About this property

Cozy and clean loft on the Blanco River - Minutes from downtown Wimberley!

Cozy and clean with country flair, Bandit’s Loft is a lovely affordable space perfect for a rustic retreat. This lovely getaway has a full kitchen complete with dishware and an electric range, and a gorgeous wooden deck providing beautiful sweeping views of hill country and beyond.

The wood-paneled walls and country décor provide an escape from the everyday and allow you to appreciate the simplicity of an older time. Savor a cup of fresh-roasted coffee as you enjoy the sunrise from your deck, then stroll down to the river for some early morning fishing.

It’s important to note that the loft is situated on some of the most gorgeous and exclusive river frontage in all of Wimberley. As most of the property surrounding the river is privately owned, staying at Bandit’s Loft provides a rare opportunity to enjoy some very sought-after Hill Country waterfront! And nothing beats a dip in the clear blue waters of the Blanco River after a full day of summer activities. The gentle current of the Blanco River while relaxing in inner tubes with family and friends.

Quite Space

Nice and quite little space above an unoccupied garage. House is older and floors were not level. The wall units where load and did not cool very well. The house was mostly clean, but landlord had skipped dusting for the month. The waterway was beautiful, but not swimmable. They are currently in a drought and the water was very shallow and warm.

Cute cozy cottage

The cottage was really cute and cozy. Perfect for max two people. Really appreciated the cleanliness and all the amenities. We had everything we needed and enjoyed spending time on the cute front patio. We walked down to the river once but sadly it was bone dry and really grown over. The gazebo and firepit area as well as the general landscape going down to the river is in dire need of attention. Even though we thoroughly enjoyed the cottage and the price was terrific- parking was tight and the other two properties on site are a little too close for comfort.

Recycle

Something’s are meant to be recycled but not paper into toilet paper. So thin you have to use a whole lot more so stick with old school. Take your own.

Cozy, delightful, unique

My girlfriend and I picked this place for access to the blanco river which was a great move with all the main swimming holes in town being reservation only/closed. The blanco is a pretty warm river and not especially full but it was great to sit in and soak up sun. The owner was friendly and welcomed us when we got in. If anything the pictures undersold how much natural light the cabin has during the day which was great. Fair warnings - the floor is a little off-level in some places which can make it feel like gravity is pulling in the wrong direction when walking, but we found this made for a more engaging experience. Also as others have noted the tp is 1-ply. That said there were some un-advertised amenities that were awesome: I think the place has been updated a bit since the pictures were taken, including a nicer bed, and a tasteful bathroom renovation. There’s wifi if you know your way around a router, and the water pressure is great. We loved our stay and will almost certainly come back

Overall stay was good with a couple of exceptions. Access to the river was further away and steeper than anticipated. We were aware of the steps to access the loft, however nothing was said about it being bi-level. There was a five step difference between the kitchen/dining area and the main floor. Definitely not a property that older people with mobility issues should rent. Otherwise, the host met us when we arrived and was very helpful.

The description of the property was not accurate. This unit is at the back of the property owners land and not riverfront. We expected rustic but not dilapidated and run down. The air conditioning units were VERY loud. The kitchen floor felt as though you would fall through it. The kitchen utensils and pots/pans were gross and not usable. The owner had a guy there that was very creepy and made my skin crawl. Once you walked down to the river past the owners home the river was beautiful. We ended up leaving after one night instead of staying the three nights booked. Would recommend that the property management company actually visit the site and put up a proper description of the property.

Cozy, clean, comfortable and friendly

Located on the banks of the Blanco River nestled in the Texas Hill county, the cozy, well furnished little loft is sure to make you smile. The California King sized bed is one of the most comfortable beds I have slept on including my own. ( and I have a purple brand of mattress! ). The property is located just a few scant miles out of Wimberley, Texas where there is something always going on. Arguably the best swimming hole in Texas is located within its city limits. Artist flock to this little town because of its positive vibes. You can't go wrong with this combination.

Wonderful Location!

My husband and I stayed the weekend to celebrate our anniversary. Originally, we were planning to go to the river for a couple of hours and then go into town to shop/sightsee. Once we saw the river access, shopping was out the window! We spent all of Saturday sitting in chairs in the river. It was so beautiful and so peaceful! We saw deer with fawns cross the river and come up right between where we sat and the property! Additionally, the loft is only about 7 minutes to the popular restaurants in town, making it easy to go out to dinner. We would stay here again!
