Cozy and clean loft on the Blanco River - Minutes from downtown Wimberley!

Cozy and clean with country flair, Bandit’s Loft is a lovely affordable space perfect for a rustic retreat. This lovely getaway has a full kitchen complete with dishware and an electric range, and a gorgeous wooden deck providing beautiful sweeping views of hill country and beyond.

The wood-paneled walls and country décor provide an escape from the everyday and allow you to appreciate the simplicity of an older time. Savor a cup of fresh-roasted coffee as you enjoy the sunrise from your deck, then stroll down to the river for some early morning fishing.

It’s important to note that the loft is situated on some of the most gorgeous and exclusive river frontage in all of Wimberley. As most of the property surrounding the river is privately owned, staying at Bandit’s Loft provides a rare opportunity to enjoy some very sought-after Hill Country waterfront! And nothing beats a dip in the clear blue waters of the Blanco River after a full day of summer activities. The gentle current of the Blanco River while relaxing in inner tubes with family and friends.

Quite Space

Nice and quite little space above an unoccupied garage. House is older and floors were not level. The wall units where load and did not cool very well. The house was mostly clean, but landlord had skipped dusting for the month. The waterway was beautiful, but not swimmable. They are currently in a drought and the water was very shallow and warm.

Host was lovely and communicative. Property was quiet and in a beautiful neighborhood. Cabin was cozy and comfy, perfect for a pair of travelers looking for a relaxing getaway in this cute little town. So many fun things to do in Wimberley if you enjoy shopping, thrifting, being out in nature, and settling in for the night at a reasonable time.

Wonderful Location!

My husband and I stayed the weekend to celebrate our anniversary. Originally, we were planning to go to the river for a couple of hours and then go into town to shop/sightsee. Once we saw the river access, shopping was out the window! We spent all of Saturday sitting in chairs in the river. It was so beautiful and so peaceful! We saw deer with fawns cross the river and come up right between where we sat and the property! Additionally, the loft is only about 7 minutes to the popular restaurants in town, making it easy to go out to dinner. We would stay here again!

Cute cozy cottage

The cottage was really cute and cozy. Perfect for max two people. Really appreciated the cleanliness and all the amenities. We had everything we needed and enjoyed spending time on the cute front patio. We walked down to the river once but sadly it was bone dry and really grown over. The gazebo and firepit area as well as the general landscape going down to the river is in dire need of attention. Even though we thoroughly enjoyed the cottage and the price was terrific- parking was tight and the other two properties on site are a little too close for comfort.

Writers weekend

We loved this property. Cozy, compact, quiet. A fully working kitchen. My friend had the bedroom and I slept on a really comfortable sofa bed. Very clean and well apportioned. This is my second time here and I would go back again for another getaway. Lovely deck to have tea or wine on, a short walk to the river behind the property. This time there was no water due to the drought . But nighttime brought out a host of firefly’s. A darling little gazebo to read a book or watch the stars.

Cozy, delightful, unique

My girlfriend and I picked this place for access to the blanco river which was a great move with all the main swimming holes in town being reservation only/closed. The blanco is a pretty warm river and not especially full but it was great to sit in and soak up sun. The owner was friendly and welcomed us when we got in. If anything the pictures undersold how much natural light the cabin has during the day which was great. Fair warnings - the floor is a little off-level in some places which can make it feel like gravity is pulling in the wrong direction when walking, but we found this made for a more engaging experience. Also as others have noted the tp is 1-ply. That said there were some un-advertised amenities that were awesome: I think the place has been updated a bit since the pictures were taken, including a nicer bed, and a tasteful bathroom renovation. There’s wifi if you know your way around a router, and the water pressure is great. We loved our stay and will almost certainly come back

Booking agents lies and property is messy.

I messaged about details on this property. Distance to river and how much water is in river and can I kayak in it right now knowing we are in a drought. they said it can be kayaked and has more water than almost anywhere in the area. Turned out that the river bed was farther than stated and there was a trickle of water, maybe 2" deep in the deepest spot. water was dry in nearly the whole river area. Owner met me the next morning and stated she knows the booking agents lie and hoped they did not MISLEAD me on the listing. She is aware of the issue and still uses them, so she is ok with them lying about it. I do NOT recommend this property unless you just want a place to sleep close to Wimberley. add in the messy property and vehicles taking up space to park, it was not a great exprience.

Close-in and country

We enjoyed the Blanco River location so close to town. The property was clean and had a kind of country feel in the furnishings and supplies. We got a friendly greeting from the owner as we unloaded. The weather was cold so we had less time to enjoy the river, which was running on the low side. The extra blankets provided were welcome, as were the generous kitchen supplies. Quirks: the ceiling fan/light in the LR was not working. The toilet paper was unacceptably cheap and thin--fortunately another reviewer tipped us to bring our own. My partner owns a short-term-rental unit and was mystified. The wifi password did not work (there was some ambiguity about what it was on the sheet provided under the TV). I strongly recommend that the rental agreement be made available to review BEFORE booking, through a link on the listing. The terms are many, stricter, and more punitive than I have encountered before, and the tone was far from welcoming. When I signed and returned the rental agreement, I got another notice that it had not been returned. When I called in to investigate, it turned out that the returned form was indeed in their inbox, unnoticed by staff. Given that we paid a hefty cleaning fee for a two-night stay, the terms specified for guests cleaning up before the cleaners were mystifying. We didn't take it personally and we had a good time. Perhaps it reflects on the length of stay and quality of guest encountered in the past.

Cozy, clean, comfortable and friendly

Located on the banks of the Blanco River nestled in the Texas Hill county, the cozy, well furnished little loft is sure to make you smile. The California King sized bed is one of the most comfortable beds I have slept on including my own. ( and I have a purple brand of mattress! ). The property is located just a few scant miles out of Wimberley, Texas where there is something always going on. Arguably the best swimming hole in Texas is located within its city limits. Artist flock to this little town because of its positive vibes. You can't go wrong with this combination.
