Positive:
* Super fast internet.
*Clean.
*Strong water pressure.
*Great location. Only a block from Blanco Town Square.
*Private back yard with covered porch, chairs, table and a field of bluebonnet wildflowers.
*Secure fenced in area for a small dog.
*Nice neighborhood roads with light traffic for walking.
Negative:
*No instructions for how to use the A/C remote. YouTube has a short instructional video.
*Unit B front door is 30-ft from Unit C front door.
*No light over kitchen sink.
*The bed has two separate single sized foam mattresses on the bed frame, making it rather awkward for couples. Only two small single sized pillows are provided. The two king sized pillows on the bed are covered with pillow shams, with no king sized pillow cases available.
*The loft has a foam mattress available, but the head clearance is so low only a small child could use it. However, the steep ladder would be too dangerous for a small child.
*No broom and dustpan available for guest use.
*No TV channel guide. When scrolling thru channels, you get countless "You do not subscribe to this channel" results
*Both ceiling fan remotes share the same radio frequency ... they both respond to
either remote. You need to turn one off using the wall switch to control the other using the remote.
Overall:
We enjoyed our stay, especially the close proximity to town and the private back yard. However, with the existing mattress and pillow situation, we probably would not choose this unit again.

The house was exactly what we were looking for - a quaint little place in the Hill Country for a weekend. The property is modern while still keeping small town charm.
3.0
The house is cute and comfortable. We just encountered a couple problems on our stay. One was the front porch was completely covered with ice and we had to go and buy ice melt and apply it ourselves to keep from breaking our necks. Second problem was the tv didn’t work and the property manager was not able to get it working for the duration of our stay. We did not feel like much effort was made in resolving this issue, and the manager seemed busy with other projects more important than helping us.

We loved our stay at Blue Jay Getaway! It was a simple, relaxing place and well-located near plenty of activities. We enjoyed down time in the home as well as getting out and around the Hill Country. Will definitely keep on our list for possible return trips!

We enjoyed this wonderful little house—very comfy and cozy. There were a couple of minor glitches but no big deal. Be aware that the only coffee maker is a Keurig—bring your own coffee k-pods along with sugar and creamer. Lowe’s market has everything you need. Very peaceful and quiet neighborhood.

Clean and comfortable. Great location for quick trips to Johnson City, Albert, Luckenbach etc. 5 min or less to State Park and 2 minutes to town square for restaurants and drinks. Highly recommend for a “quick getaway” stay.

Quiet Weekend Retreat, Complete
Our first time using VRBO and it was perfect. We needed a weekend away from Austin's hustle/bustle, and this is just what the doctor ordered. In walking distance to the amazing downtown square and to the beautiful river too. Property was immaculate and new, and we would love to return again sometime for rest, relaxation & re-focus. Thank you!

Quiet and Cozy
We loved the stay here at this Property! It was the perfect size for my boyfriend and I, plus our dog. Bed was surprisingly comfortable considering it was two bed put together. Property was very clean and had everything we needed, just make sure to bring your own cooking items i.e. salt, pepper, cooking oil. I was initially concerned about my dog getting out of the enclosed yard space because the fencing is low but it worked out perfectly. We played board games on the patio and watch the stars at night. Very close to Blanco State Park and Old 300 BBQ (highly recommend). Also, driving distance to the wineries in Fredericksburg. We would defintiely love to come back!

Valentines weekend getaway
The cabin is extremely cute, almost perfect for what we were looking for. Was extremely clean! Only negatives was it was a little difficult to find in the dark as the letter can be seen from the driveway and the ac/heater was a little difficult to figure out how to operate.

What a great cabin! It had everything we needed and was so close to downtown Blanco. Loved being tucked away. Even though it's in a neighborhood, there's an open field behind the cabin to wake up and watch the chickens peck around in the field. Really quiet and peaceful. The property manager was very helpful and quick to respond to our questions. We look forward to staying here again!
