We’ve been to Shade Ranch several times and always love our visits, there’s a lot of privacy and it’s beautiful; we don’t ever want to stay anywhere else when we’re in the Wimberley area. Highly recommended.
Had an amazing stay! There were a few hiccups that were handled with quick response communication. The home was absolutely Lovely, clean, and had everything we needed.
We have been coming to Casa Grande since 2015. My family loves this spot on the river. The House is the best and very well stocked. We play a lot of Bocce Ball as well as spending time on the river. We just love it!

Texas Original
This place feels original and unique. We loved it, and will be back!
We enjoyed our stay at this slice of Hill Country paradise! The home is spacious and has everything we needed and more. The host was responsive and helpful. The beautifully kept grounds and views from the home made for a tranquil time in nature. The river access was ideal and we enjoyed playing in the water and fishing. We are dreaming of a return already.
What a beautiful place ! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with my family. This was our 2nd visit to Shade Ranch and will hopefully stay again next year.
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. The home was comfortable and well stocked. There was plenty of space and the river access was great.

Beautiful
Had a wonderful stay at this fully stocked home in a beautiful location. Probably the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in away from home. Would definitely say again. We were fortunate to have a good weather and could enjoy the outdoors without being too hot
This house and property is amazing! Easy access, quiet surroundings nestled into 40 acres, beautiful river views, and a house that has it all! Roby was a wonderful host. We will be back!
This was the perfect place to unwind close to town. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space to spread out and be comfortable. Host was great...everything was perfect. Thanks!

Yearly Retreat Getaway
This is our favorite place to stay anywhere. The house is so beautiful and has the best river views and river frontage. Every year improvements are made to this beautiful property. We go as a group of women every year and have been staying here for about seven years. The house has everything that you need to make your stay perfect.
Overall, the fabulous rental cabin on the Blanco River near Wimberley, Texas is a wonderful place to stay for those seeking a peaceful and comfortable retreat. Our family enjoyed our 3 year old's Birthday party and the river was great fun for swimming, playing on our unicorn & flamingo floats and fishing.
The property was great. An older house that sits right on a cliff along the river. We went in the winter months and enjoyed the fire pit and outdoor area each night. There’s an easy path down to the river that we took our kids to throw rocks in the water. It’s also very close to the main square of Wimberley.

A family fav!!
Our family has been going to Shade Ranch for sixteen years- now three generations have enjoyed it! While the perfect spot on the river has always been our main focus, I’m happy to say that the constant improvements on the home has us equally as impressed. Extremely clean, great bedding (you’ll definitely find your perfect pillow), and so many day to day amenities that provide comfort and entertainment beyond the water. Grounds are meticulous and I’m so happy to see the planted trees flourishing! We counted 17 bird calls, got lots of deer pics, and relished the evening thunderstorms. Absolute perfection through and through. We hope Roby and fam continue to offer this jewel for generations to come! Thank you again!
We have been visiting Wimberly for the last 10 years and this house is by far our favorite! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to grill out and cook all of our meals. The house was spacious and the master bedroom was a dream.The water access was wonderful, we hung out enjoying the cool water, some fished and caught quite a few big ones! The view from the house of the river below was beautiful.Thank you for having us and we hope to be back one day.
