The Vagabond was a clean, comfortable house in a very quiet location. It was the perfect place for us to relax and for me to recover from a medical infusion that gives me severe fatigue. Due to it's location there was an abundance of wildlife including several deer that would visit daily.The bed was quite comfortable and we enjoyed the while experience. Would highly recommend.

We enjoyed the location. It was close to the square and we got to see a lot of deer. The host left corn for us to feed them. We thought it was more secluded when we saw the listing but the deer made up for it. The river was just down the hill and we had private access to that area. The floor and counter tops were a bit dirty and sticky though upon arrival. Some of the sheets had specks of dirt on them but not enough to need washing. Just a quick brush. A few utensils and pans had food residue but a quick wash alleviated that.

The house is a quiet little retreat! It’s relaxing with all the amenities of home. We loved the porch to just enjoy the early morning or the evening breeze.

River fun

The house was cozy and clean! We loved the river, private area for neighborhood only. The swimming was awesome and spots to also put your chair and relax. We also loved how close we were to the shops. We had to drive to all areas but still very close.

Last hooray with Nana before school starts back. Blanco river in this area is always refreshing with deep water access. The Vagabond, although not directly on river, was conveniently located and thoroughly stocked.

Weekend getaway

Perfect getaway for a celebratory anniversary. Quiet neighborhood. Scenic. Severe thunderstorm on our first night stay and power went out but came back up in about 20 minutes. Impressive l, better than our own home in turn around time when there’s power outages.

The house was the perfect pivot point for visiting with all our deep rooted friends in the Austin/ San Marcus/Wimberley areas. Beds & linens super nice! Deer are way too friendly! We had a fire in the evening. Great open floor plan. We will be back

Loved the property and home. The property was beautifully rustic and the deer were amazing. Such a quiet neighborhood. But definitely not Waterfront as the description says. We do have access to the parks but it is a minimum of a 5-minute drive and a 10 to 15 minute walk depending on your pace. My husband caught quite a few fish and loved the river. Wimberly is an amazing town with so many great options for food, shopping, and fun. The home was darling. Very spacious, very eclectic decor, and well stocked for its guests. We loved the fireplace and everything was so cozy and comfortable.

We’re so glad you enjoyed fishing, exploring Wimberley, and all the nearby amenities. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Great place

The place is actually more comfy than the picture showed. Spacious, clean and quiet. I like the taste of host-art work, fabrics colors, lamps and so on- all creat a relaxing feel. 15 mins walk/3 mins drive to the river which only available to local residents. Great privacy to enjoy the summer. We will come back again.

Our fav spot!!

This is our favorite vacation spot and house. Back again and we stay here every chance we get. The deer got a whole bag of corn and extra munchies this time also. Always a wonderful time on the river and at the house chillIng and relaxing. My son said he’s only staying here and no where else. Thanks!

Perfect spot for Re-Energizing your life!

We loved the deer in the neighborhood, they would come right up to you and take fruit or vegetables right out of your hand! The house was clean the bed was comfortable and it was a peaceful quiet place to relax and unwind from the daily grind! The two river parks were wonderful especially the river road park, the water was clear and we just floated to nowhere!!!

Beautiful getaway

My husband and two sons and I had so much fun here! The house is nice had everything we needed. It was clean. Beds were comfortable. Porch was nice to sit out and relax and watch the deer. The water access points, you do need to drive to them but it is only a couple of minute drive and the water is so pretty. That is all my kids wanted to do, we didn’t really need to leave the neighborhood to do anything else. We really loved it here and would definitely come back!
