Come and enjoy the tranquility of the beautiful Medina River. The house sits on 2 acres and is privately located with 150ft of river front. Relish the beauty of nature and refresh yourself by relaxing & exploring the calm crystal water of the Medina River. At the end of the day relax on the 40ft Texas size covered porch overseeing the hill county. By night enjoy a cozy fire. La Hacienda Rio is a newly built home with all the furnishing and amenities you'll need to enjoy your stay.
La Hacienda Rio is located in a rural subdivision. The property has three different elevation levels of terrain. As you arrive you will drive pass the first level of land where deer rest and make their home.

The house is located on the second level providing scenic hill country and river views. In the morning enjoy a cup of coffee on the front or back porch while deer and other wild life come by and visit. Cook your meals in the beautiful rustic modern kitchen and dine on the Texas backporch. Relax with your family on the comfortable patio furniture, use the propane fire pit for the ambience or to keep warm. At dusk watch the bats flying around near the porch. By night take in the sky view and look for the Big & Little Dipper, make sure to download a constellation app. Enjoy some caveman TV - fire up the primitive fire pit during the day or night and have some delicious s'mores! We have plenty of fire wood for you to burn. There are several sitting areas to take in nature, read a book or lay on the boulders and watch the sky. Explore the wooded areas on the property and admire the birds chirping around. Be careful you may run into a deer.

On the third and bottom level is the Medina River with its beautiful crystal clear water flowing downstream. There are a few sitting areas and a picnic table with an umbrella for guests to use. Bring your picnic basket and drinks to spend the day by the river. This is the perfect location for you to get all the rest and relaxation you deserve from your daily life. Throw out a blanket and take a nap as you listen to the river babble. As you spend your day in front of the calm river, watch for deer herds crossing the river. The deer are most active during sunrise and dusk. Get a glimpse of the wildlife living on the river - egrets, turtles, mallard ducks and on occasion see the cattle roaming on the Walker Ranch. Trek down the river and explore the dinosaur prints, climb the boulders near by and immerse yourself in the water pockets directly in front of La Hacienda Rio. This is tranquility life.

At night retreat to the home and decompress in the fine furnishing and comfort La Hacienda Rio has to offer!

Deeper water is located nearby. As you are looking at the river go left for fishing, swimming and kayaking.

There is an RV site available for rent for an additional fee. If your family or friends own an RV they can rent the site so they can join you during your stay at La Hacienda Rio. The RV site is located on the first level of the property. Make sure to inquire on the RV site fittings for electrical, water and sewer.

Our second stay and we are already trying to figure out when to return! By far our favorite place. The river is low, but so much fun to walk as far as your legs can take you. It is absolutely beautiful out there. There are so many deer, at all hours of the day, my son loved feeding them. The house has everything you need, very clean. Sitting on the patio with the fire table or down by the water is so relaxing and peaceful. We can't wait to come back.

Great getaway home. The pictures don't quite do it justice. The water level was very low due to a very bad drought, but it did not stop us from exploring. I would definitely bring my family back. Laura and Perry made it very easy for us to feel right at home. Overall, it was a great stay.

The kids and I enjoyed the stay so much. We had fajitas on the bbq pit and s’mores by the fire. Saw/fed deer morning and evening. The walk to the park for the deeper water was easy and the area was beautiful. Loved all the spaces to sit. The house was beautiful and smelled amazing. The bottle of wine was a nice treat. Can’t say enough good things!!!

So upon checking in which was simple and easy, the house was immaculate. Laura and perry prepared us beforehand with what to expect and the perfect place to fish/ take a dip. The water was not deep behind the house which was great for my two year old. Every day/evening we saw plenty of wildlife. We roasted s’mores and grilled out one night which was so peaceful and nice. They literally had everything we needed. They are so accommodating and responsive. Very friendly. If you are looking for a getaway from the city life this is it. We did a day trip to Fredericksburg and came back ready to relax and that’s what we did. I just want to thank Laura and perry for their hospitality and kindness. Thank you for allowing my family in your home. Memories that wil last a lifetime.
