Rockin' B Ranch Bluff House

Nestled in the beautiful Texas Hill Country just minutes from Boerne and Bandera.

When it comes to waterfront vacation rentals in the Texas Hill Country, the Bluff House at Rockin' B Ranch stands tall among the best! Its elevated hillside perch allows for some of the best views of the gorgeous countryside. The creek on this 55-acre ranch sets the stage for fun and relaxing water activities, and the knockout amenities in the house-including a hot tub with amazing mountain views-makes it a perfect location for family getaways and retreats. You have to see it to believe it!

This kid- and pet-friendly space is one of our top picks for family vacations in Texas! You'll be surrounded by the natural splendor of the Hill Country, and the shopping, night life, and food of towns like Bandera, Pipe Creek, and Boerne are all just short drives away. Whatever's on your vacation checklist, the Bluff House will satisfy everyone you bring along!

Fish, hike, swim, and even use the available kayaks on the creek on the property, or just relax on the spacious decks that offer eye-popping elevated views of the Hill Country. Wildlife and birds abound, and the skies are perfect for stargazing on crystal-clear Texas nights. There's a fire pit and charcoal grill on hand for socializing and cookouts, and there's no better spot to relax in than the hot tub, right on the hillside! Smoking is fine here, as long as you keep it outside. Since creek depth is seasonal, please ask us about its status when you book.

Most of our guests gasp with surprise when they step inside for the first time! The living area has two walls of two-story windows that bring the stunning views indoors. Barn board and hardwood highlights fill the entire house, and central air, heat, and ceiling fans keep the whole space comfy. Two bedrooms feature two king beds and two queens, and a sleeper sofa that sleeps two guests rounds out comfortable sleeping arrangements for up to eight people.. There's a well-appointed kitchen, and a washer/dryer combo is also available. The two full baths both have showers, and the upstairs one includes a tub, as well. All bed and bath linens are provided for your stay. Finally, there's a smart TV installed with 40 free channels, Roku and a DVD player, and WIFI Internet service.

Rockin B has 4 houses on the property. Family reunions and retreats for up to 26 guests are easily accommodated at the Creek View Barndominium, Summit House, Bluff House and the Love Shack spread across the 55 acres.

Awesome Views
The location is close to several different towns to go do things and eat lots of different foods. Then when you are done you can go back and relax inside or outside the house with all the beautiful views and things to do around there.

amazing views
My wife and two daughters had a great time. The house has spectacular views of the hills with large windows facing the sunset. We enjoyed fishing at the creek, grilling, and relaxing in the hot tub at night. Nearby Boerne has several good restaurants and we visited A Cave Without a Name. The only thing we needed to do was buy a pack of playing cards, which we left at the house for future visitors. The owners were very kind & responsive. I would definitely book again, especially if we get some much needed rainfall.

We came here for the intent of not doing anything, yes it was hot but we are from Houston and it’s a different kind of heat there we were able to hang out outside all day or in the hot tub.The views you get from the hot tub you can’t get anywhere else.

Amazing view and location
My family of five absolutely loved this home. The views were amazing. We loved the hot tub and the beds were comfy. The location was perfect to neighboring towns. The kitchen had just what we needed as well and we loved walking the grounds. The only thing to note is that there aren’t ceilings for the living room and bedrooms, like a loft, so be aware of that with kids. We all went to bed at the same time so it worked for us! We would love to come back!

Pretty decent property.
To start, the view is to die for. Though the house was slightly outdated and there wasnt much privacy between rooms (both were loft-like), we really enjoyed our stay. Owner communication was great. They were very friendly and responsive.

This house blew us away. Never before had any of us stayed in a place with so many amenities. It's comfy, it's giant, it's peaceful, it's lovely. The location was quiet and secluded, but in close enough proximity to Boerne and Bandera. Thanks Spencer!

Loved our time here!
Beautiful location and very comfortable stay. We were sad the hot tub was not ready for immediate use upon arrival, and we did have issues with the hot tub thermostat as it did not seem to be accurate. However, we worked around that and had a fantastic time at Pipe Creek 🤗

The property was amazing and perfectly situated. Far enough and secluded but close enough to town to replenish our food needs. Also Bourne was such a cool little town to visit. Views were amazing and we were able to relax and reset ourselves. Loved it!!

Not Pet Friendly
During initial communication, I indicated that I was bringing our cat. There was no objection to this. After our arrival, we went to dinner. When we returned, we realized that the attic wasn’t closed off and our cat was in there. It was an open and exposed space. There was no way to keep her out of there. The next morning she came down covered in insulation. We packed up and asked for a refund on the remaining charges. Spencer denied this saying that cats are not allowed. I told him that this is not stated in the Vrbo listing. So we took the monetary hit.

Relaxing getaway in the Hill Country
Our family of four had a wonderful getaway to this lovely home. The Hill Country breezes kept us cool and the mosquitoes away. Janice and her fiancee were very accommodating and helpful. We had a fantastic time. We enjoyed the creek and were able to fish, swim, and kayak. We highly recommend this property. Our only caveat is that the house is one of 4 located on the 55-acre property and the creek is shared. It was never a problem for us but I imagine if all 4 houses are fully rented there may be some time when its hard to physically distance on the dock. That being said we enjoyed our time there and would recommend it.

Beautiful hill country property
The local "creek" is down the hill (not on the property) , and is very pretty but it is a lake not a flowing river so the water isn't anything like the Frio river, for example. Other than that, everything was very nice.
