Guest Access:
While travel time is less than 2 minutes on The Rock Road, for a smoother arrival, we recommend entering The Rock Road across from the entrance of Black Rock State Park. This route not only shortens the travel time on the rough road but also ensures a more comfortable transition into the secluded charm that awaits you. The Rock Road forms a loop. Please be warned, and drive 10mph or slower through the uneven road, bumps, and dimly lit entrance road. Our staff is able to access the property just fine in a small sedan if you know how to drive on unpaved roads.
Please ensure you activate your key code by signing the e-waiver (link sent to you in messages). Be sure to pull the door shut completely, and let the lock cycle finish before you try to enter (or the deadbolt will stick). If you have any issues accessing the property, please call Guest Services.
The Neighborhood:
We are in a rural area so please expect uneven country roads, cattle fencing, wild animals, etc. I am able to easily drive my small car to the property, but if you have a low sports car, just take extra caution.
Getting Around:
We have a convenient location around the hill country & Lake Buchanan, LBJ, Inks Lake and Marble Falls.
Other Things to Note:
Our Guest Services team is available 24/7 and usually responds within the hour. We also have an Emergency line for urgent matters. We do require a basic rental agreement to be signed to receive your key codes and use of the property.
