A nice perk of this home is that we have DEEP WATER in the Blanco now- other areas are dried up during this drought, but our area has 6' of water!! YEA!! Experience a special log cabin home tucked away, yet close to everything! Travel 3 miles along scenic River Rd. on the Blanco River (from Wimberley Square), and you soon arrive at your new home. It's “Nouveau Rustique”, and has all the amenities you need (central air/heat, full kitchen,linens). Wimberley is amazing--voted one of the "Best Top 10 small towns" in the US.
Enjoy a very peaceful setting with an area to make a campfire, grill a steak, and enjoy the wooded surroundings outside. A gas grill is also provided (for those who don't want to "rough it"). We have a fenced backyard for pets to roam, too!
This log home has been completely renovated--you will be amazed at the interior. The kitchen is better than mine at home! The house is very roomy--1650 square feet--room for everyone! You can walk from the backyard only 200 yards to the Blanco River from the cabin.. It’s a very nice area to hike and walk along.
Stay put and relax, or venture out to enjoy wine tasting nearby, or Wimberley Square, with many Antique shops and cafe's surrounding Cypress Creek and the Blanco River. Visit a recreated 1800's town square(1 mile from cabin). "Market Days" is held on the first Saturday of each month April-Dec (crafts/music/food). Blue Hole is nearby (Top ten Texas's best swimming holes). And, tubing down the Guadalupe in New Braunfels is very close by, and is my favorite thing to do in the summer.....

Why the Owner Chose Wimberley
Wimberley is special- it's very quaint, with creeks and the Blanco River running through it. I have always wanted a log home, and this one was perfect- the property is very cute with rock everywhere and woods on one side.
The Unique Benefits at this House
This area has DEEP WATER on the Blanco-- an important part of the experience..only a 200yd walk through the backyard to get to it. Antique shops are very close by-tons of them!! River road is very beautiful, and is a 3 mile drive along the river to get to my house. It's so quiet there!! Easy to chill out, make a fire outside, and RELAX!!!
Owner's Map of Wimberley
I have a vacation rental business with properties in Austin, Wimberley, and New Orleans. Vacation is a very important part of life, and I love being a part of this industry. I have been in real estate investing for 8 years, and am also a Realtor; I like to provide what people want and need for a rental, as I do when I go on vacation. I will never stay in a hotel again!! Homes are MUCH nicer!!
