In this darling cottage there are two large bedrooms each with their own pleasing design. The master hosts a king size bed and full bath with shower and has a beautiful fireplace, (decorative only - sorry no indoor fires here). The fireplace kept from the original house dates back to the early 20’s is a unique piece of history. This room was expertly decorated with a great mix of old and new decor. Sleep soundly in this retreat with designer linens and the peaceful sounds of the hill country. Be greeted with a burst color in the second room with its beautiful sunny decor and soft linens. In this room you will find a queen size bed and one trundle bed perfect to sleep four. The second bathroom is also very roomy, with a bathtub and shower combo and lots of counter space.

Outside this cottage is where you will want to spend most of your time. With your own spectacular private river access, spend the day swimming, tubing, canoeing, kayaking, fishing or just relaxing on the large porch that looks out onto the river. Grill up your favorites on the large outdoor grill. This space hosts a roomy dining area with lots of fun, unique seating. It is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal or just kick back and read a book.

With Wimberley only a few minutes away, enjoy the delicious restaurants as well as the charming shops. Blue Hole Regional Park is also located very close as well as many wineries.
