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 house and location. It would have been better if there was water in the river and if we could have used the firepit.

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!

Perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature. The house was large and accommodating for our party of 6. We loved sitting in the screened porch and outdoors, on the patio overlooking the water.

Great location, great house. However, the picture does not represent the current situation. There is no water at the riverhaus. The primary factor for us renting this house was the access to the river. The riverbed is dry. It is important for others to be aware of this factor. If the river is not an important factor then it's a cute place to stay.

This house and property were so beautiful, the house is spacious enough to spread out and the outside spaces along with the screened in porch were great! We really enjoyed hanging out, the hammock and 2 swings were a bonus. We’d definitely stay here again.

Thanks for a lovely time.

The house was just lovely…nicely furnished, comfortable beds, nice kitchen, and lovely patio dining. Four long time friends gathered for the week, and we enjoyed the time spent visiting and catching up, sitting outside watching the river drift by, listening to the birds, and observing the deer that came by each morning.

Overall a wonderful stay. From the views to just being tucked away in the woods. Everything you need to completely relax. There was only 2 things I didn’t really care for . One was there’s only curtains in the bedrooms. Two there is only one tv in the entire house. This doesn’t reflect the 5 star . Just maybe take attn to this. We will be back for sure

Hill Country Escape

Family was looking forward to getting out of the city and enjoying peace and quiet by the river. However, the home is located directly off a busy road. The traffic noise was constant. This took away from the location.Also, the furniture could use upgrading. The dining room/breakfast area chairs were metal and not very comfortable.

Near perfect

The property was really amazing. The hosts thought of everything. I loved the kayak and canoe to paddle around the water. The property managers also were accommodating. The one downside is that it is next to the highway and the traffic noise was strong when outside. But everything about it was perfect other than that.

Best friends family vacation.

We had two different families meet up to have our kids as well as the adults get together and enjoy each other’s company. This was the perfect location for it. All of the amenities created for endless amount of activities as well as the surrounding area. You can enjoy staying at the house swimming in the creek and playing yard activities; or you can get out and enjoy hiking, swimming holes, caves, fun restaurants, or other activities in the surrounding areas. We normally do the beach but feel that this trip was so much better. The house was easy access to town, grocery stores, restaurants, while being thoroughly accommodating with toiletries and kitchen supplies. We throughly enjoyed our trip. This will definitely be a vacation hard to beat. Thank you!
