MORE OUTDOOR DETAILS:

Outside, the stunning hill country views from the Texas-sized porch invite you to sit back and savor moments of tranquility, all while observing the local deer and wildlife. A fully fenced yard provides a safe haven for kids to play, while a children's playscape right outside the great room windows ensures entertainment is always at hand. Venture down the concrete path to the rear recreation area, where you can soak up the sun, take a dip in the 40' x 15.5' pool, unwind in the hot tub, or relax on the comfortable outdoor loungers. Challenge your group to games of bocce ball, cornhole, disc golf, or washer toss. Then, as the day winds down, gather under the covered cedar pavilion for snacks, drinks, and quality time. End your day on a sweet note around the fire pit, toasting s'mores as the sky graces you with the magical hues of hill country sunsets.



And finally, with Wimberley being an International Dark Sky community, who could resist experiencing a night of breathtaking views under the stars? The Gathering's Stargazing Stage is a dedicated space where you can immerse yourself in the beauty of the heavens. Whether it's a night of celestial wonder or daytime fun for the kids, this space offers a unique and memorable experience.



Guest Access:

As you enter through the private gate (code provided in check-in info), you'll pass by the Cottage (which could be booked by other guests). The Cottage does not have access to the pool, hot tub, dinking court, or grill unless the whole property is rented.



As you continue down the drive, you'll come upon the pickleball court with shaded viewing area. Disc golf enthusiasts will spot baskets, and you might catch a herd of deer or turkeys at the feeder. Continue down the road until you reach the Party Barn, a hub of entertainment with basketball, ping pong, pickleball dinking court, and a medley of outdoor activities suitable for kids and adults alike.



The moment you step inside the main house, you know you have entered a place where comfort and luxury merge seamlessly. Specifically designed to bring family, friends, and large groups together, it still offers plenty of intimate gathering spots for cozy conversation. High-end furnishings and lavish touches pamper you at every turn, ensuring your stay is nothing short of extraordinary. Sink into plush seating in a living space adorned with soaring ceilings, a grand stone fireplace, and an 85" TV, perfect for game day or movie night. The chef's kitchen, fully equipped with gourmet appliances, inspires culinary adventures, while the wood dining table invites memorable feasts where the entire group can gather together. More magic happens outside, as you whip up some mouthwatering BBQ on the gas grill. Convenience is key with a large ice machine just outside.



The Neighborhood:

The Main House and Cottage are about 1/4 mile from each other. There are mature trees, a large field (for disc golf) and the pickleball court between each home. This helps ensure guests at both homes have plenty of privacy!



Getting Around:

The Gathering is the epitome of luxury, relaxation, and entertainment. You might find it difficult to leave, and with all it has to offer, who could blame you?
