Embark with us on our amazing Hill Country Eclipse Journey! By astronomical luck, the Hill Country will be in the path of total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, 2024. We have 125 great vacation homes in the region, covering 21 Hill Country towns, all in the eclipse "bullseye." Experience the enchantment of the darkest night skies, while witnessing the finest solar eclipse viewing in the Hill Country.

This beautiful and spacious vacation home rental 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. The 230 acres are home to abundant plants and wildlife, including Axis and white-tailed deer, beautiful oak trees and expansive Hill Country views.

As you enter the Homestead, you'll 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 to experience a memorable 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 the appliances and utensils you'll need to prepare a home-cooked meal or quick snack.

The great room offers comfortable 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 nine guests, sits between the living area and kitchen, creating a great social dining experience for larger groups. In the entertainment area you'll find a standard-sized pool table and plenty of room to chat and relax.

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.

The Fall Creek 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 socializing 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.

Stan Wall
Probably the most-unique property we've had the pleasure of visiting. Beautiful scenery with deer, birds, and other wildlife. The house is well-outfitted and suited for outdoor sitting and enjoyment. We had an excellent visit. Thanks again.
Kirk Wiginton
We had a blast with our family and enjoyed this beautiful home and property. We decided this would be the start of many family traditions, staying and celebrating at this beautiful place of heaven on earth. Thank you and we look forward to our next trip.

Fall Creek was ideal for a family getaway. We were celebrating a 60th birthday. It is a peaceful, quiet place to relax and enjoy nature. There is no one else around except the deer. The house is fairly remote and is 25 min. from Kerrville center. The house itself is enormous with the feel of a hunting lodge. Although not brand new, it was clean and very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and we enjoyed cooking on the commercial grade oven and grill. The beds and showers were nice. Our family enjoyed taking a hike, playing games, kayaking in the small pond, cooking together, and chatting by the outdoor fireplace. It was a bit expensive for the weekend but worth the experience.

We love our stay at this beautiful property. It was just what we needed — a quiet, beautiful get away in the middle of nowhere. We loved seeing the wildlife, taking walks, and swimming in the swimming hole. In cold weather, fires in every fireplace would be a treat. The house is so unique and we felt very privileged to stay there. I’m pretty picky about stuff and I was pleased with the pillows and sheets. The house was very clean. (Even the floor. How does anyone keep a floor that clean?!) This is a must-stay!

This architectural ranch house is really cool, and the property and surroundings are gorgeous. So fun to see deer, birds, ducks, etc., while you drink your morning coffee. We had a wonderful time! Thanks to our host for such great communication. :) Thanks for accommodating our early arrival and for being so quick to reply! The house is great!!

We loved our stay in Kerrville! A perfect COVID getaway. Didn’t see a single person the whole time we were there. Even in the heat of summer, we enjoyed the porch And the view all day long.
