Surrounded by sweeping oak trees, springtime wildflowers, and tranquil Hill Country skies, this inviting two-bedroom, two-bathroom retreat offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and natural beauty. Thoughtfully designed for couples, families, and friends alike, Clare House is set on a secluded ranch where you can unwind in peace and still be just minutes from Hill Country favorites like Wimberley Square, Canyon Lake, and Whitewater Amphitheater. Whether you're soaking up the stars, grilling under the oaks, or sipping your morning coffee on the porch, every moment here invites you to slow down and stay awhile. Step inside and you’ll find a bright, open-concept living area featuring a plush sectional sofa, an oversized ottoman, two cozy chairs, and a streaming TV—perfect for movie nights or lazy afternoons. The adjoining kitchen is fully equipped with an electric range, microwave, drip coffee maker, refrigerator, and beautiful granite countertops. Crisp white shaker cabinets and ample counter space, including a bar with seating for three, make cooking and gathering a breeze. The primary bedroom suite is your personal haven, with a luxurious queen-sized bed, loveseat seating area, streaming TV, ensuite bathroom, and direct access to the backyard—ideal for stepping out into the fresh air with your morning cup. The ensuite bath features a walk-in shower and stone-top vanity that brings a touch of rustic elegance. The second bedroom offers a comfortable queen bed, two accent chairs, a dresser with mirror, and a clean, calming ambiance. A second full bath with a tub/shower combo provides added convenience for groups. A dedicated laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer makes extended stays simple, and offers direct access to the covered carport, where you'll find an outdoor dining set and a charcoal grill (BYO charcoal). Step out into the private backyard, where you'll discover a fire pit with grill top (available when burn bans are not in effect), additional seating on the extended patio, and endless views of oak trees, wildflowers, and Texas sky. The covered front porch with a small café table and chairs is the perfect spot to enjoy the quiet morning or catch a glimpse of local wildlife like whitetail deer, foxes, roadrunners, and songbirds. At night, Clare House shines—literally. Located in a Dark Sky community, this peaceful retreat is a stargazer’s dream. Lay back, look up, and marvel at the brilliance of the unspoiled night sky.
