The Blue Jay was a perfect place to get away from the stresses of life. The cabin is cute and comfortable with anything you could want or need. We enjoyed mornings and evenings on the back porch watching the deer.
Location was good, close to town. Some 'nice to have' items: a king size bed mattress instead of two twin. A regular bar of soap or more than 1 hotel size soap, tissue.
We absolutely loved this VRBO! Our stay was perfect! It was very clean and so cute! I would buy it if it ever came up for sale!

Cute cabin
Cute cabin, very clean and peaceful. We were upset it listed a grill and one wasn't on site, minor thing but we planned a weekend getaway of outdoors and grilling.
It is a beautiful cottage, in a traditional little Texas town. Plenty to do and places to relax and have a fine meal. I wasn't there for a get away, rather a place to stay and study while attending a nearby training. The cottage was very comfortable and a perfect place to quietly study and relax. One suggestion, there are several remotes in the cabin, have extra batteries available. The TV batteries were going out which was a bit frustrating the first night. Fortunately there were batteries for sale very near by.
Really enjoyed staying at the Blue Jay getaway and would definitely stay again. Some of the towels could use a bleach and I think a Brita pitcher would be helpful for the Keurig so you don't use tap water, but otherwise no complaints. Easy to get to, easy to get to the square, beautiful views out the back (loved getting to sit and watch the deer), and it felt safe to be at alone. I missed the first email with the door code and when I called, the company was quick to send me a new email and stay on the phone to make sure I was able to get in. Since these two houses are so close, it would be great for two couples or family members wanting to stay close together but have their own space
Quaint little cabin within walking distance of the little square in Blanco. The only negative, isn't really a negative against the property itself, but one that would keep us booking again, is that we largely chose this place because we wanted to check out Blanco State Park. It was underwhelming. Parts of it were under maintenance, so perhaps that is why, but there just didn't seem to be much to it.
