Step back in time with a visit to Miss Lillie Dobie's House - like visiting Grandma! Just blocks from the 'Square' in downtown Wimberley & close enough to walk. A quaint and charming little village, Wimberley is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Just 40 minutes from either Austin or San Antonio, 30 minutes from New Braunfels, 20 minutes from San Marcos, Wimberley offers a host of activities. Beat the heat with a swim in the cool local swimming holes - Blanco River or Cypress Creek at Blue Hole; shop to your hearts content at the famous 'Market Days', two overflowing Thrift Stores with great bargains, or in the many unique boutiques and antique stores around town; visit art galleries; or dine at any one of several restaurants - two within walking distance.
Miss Lillie Dobie's House is a historical home built in the 1920s by John and Lillie Dobie, and was originally part of a 133-acre farm owned by the founding Wimberley family in the 1890s. Situated on an acre and a quarter of completely fenced land, Miss Lillie's house offers accommodations for bed and breakfast guests, private parties, or small, intimate weddings. WE WELCOME LONG TERM RENTALS!
This historic Hill Country home has been lovingly decorated with special attention to vintage and antique furnishings. The house contains all of the original doors, windows, wood floors,light fixtures,ceiling fans, & beadboard walls and ceilings,along with the original windmill which towers above the back yard. A rock wall fence with the original gate still in place graces the front yard, while an ancient, majestic oak shades the relaxing comfort of a wonderful front porch spanning the length of the house. Yet it is also fully insulated with central air and heat.
This cozy retreat offers two bedrooms, one bath, a living room, dining room, full kitchen, and will sleep four comfortably. The whole house is reserved for your stay. In addition, the quaint Bunkhouse out back will sleep 2 on the queen bed in sleeping loft, and one on futon downstairs, and has its own bath/shower and kitchenette.
Centrally located, Miss Lillie's house is within walking distance of the Blanco River and downtown, yet retains its charm as a cozy country "oasis." [This property is not handicap accessible due to its age]
