to Downtown Austin.

Additional rules
******************Please Note********************
• Smoking, of any kind, is strictly forbidden inside the home, and all trash needs to be properly disposed of.
• Pets are not allowed on the furniture. If the guest leaves the house, the pet should be kenneled or taken with them. If any damage is caused by the pet, there will be additional charges assessed reasonable to the damage made. Pets are not allowed in the home wet. Cats are not allowed in any of the homes. Please be respectful of the rules set forth above. We love dogs, but also want to make sure our cabin stays clean for future guests. We will send you a $100/pet non-refundable pet fee if you agree to the above rules.
• Quiet Hours: 10 PM - 8 AM. Please keep noise levels down to respect our neighbors.
• Any unauthorized pets at the property will be subject to a $400 fee
• We will email you a Rental Release Agreement after booking. This agreement must be signed within 48 hours of booking. This correspondence will occur through our Channel Manager Hostfully..

•Weather: No refunds for weather/natural disasters/power outages/other things that are outside our control. Please purchase travel insurance for coverage.

• A Security Deposit, of $300, must be paid before check-in and is refunded within 7 days of check-out, provided there are no damages to the property. Security deposit & rental agreement will be sent after the booking is confirmed.

• We can host a maximum of 12 guests (including all adults, children & infants)- for safety (fire & insurance) reasons, we cannot hold any additional guests.

• We look forward to hosting all our upcoming guests. Our cleaning team is going above and beyond to provide top-notch services, giving special attention to high-touch areas, using commercial-grade anti-microbial agents, and having bed sheets and bath towels professionally laundered between each guest's stay. However, no guarantee will be made that our properties are "completely sterile" or "COVID-free", just as no other business can reasonably make that claim. Guests are advised to travel and stay with us at their discretion.

• We do not offer rescheduled stays or refunds on cancellations outside of Airbnb's extenuating circumstances policy. We strongly encourage you to purchase travel insurance at the time of booking if you are concerned about the possibility of canceling your trip last minute. Travel insurance is inexpensive and a great way to protect your funds in the event of an unforeseeable cancellation. We understand that last-minute cancellations for guests who choose to not purchase travel insurance can be a burden, however, we are required to uphold our owners' cancellation policies to protect their only sources of income and keep their properties in the business. Please book responsibly and we appreciate your understanding.

• Please note that we’re using a residential refrigerator, which can take several hours to cool, especially if it’s fully stocked.

• Any noise complaints or law enforcement calls to the home will result in immediate termination of your stay without a refund. A NoiseAware noise monitoring device is used to monitor external decibel (DB) levels as outlined per City/County Ordinance.

Interaction with Guests:
★”James was very responsive with any questions. Beautiful property.”

We urge all guests to communicate via their booking platform as our entire team monitors these 24/7 and it will be the quickest way to get in touch..

Perfect place to relax

We chose to stay at Craddock house due to its Proximity to Texas Old Town where our son was getting married. It was so nice to only have to drive a few minutes. The house was spotless. Sitting on the front porch the next morning watching the deer play while enjoying a cup a coffee was incredibly peaceful. We drove down to the river too. It is a beautiful setting.

About the host

Host profile image
Howdy! We are James and Kelsea Vaughan. Together with our parents, Phyllis and Clayton, we own Blanco River Lodges, a 5-home short-term rental property on the Blanco River. We love the outdoors and can't wait to share our home away from home with you.

Why they chose this property

We are close to all the action. With 6 wedding venues in a 2-mile radius, Circut of the Americas, and San Marcos Outlets we have so many adventures to offer your family and friends. No matter what brings you to town we can offer a quiet and relaxing getaway.

What makes this property unique

Avoid the hustle and bustle of river crowds and relax on The Blanco in peace.
