There was olive oil and salt and pepper (along with many other spices) available. The ice maker was not working in the freezer. Great quality and options for pots, pans, dishes and knifes. Bathrooms are a bit small but manageable. Nicely decorated. There is a sofa bed. The river access is great and the water is about 5 feet deep. A little fox would come visit in the evening. We would rent again.

Relaxing location

We enjoyed our stay. Downtown wimberly was only 10 mins away which has a lot of shops and a HEB. About 25 mins from floating the horseshoe. We seen largemouth and even catfish in the river behind the house and deer came to visit frequently. The location is very quiet and relaxing.

Blanco River

Location was great with easy check in, host was very communicative. House sits right on the blanco river, the stairs down to the bank are not for the faint. Beds were comfortable. Hot tub was okay, could use a cleaning also the grill outside is no good. Had a hard time keeping the flames going and had a rusted out hole right in the middle. I would definitely rent this house again.

Perfect getaway for HS senior daughter and I

Loved this beautiful property. About 12 min drive into Wimberly and absolutely loved how quiet and private this neighborhood was. Close enough to town but private enough to play around in the river or explore along the river without a bunch of people around. Daughter looking into TX State so only 20 min drive to campus so that was nice as well. We are staying here again for Bobcat days in October! Highly recommend and owner’s very responsive to messages. 👍👍👍

Great escape

We were very pleased with the property and the view of the Blanco from the large balcony that faces the river. Such a tranquil setting near the shops in Wimberley, just a few miles to shops and restaurants. There was a problem with the stovetop (2 burners weren’t working) but the owner had a repairman out to fix it within hours of our notifying him/her. The steps from the house to the river can be challenging, especially on the way up so we packed a small cooler before heading down. That meant fewer trips up and down.

Wimberley Retreat

The property is located out of town and was very peaceful and quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay despite the fact that it felt like there had been a rushed cleaning job prior to arrival. The kitchen counters and cabinets were not thoroughly cleaned so hope that will be addressed for future clients. Lacks the nice homey touches of other properties in the area. Easily corrected issues.

Private yet close to town

We loved this place! Clean and comfortable. We loved the connivence to town with the feel of being in the middle of the woods. We saw tons of wildlife. Everyday we saw 2 gray foxes pass through the backyard. There are hummingbirds and deer all around and the view was amazing. There is an empty lot next door and thick woods beyond that. There is another home on one side but it appeared to be vacant during our entire week stay. Across the river is a ranch where we could see goats pass through every morning. I would definitely recommend this place and we plan to return.

We stayed here for our babymoon and the cabin was very clean and had just about everything we needed (had dish detergent, no laundry detergent, spices/oil were there, no coffee). The beds are pretty firm, but overall we enjoyed the stay. You are right on the river, but there is quite a hike down the stairs to get there. I was 8 months pregnant, so going down wasn't so bad but coming back up was a bit of trek. The river in general was pretty low, about hip height most of the span we checked. Our biggest issue was that it was clear that the neighbors are NOT HAPPY about this being a rental property. The entry to the river with the rope swing in the pictures is not private to this home and is used by all neighbors. There was one family that made quite a scene with us over it brought in reinforcements that was honestly just super uncomfortable and unnecessary. I don't think the listing made it clear that this was a shared entrance, so again just be aware and know that if neighbors are using it they aren't happy about this being a rental (sounds like it's the only one). Overall we could get to town in 10-15 minutes and enjoyed the location and stay overall.

Great location

Location was the best part of the stay. Beds were comfortable. Wifi strong. The house needs a kitchen update...cabinets are old and stained. Dishwasher would not start and locking mechanism did not work. Direct TV was ok but we were unable to get NFL games....odd to be in Texas and not get to watch football! Maybe there was a way but it was taking to long to find it.

Nice place overall

Overall, the place is nice. The following is an honest review of what to be aware of. It’s a mostly quiet neighborhood. There are neighbors so we did hear people doing things but nothing loud. Randomly during the day, the fire alarms went off twice. We were just sitting there. No cooking or fires of any kind going. Thankfully it didn’t happen while we were sleeping. They’ve cheaped out on a few things to save money which I know a lot of vacation rentals do. They had cheap toilet paper, paper towels, and scratchy bathroom towels. The hot tub is nice, but it wasn’t fully clean. It had dirt/sediment sitting on the seats and bottom.The view is great! The river is accessible but not easily. There are a lot (96 to be exact) of steep stairs! Also, not a lot of space to do much by the river once you get down there. I tried fishing with no luck (not a great time of year for that). It was hard to cast, however, because of the brush and trees. Again, nice but not quite five stars.

Beautiful outdoor space

My husband and a couple of our friends stayed at this location this weekend and here are my take aways. The outside was lovely! The water levels were perfect and we floated the river/ hot tubbed all weekend.if you’re looking at this location check the water levels! The beds were extremely comfortable and clean. The room to the right (if walking into the home) is where I stayed. Had an incident in the bathroom where I got locked inside. The door couldn’t be completely shut after that. The door to the room itself also gave us a hard time as well. The other room is where my friends stayed and their only complaint was there was a suspicious stain on the shower curtain. The couch was comfy but not big enough for 4 people to sit comfortably and one of us had to sit on the ground. I would Maybe suggest a smaller dinner table and maybe a sofa chair. The kitchen is a great size but only two burners work. We did have some bugs in the house as well but it is summer in the hill country. Over all we had a really great time but I would Say the home needs a bit of TLC and updates. The owner was responsive to any and all questions I had.
