Our stay was very enjoyable. The house is so cute. We loved the decor it felt like home. I love how the house is tucked away for a little bit more privacy. Our host was very kind and communicated quickly with us.

Loved it!
“Ethyl’s Place” was even more charming than advertised. Just less than a mile from the heart of downtown Blanco, it sat perched full of character and full of history. There is an awesome back-story of the restoration process of the house that the Homeowner shares and invites you to be a part of.“Ethy’s Place” was intimate, cozy and the perfect place to lay low with loved ones for a few days. Will definitely be back!

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 :)

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.
