About this property

The Gathering Main House | Pool | Hot Tub | Fire Pit | Stargazing

The Gathering Main House is a private 12-acre retreat perfect for family gatherings, retreats or couples getaways up to 16 guests. This sanctuary is designed to whisk you away on an unforgettable vacation like no other! Located just minutes from Wimberley Square, in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. This 4700 sq ft home, surrounded by majestic oak trees and sweeping hill country vistas, awaits your arrival. It's a haven designed to create cherished memories that will linger for a lifetime.

This property is professionally managed by Hostie Vacation Rentals. They will be available during your entire stay!

The Main House and Cottage are about 1/4 mile from each other. There are mature trees, a large field (for disc golf) and the pickleball court between each home. This helps ensure guests at both homes have plenty of privacy!

As you enter through the private gate (code provided in check-in info), you'll pass by the Cottage (which could be booked by other guests). The Cottage does not have access to the pool, hot tub, dinking court, or grill unless the whole property is rented.

As you continue down the drive, you'll come upon the pickleball court with shaded viewing area. Disc golf enthusiasts will spot baskets, and you might catch a herd of deer or turkeys at the feeder. Continue down the road until you reach the Party Barn, a hub of entertainment with basketball, ping pong, pickleball dinking court, and a medley of outdoor activities suitable for kids and adults alike.

The moment you step inside the main house, you know you have entered a place where comfort and luxury merge seamlessly. Specifically designed to bring family, friends, and large groups together, it still offers plenty of intimate gathering spots for cozy conversation. High-end furnishings and lavish touches pamper you at every turn, ensuring your stay is nothing short of extraordinary. Sink into plush seating in a living space adorned with soaring ceilings, a grand stone fireplace, and an 85" TV, perfect for game day or movie night. The chef's kitchen, fully equipped with gourmet appliances, inspires culinary adventures, while the wood dining table invites memorable feasts where the entire group can gather together. More magic happens outside, as you whip up some mouthwatering BBQ on the gas grill. Convenience is key with a large ice machine just outside.

This 12-acre retreat features a 4,700 sq ft luxe custom home with 5 bedrooms, 3 ½ baths and central heat/air. All bedrooms have room darkening shades over the windows.

A fully fenced yard provides a safe haven for kids to play, while a children's playscape right outside the great room windows ensures entertainment is always at hand. Venture down the concrete path to the rear recreation area, where you can soak up the sun, take a dip in the 40' x 15.5' pool, unwind in the hot tub, or relax on the comfortable outdoor loungers. Challenge your group to games of bocce ball, cornhole, disc golf, or washer toss. Then, as the day winds down, gather under the covered cedar pavilion for snacks, drinks, and quality time. End your day on a sweet note around the fire pit, toasting s'mores as the sky graces you with the magical hues of hill country sunsets.

Oasis in the Hill Country

We absolutely loved every minute of our stay here! Perfect location-close to town but still very private. Impeccably decorated and clean. We had so much fun playing pickleball and using the coffee bar. The fireplace was so relaxing and beds were comfortable. The only downside was that our stay was too short! 2 days is not enough time ! Also loved seeing deer and turkeys.

Adult Retreat

I enjoyed the spacious seclusion of the Gathering with several friends. We appreciated the beds and bathrooms, as the accommodations were great for us adults. Taking walks around the area, using the hot tub, and stargazing were all perfect outdoor activities. The table was large enough to accommodate all of us at meals and relax in the common spaces. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful space.
