Frog Cottage on the Blanco River - Charming 2 Bedroom Close to Downtown

Nestled on the beautiful banks of the Blanco River is Wimberley’s Frog Cottage. This charming cottage is the perfect riverfront getaway. Enjoy stepping out onto your very own back porch to beautiful oaks and stunning views of the river. Frog Cottage offers the peacefulness of the hill country and the tranquility of the river. Only a hop skip and a jump away is Wimberley's town square with its charming shops and restaurants.

Enjoy the beautifully decorated french country cottage that will host up to six people. This property has all the amenities one could possibly need. Beautiful wood floors,unique rock work and stunning furnishings along with views of the river throughout the cottage.

Revel in an inviting full kitchen stocked with all the necessities one could need. There you will find state of the art appliances and plenty of counter space as well as a spacious dining area to enjoy your meals with family and friends as well as the views of the Blanco river.

In this darling cottage there are two large bedrooms each with their own pleasing design. The master hosts a king size bed and full bath with shower and has a beautiful fireplace, (decorative only - sorry no indoor fires here). The fireplace kept from the original house dates back to the early 20’s is a unique piece of history. This room was expertly decorated with a great mix of old and new decor. Sleep soundly in this retreat with designer linens and the peaceful sounds of the hill country. Be greeted with a burst color in the second room with its beautiful sunny decor and soft linens. In this room you will find a queen size bed and one trundle bed perfect to sleep four. The second bathroom is also very roomy, with a bathtub and shower combo and lots of counter space.

Outside this cottage is where you will want to spend most of your time. With your own spectacular private river access, spend the day swimming, tubing, canoeing, kayaking, fishing or just relaxing on the large porch that looks out onto the river. Grill up your favorites on the large outdoor grill. This space hosts a roomy dining area with lots of fun, unique seating. It is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal or just kick back and read a book.

With Wimberley only a few minutes away, enjoy the delicious restaurants as well as the charming shops. Blue Hole Regional Park is also located very close as well as many wineries. If you enjoy hiking there are many trails in the area. Take a drive to Canyon Lake and rent a boat or jet skis for a fun afternoon, or explore New Braunfels and Gruene for a fun day trip.

Great stay!

We had a great stay at this property. Much more spacious than the pictures made it look. Beautiful property, lots of room outside. Kids had a great time swimming in the river and feeding the deer. Loved how it felt isolated but very close to town.

Just what we needed for our 25th anniversary.

Quiet and relaxing for a couples getaway, but spacious enough for a family or small friend group. Close to a thriving downtown area as well driving distance to several other towns.

In love with the Frog Cottage

A perfect place to stay! Comfortable inside & out. Close to town and very quiet. Right on the river. Even though it’s the middle of a drought and the river is down to just pools, it’s so relaxing to see the animals that come to drink.

Cute Property

Property was a cute little cabin in Wimberly next to the Blanco River. Perfect size for what we needed; nice and clean. The neighbor is super close and probably the only (very minor) concern when you bring a kiddo with you.

Charming house on the river!

Perfect house to stay in for a visit to Wimberley. Very close to town square but has a secluded feel and is quiet with a beautiful view of the river. We enjoyed watching deer every morning and evening from the deck and generous windows. This house was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with the items needed to cook meals. All of the decor added to the charm of this house we would stay in again without hesitation.

Sweet and Relaxing

Time to catch up on life with friends sitting on deck in the evenings and enjoying the several hang out rooms inside. Large windows make the river seem close. And at night the lightening bugs covered the outside. Close enough to Wimberley to shop and eat a leisurely late lunch. But sitting on the back deck for wine and appetizers and sharing was the best. A storm went through out 2nd night downing leaves and large limbs. The owners cousins stopped by and even blew off the deck so we could sit outside that last evening.

We enjoyed our stay! Great proximity to downtown Wimberley for shopping and dining. Loved seeing multiple deer in the yard daily. Very private feeling down a small one lane road. The house was charming and nice decor. Had an oops where one of our guests left their phone on their charger inside and it was just after 10am and the door code stops working promptly at that time on checkout day. We called the main line in listing and got help very quickly with a temporary door code to be let back in. Cons: The house needs some love and cleaning on the inside, 3 spiders with webs living in one of the bathrooms (it is October but I don’t think they were decor). One bathroom has issues with water leaking and damaging the baseboard. In the kitchen the ceiling along the fireplace looks as if there’s mold or a water leak developing. Caulk is peeling off the wood beams in living room. Kitchen drawers were dirty and disorganized. Road noise from bridge can be loud when outside during peak times like enjoying a morning coffee on the deck. The ice maker/water on the fridge doesn’t work and there’s a magnet on it stating so. Would’ve been helpful to know ahead of time, but we bought a bag of ice at the Brookshire Brothers once we got there. Obviously out of their control but know that with drought conditions and fire risk no fire pit use outside although with the above averages of 90F this October we wouldn’t have used it anyway.

A quick weekend get a way

The property was great, very relaxing and plenty of space. Access to the lake was challenging ... due to the drought the water was very low. I don't know what the "usual" depth of the river is, but it was slow and it didn't flow. So that was disappointing, but it's not the fault of the property owners. I would suggest they add better photos of the river access to give an accurate depection of the river as it normally looks so guests can be prepared for the typical river access. We were not able to easily get in the water without slipping and cutting our feet. I'd just recommend prior to booking to discuss with owner the status of the river near the time of the booking. Otherwise great property! Beautiful grounds as well.

Relaxing, cozy cottage close to Wimberley square

Stayed with my Mom and 3 sisters at the Frog Cottage for a quick trip to get away and enjoy the cute little town of Wimberley. From the moment we drove up, we were awed with the beauty of the surroundings and privacy. The best part of this cottage is the gorgeous large backyard backing up to the Blanco River! The old, huge trees are beautiful and provide lots of shade to be able to sit out on the big deck and enjoy the views of the river and the family of deer that visits each day. The gentle sloping lawn allows for easy access to the river. While waters levels are low right now, we got lucky because the river area in the back of the cottage has a deep swimming hole, as well as shallow areas to rest in. The cottage itself was very clean and cool and felt very cozy and safe. The comfortable beds were also a plus! The town square is close, but there are no sidewalks to get there, so sneakers are recommended in order to walk there. Be sure to bring water shoes and noodles to float on in the river. Great getaway!
