Welcome to Luck of the Draw, A Non Smoking Vacation Rental - A PRIVATE HOME (1480 sq feet) located on the South Fork of the Guadalupe River and surrounded by beautiful 6 acres of natural habitat. Approximately 9 miles west of Hunt, TX on Highway 39. 3 Bedrooms 2 Bath (master and hollywood - guest) Our vacation rental is really our second home. Located in a canyon on the shallow headwaters of the Guadalupe River, this one story, wheelchair accessible house was finished in November 2006. The river is approximately 200 feet from the house. There is no road between the house and the river. The scenery is spectacular, and our deck is a wonderful vantage point to witness the different hues that are cast on the canyon wall during the day. We are not a subdivision so the property is still "natural". Occasionally, wonderful wildlife ambles down to the river. You are welcome to take as many pictures as you like, however, please no firearms! You might like to fly fish the shallows for rock perch or small bass (catch and release, please) or just sit and relax in the shallows . Bird watching is a joy! Be sure to keep your camera ready. |
Our vacation home is open to persons who enjoy being outdoors. The grounds are natural. Spring flowers are usually in full bloom in late March or early April and last through late June or early July. We supplement the native plants by sowing native flower seeds which attract butterflies and humming birds. Spring and Summer are perfect times to visit Luck of the Draw Cabin. For flower enthusiasts we usually have lots of wildflower, plus We are only about 45 minutes to Lost Maples State Park. Camp Families We are approximately 8 miles west of The Store in Hunt, TX on Highway 39 and therefore close to area camps such as Mystic, Heart of the Hills and La Junta. Camps on the north fork such as Waldemar and Camp Stewart take about 15 minutes. No other cabins are on the 6 acres. It is a perfect place to stay and have your own privacy! Walkers and cyclist love this area for its winding roads, beautiful landscapes and scents of native mint growing in the river. Lost Maples State Park is a 30-45 minute as is the quaint German town of Fredericksburg which has wonderful shopping all year round and the first class Nimitz Museum and challenging Enchanted Rock. Visit the "tab" House and Rates for other tourist attractions. Come relax and enjoy the unique beauty of this hill country haven. Fay Peters Owner/Agent |

"The river was wonderful – the mornings spectacular. It was probably one of the best times I have had with the kids in ages.

There is nothing quite like bringing family to the Luck of the Draw. The river is about 200 feet from the house with no road in between. The deepest is 4 feet which allows youngsters to learn how to swim and snorkel for perch. Grown ups can simply float, talk, read etc, without having to worry about a strong current. The view of the canyon is magnificent! |
Spring is gorgeous! Bring your camera! |
