Welcome to Happy Hollow, a storybook-style escape nestled in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, just minutes from the charm and bustle of Wimberley Square. With its warm, modern cottage vibe, cheerful decor, and peaceful surroundings, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom retreat is the perfect place to slow down, reconnect, and soak in the magic of Wimberley.
Inside, each space has been lovingly curated to feel both elevated and cozy. The master suite is a restful haven with a plush king-sized bed, luxurious linens, and elegant decor. Wake up to the soft glow of natural light and head straight into your private ensuite bathroom, where you'll find a walk-in shower, a well-lit vanity, and a tranquil atmosphere that invites you to linger.
Bedroom 2 also features a king-sized bed layered in sumptuous linens and textured accents, offering guests a second dreamy space to unwind. Bedroom 3 is equally charming with a beautifully appointed queen-sized bed and thoughtful design touches that carry through the home’s cohesive yet colorful style. The second full bathroom, accessible from the hallway, includes a spacious vanity, a tub/shower combo, and the convenience of an in-home washer and dryer.
The heart of the home is the open-concept kitchen and dining area, where you'll find everything you need to cook up a Texas-sized breakfast or your favorite evening meal. The kitchen features a refrigerator, oven, electric range, microwave, and a true gem for coffee lovers—a well-stocked coffee bar complete with a drip coffee maker, espresso maker, and everything you need to craft the perfect cup. Bar seating for four keeps things casual and social, while the nearby bar-height dining table expands to seat up to eight.
The living room is the perfect place to kick back after a day of exploring. Sink into the large, comfortable sofa and enjoy your favorite show on the streaming TV, or gaze out the charming bay window and take in the peaceful surroundings. Whether you’re curled up with a good book or planning tomorrow’s adventures, this space is made for relaxing.
Outside, Happy Hollow invites you to slow down and savor the serenity of the Hill Country. The back deck offers a dining table with an umbrella for shaded afternoon meals or sunset drinks. Grill up something delicious on the propane grill or gather around the fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs (available when burn bans are not in effect—BYO firewood). The front porch, with its extra seating and welcoming vibe, is ideal for sipping your morning coffee as the birds and deer stir around you.
Set in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood that’s also a designated dark sky community, Happy Hollow is perfect for stargazing and wildlife watching. Keep an eye out for whitetail deer, foxes, and a variety of local birds as you explore the area. And while the home feels like a tucked-away treasure, it’s just minutes from Wimberley’s best attractions. You're only 9 minutes from Wimberley Square, 6 minutes from Wimberley Market Days, and 11 minutes from the swimming holes at Blue Hole Regional Park.
Whether you’re a couple seeking a romantic retreat, a family looking to make memories, or a group of friends ready for a Hill Country escape, Happy Hollow is ready to welcome you with comfort, charm, and a touch of fairy tale magic.

Thank you for your review! We’re glad you found the house clean and enjoyed the convenient location near Wimberley and San Marcos. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Our stay was great with a couple of exceptions. The air freshener in the house was too strong and the hot water in the main suite shower did not get hot. Other than that, it was great!

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear that overall you had a great stay. We appreciate your notes about the air freshener and the hot water in the main suite, we’ll address these to ensure a more comfortable experience for future guests. We’d love to welcome you back for another stay!
We had a girls’ trip for my mom’s 60th birthday. The house was presented so perfectly when we arrived. It was accommodated with so many amenities and little extras and we loved how everything was labeled for your convenience. We loved the antique feel. The coffee bar was outstanding and a highlight for choosing the house for our trip. And the location was perfect to go to the Christmas market and downtown. The only thing we would suggest is during December maybe do a few Christmas decorations to make it more festive! Overall, we would definitely stay here again and recommend it for anyone!

Thank you for the lovely review and for choosing our home for such a special celebration. We’re glad the house was ready for you, and that the labeled amenities, antique charm, and coffee bar were highlights — and that the location worked well for the Christmas market and downtown.
Great suggestion about seasonal decor — we’ll look into adding a few festive touches in December. We’d be honored to host you again and appreciate your recommendation!
