Very relaxing spot. Enjoyed that the house was built in the 1920s but had all the upgrades you need for modern living.

Convenient
We needed a place to stay to watch our grandson play in SCAC golf tournament at Vaaler Creek. Our daughter and granddaughter joined us for this event. This was very close to the golf course as we had to make trips back and forth to the course. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. While there was only one bathroom, we did manage ok. We would recommend this place for those looking for a somewhat rustic getaway to the high country. Terry and Carole

Wonderful for a small Family.
Our family was here for a weekend getaway/vacation. We planned on meeting up with our family at Blanco State Park to swim for the day. Make sure to reserve your day pass if you want to be able to get into the river. This place is so cute. So many neat things that make this so enjoyable. Our girls loved the treehouse area. We used the fire pit outside for marshmallow roasting. There were two bedrooms, one with a large queen bed and it has a chair that folds out into a twin-size cot. The other bedroom has two twin beds. There’s also a futon in the living area. There are two small mini-fridges, so bring an ice chest as a back- up. There is a gas grill out back, a cook-top, microwave, and some other appliances (crockpot, blender, toaster oven, blow dryer). I cannot believe how perfect this place was.

Perfect River Getaway
Our little family loved our short stay at Betty B's. The cozy house was well appointed and comfortable and the location of the house was super convenient to points of interest in Blanco and elsewhere. The booking and check-in process via Evolve couldn't have been easier and Amy was accessible and attentive for anything we might've needed. By far, our favorite part was the rocking chairs out on the porch overlooking the river. Even though it rained for a large part of our stay, the covered front porch was the perfect spot to slow down and enjoy the view--rain be darned! We'll be back for sure!

Very nice and clean small home sitting just a few hundred yards from the Blanco river. Property was maintained well and some nice upgrades made to an older home. A/C units work very well and has a nice large tv with internet connection. Keurig coffee maker and a couple of small (college style) fridges. We didn’t cook at all but there was a small two burner flat top. Treehouse was a huge hit with our group. There is minimal access to the river directly unless you drive a bit or go into the State Park.

Quick getaway
The house was very charming and in a great location. We spent the morning at Blanco State Park and enjoyed being so close that it was just a short walk to the cottage. The porch was nice to watch the storm that came through and play games. Perfect weekend getaway.
