About this property

Gorgeous Log Home on Private Acres

Paper Moon is a lovely log cabin nestled among oaks and elms in the quiet countryside, just 1.5 miles from downtown Wimberley. You’ll cross a scenic low water crossing over Pierce Creek, a wet-weather creek that runs through the front of the property, as you drive in. This spacious cabin was lovingly hand-built in 1985, and has been recently renovated by the current owners while retaining its rustic charm.
Paper Moon is ideal for family and friend gatherings as well as romantic escapes. Shopping and dining in Wimberley is only 5 minutes away, or you can just stay at the cabin and watch the deer graze as you enjoy your morning coffee from the porch, have a family BBQ on the covered deck, enjoy the hot tub and fire pit, or snuggle up by the fireplace. Thischarming log home with 3 bedrooms (2 private, 1 loft) and two bathrooms features a hot tub, outdoor seating, a fire pit, a large covered deck, charcoal grill and hammock.
The name Paper Moon comes from a popular portrait fad that began in the late 19th century. It was an inexpensive and fun way to have one’s portrait taken and paper moon booths were often set up at fairs and carnivals. We enjoy these vintage portraits which often depict folks with big grins having a good time, unlike traditional portraits of the time. As you meander from room to room in our charming cabin you’ll find vintage paper moon photos hanging on the walls, including some sent in by previous guests.

This eco-conscious cabin offers: recycling, eco-friendly soaps, detergents & cleaning products, recycled premium paper products and a reverse-osmosis drinking water system (no need for plastic bottles).
Pet policy:
Up to two friendly, leashed pets are welcome. Our pet fee is $50/pet. Please crate pets that are left alone. If you have more than two pets, please discuss before booking.

Please note: the water at the Pierce Creek low water crossing is designed to gently flow over the road, however, the water can rise during periods of extremely heavy rain so please use good judgment before crossing. This generally doesn't happen more than a couple of times a year, and we find that it typically recedes to a normal level within an hour or two of the rain stopping. We're always happy to pop over and take a look if you're unsure about the water level.

Cabin is great, outside noise detracted from scenic setting
We had a great stay. The cabin is as-described - well-appointed, cozy, had all the tools we needed. No complaints about the property. Owners were communicative. A couple things out of the owner's control detracted from our full relaxation. The nights we stayed a neighbor's dog was barking voraciously all night long, disrupting our peaceful campfire. And the noise from adjacent FM12 pulled us back to the reality of being in a town and not in the country, as the property's charms will lead you to believe. (we awoke to bucks battling in the field!) Am I being picky? Yes. But with as few vacations as I take, I bring my own high expectations, and the noise bugged me. It may not bother you! It was less bothersome to some of my friends, so just bringing it up if you're noise-sensitive like me. Proximity to Blue Hole was perfect and why we chose this property,

Wonderful and Cozy Getaway
Owners were very communicative and we very much enjoyed our stay. The only feedback I can give is that the fan in the indoor fireplace needed to be lubricated. Very noisy and rusty when we tried using fireplace.

Unplugged Christmas
We needed a long weekend getaway with minimal electronics to celebrate Christmas - and your cabin provided. While we didn't use the hot tub, we enjoyed the fire pit one night with ghost stories and beverages. Your dining table was the perfect size for working jigsaw puzzles. Thank you for letting us add our daughter-in-law and toddler grandson at the last minute. He loved the stairs!! We relaxed, laughed, and went into town only once. We were only a mile or so from town and yet felt we were in a remote country location with bright stars. Thank you again and again for your quick responses and loan of your wonderful cabin. It was perfect!

Cute Cabin
Was a good stay, property as advertised and clean. More road noise than I was hoping for, but only heard when outside. Check-in process was a little challenging but not sure where that responsibility lies. There were no details on check-in/door code within my confirmation emails or app (I checked and had 2 other people in my party check), so not sure if there was a problem because I only booked a couple days out and the typical sequence of communication didn't occur. However, the homeowner was responsive and communicative once I reached out about not having access details 30 mins from check-in time.

Staying at the Paper Moon Cabin was awesome, so relaxing and comfortable. Easy to locate.
The Paper Moon Cabin is comfortable, tucked in the woods, private but close to the little town of Wimberley. The beds were very comfortable, lots of bedding if needed, 2 full bathrooms, 3 bedrooms and a great kitchen. The living room is comfortable and on a cold night a cast iron fire place for warming. The hot tub and fire pit is a great adder especially after a full day of fun. I highly recommend staying at the Paper Moon and plan on staying there again. The owners are easy to get in touch with and provide all the information you need. Be sure to look at the picture book on the kitchen cabinet of when the cabin was being built. Really cool to see.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer and Gregory

Host profile image
Jennifer and Gregory love living in in the picturesque village of Wimberley and sharing their unique vacation rentals with their guests. Gregory is a woodworker and his handiwork is evident in each of their vacation homes. Jennifer is an art teacher and teaches small classes out of the studio behind their home. They have a large garden, chickens, cats, and two lovely daughters.

Why they chose this property

The Wimberley hill country has a special place in our hearts. We feel like we have our own little slice of hill country heaven and we love to share it with our guests. We are striving to restore the natural landscape of the property outside of the immediate area around the house to provide animal habitat, a healthy riparian landscape and privacy. Our guests often see foxes, deer, a variety of birds, and other wildlife. After we have good rains, the wet-weather creek is a lovely spot to watch for wildlife.

What makes this property unique

This home is the perfect gathering spot for families and friends. The large yard complete with horseshoes, bbq, a hot tub under the veranda and fire pit make it an easy place to have fun, relax, and reconnect. We host many groups coming to Wimberley for weddings, girls' weekends, friend reunions and more. We'd love to host you!
