Great, with a catch!
Not private! Next to another home with unobstructed view from house to house. The water in the house smells so awful. The yard needs ant treatment badly. The river was peaceful and relaxing. The house is well designed and enjoyable.

Cute and cozy but not completely Private
The cabin itself was very cute and cozy, minus the ants. We came home with a few bites from ants that were in the bedroom and living room. The listing makes it seem as though it is pretty secluded which is not the case with another property 20 yards away. The river was a little walk down a hill. The river itself was beautiful and very private with only another couple that arrived later in the day. All in all a great weekend with just a few annoyances.

Small but perfect riverside retreat
Great location away from the busy 4th of July river crowd. Access to the Blanco river to an awesome swimming hole. Enjoyed my quiet morning coffee listening to the birds and other hill country sounds. Would definitely stay again. Mattresses upstairs were a bit stiff for my taste but not too bad for my kiddos. Thanks for the Texas hospitality

Father’s Day weekend
Online everything looked so much bigger including the loft. The loft was a good laugh when my kids went up bc they were all too tall so they were crawling.. the placement of the house in the same lot or space as the other house was not ideal for us. We just want to relax and not have to worry about bothering others.. so that was not ideal for us but other than that the property was nice. Also, just a thought.. in looking at the other houses they had steps to get down to the river, which I’d assume be much easier especially if you have any elders visit. Anyways, ty for loaning your property to us

Good family getaway
Pros: The piece of Blanco river access was absolutely amazing!! Both shallow and deep areas and walking distance from the house. Wimberley close by for shops and best restaurant Wimberley Cafe. Cons: Horrible smell from hot water heater when showering that filled the tiny house. (My husband says the anode needs to be removed). Very loud window unit in bedroom and needed to be cleaned better (hair on floor in kitchen bedroom and bathroom and in bed sheets). Neighbors very close to one side of house (although never bothered us).

It was beautiful and right off the river. It is right next to the main house so it got a bit loud while they had guests over. But overall a beautiful spot!

Super Cute
Super cute house and pretty property. The river was beautiful and the kids loved playing in it. The only thing we didn't love was the house(assuming the owners) is extremely close to this house, you can't see that in the pictures. Just makes it less private than we prefer. Otherwise it was great.

Blanco River perfection!
This adorable tiny house is located about 15 minutes from the conveniences of Wimberley. The beautiful, turquoise water is a short path away from the doorsteps. We had a long stretch of the river to ourselves to swim, fish, and explore in our kayaks. It is a peaceful setting with tons of wildlife - birds, squirrels, deer, armadillo, and wild turkey. The house was clean and well-stocked with everything we needed for our stay.

Birthday Getaway
Great spot for a quiet getaway. The house is tiny just as described but perfect for a small family or couple. The water is a short distance away and even though there are other properties with access we had the river all to ourselves the whole weekend. The owner’s property is right next to the VRBO but we never saw anyone home during our time there.

This is a really nice, quiet property on the river close to town. We spent quite a bit of time snorkeling the river. The house has a unique layout that works for both parents and kids. Highly recommended and would stay again.
