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.
