Perfect Spot to enjoy the Hill Country
We rented this home for our yearly family vacation and it was excellent. The home is spacious, clean, and beautiful. It was close to downtown Wimberley and about a 20 minute drive to Canyon Lake. The pool was nice and it was great to be able to walk down to the Blanco River behind the property. We were there mid-July and there wasn't a lot of water running through the river but it was fun for the kids to see the little fish, etc. There was also a few families of deer that crossed through the back. The bathrooms appeared to all have been semi-recently remodeled and were super nice. Everyone agreed that we would love to stay here again!

We gathered for a family reunion and this property was perfect for us. Relaxing vibe and we grilled or ordered out our meals. We enjoyed seeing the river and the wildlife. Rooms were comfortable with just the right amount of privacy.

The Great Escape. Is perfect!
House was lovely with a beautiful yard, pool, cooking patio, and wrap around porches with plenty of amazing rockers to enjoy the Blanco river. Which was a little dry due to Mother Nature. Lots of wildlife travel though the yards awaiting for a treat. The house has plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate a large group. There is even a bonus game room with yet another bedroom and bathroom.

Perfect River spot
The house is roomy and comfortable. Just as advertised. Kitchen is so well stocked and lots of space for our groceries. Plenty of dining space and even a game table. Nice big comfortable bedrooms and updated and sleek bathrooms upstairs. The pool and bbq area are perfect for evening cookout and swim. The real kicker is the view of the river and the river spot. Perfect for kids to play in, and adults to lay in. Nice beach area to set up a tent and chairs and spend the whole day there. And the deer and foxes and birds are just mesmerizing. 6 out of 5 stars. I see why people hook the Great Escape over and over each year. We will come again too!

We have a friend’s trip every year in Texas and this year we stayed at the great escape. House is comfortable and well stocked. Plenty of space of 15 of us. Pool was clean and well maintained. The river is a short walk from the house which is great with little ones. It wasn’t flowing very quickly but not the properties fault. We even had a little grey fox playing around on the rocks near the house.

Perfect Property on the River in Wimberley

Family reunion
The property handled our multigenerational family re-union well. Although the weather did not allow for water activity, the pool looked like it would have been fun. Unfortunately, the hot tub would not heat over 90 degrees (but we didn't notify management to address). The gameroom with pool table, shuffleboard, and PacMan was great for the young ones. I imagine TV is not the main draw for this property, but on this football Saturday, the TV and main living room space felt a bit tight for the number of people (8 adults, a teen, and four under 8). The beds were softer than we prefer - and may need updating. That said, the property had a great porch; and the land around the home was great for walking. The Blanco river in the front was easily accessible - although only a small stream at this visit, it made for a peaceful vibe. Overall, would recommend.

Amazing Home & Host
Everything from communication, customer service, and well-thought-out amenities for a big group of 14 of us - was spot on. I highly recommend this host and home for anyone looking to have a long-weekend retreat. Beautiful scenery, tons of space, and a short drive to downtown to get out of the house. 10/10 in my books.

Cool Cousins Weekend
We are a group six cousins that try to get together with our spouses once a year. We are close to hitting the 10 year mark. We've been various locations with lovely homes. However, this one hit the spot! We will probably go back some time next year. The house was very roomy, ample bathrooms, kitchen was well stocked but could have used some salt shakers and additional pot holders. But if that's the only thing I think we're doing pretty good. I can't say enough about the outdoor area. We were in the rocking chairs on the back porch all day every day. We waited until the last minute to check out because we were still in the rocking chairs. Wimberly is such a neat little town. We needed more time. The only thing that could have made things better is more water in the river behind the property. But that is up to God. I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

Loved it
I rented two houses with this property management company (wedding held in Wimberley) and personally stayed at this one. I loved that it was right at the river. Sitting outside on the porch in a rocker was just the right way to start each day. Communication with the management company was easy and they were very responsive.

Holiday getaway
This is a wonderful property for a large group and perfect when Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate and allow outdoor fun. Our Thanksgiving family trip was spent much of the time in the spacious family room in front of the fire playing games, eating and more. Since it was a holiday we did extensive cooking and the kitchen didn’t disappoint. There are plenty of dishes and cookware and great small and large appliances. The only thing we missed was a garbage disposal. The view from the back porch is lovely and we had looked forward to time spent there sipping coffee or wine, but again, the weather didn’t give us much opportunity to do so. I guess we’ll just have to return to take advantage of the outdoor activities this property offers.

Truly a great escape!
Our stay was fantastic. We had a group of 12 women meeting for a weekend of collegial connection and rest. The size of the space allowed plenty of room rest and socializing, all beds comfortable and cozy, and many beautiful outdoor spaces to enjoy the sounds of the Wimberely and the Blanco River. The host was very communicative and helped us with a late check out. I’ve stayed at another property by this host and there is consistent excellence. Highly recommend!

Birthday celebration (60th) for my wife.
I chose this area based on my son’s recommendation, as I was looking for something that was not a “long” drive for our dispersed family. This was the perfect fit and location to celebrate my wife’s 60th birthday. The hardest part was keeping it a surprise. The house was very neat and clean, and (although we did very little cooking) seemed to have anything you would need. The view is absolutely beautiful, and will be even better when the drought subsides. Check in and out was very easy. We would definitely stay here again.

This will forever be my favorite house in Wimberley. We have stayed in this home 4 times and it feels like home every time we pull into the gate.

Stayed here once, and came back again with more family.
Last year we celebrated my sisters bachelorette with a few close friends. This year we wanted to celebrate our grandmothers 85th birthday and we knew the perfect place! Our favorite things about this location is it’s connection to the river and proximity to “downtown” Wimberly. Our favorite thing about the amenities its the spacious sleeping accommodations, with no bunk beds which is a family preference, the back porch with several rocking chairs, and the pool/hot tub area. Management was kind, and responsive. We will be back again!!
