About this property

Private Waterfront Hill Country Retreat with Kayaks, Fire Pit on 5 Acres

Welcome to Wimberley Riverhaus, your serene sanctuary nestled along the tranquil banks of Lone Man Creek in the heart of Texas Hill Country. This charming waterfront retreat sits on 5 acres of picturesque land, offering unparalleled opportunities for swimming, fishing, kayaking, and pure relaxation. Originally built in 1946, Wimberley Riverhaus has been lovingly renovated and remodeled to blend rustic charm with modern comforts, creating the perfect setting for your family getaway or group retreat.

As you arrive, the soothing sounds of the creek and the majestic oak trees provide a warm welcome, inviting you to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the surroundings. Park under the covered porch, where easy access to the front door awaits. Step inside and feel instantly at home in "The Perfect River House," where abundant natural light, limestone accents, and wood floors set the stage for a memorable stay. The “drop zone” offers a convenient space for river gear, ensuring that adventure is always just steps away.

With three spacious bedrooms, including a playful bunk room for the kids and two cozy bedrooms, Wimberley Riverhaus comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests. Freshen up in the stylish bathrooms adorned with subway tile and ample counter space before gathering in the open-concept living area. Relax by the fireplace, watch a movie on the large screen TV, or whip up delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen featuring sapphire cabinetry and plenty of counter space. Dine indoors at the table for six or savor meals al fresco on the screened porch overlooking the serene water views.

Outside, a private water park awaits, offering endless opportunities for aquatic adventures. Swim, tube, kayak, or simply unwind along the creek's edge, surrounded by the natural beauty of the hill country. Explore the 5 acres of private land, swing under the oak trees, or gather around the charcoal grill for a cookout with family and friends. As the sun sets, gather around the fire pit to roast marshmallows, share stories, and marvel at the starry Texas sky.

Venture beyond the river's edge to discover the charms of Wimberley and its surrounding area. Just minutes away, explore the quaint shops and delicious restaurants of downtown Wimberley, or embark on outdoor excursions to Jacobs Well, Blue Hole Regional Park, or Zipline Adventures. For a day trip, head to Canyon Lake for boating and breathtaking views, or visit historic Gruene for live music and southern hospitality. Nearby New Braunfels offers even more attractions, from river tubing and water parks to wineries and breweries, ensuring that every day is filled with adventure and relaxation.

Whether you seek outdoor thrills or peaceful moments by the water, Wimberley Riverhaus offers the perfect escape for your Texas Hill Country vacation. Come experience the magic of Lone Man Creek and create unforgettable memories with loved ones at Wimberley Riverhaus.

Overall a wonderful stay. From the views to just being tucked away in the woods. Everything you need to completely relax. There was only 2 things I didn’t really care for . One was there’s only curtains in the bedrooms. Two there is only one tv in the entire house. This doesn’t reflect the 5 star . Just maybe take attn to this. We will be back for sure

Hill Country Escape

Family was looking forward to getting out of the city and enjoying peace and quiet by the river. However, the home is located directly off a busy road. The traffic noise was constant. This took away from the location.Also, the furniture could use upgrading. The dining room/breakfast area chairs were metal and not very comfortable.

This house and property were so beautiful, the house is spacious enough to spread out and the outside spaces along with the screened in porch were great! We really enjoyed hanging out, the hammock and 2 swings were a bonus. We’d definitely stay here again.

Thanks for a lovely time.

The house was just lovely…nicely furnished, comfortable beds, nice kitchen, and lovely patio dining. Four long time friends gathered for the week, and we enjoyed the time spent visiting and catching up, sitting outside watching the river drift by, listening to the birds, and observing the deer that came by each morning.

Great little place

We really enjoyed staying here. The house was older but updated. The best part of the say is really the property. The creek that runs outside the house is very clear. My kids enjoyed going on the canoe and the kayak. They also enjoyed swimming. My son put on goggles and swam and looked at the little fish. He said it was awesome. We loved sitting around the fire at night and sitting outside or in the screened in porch each morning. The trees are beautiful!

Near perfect

The property was really amazing. The hosts thought of everything. I loved the kayak and canoe to paddle around the water. The property managers also were accommodating. The one downside is that it is next to the highway and the traffic noise was strong when outside. But everything about it was perfect other than that.

Best friends family vacation.

We had two different families meet up to have our kids as well as the adults get together and enjoy each other’s company. This was the perfect location for it. All of the amenities created for endless amount of activities as well as the surrounding area. You can enjoy staying at the house swimming in the creek and playing yard activities; or you can get out and enjoy hiking, swimming holes, caves, fun restaurants, or other activities in the surrounding areas. We normally do the beach but feel that this trip was so much better. The house was easy access to town, grocery stores, restaurants, while being thoroughly accommodating with toiletries and kitchen supplies. We throughly enjoyed our trip. This will definitely be a vacation hard to beat. Thank you!

Neat little place

The house was really charming, very updated and beautiful setting. However, it was not clean. The floors needed mopping and the whole place needed dusting. The breakers kept tripping in the bathrooms and we ran out of water the last night. Maybe because we had to buy a kiddie pool because there wasn’t access to get in the river and float like the trip was intended for. Plus, all of the water ways and swimming holes in the area were closed for high bacteria levels. Other than that, it was a nice weekend with the girls.

Did not meet expectations

The rental unfortunately did not live up to the online listing. We were expecting to have a spot to swim and play in the water as advertised but that was not the case at all. The water was stagnant and smelled and the "creek" bank was completely overgrown with vegetation. The rental also struggled with pest problems including ants that got in our food and a rat which we saw in the bedroom (saw its feces in multiple spots around the house).

Beautiful view, but lots of road noise

We loved the screened porch. However the road noise is a distracting. I discovered the air conditioner in the main bedroom did not work about 8:00 on our first night. While the rest of the house was cool, the bedroom was stuffy. Since I knew they weren't open at that time, I waited until the next morning. She told me they had repaired in 8 (yes, 8) times and apparently a new circuit board was in order. However it wouldn't arrive until after we left. She said we could find another place to stay or since it was a 3 bedroom property we could stay in the third bedroom which had 2 sets of bunk beds. .She offered a $25 credit but only for one night since I didn't inform her of the problem when we arrived. I haven't seen the credit yet. Overall, the house is nice and the grounds are beautiful and relaxing.

Waste of money

The house is cool but needed to be cleaned and there were ants everywhere. The water in the creek was nasty and nobody should go in it, so if you’re looking for a nice place to chill in the water, go elsewhere. It was expensive and me and my group drove all the way from Dallas and they waited until the day of checkin to fill out a rental agreement and then charged me extra because I had 7 people in a home that sleeps 10 and they would share the code to unlock the place until I paid it. Shady group to rent from… 10/10 would not recommend.
