The Blanco River is calling your name!! Come and enjoy!!
Our home is a 2.5‑story property located just off River Road in Wimberley. Guests enjoy private access to the second and third floors, while our private residence is located on the lower level. The guest space includes three bedrooms with queen‑size beds (sleeping up to six guests) and two full bathrooms, along with full use of the kitchen, a large deck on the second floor, and a small balcony on the half‑story above. A Pak‑N‑Play is available upon request.
For groups larger than six, please note that linens and pillows are not provided for additional sleeping arrangements. Guests bringing a seventh or eighth person should plan to bring their own sleeping bag or air mattress. Our base rate covers four guests, with a $25 per‑person, per‑night fee for additional guests. We keep our pricing accessible so smaller groups can enjoy the peaceful Hill Country setting. The property offers beautiful sunsets, abundant wildlife—including deer, turkeys, foxes, raccoons, and a variety of birds—and a truly relaxing atmosphere. We are conveniently located three miles from Wimberley Square and close to local wineries, the outlet mall, Gruene, San Antonio, and Austin. The river is within walking distance, and our subdivision includes two large private riverfront parks for guest use. Outdoor amenities include a gas grill on the deck, a backyard fire pit, and a charcoal/wood barbecue pit. Inside, guests will find a full‑size kitchen and comfortable living spaces. Whether you prefer relaxing on the newly renovated deck, watching wildlife, enjoying the sunset, or exploring local wineries, lavender fields, and The Square, there is something for everyone. We also provide s’mores fixings for evening campfires.
The views from the deck or balcony are exceptional—you may spot deer, birds, squirrels, and occasionally a fox. It’s an ideal place to enjoy a book, a glass of wine, or a peaceful nap.
We are available to interact with guests as much or as little as they prefer. While we live downstairs on the first floor, guests have their own private entrance to the upper levels. A locked door in the kitchen separates the guest space from our residence.
We welcome up to two small‑to‑medium dogs (under 50 lbs) with a $50 pet fee per dog. For the safety of our wildlife and the comfort of all guests, dogs must remain leashed outdoors, kept off the furniture, and kenneled when left alone inside. Excessive shedding that requires additional cleaning may result in an added fee. Cedar Oak Mesa is a deer‑friendly neighborhood, and calm, quiet dogs help keep our wildlife safe—excessive barking can frighten the deer into the road. Bath towels provided in the home are for indoor use only. Please bring your own towels for the river or for pets. Additional fees may apply if provided towels are used for outdoor activities or animals.
High‑speed, reliable internet is available throughout the guest space. If you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle, Wimberley offers the perfect place to unwind. We are close to Austin, San Antonio, New Braunfels, and numerous wineries. Please feel free to reach out with any questions about our property—we’re always happy to help.

My family and I stayed in Wimberly, Texas to attend a niece's wedding. We were busy with lots of wedding festivities but enjoyed coming home each night to our VRBO and loved waking each morning to cups of morning coffee on the porch with wildlife and songbirds. What a nice get away. The owners were friendly, helpful, and welcoming.
Everything about this experience was wonderful. Richard and Donna were super friendly hosts. The deer. the deck, the fireplace, the atmosphere. #grateful
Needed a place in Wimberley for 4 people attending a family wedding right after Thanksgiving. It was only 2 nights but we had a great time. The wildlife was amazing, the accommodations incredible, the s'mores supplies for the firepit perfect!! Super clean and comfortable. Owners thought of everything and are the best hosts! Family wants to come back for a real vacation there and already planning little daytrips and things to do. Can't wait to try this in the spring or summer. Thanks for a memorable weekend.

This house has it all. Everything was clean and tidy. There were plenty of housewares including nice dishese and towels. Outside the hummingbirds, texas birds and deer abound. My daughter practically has deer eating out of her hand. The back deck is great for watching nature and drinking a glass of wine. It is a short walk to the swimming hole where the water is clean and cold. I would love to go back again.
This home has it all. We feed deer, watched hummingbirds, walked, and went to the river. I would recommend this home to anyone that wants to get away and enjoy all Wimberly has to offer.
Richard and Donna are incredible hosts. They provided a tremendous amount of special perks and treated us like their family. The home was beautiful and even better than described. Would love to stay there again!!!!!

Our stay was awesome!
The only thing wrong with our trip was that it too short! The house was very nice with anything you might need. The Blanco River was within walking distance and the hosts provided tubes! A tasty breakfast was provided each morning. It was a great stay.
This is a very well equipped property with a beautiful deck and outside area. We enjoyed the ease of access to the river and the tranquility of the area. Richard and Donna are fabulous hosts and made us feel very welcome. This was our second time staying at this property and we’ll definitely come again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our girls weekend in Wimnerly. The house was surrounded by nature, and was a unique experience feeding the deer. Richard and Donna were super friendly and helpful, and went out of their way to mail some items left behind.
Thank you so much for allowing us into your beautiful home...we had a relaxing time away, really enjoyed sitting out at the firepit, making smores, and feeding the abundant deer...especially Charlene! The balcony/deck was a great space to unwind as well and watch the birds, so many hummingbirds...one day we'll need to come back and explore Wimberly a bit more. It was lovely meeting and talking with you, Richard and Donna, hopefully we can do it again!

Close to river. Tubes provided. No crowds. Beautiful home. great porch to watch deer, birds, etc.
Wonderful. Everything we needed and more. Beds were great, beautiful patio and how can you not love the deer!! Great to have a covered carport. We are already planning another trip!! The hosts live below on the first level and brought up breakfast every morning. Private river access and tubes provided. Loved the place.
This house was perfect for our needs, very clean and had everything we needed. The owners were so helpful and a joy to meet, the house & decor has great character and feels like a Wimberley TX house should. The grounds are beautiful with so many birds and the hummingbirds were visiting too! The bed was comfortable and the coffee setup was awesome in the AM, just what we needed after the birthday festivities we attended. The location off River Road was convenient and beautiful. We would definitely stay here again - thank you Donna & Richard for sharing your place!!
Felt like staying with family ... the ones you like : )
I can not say enough good things about this place! From the first “hey Dana” phone call answering to our hug good bye I truly felt like we were staying with family. The house is great! The location to river acccess is perfect! The deer were such an awesome addition & Richard and Donna know how to make you feel at home....
Thank you for opening your home to us - we had a BLAST!

Richard and Donna are the best hosts! They have EVERYTHING you need ... all you need is your suitcase! We sat with them almost every night around the campfire talking! They even gave us S’mores to make! They anticipated our needs before we even figured it out for ourselves! We can’t wait to go back and are already trying to synchronize 4 schedules!
The location of the house was perfect. The subdivision has two private parks on the Blanco....one with shallows and a small tube chute, the other with a deeper area for swimming. The house is a corner lot set up to feed the wildlife. Deer came throughout the day and we got to hand feed them Cardinals, finches and hummingbirds were all over. The view from the second floor deck is amazing. Our hosts, Richard and Donna, were very helpful and knowledgeable. We had a great time.
We went here with our family and my parents. This area is above the owners residence and we had the second and third floor. The home is in acute neighborhood not far from the Blanco River. They have access to a private HOA access to the river: one in a shallow area and one in a deep area. It was not a far walk down the road to access the deep area. You can drive or walk to the more shallow area. The house provided his air compressor to pump up many tubes that they provided for us. Nice treat!!
The best thing about the house was their deck. Nested in the trees on the second level you can watch birds and the deer below. They have deer feeders because the family likes to befriend the deer. They even teach you how to feed them out of the bucket with your hands.
The house had everything we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked. It does not have a dishwasher so we had to hand wash everything. Not a big deal to us. I enjoyed having the candles around the house to light.
Richard and Donna were the best hosts. They even mailed our sandals back when we left them behind
This is our second time booking this house for our get away before the kids go back to school. We love the close access to the river and the drive to Wimberley Square is short. The house is stocked with almost anything you need. Richard and Donna are great hosts. We will definitely be back again!
Although it went by fast and seemed a little to short of a stay, we enjoyed ourselves very much. Got a little sunburn from being at the river for less than 2 hours but, it was so relaxing, fun and peaceful. Watching the deer was nice. A little drive from the square for us, but again the river made it worth it. Donna is awesome and we love her!
My wife and I invited another couple to getaway for the weekend and visit Wimberley for the first time. Aside from the drizzling rain off and on, we had a wonderful time. The property owners were very friendly and were great to visit with. They built a camp fire in the evening and let us feed the deer. The property is close to town and all the shops and restaurants. You won’t be disappointed in your stay. We can’t wait to go back.
Thank you Richard and Donna
The property was clean and well kept! We really enjoyed our extended weekend on the property. The hosts were very accommodating and made the check in process seemless. They also provided us everything needed plus s’mores supplies!! My husband, myself, our 9 year old, and 10 month old stayed on the property. There’s plenty of room and the location was perfect. Highly recommended.
