About this property

Private Waterfront Hill Country Retreat with Kayaks, Fire Pit on 5 Acres

  • Welcome to Wimberley Riverhaus, your serene sanctuary nestled along the tranquil banks of Lone Man Creek in the heart of Texas Hill Country. This charming waterfront retreat sits on 5 acres of picturesque land, offering unparalleled opportunities for swimming, fishing, kayaking, and pure relaxation. Originally built in 1946, Wimberley Riverhaus has been lovingly renovated and remodeled to blend rustic charm with modern comforts, creating the perfect setting for your family getaway or group retreat.

    As you arrive, the soothing sounds of the creek and the majestic oak trees provide a warm welcome, inviting you to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the surroundings. Park under the covered porch, where easy access to the front door awaits. Step inside and feel instantly at home in "The Perfect River House," where abundant natural light, limestone accents, and wood floors set the stage for a memorable stay. The “drop zone” offers a convenient space for river gear, ensuring that adventure is always just steps away.

    With three spacious bedrooms, including a fun room with four twin beds for the kids (or kids at heart) and two cozy bedrooms - Wimberley Riverhaus comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests. Freshen up in the stylish bathrooms adorned with subway tile and ample counter space before gathering in the open-concept living area. Relax by the fireplace, watch a movie on the large screen TV, or whip up delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen featuring sapphire cabinetry and plenty of counter space. Dine indoors at the table for six or savor meals al fresco on the screened porch overlooking the serene water views.

    Outside, a private water park awaits, offering endless opportunities for aquatic adventures. Swim, tube, kayak, or simply unwind along the creek's edge, surrounded by the natural beauty of the hill country. Explore the 5 acres of private land, swing under the oak trees, or gather around the charcoal grill for a cookout with family and friends. As the sun sets, gather around the fire pit to roast marshmallows, share stories, and marvel at the starry Texas sky.

    Venture beyond the river's edge to discover the charms of Wimberley and its surrounding area. Just minutes away, explore the quaint shops and delicious restaurants of downtown Wimberley, or embark on outdoor excursions to Jacobs Well, Blue Hole Regional Park, or Zipline Adventures. For a day trip, head to Canyon Lake for boating and breathtaking views, or visit historic Gruene for live music and southern hospitality. Nearby New Braunfels offers even more attractions, from river tubing and water parks to wineries and breweries, ensuring that every day is filled with adventure and relaxation.

    Whether you seek outdoor thrills or peaceful moments by the water, Wimberley Riverhaus offers the perfect escape for your Texas Hill Country vacation. Come experience the magic of Lone Man Creek and create unforgettable memories with loved ones at Wimberley Riverhaus.

Great little place

We really enjoyed staying here. The house was older but updated. The best part of the say is really the property. The creek that runs outside the house is very clear. My kids enjoyed going on the canoe and the kayak. They also enjoyed swimming. My son put on goggles and swam and looked at the little fish. He said it was awesome. We loved sitting around the fire at night and sitting outside or in the screened in porch each morning. The trees are beautiful!

Although we could not use fire place, fire pitt, nor canoes because of drought and burn ban we still loved our time there. Only problem ,which was handled swiftly was when water shut off while I was washing my hair.
