Great place to stay when visiting Blanco. Very clean, well maintained, and decorated. Lots of thought into the details and personal care. Comfy bed. Quiet neighborhood and close to everything. Host even left some snacks and note for us. Would love to stay again when visiting next time.

This place is so fun to see all the cute decorations inside the house. A walk down memory lane. Cozy living room with enough sitting space for family to visit. Fireplace flame was so relaxing.
Blanco is a cute small town to walk around.

This was going back in time and walking in expecting grandmas with a plate of cookies. We were in town for an event and didn't get to spend much time in the house. But, I did find time for a bath in the clawfoot tub. We would like to come back again with no agenda and just enjoy the space.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Blanco staying in this charming home. The house is furnished with beautiful antiques, decor, and appliances that are period appropriate for this vintage cottage. The host provided snacks, breakfast items, and even treats for our dog for our visit. It was an unexpected treat! The home is close to everything in town and a short 15-minute drive to Johnson City and surrounding areas. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a lovely stay!

This place is great. I'm glad that it was saved from demolition. Came for birthday trip. Enjoyed everything about the property. The story about the property is a great short read. Sat out under the tree on the back patio. Sat on the front porch in the cool mornings. Will come back.

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!

We loved our stay so much and will definitely stay again when we return the area. The house exceeded my expectations. It had everything we could need and was the cutest eclectic mix of antiques and soul. I would love to go shopping with Deb! Deb had great communication. Great location!
