OUR GUEST HAUS: Our ranch is located on
a hilltop about 10 miles northwest of Johnson City, 25 miles east
of Fredericksburg, 20 miles north of Blanco, and south
of Llano and Marble Falls in central Blanco County, Texas. We are about 45 miles west of
Austin and 60 miles north of San Antonio.
Our Guest Haus is a free-standing B and
B structure recently completed with an upscale western theme.
It
has one
queen bed, plus one couch/hide-a-bed (queen,
sleeps 2), ac/heat, microwave, coffee
maker, toaster, refrigerator/freezer, shower (no tub). Furnished with
all linens, dishes, flatware and glassware. Capacity: 2 adults and 2
children.
Free Wi-Fi
internet access in the room and nearby outside. Stereo, DVD player
& screen. No TV or phone
service. Most cell phone services work
here.
We
provide a robust continental breakfast consisting
of coffee, juices, yogurt, cereal and milk, fresh fruit,
scones and occasionally pastries. Special
arrangements can sometimes be made for prepared
meals and treats, as described below.
Need another room or more? Call us and we can help
arrange something with our nearby network of guest rooms and B&B's.
The
front deck faces the northwest
panoramic view. This roomy deck provides a convenient place to
sit and enjoy your company or read a book.
Your private yard area is a
few steps away from the deck, shaded by
many old oak trees, with a two-seater swing, picnic table, yard chairs and a stone camp
fire ring (burn ban may be in effect; free
fire wood).
Smoke free environment inside.
Smoking permitted outside.
This is much
like an elegant western bunk house, but not
a villa, cabin, cottage or motel room. This guest house is in
the German influenced area of the Hill Country, hence
the word "haus". It is a bed & breakfast format.
This is a perfect getaway vacation
rental in a B&B style
but with a robust continental breakfast and lots of beautiful
outdoor space.
OUR RANCH
SETTING: Nestled in the heart of the Texas
Hill Country, our Sandy Road Guest Haus is in an idyllic setting on a private
ranch just north of Johnson City, but far enough away to see the stars
clearly at night and to enjoy the deer and birds during the day.
There are abundant activities
and attractions in the area, including antique shops, state parks,
the LBJ National Historical Park and Visitors Center, shopping, art
galleries, wineries, antiques, and night-time entertainment.
Your hosts,
George & Sharon Cofran, invite you to join them as special guests in a
beautiful outdoor setting overlooking the Sandy Valley from about 100 feet
above the County Road. The views are spectacular. The sunsets are
often breathtaking!
Come
in the afternoon or early evening for wine and
gourmet treats (see special services below). Look closely and you may see
deer and some true long horn cattle. Our ranch is open range
(meaning no fencing except near our house), so all the cattle and other
animals roam free. We regularly see wildlife, including rabbits,
squirrels, turkeys, and a wide variety of birds. Hummingbirds and
cardinals are frequent.
