About this house rental
The Bluff House sits high on a hillside on the Rockin' B Ranch, 55 acres near Pipe Creek with a creek running through it. Bandera, Pipe Creek and Boerne are all short drives. It is one of four houses on the ranch, alongside the Summit House, the Creek View Barndominium and the Love Shack.
The living area has two walls of two-story windows that bring the hills inside. Barn board and hardwood run through the house, and a wood stove stands in the living room as decoration. Two bedrooms and a sleeper sofa sleep up to eight, with two full baths; the upstairs bath has a tub. The kitchen is well equipped, and there is a washer and dryer, central air and heat, ceiling fans, Wi-Fi, and a smart TV with Roku and a DVD player.
The decks are spacious and elevated, and the hot tub sits right on the hillside. A fire pit and a charcoal grill are close by. Down on the creek there is swimming, catch-and-release fishing and kayaks to use, and the ranch has hiking trails, plenty of wildlife and dark skies for stargazing.
Early check-in may be available on request. Every stay includes the Texas Hill Country Travel App, a local guide for exploring the area.
WHY WE LIKE IT
What we tell people about the Bluff House is to look at the living room first. Two walls of two-story windows, with barn board and hardwood throughout. It is one of four houses on the 55-acre Rockin' B Ranch, so a family can start here and add another house as the group grows. Pets are welcome, and the kayaks for the creek are on site.

We had a wonderful stay at the Rocky River Guest House. It had everything you could possibly need. We especially enjoyed our time on the back deck watching all the birds and animals that came by. Really enjoyed feeding the deer in the evening. We spent time motorcycling in the hill country. Plenty of room to park a trailer in the front yard. Would stay here again.

Immaculately clean! Super easy check in. All the amenities you could ever need. Lots of places to poke around in town and yummy restaurants. But the real draw is the NATURE experience. Deer watching and feeding from your porch, walk along the river from the city park with gorgeous views, tricking waterfalls, and access to shallow wading from the back of the property. The owner called me on our first day to answer all of our questions and share wonderful advice about the town and nearby cities. For the next visitors, please give the porch kitty hugs from us. We enjoyed the daily visits. We were also visited by a herd of 40-ish axis deer in the meadow several times over the course of our stay.

This is not your typical rental home. It’s the warmest and most inviting home we have stayed in. This home has been loved an well taken care of. We absolutely loved it!!! It gives you the feeling of staying with family. The deer and river were beautiful. Very quiet neighborhood. Thank you so much for having us. We will be back!!
