Great place to relax and unwind with Family. The house has plenty of room and has a huge yard with trees and orchards. Enjoyed our stay. Wished we had more time and could stay longer.
8 of us stayed at Lonesome Dove for a family wedding. Very clean, comfortable and plenty of room to accommodate all of us. Plenty of porch space and the grounds were really nice.
We (7 people) had a great time! The large house is in a very serene setting, beautiful pond with lovely landscaping. Having access to the private pool and hot tub was great at the end of each day. Just a few minutes to get into into town, this was the perfect place for our family/friends get-away.
The property is private and expansive. The outdoor areas rival those of the indoor areas. The house comfortably accomodated our family of 8 adults, 2 small children, and 2 dogs with another bedroom to spare. It was a wonderful place to enjoy time together.
We enjoyed our stay here! The grandkids loved exploring the yard and finding natures treasure. Plenty of room for everyone to be together! We will definitely book again. Maybe during the summer and try out that beautiful pool!
We very much enjoyed this scenic property for our family Thanksgiving retreat. We had a couple of glitches (hot water heater, hot tub) which the owner addressed. We really liked the property, property management, and property owner, and are planning a summer retreat there (to enjoy the beautiful pool the property has).
Lonesome Dove did not disappoint!!! Perfection, beauty, PRIVACY!!!! My family has requested we book here next year. Great location to the town square and it’s great shopping & to grocery stores to grab stuff you forget.
Thanks for creating this beautiful property.
10 out of 10 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our group of six college friends had the pleasure of staying at Lonesome Dove. The house was more than adequate for our needs, and we certainly enjoyed the pool each day. We also enjoyed the lovely deck in the front of the house with the waterfall and pond. The house was very clean, which can be difficult to achieve in the country. Please note that some of the beds are quite tall, and we were grateful that some rooms came with stools to help us get into bed. The kitchen was well-equipped, and having two refrigerators and freezers was a nice touch. We are absolutely hoping to stay there again.
This is our second year at this property. It’s a great layout and everyone enjoyed the pool. The outside areas are nice but it was too hot to spend anytime outside on our stay unless you were in the pool!
Thanks again Lonesome Dove! You will remain on our list of favorite places to stay!

Lonesome Dove was wonderful on all levels! It is incredibly clean throughout the house. It is well stocked with dishes, pots/pans/silverware/spices for cooking. All the bathrooms have shampoo/conditioners/body wash with very nice towels and plenty of hot water for six women. We gave an A to every bed/and the pillows. So many places to enjoy &relax. A TV in every bedroom and the living area!
Our interaction with the staff/owner was extremely positive. This is a perfect place for a ladies retreat or several families. It is definitely an A++ home rental. And it’s not easy to impress six grown mature women, but we were definitely impressed.
Loved that this place has 5 bedrooms and 3 of them have bathrooms. A 4th bathroom is located close to the other 2 bedrooms. Location is down a long, narrow, winding road. Once at the house, you do not see anything except the beautiful hill country. No road noise, but you will hear plenty of FROGS! There is a nice little pond in the front yard with a fountain and lots of frogs. They stay around the pond, so you aren't seeing them, just hearing them. The pool is amazing! Would be nice if there was lighting around the pool and along the path to the pool. There were several solar lights along the pathway and around the deck but very few of them worked. We would definitely love to stay here again in the future.
Loved Lonesome Dove. It’s quiet and out in the country but close enough to Wimberly for shopping and restaurants. The pool was well used as it was in the 90s during our stay. It was very clean but didn’t rate 5 stars due to dusty air vents and screened porch not having been cleaned under the furniture with cobwebs under chairs. Minor but should be addressed. Outdoor spaces were great and we used all of them. Kitchen a bit small for more than one person but laundry room had added storage and second refrigerator. Would definitely recommend.
Overall the property was beautiful and pretty much what was expected.
I am a little concerned that the enclosed patio was so dirty - there were literal cobwebs under all the furniture. And when I cleaned up water off the floor inside, the towel came up with a dirt mark, which tells me the floor was not cleaned well beyond maybe a sweeping.
Lastly, there was a singular false eyelash sitting by the pool. I was the only one able to use the pool during the trip and I most definitely do not wear false lashes.There was also a dead scorpion in the pool, so I'm not sure the pool was cleaned out in between visits. Or that the pool area was cleaned period.
The property is great, but for the price, I expected pristine cleanliness.
Great place , nice view and pool . Lots of full baths ! Big family room with high ceilings!! A lot of seating areas , including pool front porch, back screen porch, barbecue hot tub area, Koi Pond area with lots of deer on property.
Beautiful property, well furnished and equipped. Has several large gathering spaces.This was a mature siblings and spouses getaway. The height of the beds did present a problem for a few of us. There were several step stools but were a bit precarious for our mobility impaired. A little disappointing, especially since Lonesome Dove is one of the few, maybe only, properties in the area with 5 bedrooms on ground level.
We have stayed here last fall and again this summer. Both were fun for the entire family, especially using the pool in late July. We all enjoyed our stay and will probably come again next year!
Great spot! The spacious layout easily accommodated our sizable group, providing ample room (and bathrooms!) for everyone. One of the standout features was the outdoor area, complete with a screened in porch, a pool and a relaxing hot tub. I was impressed with the cleanliness and would highly recommend this place.
Enjoyed our family gathering here. The bedrooms with on suite bathrooms were great. Made use of both refrigerators. Also enjoyed the outdoors areas including the screened porch.
My adult daughters & I enjoyed our stay at Lonesome Dove. We were looking for comfort, clean & restful. This place delivered. Beautiful & quiet central Texas landscape, but close enough to shopping & restaurants. As we were packing up, my girls all said they wished for one more day! Thanks!
We were 8 total cousins and spouses, all 64+. The property is perfect! No stairs, lots of places to congregate, and a relaxing pool in which you can easily do laps. Town was less than 10 minutes away, but this area is very quiet and private. Thanks for a wonderful cousin party!
