Bluebird Hill and Star Suite have everything needed for an adventurous and relaxing vacation! The beautiful free-form swimming pool with a waterfall will relax your stresses away. This property is on Blanket Creek, which is seasonal and great for wading and catching tadpoles.
This home is sitting on Indian Blanket Ranch, a 250 acre ranch, which has Bluebird Nestbox Nature Trails for bird watching, hiking, jogging, and mountain bikes. There are six benches spread out on the ranch for viewing wildlife and nature photography. The large deck upstairs is great for stargazing or bird watching. Relax in the hammock, hot tub, or pool, after a fulfilling day of hiking or cycling the trails.
It is located 10 miles west of Utopia, Texas and five minutes east of Garner State Park and the Frio River. This property is close enough for tubing and river fun, yet far enough away for privacy.
We provide a NEMA 14-50 Outlet in the vicinity of the driveway for EV charging. The plug is conveniently located within range of a standard Tesla mobile charger cord but can be used with any electric vehicle cord that has compatibility for this outlet. Bring your cord.

This will be our third year to stay here for the kids birthdays and we absolutely love it!! The privacy, nature and relaxation is amazing!! My husband and I usually break away twice a year just to get a refresher on our crazy lives and I bet it is beautiful there in the fall.
