Caretaker's Cottage with Swimming Pool Access on a 75 Acre Ranch

The Caretaker’s Cottage at The Ranch at Wimberley is a cozy little two bedroom one bath cottage situated at the fore of this extensive seventy-five acre property. It comfortably accommodates up to four guests while the entire property can entertain up to fifty. Each room contains a queen size bed with lovely linens and views of the outdoors. The full bathroom has a shower with a cool wood plank accent wall, tub, and oil rubbed bronze fixtures. The full kitchen has updated stainless steel appliances with a great little breakfast nook. The living room has comfortable seating and an electric fireplace for those occasional chilly nights in Central Texas. During your stay, show off your billiard and table tennis skills in the Game Room, or relax under the pergola by the impeccable pool. Take advantage of the two miles of nature trails located on- site or just grill and chill under the awning of the resort style grill area. The Caretaker’s Cottage can be rented alone or in conjunction with the entire property depending on availability. Book your next family gathering at The Ranch at Wimberley and delight in the natural beauty of the Hill Country.

Please note, the game room and pool/hot tub areas are in separate locations on the property. While some guests may enjoy walking, others may find driving to the pool area more convenient as it is located away from the lodging units.

charming cottage

My sister and I had a mini retreat at the caretaker's cottage on this property. We enjoyed the nearby pool on the property, the screened in-porch, and the cottage itself, which was charming and clean and had everything we needed.

Wonderful Stay

We really enjoyed the Caretaker’s Cottage and the property itself. The beds were so comfortable, the house was just the right size for two couples, and the screened in porch was perfect for a cup of coffee in the morning. We also enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings! The property is absolutely beautiful and felt it was within good proximity to both Wimberly and Dripping Springs. We would definitely return!

Great getaway

We live only 30 minutes from Wimberley, but needed a break from our house after months of COVID-19-related staying at home. Heading to the Ranch at Wimberley was a perfect break. The cottage was fantastic. REALLY clean and had everything we needed. Only 2 small issues -- we couldn't figure out the DVD player/streaming device and when I texted the management about it, I never got a response. We made due with a HMDI cord and my computer for our planned family movie night. The other issue -- there was a large family -- I counted 23 members (adults and children) at the pool when we arrived. They took over the entire pool and it was impossible to go in the pool in a safe/social distanced manner with the group there. My son and I waited for about an hour for them to leave so we could swim. Not sure what the management could have done, but providing some guidelines/limits would probably be helpful when large groups are there during the pandemic. The good news, once they left, we had the pool to ourselves! It's a great pool!

Uncompassionate and rude

Wow, if I could give this resort a negative rating I would! We were to go for a weekend stay to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Early Monday morning we received the call no one wants, his father died unexpectedly. We immediately made plans to travel to MN where his parents live. I reached out to the resort to let them know what happened (yes I told them of the unexpected death in our family), I inquired on changing the dates of our stay. Their response was that “no other dates were available”, we were given the option to have a family member or friend go in our place or relisting the cottage in the hope someone would book and we could possibly get a refund. Otherwise, “there was nothing they could do”. There was no compromise and just really made an already difficult situation (coping with the sudden loss of my father in law) so much more of a headache by their lack of compassion, uncaring and rude nature. We were able to find some friends who were able to go to the cottage in our place. I called the resort to inform them, they said they had to get manager approval and would call me right back. Well 4 hours later and no response, I called back and was told “there was nothing they could do and my request was denied” they promptly hung up the phone on me when I asked to speak with the manager. I was flabbergasted, where is the compassion and understanding? How can someone be soo rude? I have since filed a claim with the BBB. Absolutely poor management & rude staff!!!

Delightful little spot

My partner and friends were in town for a wedding. This home was perfect for a simple stay. Bed was cozy and we loved doing yoga on the back patio. The property was secure, clean and kept at the perfect temperature.

Awesome Host and place

Perfect place to unplug and get away! House was clean and had no issues. They have an awesome Game Center with pole and table tennis Horse shoe. Love the western theme and the inclosed back patio. And plenty of land to go for a run. They have a pool area that was always open and secluded. As we were leaving we had an issue waiting for our ride and the host was so sweet and accommodating! If we are ever back in the area, we will definitely rebook. Thanks soo much!!!

Great location

We enjoyed our stay in the Caretaker’s Cottage. It was on a nice property just a short drive in to Wimberley. The cottage was clean and comfortable. The beds and pillows were comfortable, and we enjoyed relaxing in the recliners in the evening. Only minor complaints - the water pressure in the shower sometimes was low, and the WiFi wasn’t strong enough to use Netflix. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub on the property. When we went to the gas grill to grill some chicken for dinner, we discovered that the propane was low. We called the manager, and he came by in less than five minutes to replace the propane tank with a new one. Great service and would definitely stay here again.

This quaint cottage was nicely tucked away only minutes from beautiful wineries and eateries in Wimberley. The cottage was located in a gated community which allowed me to feel safe and secure on the property. The full kitchen and living area allowed us to stay in and relax, making our own breakfast and meals. The WiFi was lacking as you were continuously knocked on/off. The TV was only local antenna channels which would have been okay if the WiFi was consistent enough to allow us to stream our own movies or shows. The pool access was not clearly defined nor was the grill access as these appeared to be for the guest staying at the main house or the tiny house near the pit. We unfortunately did not get to use these amenities but were looking forward to grilling our steaks on the pit which we ended up doing on the stove top. The bed situation was by far sub-par. Thin and in need of replacing, sleeping in either bed (we tried both hoping one was better than the other) was like sleeping on bones. We both woke up with back pain after tossing and turning all night trying to get comfortable. One of the tiny homes on the property may have provided a better nights sleep but the nap I took in the recliner was more restful then either nights in the bed.

A little work/birthday getaway with the family,everything was nice and beautiful the place was very!

Renting the cottage was easy because my boss got it for us. The place was amazing it had a very large pool which was 4,5,8 feet deep,the only set back was opening an closing the gate,you had to get out of your vehicle each and every time to open an close the gate,they should’ve made it in a way where you don’t need to get out of your vehicle!!!!
