About this property

Rio Cantando I Blanco River, Pool, Hot Tub, Game Room

Rio Cantando truly is a state of the art, upscale fully furnished vacation retreat. This amazing two level house sits right on the roaring rapids of the Blanco River minutes from our downtown Wimberley square. As you pull through the gated entrance and make your way to the back of the property where the house rests, you will take pleasure in the peaceful scenery of the superbly maintained surrounding lands. As soon as you pull into the circle driveway you will know you’ve reached the correct place as the sounds of the humming river rapids bring you to a calming state of mind.
Enter through the large, solid wood front doors to an open living space with high vaulted ceilings, sparkling wood floors, and enormous windows overlooking the swimming pool and Blanco River. You will definitely enjoy fantastic views from every room in the house. As you make your way to the gourmet kitchen, you will find granite counter tops, two ovens, two refrigerators, and a separate ice maker. These amenities will all come in very handy while preparing those large scrumptious meals for the whole group! There is also two large dining tables so everyone gets to enjoy their food comfortably. As you make your way to the back half of the home, you will discover what may quickly be your favorite room of the whole house, the game room! Equipped with a flat screen TV, nice beautiful pool table with all the proper accessories needed for some competitive games with one another. This is paradise!
Rio Cantando is extremely spacious and can comfortably accommodate up to twelve guests.

The master suite is absolutely breath taking with access to the outside covered deck and an abundance of windows providing lots of natural lighting. Rest comfortably at night on the plush king size bed or take a quick nap on the futon. This spectacular room also features two separate his & her bathrooms each having its own shower, toilet, and walk in closet for complete convenience. Downstairs you find the three more spacious bedrooms each having a walk in closet and direct access to the beautiful back yard. All of the bed furniture in the home is made from stunning hand carved wood that will blow you away.

The backyard is filled with endless opportunities of fun for everyone. From the very well maintained landscaping to the gated blue waters of swimming pool and river, it is a very surreal hill country setting. The covered patio is where the fun begins. A gas grill and a large table and chairs to dine at on the days that are just to beautiful to dine indoors. After dinner relax in the eight person elevated hot tub or a cool swim in the in ground pool. The rock fire pit has benches with enough room for everyone to gather round and roast some yummy marshmallows. Follow the stone walk way all the way down the river where you will find some eye catching rapids and a perfect natural swimming hole.

This uniquely enchanting home is filled with fine furnishings and immaculate scenery. With all the bells and whistles imaginable, this fine home will provide you with everything you are seeking for vacation that will be remembered without ever having to leave. For those who have a taste for the “finer things”, look no further, Rio Contando will meet your every need.

Company Retreat
great stay, house good, I suggest you have that keypad fixed, we only got it to work once after the office reset, it would never lock using the Locksafe button, had to lock from inside and leave back door open which was not ideal as we had some very expensive belongings in the house.

Perfect Hill Country Getaway for Extended Family or Friends
This property was perfect for our group of six. The house is very spacious, and spread out. You never felt like you were imposing on others space. All the beds were very comfortable and big. The views to the river were gorgeous. The sunrise and sunset do not disappoint. There were deer in the backyard, and lots of birds to watch. The river noise was so peaceful. We were able to jog and run the 3/4 mile paved entrance for exercise. The location was perfect for hopping in the car and going to the town square. We enjoyed family dinners and puzzle making. The fire pit was great for evening time. We highly recommend this property to get away and enjoy the noises of the quiet hill country.

Beautiful property but feces in the closet!!!
I love this house and the property! We are a family of 5 — 15 month old, 8 and 10 year old daughters. This house was a great escape and on our first day…my middle daughter found the biggest pile of feces I. The closet. We didn’t know about it until a couple of hours after checking in — we arrived, enjoyed the outdoors, sorted out dinner and then when we started to unpack..bam! We called the property manager around d 7-8pm…no one can clean it up until the next day!! The listing stated 24 hour call service; the property manager’s customer service is an offshored service and they stated no one from the local office could be contacted! We had to wait until the next day when someone contacted us at 10AM that someone would be at the house in a hour. We arrived after lunch, A LOT of bleach/chemical fumes. We had to air out the downstairs floor and it took until at least the next day to be decent. You could still smell undertones of feces and bleach. I mean seriously, how does the cleaning crew leave a pile of feces in a closet!!!!!!! Again, house is beautiful but I think the homeowner should find a dedicated property manager.

Beautiful property that feels so secluded. Plenty of things to do outside from swimming in the river, hanging in the swimming pool, bocce ball, horse shoes, billiards to just relaxing in the hot tub. Lots of room as well on the inside with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Will definitely be back!
