Just what we needed for our 25th anniversary.

Quiet and relaxing for a couples getaway, but spacious enough for a family or small friend group. Close to a thriving downtown area as well driving distance to several other towns.

Great place to stay

We loved staying here! The property was beautiful and the river was just a short walk away. You feel like you are out in nature, but are so close to the town square. It is the perfect mix of privacy and being around everything. There is a property close to it, but when we stayed there the other place was empty.

We love Frog Cottage!

The nearby road is very noisy but you can tone it out after a little while. This property is wonderfully set up and very relaxing. My only recommendation would be that the exterior of the house needs a deep clean.

So relaxing

Beautiful property. It was a girls trip and we enjoyed sitting on the porch and enjoying the peace. The river had an easy entry point, and the house was larger than expected. There is some slight freeway noise, but only if you were listening for it and the kitchen is small, but we didn't want to cook so it was fine for us. We are already planning on coming back.

Cozy cottage with a beautiful view of river

We had a wonderful stay at this adorable and cozy cottage. It was perfect for our girls’ weekend. The view of the river was beautiful. It was very close to the Wimberly town center. We saw a fox and lots of deer in the yard and river! The only issue we had was the wrong entry code upon arrival. I called the management office, and they quickly fixed the problem, setting a new code remotely.

We enjoyed our stay! Great proximity to downtown Wimberley for shopping and dining. Loved seeing multiple deer in the yard daily. Very private feeling down a small one lane road. The house was charming and nice decor. Had an oops where one of our guests left their phone on their charger inside and it was just after 10am and the door code stops working promptly at that time on checkout day. We called the main line in listing and got help very quickly with a temporary door code to be let back in. Cons: The house needs some love and cleaning on the inside, 3 spiders with webs living in one of the bathrooms (it is October but I don’t think they were decor). One bathroom has issues with water leaking and damaging the baseboard. In the kitchen the ceiling along the fireplace looks as if there’s mold or a water leak developing. Caulk is peeling off the wood beams in living room. Kitchen drawers were dirty and disorganized. Road noise from bridge can be loud when outside during peak times like enjoying a morning coffee on the deck. The ice maker/water on the fridge doesn’t work and there’s a magnet on it stating so. Would’ve been helpful to know ahead of time, but we bought a bag of ice at the Brookshire Brothers once we got there. Obviously out of their control but know that with drought conditions and fire risk no fire pit use outside although with the above averages of 90F this October we wouldn’t have used it anyway.
Spotted this gentleman out the living room window one evening

Very disappointed in the property. It was not well maintained at all. There were spider webs everywhere and we found a brown recluse in the sink. There were weeds coming up through the patio, the vents had rust on them, and some of the vents were caving in on the floor. The showers had mold in them, the icemaker didn’t work, the TV in the master bedroom didn’t work as well. I would not stay here again and would not recommend staying here with kids for sure. We left a day early because we did not want our 8 mo old to get bit by a poisonous spider.
Rusted vents not even fastened down to floor.
Spider smashed by sink and cracks around sink.
Another spider and web in corner
Filthy baseboards and floors

Lovely long weekend on the river, just outside of town making trips in for market runs etc. a breeze. Felt very secluded on the property grounds with expansive lawn down to the river. Location on the river provided a place for shallow wading as well as deeper swimming holes. Bridge into town is adjacent to property so there is a steady stream of traffic in the background while floating/ fishing. The home itself is lovely and perfect size for 6 guests if you have kids that don't all mind sharing room.

A perfect place to stay! Comfortable inside & out. Close to town and very quiet. Right on the river. Even though it’s the middle of a drought and the river is down to just pools, it’s so relaxing to see the animals that come to drink.
