This place has it all. If you want to stay where you can go in the Blanco river, feed deer right in the backyard, and be close to wimberly and driftwood then this is the place. Very clean and well stocked kitchen. The owners are usually on site and ready to help in any way. I have stayed there 3 timesEs and planning my next stay.

This home has it all. We feed deer, watched hummingbirds, walked, and went to the river. I would recommend this home to anyone that wants to get away and enjoy all Wimberly has to offer.

My family and I stayed in Wimberly, Texas to attend a niece's wedding. We were busy with lots of wedding festivities but enjoyed coming home each night to our VRBO and loved waking each morning to cups of morning coffee on the porch with wildlife and songbirds. What a nice get away. The owners were friendly, helpful, and welcoming.

Great!! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope y’all will come back soon! Y’all were awesome guests!
Thank you so much for allowing us into your beautiful home...we had a relaxing time away, really enjoyed sitting out at the firepit, making smores, and feeding the abundant deer...especially Charlene! The balcony/deck was a great space to unwind as well and watch the birds, so many hummingbirds...one day we'll need to come back and explore Wimberly a bit more. It was lovely meeting and talking with you, Richard and Donna, hopefully we can do it again!

Close to river. Tubes provided. No crowds. Beautiful home. great porch to watch deer, birds, etc.
Wonderful. Everything we needed and more. Beds were great, beautiful patio and how can you not love the deer!! Great to have a covered carport. We are already planning another trip!! The hosts live below on the first level and brought up breakfast every morning. Private river access and tubes provided. Loved the place.

Lynda - We enjoyed meeting and visiting with the four of you. We are so glad you enjoyed our home and next time we must do the s'mores and branding at the campfire!! Y'all were the perfect guests and we are really looking forward to your coming back. I'm glad your daughter was able to come out for one night to visit!! Hope to see you soon.
This house was perfect for our needs, very clean and had everything we needed. The owners were so helpful and a joy to meet, the house & decor has great character and feels like a Wimberley TX house should. The grounds are beautiful with so many birds and the hummingbirds were visiting too! The bed was comfortable and the coffee setup was awesome in the AM, just what we needed after the birthday festivities we attended. The location off River Road was convenient and beautiful. We would definitely stay here again - thank you Donna & Richard for sharing your place!!

We enjoyed hosting y'all and hope you will come back to see us! Wishing you both a happy Easter!!
Needed a place in Wimberley for 4 people attending a family wedding right after Thanksgiving. It was only 2 nights but we had a great time. The wildlife was amazing, the accommodations incredible, the s'mores supplies for the firepit perfect!! Super clean and comfortable. Owners thought of everything and are the best hosts! Family wants to come back for a real vacation there and already planning little daytrips and things to do. Can't wait to try this in the spring or summer. Thanks for a memorable weekend.

The location to river acccess is perfect! The deer were such an awesome addition & Richard and Donna know how to make you feel at home....

Thank you for the wonderful review!! We loved hosting you and your group and it thrills us to hear what a great time you had. We would definitely love to have y'all come back to stay with us. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

Richard and Donna are the best hosts! They have EVERYTHING you need ... all you need is your suitcase! We sat with them almost every night around the campfire talking! They even gave us S’mores to make! They anticipated our needs before we even figured it out for ourselves! We can’t wait to go back and are already trying to synchronize 4 schedules!

Richard and I thoroughly enjoyed your visit and hope you will come back SOON!!! It was great visiting with you and sitting by the campfire. Y'all are the kind of guests that we love to have!! See you soon, we hope!
The location of the house was perfect. The subdivision has two private parks on the Blanco....one with shallows and a small tube chute, the other with a deeper area for swimming. The house is a corner lot set up to feed the wildlife. Deer came throughout the day and we got to hand feed them Cardinals, finches and hummingbirds were all over. The view from the second floor deck is amazing. Our hosts, Richard and Donna, were very helpful and knowledgeable. We had a great time.

This house has it all. Everything was clean and tidy. There were plenty of housewares including nice dishese and towels. Outside the hummingbirds, texas birds and deer abound. My daughter practically has deer eating out of her hand. The back deck is great for watching nature and drinking a glass of wine. It is a short walk to the swimming hole where the water is clean and cold. I would love to go back again.
This is our second time booking this house for our get away before the kids go back to school. We love the close access to the river and the drive to Wimberley Square is short. The house is stocked with almost anything you need. Richard and Donna are great hosts. We will definitely be back again!
Although it went by fast and seemed a little to short of a stay, we enjoyed ourselves very much. Got a little sunburn from being at the river for less than 2 hours but, it was so relaxing, fun and peaceful. Watching the deer was nice. A little drive from the square for us, but again the river made it worth it. Donna is awesome and we love her!

We are so happy that you and your family enjoyed yourselves! It is wonderful guests like all of you that we really enjoy! We do hope you will come back to see us! The Fall is also a wonderful time to visit because the nights are great for the campfires and believe it or not, people still get in the river (not me!!) to float. I'm sure your son in San Marcos would love for y'all to come back to visit with him too....so that is another reason to return!! Thanks for choosing Campfire Dreams!!
Just book it! This place is everything! The river is beautiful and the hosts are wonderful! We will be back!

We loved having y'all stay with us!! What a great group! We do hope you will come back soon.....the deer are already wondering where you went!! We also appreciated y'all inviting us to eat with you that first night - delicious food and even better company. Thanks for leaving the house so clean!
My wife and I invited another couple to getaway for the weekend and visit Wimberley for the first time. Aside from the drizzling rain off and on, we had a wonderful time. The property owners were very friendly and were great to visit with. They built a camp fire in the evening and let us feed the deer. The property is close to town and all the shops and restaurants. You won’t be disappointed in your stay. We can’t wait to go back.
Thank you Richard and Donna
The property was clean and well kept! We really enjoyed our extended weekend on the property. The hosts were very accommodating and made the check in process seemless. They also provided us everything needed plus s’mores supplies!! My husband, myself, our 9 year old, and 10 month old stayed on the property. There’s plenty of room and the location was perfect. Highly recommended.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others. The deer feeding and campfire were an added bonus for our visit. The home was a great size, beds were comfortable and the deck was a lovely way to enjoy the sunsets. Thank you so much. It was perfect
