The two guesthouses are on 15 acres overlooking the Pedernales River. The view from the houses is gorgeous. We (your hosts) live on the property with our cat and golden retriever.

Summary: We stayed two nights at “The Ponder.” It was a perfect spot for us. We were in the area for some family business, so we were sad that we didn’t get to spend as much time at the property as we wanted. We could have sat for hours on the deck overlooking the river. Just so beautiful and relaxing. We did work in a hike; down to the river and along about a mile along the riverbed. We had planned to go for a short hike in a nearby park, but why? When you have your own park to enjoy peacefully! Entry instructions were clear and easy to follow and everything was in order in the house. The home is the perfect size for a couple to enjoy some time together. We have to be back that direction again later this summer and are hoping that the event we are attending is close enough to stay here again…if it works logistically, we will definitely be back… Highly recommend!
