Introducing Sotol – A Luxe Retreat with Panoramic Views

Nestled on an expansive, elevated lot and surrounded by its namesake plant, Sotol offers a private haven with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The Pedernales River wanders through the valley below, inviting you to explore nature's wonders over the property’s 5 acres, with direct access to 430 feet of Pedernales riverfront.

One of the highlights of this home is its vast balcony, a harmonious blendof covered and open spaces. Lounge in style amidst comfortable seating and a corner fireplace, while sleek glass garage doors can be lowered, providing shelter without compromising the panoramic views. A dining table and BBQ grill prep station complete this outdoor oasis, while a cornhole set below is ready for friendly competition. You’ll even find an outdoor shower for a convenient rinse after a day of exploring.

Inside, the common area exudes sophistication with vaulted ceilings, creating an airy ambiance. Relax in the sitting area or perch on barstools in the fully equipped kitchen, featuring a wine refrigerator, full-size ice maker, and a spacious island counter.

Sotol offers three exquisite bedrooms, ensuring ample space to unwind. The primary bedroom boasts an attached ensuite bathroom with a shower, standalone soaking tub, and dual sinks. Two additional rooms and another full bathroom with a shower ensure everyone has space and privacy.

    Great place to unwind with the family and enjoy the outdoors. Dealing with the management company is a bit of a pain: you pay a booking fee with VRBO, but the remaining balance via the management company's app. It doesn't always work, requiring some back-and-forth via their message system. At the time of booking, you're basically agreeing to full time monitoring by the company, but I only saw a single outdoor camera while staying. The home is great but could use a little TLC. Some amenities like the fireplace and outdoor shower weren't functional at the time of my visit. The mattresses may be a bit overdue for replacement, some of the blinds need a bit of repair, and the main bedroom fan remote was missing with the speed locked to hurricane mode. The lower recreational area needs a bit of a cleanup as well with some maintenance on the equipment. The positives definitely outweighed the negatives: amazing view, quiet location, with a lot of activities to keep the family engaged.

    If you love nature on a remote and peaceful mountain, you have arrived at the right place. This is a unique and beautiful 3 bedroom property with views out of every window. We loved the indoor outdoor patio on two sides of the home consisting of glass garage doors that could be opened to the deck weather permitting. The home has spacious living areas and a gourmet kitchen with ice machine and wine refrigerator. Bedrooms are tastefully decorated and comfortable. All in all a delightful place and met all our expectations.

    Home is beautifully decorated with a Round Top curated appeal. We visited in the fall and were able to open up all the doors to the outside in the evenings for unforgettable dinners al fresco. We hiked nearby Hamilton Pool Reserve, visited Texas Hill County Oil Company for lunch and shopping, took a cooking class, and tasted some delicious wines. It was the perfect girl's trip!

    This house is beautiful, great indoor/outdoor set up and a perfect spot for a remote getaway. Our group spent the majority of our time on the patio taking in the views, watching the deer, watching football, and stargazing at night.

    Everything about this rental was great. Love the house and the view It is very secluded. No road noise or traffic at all. The driveway could be a problem for cars or if it rains at all. All gravel and steep with a twist. I put the truck in 4x4 to make sure i didn't dig out the driveway anymore. Have good tires on your car and you should be okay.

    The pictures of this home are very good, but the actual home and views are better. The house was beautifully decorated, very clean, and well supplied. We spent most of our time on the open porch enjoying the fresh air and views. Our family have been using VRBO for vacation and travel sports for years, and this home is one of the best.

    We are 3 couples around 70 years old that totally enjoyed our very remote home. The view was expansive from the wrap around porch and sunroom. It was very clean, and so well supplied that you want for nothing. Even had fresh flowers! Very well equipped kitchen, spacious walk in showers, lovely furniture and design esthetics, luxurious bedding and inviting living room all led to a pleasant visit with old friends. As a note to less mobile guests, the home is one level, but there are maybe 15 steps from parking to the front of the house, and some don’t have hand rails. Also, there are numerous, beautiful throw rugs that we found ourselves tripping on sometimes.
