The Coral Cottage was a wonderful place to stay. The bonus for us was access to Blanco State Park through the gate behind the cottage. Great for walking, swimming in the river or fishing. Our cottage was very clean and comfortable with both AC and a ceiling fan. The location of the cottage was near shopping and restaurants.
