Relaxation awaits you. Open spaces throughout! The Blanco River welcomes you.
Retama is located right on the gorgeous, crystal clear waters of the Blanco River not far from the Wimberley Town Square. With 300 feet of stunning river frontage right out your back door this newly-remodeled home is an ideal, peaceful getaway from the big city. Huge oak trees welcome you to the Hill Country with branches like open arms. Beautiful, lush St. Augustine grass covers the entire property and invites you to grab your picnic blanket and a great book. Relax and let life pass you by while you read that long awaited novel on the banks of the tranquil river.
As you enter the home a wall of beautiful eight foot doors beckon you to come in and enjoy the quiet and stillness of the Hill Country. A large spacious living room, designed for families to gather and enjoy the roaring wood burning fireplace, is open to the wonderful gourmet kitchen with upscale granite countertops and shiny stainless steel appliances. Guests will enjoy dinner served at the large dining table which can seat ten guests comfortably. Overflow guests can be seated at the kitchen island which is equipped with four bar stools or at the bar area where there are an additional four high bar chairs.
Four beautiful bedrooms decorated in subdued, relaxing tones coax guests to enjoy a quiet night’s sleep and get ready for the day ahead. Sink into the inviting king bed or twin bed in the first bedroom. The second bedroom has three twin beds- perfect the little ones! In the third bedroom guests will enjoy another wonderfully tempting king bed. The huge master suite is a great haven that provides guests with a third king bed, a twin and a cozy sitting area with an additional sink.
If you have guests that enjoy a little competition there is a game room equipped with a regulation pool table and seating for spectators awaiting their turn.
For those who just can’t leave work behind or perhaps just have to stay in touch with the outside world the home is equipped with Wi-Fi. The flat screen television is perfect for your favorite movie featuring HDTV and Bluray with a surround sound system that will blow you away.
The outdoors are so alluring the kids won’t give their video games a second thought. They’ll love playing on the large, grassy lawn while mom or dad snooze in the hammock strung between the enormous oaks. When it’s time to cool off kids and adults can enjoy the river with its shallow and deep areas.
This roomy home is also great for brides-to-be and their bridal parties. The master suite is equipped with a huge three-way mirror, so the bride can ensure that she looks perfect from head to toe! And, the well-lit vanity in the sitting area is great for those wedding day makeovers. Imagine getting ready for your special day with the soundtrack of the Blanco River to ease your stress and provide a relaxing environment for you and your friends.

The house and property were great and we loved the easy river access. The only complaint is they advertise 3 king beds and twin room but one of the king rooms is actually a queen bed.

Thank you for your feedback, Ali! We're glad you enjoyed the house and the easy river access. We appreciate you bringing the bed configuration to our attention, and we'll review the listing to ensure it's accurate. Thank you for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back soon!
The house is beautiful, nice and open. The place was not very clean though and many things broken upon arrival, bar stool, pool table equipment, half pieces of kitchen appliances, etc. Just not very well kept. Lots of little bugs behind the twin in the queen room. Lots of dust and hair in the second bathroom shower curtain. Looks like outside hand rails down to the river was broken, one bedroom had a queen vs. the king listed. I would stay again but would def. recommend it to be better cleaned and kept. Stunning scenery, lots of deer and great location close to downtown shops. I took pictures of the unclean areas, can send them privately if needed.

We loved staying at this house. The house was comfortable and well equipped. The views and river access were terrific. And a quick 5 minutes to Wimberley Square. Would rent again.

Thank you for you wonderful comments! We are glad you enjoyed your stay!
We stayed here with grandparents, our family of 4 (with 2 kids under 5) and my sister's family of 4 ( also 2 kis under 5) and it was perfect. The house, yard, and river are actually far bigger and lovelier than the photos suggest. Easy river access. We had a great time in late June.

We hope you visit again real soon.
We absolutely loved this property! The views & windows were amazing; we loved sitting outside in the mornings to drink coffee. The house was very spacious, we had 8 people staying & everyone agreed their bed was super comfortable. It was about a 5 minute drive to downtown which was super convenient. I'm already planning a trip back during the summer time to enjoy the river with kids.
We loved this property and would rent it again. The kitchen rocked - it was roomy enough for several cooks and the best stocked of any VRBO house we’ve rented. My grandchildren loved having so much room to roam and loved playing in the river. None of us were ready to leave.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your grandchildren enjoyed the property and found the kitchen to be a standout feature. It's great to know that the space was perfect for multiple cooks and that everyone had plenty of room to roam and have fun in the river.
We're so glad you had such a memorable stay and would love to welcome you back anytime.
This was our best vacation rental ever. The house was updated, beautiful and well equipped for visitors. The water was up on the Blanco so we enjoyed hours of river time. Lovely yard, front and back and large kitchen and entertainment area was perfect for our extended family of 11.

Beautiful house
This house is amazing and we had a great time. We had four families sharing it and there was plenty of room and were plenty of linens for everyone. The kids had a blast playing in the river and we cooked some delicious meals over the huge fire pit. We hope to make it a tradition and stay at this home regularly in the future!

Great place!
Perfect property for what we needed. Very clean and comfortable all around. Great spot on the river. Beds were very comfortable. Nice charcoal Weber grill and good outdoor seating provided. Hot water heater to bathrooms had initial smell issue from lack of use..but it worked itself out. Would recommend this property.

Several of us were in Wimberley for a wedding and loved our stay here. The house was very comfortable and the view of the cliffs from the living room was stunning.
The river access was great. We spent a few hours sitting in the water and enjoying the sights. Despite being in the middle of summer, the breeze in the evening made it reasonable to sit outside, which was nice.
Communication with the property management group was great.
Would highly recommend this rental!

Thank you for your review. You were a delight to host. You are welcome back anytime, we hope to see you again soon!
Everything about this trip was perfect, the family loved everything about our stay. Which by the way made me look good for picking this vacation spot? The home was well maintained, roomy, and inviting, the river in the back yard was just right for our group. I can’t say one negative thing about this property, if it ever goes up for sale, I'll be the first in line to buy it. The owners have a real gem, thank you for letting us have it for a while. We really did enjoy it.

Thank you for your fantastic review! We love hearing that guests love their stays! We hope to host you again :-)
We've been doing this annual guy strip for 11 years now. This place was amazing. Mostly private. River view was amazing and just beautiful clear water.
Bedding was comfortable and the pool table a real bonus. I don't see this listing on VRBO anymore, so I hope they haven't removed the listing. We will stay here again if available.
