Additional rules: By booking, we acknowledge: This rental apartment sits adjacent to the Main House (listed separately, and also listed combined for total exclusivity). It has 2 shared walls with the main house, but is completely separate & secure. We agree to maintain polite noise levels and to not block guests in the driveway parking area (there is plenty of parking space). Noise Ordinance is 9pm. We have noise decibel over time sensors in the house that do not record anything. There are no cameras inside the property per state laws. We agree to maintain polite noise levels, especially during quiet hours. I understand we are not to go into the backyard or side yards of the main house, as these are solely for the private use of the Main House Guests. I acknowledge the short dirt road leading up to the house can be difficult to navigate by small car if you are not accustomed to ranch roads. Owner will provide instructions for safest route to the property for those driving cars. **Please be sure to put your correct dates and quantity of people in your group for accurate pricing** AirBnB requires this in their user terms. We are a small local business, not a corporation. We will make every reasonable effort to ensure you have a 5 star stay. We just ask for communication if you find anything unsatisfactory. We do ask that if you can not leave a kind review & provide constructive *private* feedback, please book elsewhere. Private constructive feedback is taken very seriously so we can quickly improve the situation before the next guest arrives - which is why public criticism is often obsolete & not relevant for future booking guests. We require a short rental agreement to be signed by booking guest. This will be sent to you immediately after booking. We reserve the right to charge for additional cleaning above and beyond basic laundry and sanitation. Per AirBnB user terms, failure to follow house rules forfeits your right to leave a review.

A privacy screen separates your sitting area from the parking area, creating a comfortable sense of separation while preserving the beautiful lake and Hill Country views.

YOUR PRIVATE SPACE ON A 3-ACRE PROPERTY Black Rock Ranch occupies a spacious 3-acre Hill Country property with beautiful lake views and open surroundings rather than closely packed neighborhood homes. Your reservation includes the private Guest Suite, its designated side-porch sitting area, separate exterior entrance, and reserved parking. The remaining acreage and outdoor amenities are reserved for Main House guests and are not included with the Guest Suite. Main House guests may be staying on the property during your visit. Both accommodations are designed with separate living spaces, exterior entrances, and outdoor areas to provide privacy and independence. The Main House, backyard, plunge pool, cabana, and Main House decks and patios are not shared with Guest Suite guests. Only the front driveway and Level 2 EV charging station are shared between the accommodations. PARKING & EV CHARGING Enjoy your own reserved parking space just 30 feet from your Guest Suite entrance, making unloading luggage and coming and going easy! A shared Level 2 EV charging station is also available, thoughtfully tucked away from the main driveway so charging vehicles won't block traffic or other guests' access. The front driveway and EV charger are shared with the Main House, while your designated parking space is reserved exclusively for Guest Suite guests. EASY ARRIVAL & RURAL ROAD ACCESS Enjoy convenient self-check-in, reserved parking, and access to our digital Guest Guide to help plan your stay. The final approximately 200 yards to Black Rock Ranch are along an unpaved rural gravel road with a few bumps. Standard sedans can generally navigate it without difficulty when driven slowly, around 5 mph. Just take your time, watch for uneven spots, and enjoy the beautiful Hill Country scenery along the way! HILL COUNTRY ADVENTURES Black Rock Ranch makes a convenient home base for exploring Lake Buchanan, Inks Lake State Park, Longhorn Cavern, Kingsland, Llano, Burnet, Marble Falls, local wineries, hiking, fishing guides, and the surrounding Highland Lakes. Our locally operated Guest Services team and digital Guest Guide are available to help make your visit comfortable and enjoyable. PRIVACY, SECURITY & GUEST COMFORT Your Guest Suite is thoughtfully designed for privacy and independence, with its own exterior entrance and outdoor lake-view sitting area. The suite is buffered from the adjoining Main House by a short hallway with TWO exterior-grade security doors, one at each end. Both remain securely locked during separate reservations, providing excellent physical separation and no shared interior access. The connecting design also allows the suite to serve as a convenient ground-floor king bedroom for extended families reserving the entire property, especially those who prefer to avoid upstairs bedrooms. We've also invested in significant sound-insulation improvements in 2026 to enhance guest comfort. While the suite is located beneath part of the Main House, where other guests may be staying, these improvements help minimize everyday sound transfer. As with any multi-unit property, occasional bumps or other sounds may still be heard. Most guests enjoy a peaceful, comfortable stay, and we're committed to keeping it that way! If anything disrupts your stay, please reach out. Our 24/7 emergency support line is available for issues requiring immediate attention, and we're always happy to help. For additional comfort, we also provide a white-noise machine with several relaxing nature and ambient-sound settings. The last 200 yards is a crushed granite road that may be a little bumpy & uneven. As long as you are driving carefully 10mph, sedans do not have a problem accessing the property. Our cleaners drive sedans several times per week and never have an issue. We recommend entering the street across the street from Black Rock State Park to shorten the drive on this country road. Please note the sign for apartment parking on the gravel drive. You should park where you can read the reserved parking sign from your driver seat. Take care not to block in or get blocked in by other guest by parking on the concrete driveway. Access door to the apartment is on the left side of the driveway behind a privacy screen. Please do not try to access the main house or backyard of the Main House. We're here to ensure you have a fantastic stay! Our Guest Services team is available with live support 7am-7pm every day, and AI supported + emergency phone number for after hours support. The best way to reach us is via the platform messaging system or text messaging thread we set up for all guests, and we typically respond in 45 minutes or less. For urgent matters, such as emergencies with repairs, please specify that in your message or contact our phone number and we will prioritize it accordingly.
