About this property

In May you may be lucky to spot beautiful pink roses growing on the dam - out of the reach of hungry deer. One day an elderly woman greeted my friend at the creek, explaining that she had grown up there, swimming and playing on hot summer days, long before any of us discovered this paradise. She explained that her father had planted those roses, some ninety years previous, in the perfect spot apparently as they are thriving there today. We named this special place after her and her daddy's roses, so named The River Rose Retreat, where you and yours can drink in the unique and restorative smells, sounds, and eye candy, the absolute best of the Texas hill country.

This beautifully hand designed property depicts why we all love the Texas hill country. Multi leveled decks, porches a plenty and paths/benches/walls that are intricately hand lain with local rocks. Its such a delight to explore this unique property.

We are right on the seasonal Lone Man Creek for a beautiful view of both water and sky. Martha's unique artistic touches make staying here a true delight. We have creek views, access and a dammed private swimming hole.

Well behaved/leashed dogs welcome. We have a $50 pet fee. The size of this home makes it only appropriate for one dog unless an exception is made with the owner.

Located centrally in Wimberley between Austin and San Antonio and close to many hill country destinations.

We have reliable wifi but most cell carriers do not get coverage on the property. We have a satellite "land line" to make calls.

This property has 2 houses, a casalita, add on bunk house with bed and mini fridge available for rent. This listing is for the apartment which sleeps 2. You could fit up to 15 people with privacy for all the couples if the rent the whole property.

We do have three rentals on the property. They all have their own privacy and outdoor sitting areas. They are lined along the waterway so all have creek views. We do not allow fishing of any kind not even catch and release.

Great Little Getaway

The River Rose Retreat is definitely on our list of places to come back to! It was so peaceful and beautiful and the home and deck, with the swing, were so relaxing. We ate bfast out there in the mornings and played board games out there at night. Communication was quick with owner when needed. This was a very remote location, but that’s what we loved about it! We enjoyed Wimberley as well! Such a cute little area! Thank you Martha & staff!! We loved our stay!!

Country retreat

Overall a nice experience. The mattress was too soft and older by the roll to the center experience so it also was not easy to sit on to watch TV. The dining table and chairs were adequate for eating but not comfortable to sit in for a length of time. No real place to lounge, chat or relax indoors. The outdoor area was enjoyable. Definitely outdoor areas to sit and chat. Bathroom and kitchen were newer and well supplied and more than sufficient. .

About the host

Hosted by Martha Newman

I grew up in Houston, Robert E. Lee High and then on to Rice U. I was looking for a property close to my Houston family but could not take the traffic! So fell in love with the Hill Country. I am an artist specializing in paintings of wildlife and various animals, also in love with interior design and making wonderful vacation homes for people to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

Wow just look at the pictures. It's right on the water yet unaffected by flooding. I can be in total privacy then hop over to town in ten minutes or less. Weather is great, the drive in is magical. Ivory Oak wedding venue is a stone's throw away, an easy walk for revelers. All in all it's just pretty perfect!

What makes this property unique

All the benefits of country living a quick drive to everything that is great in this wonderful area of Texas. Hear local live music then fall asleep in brand new everything listening to the sound of water flowing across the will love it.
