Wonderful Home

We had a great time at Ethyl’s Place. The decor was amazing and the home was comfortable and cozy. Blanco was the perfect base location to explore the beautiful Texas Hill Country.

Great experience

The property was so charming and cozy. The bed was super comfortable. Our host was great to work with and even gave us a refund on our first night because we weren't able to make it because of car trouble. We would definitely stay there again.

Incredibly charming and comfortable gem!

We absolutely loved this place!! The owner has done an amazing job making this completely adorable house your home away from home. We came for our anniversary and the second we stepped foot inside we were impressed. Rustic, well cared for, clean as a whistle, has everything you need, and has all the little touches that make a rental special. From old light switches to decor that add character. Forget a basic hotel room, rent this place. It was very easy to find, central Blanco. We used it as a jumping off point to Fredericksburg and surrounding area with incredible value for your budget and had that extra X factor making it a special stay. Many thanks to the owner! VRBO never disappoints :)

Ethyl’s Place at Christmas

Oh my goodness! What a charming property. I had mentioned to host when booking we would be there for a fiddle performance and contest at the 10th Annual Festival of Texas Fiddlng. Deb left a stocking filled with treats for my little performer with a note wishing her well. The cottage was clean and decorated for Christmas. My children loved the tree and oorch decor.
