About this property

Three miles to Wimberley Square, two acres of fun (pool + hot tub), one unforgettable destination.

Every Texas getaway should include amenities to escape the heat, and that's exactly what you'll get at Shepherd's Lodge! This gorgeous 2,300 square foot home comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests with 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms.

Perfect for a large group of family and/or friends, the open concept layout offers spacious indoor and outdoor living areas. The indoor living area provides ample seating, a fireplace, and a TV as well as deck access. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, cooking and dining essentials, and plenty of space for multiple chefs. The dining table seats 8 with additional seating at the kitchen bar.

Downstairs you'll find the first full bathroom complete with shower/tub combo. Upstairs you'll find the master suite which includes a king-size bed, TV, private deck, as well as an attached master bathroom with walk-in shower and vanity. The master bedroom also includes a large walk-in closet with plenty of space. The second bedroom includes a queen-size bed. The third full bathroom features a shower/tub combo. Ideal for the kids, the bunk room includes two sets of bunk beds and plenty of space. The fourth bedroom offers a queen-size bed while the fifth bedroom features a twin day bed and a TV. A washer and dryer are also available for guest use.

Outside you'll find over 400 square feet of covered porches and a 500 square foot shaded deck to enjoy all day long and into those glorious star-studded Hill Country Nights! Relax out on the deck or in the bar and grill pavilion after an afternoon spent playing in our swimming hole at the Blanco River just across the street. Enjoy the new pool complete with a tanning shelf for the loungers and little ones, splash about in the pool or relax in the generous hot tub. Challenge a friend to a friendly game of ping pong while you sip on a beverage - now that's Hill Country Living!

Only three miles to downtown Wimberley Shepherd's Lodge is a wonderful, centrally-located launching pad to enjoy all the Wimberley Valley has to offer from playing and swimming at Blue Hole Regional Park, shopping the historic Square and Wimberley Market Days, catching a movie at the legendary Corral Outdoor Movie Theatre, enjoying Hill Country cuisine and wines at local restaurants and vineyards, or browsing one of the fine local art galleries.

Blue Hole, one of Texas' finest swimming holes, is just down the road. Shepherd's Lodge is fabulous for the exercise enthusiast. Act like a local and enjoy walking, jogging, or cycling Flite Acres Road, Little Arkansas Road, or Little Ranches (it gets hilly fast!). Blue Hole Park (2 miles) also offers 4+ miles of easy trails for pedestrians and cyclists in addition to a playground and a basketball and sand volleyball court.

*The home is located in the heart of one of the finest acreage communities in Wimberley. We love our neighbors and want to be extremely considerate of their peace and property! Noise curfew is in effect from 9pm-8am.

*You must be 25 years or older to rent this property. Maximum occupancy at all times for this home is 12 guests. We manage several nearby rental properties and therefore often have staff in the area.

NYE Getaway

The house was perfect for our group. Super close to Wimberley Square and H-E-B, which was nice. The house was clean and accommodated all our needs. Property manager also very easy to get into contact with when we needed help turning on the hot tub. Downstairs water never got hot but we just took turns upstairs. One room was advertised as only having a twin bed, but it actually ended up being a Queen which was perfect! We will for sure be back.

Shepherd's Lodge Weekend

We gathered at Shepherd's Lodge for a family wedding in the area. The house worked out well for the members we had with us. The pool and the outside porches were great to enjoy the warm weather. We were disappointed to learn that the 1st floor shower did not get hot water as we had family member's that didn't do well with stairs. This had been shown in previous reviews, but we thought repairs would have been completed. The kitchen sink faucet was very loose. It functioned fine but was a bit difficult to maneuver. Great location so close to Wimberly. Overall, great time had by all.

Great house!

We really enjoyed our stay at Sheperd's Lodge. There was plenty of room for our entire family. The house has great amenities. The only thing I would suggest is organizing the kitchen and do a deep cleaning under furniture.

Nice stay

We had a pretty good time. The owners got a little carried away with the label maker. There was a long list of rules, but they probably had to be stated because there probably were past guest that weren't as considerate as they should’ve been. Over all, it was a great value and we had a good time.
