About this property

Star House | Private Views • Hill Country Comfort • Grill

Welcome to The Star House, a peaceful Hill Country ranch retreat surrounded by rolling hills, valley views, and private acreage. This quiet and scenic getaway is designed for relaxation, nature, and connection—offering an authentically Hill Country experience where guests can truly unplug. While the home feels secluded and rural, it is conveniently located less than 5 minutes from downtown Wimberley, making it easy to enjoy the town’s charming shops, restaurants, and local attractions. The Star House is also extremely close to popular Wimberley destinations, including the beloved Blue Hole Regional Park, which is just a 5-minute drive away.



The home features two bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, comfortably sleeping four guests. Both bedrooms include king-size beds and private ensuite bathrooms—one with a spacious walk-in shower and the other with a tub and shower combo—making the layout ideal for couples, families, or friends traveling together. An additional half bathroom is conveniently located at the front of the home for shared use.

One of the most cherished features of The Star House is the expansive wrap-around deck, which offers sweeping views of the hills and the valley below. This outdoor living space includes a propane grill, a dining table for al fresco meals, and several places to relax—loungers for sunbathing, comfortable patio seating for morning coffee or evening cocktails, and even a hammock perfect for slow afternoons in the breeze. Wildlife often wanders through the surrounding acreage, and the peaceful environment makes it easy to unwind, stargaze, and enjoy the beauty of the Hill Country.

Inside, natural light fills the open-concept living spaces, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The fully stocked kitchen includes modern appliances and everything needed to cook at home, along with both a drip coffee maker and a Keurig, with coffee, creamers, and sweeteners provided for your stay. Please note that the indoor fireplace is not available for guest use. A detailed welcome book is available inside the home, offering curated local guides to wineries, distilleries, restaurants, nature trails, swimming holes, shops, and the unique culture that makes Wimberley and the Hill Country so special.

For added comfort and peace of mind, The Star House is equipped with smart-lock entry, well-lit exterior areas, active smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and a fully stocked first-aid kit. The home is professionally cleaned before every arrival to ensure a pristine experience, and 24/7 guest support is available should you need assistance during your stay.

Whether you’re seeking a quiet weekend in nature, a home base for exploring wineries and trails, or a serene retreat under the Hill Country sky, The Star House offers a perfect blend of scenic beauty, comfortable living, and authentic Hill Country charm—all within minutes of Wimberley’s most iconic destinations. Book your stay at The Star House today and experience the tranquility, views, and warmth of this private ranch getaway.

My husband and I along with our cousin and his wife stayed here for 3 nights. What a beautiful place. One of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. So clean and welcoming. And, the wrap around back porch was the perfect place to have our morning coffee. The view was awe inspiring. This place is the perfect spot to visit not only Wimberly, but all the surrounding areas planned in our trip. We ate dinner at the Creekhouse in downtown Wimberly, drove to Gruene the next day and ate at the famous Gristmill. Yum! Rode the glass-bottom boats in San Marcus and ate barbeque at the Salt Lick in Driftwood. This house is centrally located for all and a warm and cozy place to come home to. Thank you for the wonderful stay in this beautiful place. Highly recommend!!!! Sincerely, Karen and James

Star House is the star of our second stay there within a few years. It is everything we could ask for in a Wimberley rental. It's beautiful, easy to access from the street, very private, and a lot of space to enjoy the feeling of being in the country and out of the big city for several days. It was a wonderful recharge! Brian Jones was our host and he was very nice and easy to communicate with whenever we had a question.

Lovely home, beautiful views and very peaceful.

Really enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck outside. Check in was easy and the owner always checked to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. Would definitely stay here again!

30th Birthday Stay

A group of friends and I stayed here for a weekend getaway for a 30th birthday. It's super close to town and to Blue Hole, but still secluded enough to where you're not surrounded by others. We enjoyed sitting on the deck at night, enjoying the breeze and looking at the sky. If you're looking for a quiet place still within proximity of things to do, this is a great option.
