About this property

Blanco River water front, Family & Pet friendly, Free WiFi, Contactless check-in

Rio Casita (Little River House) is located in the middle of a beautifully wooded acre of land on the pristine Blanco River. The clear, cool, spring fed river is ideal for kicking back, relaxing, and enjoying nature. Drive the short three miles along River Road that flanks the Blanco into Wimberley, and take a shopping spree through some of the most unique shops you will see anywhere.

This is a very romantic spot with plenty of privacy. The kids and pets will love it also. Walk down the easy sloping hill from your back porch and directly into the river. Great swimming and wading and a superior place to enjoy an ice cold adult beverage. It's all here, come and see!

After fun in the sun and the river, head back to the house to enjoy all the ammenities: outdoor grill, great backporch for hanging out, gourmet kitchen - everything you need, except the food. When the sun sets the fire flys appear.

This is a wonderful rental close to town - very homey and comfortable. The yard and river access are phenomenal! We brought our dog and she just loved running around. Only down side was slow internet and Verizon cellular signal was poor. Regardless, would stay here again. 5 stars!

Excellent property! We brought our two big dogs and it was perfect. There was a great size fenced in backyard for them and they enjoyed going down to the river with us. Beautiful area and the house was great. Very clean and had everything we needed. We brought our 15 month old and there was plenty of room for her crib in one of the guest rooms. We’d definitely go back if we ever visited the area again!

Beautiful house tucked away in the woods on the Blanco River. The house was very cozy and quiet. We observed lots of deer and even had an 8-pt buck bed down right beside my truck! The beds were very comfortable and the towels were plush and soft. Remote feeling but only 3 miles from downtown Wimberley. The back porch is very inviting with lots of chairs and 3 different sitting areas. Our family only stayed two Nights, but wish we would’ve had more time.

Overall it’s lovely. The interior is well maintained and lovely. The cookware could use updating. The directions had an error so we couldn’t find it at first. The batteries in the thermostat were dead, so we had to use other lights to see it. Beyond those minor things it’s a delightful place and an excellent choice.

This place is amazing. It’s so peaceful and relaxing to just sit outside and enjoy nature along the river. It’s far enough out of town to give you privacy, but close enough to enjoy the food and shops on the square with just a short drive.

Rio Casita is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy all that Mother Nature has provided along the Blanco River. Babbling rapids can be heard, deer, wild turkey and fireflies come to visit. There is no stress, just peace and relaxation. And...if you would like a little fun and excitement, just drive about a mile and a half into downtown Wimberley and enjoy all the restaurants, bars and shops. Perfect combo! Come and experience our Little Piece of Heaven on Earth.

The Blanco River and Rio Casita are calling your name. Come, relax on the back porch or down by the river. You will want to return.

About the host

Hosted by Connie

Host profile image
My husband and I fell in love with Wimberley. When we found Rio Casita, we just had to purchase it. We love being there and use it as a family get away. We love the quietness, the wild life and the easy pace that this place offers. We are very happy that we can share all of that with you.

Why they chose this property

We love being on the water and the Blanco is just right for us and our dogs. Our golden retriever thinks he is in Heaven when he is there.

What makes this property unique

Relax, relax, relax...pull a chair out into the middle of the river; read; walk; listen to nature or just sit on the back porch. A unique place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. However, if you demand a little more activity in your life, the Village of Wimberley is just 2 miles down the road.
