Left Fork- Private pool, fire pits, stargazing
If you are ready to embark on a Hill Country Getaway to remember, don’t follow the crowd…take the Left Fork.
This unique and charming vacation rental located in the heart of the Blanco River Region of the Texas Hill Country sits conveniently located between two popular destinations. Wimberley, known for it’s abundance of artists and charming town square is only minutes away. Driftwood, home of the original Saltlick BBQ restaurant as well as several popular wineries and vineyards is just a few minutes in the other direction.
As you turn down the drive to this cottage you will see the Longhorn cattle grazing in the field as you make your way to your destination. As you climb the stairs to the entry door you will notice the lovely seating area under the covered patio complete with propane grill. Once you enter the home, you cannot help but be enchanted by the rustic elegance of the tastefully selected furnishings and décor.
The open kitchen living and dining are both spacious and comfortable. The open ceiling with exposed beams add to the rustic flair while the beautifully updated kitchen provides balance to the décor. There is one full bathroom upstairs with a walk in shower and a sleeping loft off the living area with a twin daybed.
The two bedrooms are located downstairs where they can share another full bath complete with clawfoot tub and hand held shower attachment. Laundry facilities are also available for guest use for your convenience.
If you are looking to spend time outside, you cannot find a better spot! The unique pool is a definite focal point. A traditional “in-ground” pool but raised to fit with the rustic ambiance of the surroundings. The pool is 5 feet deep and provides a perfect place to cool down in the hot summer months. There is a picturesque outdoor dining area under the majestic oaks and a cozy fire pit, perfect for an evening under the stars.
Whatever your reason for visiting the Hill Country, you won’t regret the choice to take the Left Fork!

One of my favorite all time VRBO properties. If you love Central Texas, this is the place to stay.

This home was great for a relaxing weekend getaway surrounded by nature. The moment that the gate opened, we were welcomed by about 10 beautiful longhorns surrounding the driving path to the house. The home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Unfortunately, we were not really able to enjoy the two things we look forward to the most, swimming during the day and sitting around the fire at night. There was a county-wide fire ban and the water in the private pool was way too cold for swimming, even though the weather got up to 93 degrees. We still made the best of it and enjoyed the stay.

My husband and I wanted to disconnect and relax for a few days and this property was perfect. Check-in and out was stress free. The cottage was nice and cozy. The pool was always cool and inviting. We had longhorn and deer visitors on two separate mornings. There are plenty of places to eat and things to see in Driftwood or just a short drive away in Wimberly. We absolutey enjoyed our stay and will book again!

The location is perfect with restaurants, vineyards, and parks to explore. The property itself was so nice off the beaten path. Love the wood interior. Appreciated the messages around the home to care for the property, the water softener/purifier, the pool, the patio to look up at the stars or over the property. The mattress was surprisingly comfortable. Loved the nook area upstairs to take a nap on or just lounge. Loved the variety of areas to sit inside and outside. Very Texas feel of the main room upstairs.4 out of 5 star rating. The only complaint would be the amount of dust in the house (fans, baseboards, and blinds.

One of the nicest VRBOs we have stayed at. The property was absolutely beautiful. Super clean and the beds were so comfy. Had everything we needed. The pool was definitely a plus. Hill Country Premier Lodging was very informative and very courteous. We would recommend this VRBO to everyone. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay.

My sisters and I and my mom stayed here for Mother's Day wknd and really enjoyed the house and property. It was very quiet and private and clean. It's also very cute and within 10 min or so to Wimberly. The weather didn't cooperate for us to enjoy the pool, but that's a nice bonus when it's warm out. I would definitely stay here again!
