Private Waterfront Hill Country Retreat with Kayaks, Fire Pit on 5 Acres
Welcome to Wimberley Riverhaus, your serene sanctuary nestled along the tranquil banks of Lone Man Creek in the heart of Texas Hill Country. This charming waterfront retreat sits on 5 acres of picturesque land, offering unparalleled opportunities for swimming, fishing, kayaking, and pure relaxation. Originally built in 1946, Wimberley Riverhaus has been lovingly renovated and remodeled to blend rustic charm with modern comforts, creating the perfect setting for your family getaway or group retreat.
As you arrive, the soothing sounds of the creek and the majestic oak trees provide a warm welcome, inviting you to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the surroundings. Park under the covered porch, where easy access to the front door awaits. Step inside and feel instantly at home in "The Perfect River House," where abundant natural light, limestone accents, and wood floors set the stage for a memorable stay. The “drop zone” offers a convenient space for river gear, ensuring that adventure is always just steps away.
With three spacious bedrooms, including a fun room with four twin beds for the kids (or kids at heart) and two cozy bedrooms - Wimberley Riverhaus comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests. Freshen up in the stylish bathrooms adorned with subway tile and ample counter space before gathering in the open-concept living area. Relax by the fireplace, watch a movie on the large screen TV, or whip up delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen featuring sapphire cabinetry and plenty of counter space. Dine indoors at the table for six or savor meals al fresco on the screened porch overlooking the serene water views.
Outside, a private water park awaits, offering endless opportunities for aquatic adventures. Swim, tube, kayak, or simply unwind along the creek's edge, surrounded by the natural beauty of the hill country. Explore the 5 acres of private land, swing under the oak trees, or gather around the charcoal grill for a cookout with family and friends. As the sun sets, gather around the fire pit to roast marshmallows, share stories, and marvel at the starry Texas sky.
Venture beyond the river's edge to discover the charms of Wimberley and its surrounding area. Just minutes away, explore the quaint shops and delicious restaurants of downtown Wimberley, or embark on outdoor excursions to Jacobs Well, Blue Hole Regional Park, or Zipline Adventures. For a day trip, head to Canyon Lake for boating and breathtaking views, or visit historic Gruene for live music and southern hospitality.

Excellent destination for guests who like to actually spend some time at the property....canoeing, kayaking, hot tub, or lounging on the screened porch. Lovely hangout! Our boys were hoping to catch some fish in the creek, but because it's seasonal it's not the destination for anyone counting on catching fish...but there are plenty of fishing spots nearby. Property is within 5 minutes of Wimberley square, Blue Hole, and Jacob's well! House is well stocked and very comfortable. Highly recommend!

We’d love to host you and your family again!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re thrilled to hear you found everything clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and that you enjoyed the hot tub and amenities. We appreciate your understanding about the water situation, Texas weather can definitely keep us on our toes! We’re glad it didn’t take away from your stay, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime.
Great property. The swimming was great on Lone Man Creek. The concrete patio on the water was great access. The bottom of the creek near the patio was solid river rock bed. Almost like someone swept the mud and muck away, which was fantastic. The house was great especially the view of the creek and limestone canyons. 5 acres of property with vast amounts of shade provided the privacy me and my young family require. We went here because we love going to Wimberley Blue Hole, AKA, the greatest fresh water swimming hole in Texas. My only problem with the place is I couldn’t rent another night because it was already booked!

Thank you so much for such an amazing and detailed review! We’re thrilled that you and your family enjoyed swimming in Lone Man Creek, the easy water access, and the beautiful limestone canyon views. It sounds like you really took advantage of the privacy and shade the 5 acres provide, which is exactly what makes the property so special for families. We especially love hearing that you enjoyed the creek’s natural river rock bed and the concrete patio, it’s wonderful to know those details made your stay even better. And we completely understand your one complaint about not being able to add another night! Hopefully next time you’ll be able to book that extra night before someone else does. We’d love to welcome you and your family back!

Great house and location. It would have been better if there was water in the river and if we could have used the firepit.

Thank you for your review! We're so glad you enjoyed the house and its location. We totally understand the disappointment about the river and the firepit, burn bans are something we cannot control, unfortunately. We hope you’ll visit again when conditions are just right so you can enjoy everything the property has to offer. We'd love to host you again!
This is a lovely and peaceful property. No water due to drought but this made no difference at all - still absolutely beautiful. Host was responsive and helpful. We will be back!

Although we could not use fire place, fire pitt, nor canoes because of drought and burn ban we still loved our time there. Only problem ,which was handled swiftly was when water shut off while I was washing my hair.

Check in to the property was very easy. The home was very clean as well. The screened in porch was the hit of the stay as well as the amazing water view and fishing. Wonderful and relaxing stay.

Perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature. The house was large and accommodating for our party of 6. We loved sitting in the screened porch and outdoors, on the patio overlooking the water.
