Description from owner
Description
The new Wimberley Retreat on the Blanco is now welcoming guests. The Retreat offers a unique experience with a brand new house with luxurious pool and spa that sits on 10 private acres with access to 600 feet of deep river frontage on the Blanco River. The house is a custom built stone and stucco home designed by Chagnon Architecture with 3400 square feet of living space and an additional 1500 square feet of covered porch for extended living space. Four bedrooms and 5 full baths allow for ultimate flexibility to cater to large families, reunions, girls weekends or just folks trying to escape to the Texas Hill Country.
Opposite the house and across the river is a cliff that overlooks the property and allows for ideal privacy and quiet. Few other homes are in sight, allowing the stars to shine bright at night. Escape the city pace and traffic for relaxation on the river or by the pool, with family or friends or co-workers. Have coffee on wraparound covered porch in the morning while a flock of wild turkeys roam the yard or several deer drink from the river. Enjoy an evening drink under the stars or next to the stone fireplace on the porch.
The river itself has something for all ages with shallow areas perfect for small children as well as several deep swimming areas of 4-5 feet in depth. We are lucky to be located on a part of the Blanco that has deep water even in extended drought periods. The private grassy ten acres of The Wimberley Retreat provide more than enough room for everyone to run, play, throw a ball or frisbee, have a kickball game, or just explore the wonders of nature: birds, fish, turtles, frogs, lizards, butterflies, and wildflowers. Some fishing and butterfly nets are provided. Feel free to bring your fishing poles, river shoes, kayaks and canoes.
The pavilion area is situated about 50 yards from the house and provides additional gathering space and activities for the group. It has additional dining and seating space overlooking the Blanco River below, a fire pit for night time s'mores creations and an adjustable Goalrilla basketball goal for pick up basketball games.
The Wimberley Retreat house is perfect for large gatherings. The great room, with several huge windows facing the pool and bluff, is open to the kitchen and dining area seating 12. The outdoor covered porch has dining for 12 as well as several lounging areas. The kitchen is equipped with all appliances, extensive food and drink preparation and serving ware, and indoor/outdoor dishes to accommodate any large meal. Each of the 4 large private bedrooms have attached full bathrooms. An additional full bath is located off the 1st floor entry hall and serves what could be a 5th bedroom, what we call the Bonus Room. The Bonus Room has a large flat screen TV, and plenty of sitting area, toys and games, sit it can be an additional gathering space or an area where the kids can have space of their own. Use the queen sized sleeper sofa in the Bonus Room for additional sleeping space. There will be 3 king beds, 2 queen beds and 2 twin beds in total, along with the sleeper sofa in the Bonus Room. Movies, books, coloring books, puzzles, and games for all ages will be in the Bonus Room closet, along with a cable TV and music system. Whether you are planning a mini-reunion, ladies getaway trip, couples gathering, team-building session for a small group, multi-generation family gathering, shopping or winery tour, or celebrating a special birthday or milestone, the Wimberley Retreat will provide all of the privacy, space, and amenities your group will need.
Area Attractions: Explore the areas around Wimberley including the Blue Hole park for another great swimming area. Or visit Gruene, TX and the historic Gruene Hall and the Guadalupe River where tubing opportunities are plentiful; Visit the Driftwood and Duchman wineries nearby or partake in some stellar Texas BBQ at the Salt Lick. There are plenty of opportunities for dining and shopping in town or visit the San Marcos outlet stores 15 miles away. Or try other outdoor activities such as a zipline adventure, trips to the local state parks such as Pedernales Falls State Park and Enchanted Rock or even road biking many of the beautiful roads in the area.

Response from the owner Thanks for staying Don, we enjoyed having you. The issue with the trash is our trash company delayed pick up from Friday to Monday for some reason which left us with overly full trash cans. This is not a normal occurrence, but happens once in a while due to being in the country. On the ice, we have two fridges one of which is not producing ice. The fridge in the laundry room produces ice and filtered water through our reverse osmosis system.
