The Fall Creek Retreat

Property Type : Houses

Property Description

An absolutely stunning water property located just a short drive south of Kerrville in the highly sought-after Fall Creek road area. The Fall Creek Retreat consists of three rental homes (two of which are booked as a single unit) on a private 230-acre Hill Country property with waterfront access including a creek, waterfall and small lake. The retreat is located near Kerrville, the unofficial capital of the Texas Hill Country. Ask us for more information about renting these homes separately.

This beautiful 5,000 square foot home is located on the sparkling spring-fed Fall Creek, which begins on the property and winds through the grounds to supply clear water to a three-acre lake. As you enter the Homestead, you will be amazed at the unique decor, vaulted wood beamed ceilings, floor to ceiling stone fireplace, open living spaces and abundance of natural light. The home truly provides guests with everything needed to experience a true Hill Country vacation experience.

The large kitchen is truly unique with a southwest inspired mural and gorgeous beamed ceilings. Further, the kitchen is fully equipped with all appliances and utensils needed to prepare a home cooked meal or quick snack.

The great room offers ample seating around a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with views of the surrounding Hill Country. There are two wonderful dining areas; one, the breakfast nook, which overlooks Fall Creek and the Hill Country, creates a perfect spot to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. The second, a larger dining table that comfortably seats up to 9 guests, sits between the living area and kitchen, creating a unique and social dining experience for larger groups. In the entertainment area you will find a standard sized pool table.

The home has two large bedrooms; the larger master bedroom has two cedar post queen beds, television and a sleeper sofa. The second bedroom has two queen beds, and both have and plenty of closet and drawer space.  Both rooms have abundant natural light and luxurious space for up to six guests. All rooms have high quality mattresses and linens, therefore guaranteeing guests a good night's rest. Two extra rollaway beds are available upon request. The two bedrooms share a spacious full bathroom with a large glass shower and double vanity, and all needed toiletries and towels are provided.

Included as part of the Homestead is the nearby Casita rental cabin! This spacious secondary guest home sits adjacent to the Homestead and offers additional accommodations for up to five more people in your group. The Casita offers a spacious room with 20-foot ceilings and exposed beams, an adobe wood burning fireplace, two queen beds, a full-sized futon, sitting area, kitchenette, front porch seating area and an outdoor grill. Large windows let in lots of natural light and stunning views of the surrounding Hill Country.

The Homestead was designed for outdoor living. Not only do you have the spectacular views from the interior of the home, but there are also several outdoor spaces set up for seating and dining. Guests will be transported to a simpler time as they sit on the front porch listening to the sounds of the creek and waterfalls and enjoying the wildlife. Farther down from the creek is the lake where guests can do catch and release fishing, go bird watching, or simply relax.

What guests are saying...

Carlos Royo
Loved the house. Everything about it was comfortable and inviting. The Hillhouse was a pleasant surprise. The land is truly beautiful. The owners were nice, came at the end of our stay to ensure everything was to our liking. The owner Karl Kinsell walked the property with me and it was great connecting with him. The wildlife there was so plentiful. I played guitar and flute by the natural amphitheater and the mallards would fly to where I was. An amazing experience. Deer would come out throughout the day. The property is a Texas gem. Thank you Backroads and Karl for everything. Many blessings, Carlos Royo

This home is AMAZING!! We had such a wonderful experience and grateful that you can still get a feel of Texas life on a ranch. Our family felt that this was one of our best family getaways ever!!! We want to stay there again!!
