About this property

Darling cottage on the Blanco River. Minutes from downtown Wimberley!

Nestled on a beautiful sprawling plot of land right on the banks of the Blanco River, Rosey’s Cottage is a cozy getaway designed for two guests who are looking for an inviting country escape that is affordable yet relaxing. Rosey’s Cottage is a welcoming free-standing bungalow situated just behind the owner’s main house. It comes complete with kitchenette, king-sized bed and a plush sitting area making it the perfect spot for a casual and romantic weekend retreat.

After an evening meal cooked out in your Charcoal BBQ pit, snuggle up on the couch and enjoy a romantic movie with your loved one. In the morning, enjoy the sunrise and perhaps some bird-watching as you take in the natural beauty of the sprawling hills.

Though ample amenities and activities abound, nothing can compare with the hours of enjoyment spent down by the crystal clear waters of the Blanco River. With full access to some of the most sought after river frontage in Wimberley, you’ll take pleasure in swimming, wading, fishing and floating down the beautiful waters. The character and charm of this rustic hideaway combined with the unique river access will keep you returning to Hill Country for years to come.

A quiet getaway

The owner, Ms. Joyce is so sweet and accommodating. This little cottage is in her backyard which unfortunately means her house is between you and any view of the river. There’s a small area outside the cottage door with a table and 2 chairs where you can have your morning coffee etc. there’s a fence beside it that’s long enough to give you some privacy from the main house. The inside is nice with a comfortable king bed and 2 comfortable chairs. The bathroom appears to have been recently updated which is nice. There’s a small kitchenette with 2 barstools for eating at the counter, a small microwave and a small fridge. There’s no microwaveable dishes so you’ll need paper plates, also you’ll need paper towels. It’s a short drive to town but you do have to open and close the gate each time you leave and return. Our stay was a nice getaway for us. We just wished we had a patio with a view. Other than that it was nice and a pleasure to meet Ms. Joyce.

Quite country retreat

Quite stay but close enough town. Not on the river like assumed in pictures but close enough to walk to and enjoy. Owners were on the property but were never outside during our stay. Decorations are mismatched and not like the pictures but still a cozy and comfortable stay. Would recommend.

Cozy Cottage was having electrical problems, so the owner of the property offered us a second loft apartment on the same property. The leasing agent let us know a few hours before check in so we had time to decide if we wanted to do that or change to a totally different place. We decided to stay rather than change. The owner and her daughter greeted us when we arrived that evening and were very nice. The place is an older garage apartment. The outside needs a little care, but the inside, although older, is nice and very neat and clean. The main bed is comfortable, and the bathroom looked recently renovated. Down some stairs is a complete functioning kitchen. There is a nice walk down to the river behind the main house.

Pow Wow Trip

I had the best experience staying in this cottage. It is tiny, I was alone and it wasn’t big enough, but a couple who share a bed would have just enough space too! It was very clean, very well decorated and I felt safe and comfortable throughout my stay. There is rover access behind the main house and the table and chairs and fire pit were perfect! I would stay here again with it hesitation.

This property is the perfect place for a couple to get away. Not too far from essentials such as grocery store and fun but far enough away fro main roads that your stay is not interrupted by traffic and noise from neighbors. We had a great time and were able relax

Cottage in Wimberley on Blanco

We were in Wimberley for the weekend to visit our daughter so we didn’t spend a lot of time at the location. It’s not fancy but the bed was good, bathroom was nice size (walk-in shower, no tub, but we were fine with that), air conditioner was maybe a little loud but it worked. Small kitchen but all we used was the mini fridge and sink. Finding the drive to the cottage was a little tricky and the link sent was helpful. Gates are necessary in Texas so just be aware that there is an open/close process.

Not Creek Side

The cottage was very clean and nicely decorated. The property grounds are in need of extensive maintenance. The cabin is not creek side as you can not see any creek unless you go around the residence home.

Rode in for the Houston area for a hill country ride over weekend. Very nice cozy cottage for couples. Only two issue's, one was the location of the TV. Second, cheapest toilet paper I’ve ever used. Bring your own. Other than that. We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect cottage for anniversary weekend

The cottage was clean, and the bed was comfortable. Joyce, the property owner, was friendly and accommodating. The pretty clear running river was just out back of the cottage and was ideal for wading. Beautiful scenery along the river. This did not bother us, but there is no internet service provided with the cottage.
