Hill Country Home on the Blanco River, Pool, Hottub, Game Room
Vacation Property Masters averages 4.9 stars with over 800+ reviews across all 9 of our luxury rentals in Wimberley.
Beautiful Hill Country home called 'The Great Escape at Wimberley' is directly on the crystal-clear Blanco River in highly desirable Wimberley, Texas. You will be in a private 3300 square foot home on three lush acres with almost 300 feet of direct river frontage. This home has 6 bedrooms and 5 baths. There is a separate Game room with an 8' pool table, shuffleboard, and 3 large windows overlooking the river.
River Suite/Game Room - 1 queen bed, twin bed, full size washer and dryer, and a private bath with a tile shower and granite countertops. The River Suite is always included when renting the main house.
The rock bottom river runs continuous through the year and is almost always at a very leisurely flow, great for kids. The covered back porch provides a beautiful view of the river and the surrounding hills. Easy to watch the activity in the river directly from the porch.
Sit in the back yard and BBQ your dinner for the night. Enjoy a glass of ice tea, or a glass of wine, as you watch the deer and the river move through the back yard. Sit in the hot tub and watch the deer and the river. Enjoy the outdoor firepit.
Go into Wimberley for the great shopping, fine and casual dining, or enjoy the many festivals that go on throughout the year. Take in a live performance at one of Wimberley's live theater groups.
We are only 25 minutes from New Braunfels, an hour from San Antonio, less than 25 minutes from Austin and Lake Travis. Within one hour you have tubing, Schlitterbahn, San Antonio river-walk, Lake Travis, Canyon Lake, caves, and all of the wonders that the Texas Hill Country has to offer.
Outside we have a large covered porch overlooking the river, over 2500 sq ft of rock sidewalks and patios. There is also a large outdoor fire pit. A large covered Country gazebo with an 8ft pic nic table perfect for outdoor dining.
Beautiful pool with lounge area, free standing hot tub for 8 people. A large lounging area around the pool with table and chairs for 6. The pool is fully fenced in with a new walkway to the back of the house facing the Blanco River. The pool has two areas one for wading and swimming for the whole family to enjoy. Plenty of privacy!
The house is completely furnished and comes complete with all linens, towels, cooking utensils, BBQ pit, etc. to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We have smart TVs, and Hi-Speed Internet.

Great property, especially for larger groups. Plenty of space to spread out without being in top of each other. We will definitely book this property again.
I had a large group with multiple families including 2 of my grandbabies. The space fit all of us and we didnt feel cramped. Each of the couples had their own bathroom (major plus!) Even with everyone talking and the TV on, no one woke the grandbabies . I would highly recommend staying at the great escape! You wont regret it!!
The property was a perfect size for our family group of 15. It is well maintained, private, and stocked with all necessary kitchen tools. We highly recommend this property.
Stay with a large multigenerational family. This was a wonderful spot, close to town and plenty of amenities to keep everyone (from toddler to grandparent) happy.
Great location, well appointed, quiet and serene setting.Our family included all ages, from toddler up to grandparents, and was enjoyed by all. Highly recommended for access to groceries, wineries, hiking, shopping, and area amenities.Room to spread out and relax by the river, on the porch, by the grill, or by the pool!
Perfect relaxing get away for our work group. The back porch full of rocking chairs and view of the deer grazing was a perfect ending to a day of meetings.
Our extended family stayed at Great Escape for the weekend and had the best time. If you’re looking for an excellent house with tons of space and fun activities this is the place for you. We would absolutely stay there again.
For an extended family get-together this was the PERFECT spot!
Great views, wonderful pool and hot-tub, and the kitchen was exceptionally well stocked! Definitely a place to come back!!!
We gathered for a family reunion and this property was perfect for us. Relaxing vibe and we grilled or ordered out our meals. We enjoyed seeing the river and the wildlife. Rooms were comfortable with just the right amount of privacy.
The house is very accommodating - lots of beds and a spacious dining area. Between the game room, pool, hot tub and river there is plenty to do. One pre-teen, two teenagers and several adults were all entertained.
This was everything we hoped for and more. We cannot wait to come back!

Great Escape is a wonderful place to stay
We were a group of 11 friends and family and we all loved this place and definitely stay here again. Pictures do not do this place justice at all. I’d recommend this home to anyone and everyone

William,
Thanks for the review! We are so glad everyone in your group enjoyed our home. We look forward to having you back.
Perfect property for a family get together. Great views, wildlife, proximity to town. Plenty of room indoors and out, highly functional kitchen and the game room/xtra living space was big hit. Feed for the deer was a nice touch. Property manager answered all questions (hot tub controls, trash pickup etc.) very quickly. Great place!
We thoroughly enjoyed the house and the grounds. The kids had a great time in the pool and splashing around in the river. I enjoyed the back porch and listening to the birds and sounds of nature. The house accommodated us well and was very comfortable.
8 women (sisters, aunts, cousins) stayed together and it worked out perfectly. The house was well-equipped to cook for a large group, and the other family that stayed at another home came over for some meals and it was never a crowded ordeal. This is a wonderful large-group house!

About the host
Hosted by Shiloh Collins
Peggy and Phil Collins bought this house in 2006 to use as their Getaway from the city. We wanted it comfortable for us, so now everyone gets to enjoy The Great Escape. We are blessed that everyone seems to love this place ( we have had some groups back over 17 times in our 10 years, and our repeat guest rate is over 45% ). We continue to make investments in this property, so that it is better each time you come back. Photo is taken in Shanghai China.
Why they chose this property
This property is in a prime location. It is directly on the Blanco river, that has a steady flow all of the time. It is 3 acres on a lot that provides privacy for any size group. This house was originally a farm house built in 1957, and has been updated with all modern amenities. The covered back porch is lined with teak rocking chairs to enjoy the view of the river and surrounding hills. The river flows at a pace that allows you to pull your chair into the river, relax, and sip a glass of wine. Wimberley is fun year round, and we enjoy the off season as much as high season.
What makes this property unique
The furnishings are all unique and are not a throw down of mass produced items. Peggy and I enjoy shopping for antiques and unique pieces that give the home a lot of character. For the guests we provide paperback books, board games, bocci ball, horse shoes, jigsaw and puzzles. We have high speed wireless, so you can work ( Ugh! ) on your laptop on the back porch ( if you have to work ). We have a large Binder in the house offering details on the vast majority of attractions in the area.
