About this property

Blanco River water front, Family & Pet friendly, Free WiFi, Contactless check-in

Rio Casita (Little River House) is located in the middle of a beautifully wooded acre of land on the pristine Blanco River. The clear, cool, spring fed river is ideal for kicking back, relaxing, and enjoying nature. Drive the short three miles along River Road that flanks the Blanco into Wimberley, and take a shopping spree through some of the most unique shops you will see anywhere.

This is a very romantic spot with plenty of privacy. The kids and pets will love it also. Walk down the easy sloping hill from your back porch and directly into the river. Great swimming and wading and a superior place to enjoy an ice cold adult beverage. It's all here, come and see!

After fun in the sun and the river, head back to the house to enjoy all the ammenities: outdoor grill, great backporch for hanging out, gourmet kitchen - everything you need, except the food. When the sun sets the fire flys appear.

This is the third time I have stayed here, and it did not disappoint. The house is very nice and has everything you need. The section of the river is quiet and peaceful. I have fly fished here each time and the river is easily walkable. The host is the best. One time we had an issue with the fridge, and she immediately took care of the issue. This time we had a conflict come up with our original booking date and she was easy to work with to move our stay to a different weekend. Highly recommend a stay here!

We had an excellent time at this property. The house was spacious and clean. Had everything we needed for the family to spend time together. Would have been nice if there had been more water in the river, but nothing the property owner can do about that. Would definitely stay here again if the opportunity presents itself.

I am glad you enjoyed Rio Casita...it is one of my favorite places to spend down time. The Blanco River is receiving some much needed rain in the past 2 weeks with more to come. We hope for all of our streams to have more water for the summer season coming up. Thank you, Connie

This is a wonderful rental close to town - very homey and comfortable. The yard and river access are phenomenal! We brought our dog and she just loved running around. Only down side was slow internet and Verizon cellular signal was poor. Regardless, would stay here again. 5 stars!

Excellent property! We brought our two big dogs and it was perfect. There was a great size fenced in backyard for them and they enjoyed going down to the river with us. Beautiful area and the house was great. Very clean and had everything we needed. We brought our 15 month old and there was plenty of room for her crib in one of the guest rooms. We’d definitely go back if we ever visited the area again!

Everything was great. Only problem was even though we connected to the WiFi. We had zero internet service. But the house and everything was wonderful. Will definitely go again.Also, the outside area was really nice, but not recently cleaned. Everything was really dusty. We had to wipe down and chairs were just kind of thrown around, but it was definitely a beautiful setting.

We love this peaceful, lovely property so much. Some of my favorite experiences with nature have happened here the past two years. The only things I'd suggest are a more comfortable couch and more puzzles/games available (for when we're not outside). One of the bedside lamps was not functioning, but that's a minor detail. Hope to visit again many more times.

About the host

Hosted by Connie

Host profile image
My husband and I fell in love with Wimberley. When we found Rio Casita, we just had to purchase it. We love being there and use it as a family get away. We love the quietness, the wild life and the easy pace that this place offers. We are very happy that we can share all of that with you.

Why they chose this property

We love being on the water and the Blanco is just right for us and our dogs. Our golden retriever thinks he is in Heaven when he is there.

What makes this property unique

Relax, relax, relax...pull a chair out into the middle of the river; read; walk; listen to nature or just sit on the back porch. A unique place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. However, if you demand a little more activity in your life, the Village of Wimberley is just 2 miles down the road.
