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.

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.

In love with the Frog Cottage

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.

We had a great stay at this property. Much more spacious than the pictures made it look. Beautiful property, lots of room outside. Kids had a great time swimming in the river and feeding the deer. Loved how it felt isolated but very close to town.

Cute Property

Property was a cute little cabin in Wimberly next to the Blanco River. Perfect size for what we needed; nice and clean. The neighbor is super close and probably the only (very minor) concern when you bring a kiddo with you.

A quick weekend get a way

The property was great, very relaxing and plenty of space. Access to the lake was challenging ... due to the drought the water was very low. I don't know what the "usual" depth of the river is, but it was slow and it didn't flow. So that was disappointing, but it's not the fault of the property owners. I would suggest they add better photos of the river access to give an accurate depection of the river as it normally looks so guests can be prepared for the typical river access. We were not able to easily get in the water without slipping and cutting our feet. I'd just recommend prior to booking to discuss with owner the status of the river near the time of the booking. Otherwise great property! Beautiful grounds as well.

Sweet and Relaxing

Time to catch up on life with friends sitting on deck in the evenings and enjoying the several hang out rooms inside. Large windows make the river seem close. And at night the lightening bugs covered the outside. Close enough to Wimberley to shop and eat a leisurely late lunch. But sitting on the back deck for wine and appetizers and sharing was the best. A storm went through out 2nd night downing leaves and large limbs. The owners cousins stopped by and even blew off the deck so we could sit outside that last evening.

Charming house on the river!

Perfect house to stay in for a visit to Wimberley. Very close to town square but has a secluded feel and is quiet with a beautiful view of the river. We enjoyed watching deer every morning and evening from the deck and generous windows. This house was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with the items needed to cook meals. All of the decor added to the charm of this house we would stay in again without hesitation.
