About this property

Great Escape - Riverfront Wimberley Retreat with Pool, Hot Tub & Game Room

Situated on 3 private acres, this spacious 3,300-square-foot home is surrounded by towering cypress trees, abundant wildlife, and some of the most desirable river frontage in Wimberley. The crystal-clear, rock-bottom Blanco River flows year-round and is typically calm and shallow, making it an ideal spot for children to splash, explore, and create unforgettable memories.

Inside, the home is bright, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed for gathering. Large windows frame picturesque river views throughout the main living areas, creating a seamless connection between the indoors and outdoors. The fully equipped kitchen features granite countertops, updated tile flooring, and everything needed to prepare meals for the entire group.

The home comfortably accommodates large families and groups with five bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite upstairs and a convenient first-floor bedroom with a queen bed. One of the property's most unique features is the detached game room and guest retreat overlooking the river. Complete with an 8-foot pool table, foosball table, kitchenette, full bathroom, additional sleeping accommodations, and a large 250-square-foot deck, it's the perfect place for friendly competition, morning coffee, or sunset cocktails above the water.

Outside, you'll find endless opportunities to relax and enjoy the Hill Country lifestyle. Spend your days lounging by the fenced swimming pool, soaking in the oversized hot tub, or enjoying outdoor meals beneath the charming gazebo. Bring a chair down to the river, relax beneath the shade of the cypress trees, and listen to the gentle flow of the water as deer wander through the property.

When you're ready to explore, downtown Wimberley is less than five minutes away and offers boutique shopping, art galleries, wineries, breweries, excellent dining, live music, seasonal festivals, and the beloved outdoor movie theater. Whether you're seeking a peaceful riverside getaway or a fun-filled family vacation, this exceptional Blanco River retreat offers an unforgettable Hill Country experience.

We were a group of 16 and the house was overall very comfortable. We had to childproof the stairs for the 1.5 YO with a baby gate but otherwise the house had most everything that we needed. I have rented this property multiple times and we would stay here 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!!
