Miller's Dream on the Blanco

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Welcome to Miller's Dream on the Blanco!

This beautiful family home sits on a peaceful 1.3 acres with 100+ feet of private river frontage. Stone stairs make for easy entry into the clear, cool, spring-fed water that is deep year-round, even in the hot summer months when the Blanco can dry up elsewhere.

Start your morning with breakfast on the back patio, watching the deer and taking in the view of the meadow going down to the river. Or, have coffee in a rocking chair on the long front porch, listening to the birds in the oak trees. Enjoy the day relaxing or playing in the water, head to town to shop, or explore the nearby towns. Cook and have dinner on the patio, then end your nights around the firepit under the big Hill Country sky, full of stars.

Whether you’re coming for a quick weekend getaway or staying much longer, there’s nothing like a peaceful stay at Miller's Dream on the Blanco.

What’s nearby:
Miller's Dream on the Blanco, you’ll have access to one of the best swimming spots on the Blanco, but you’re also a quick drive to both Jacob’s Well and Blue Hole Regional Park.

You're also 10 minutes from HEB (Texas’ most beloved grocery stores) and 12 minutes from Wimberley town square, which is full of great shops (antiques, boutiques, eclectic art galleries) and some excellent restaurants. If you're feeling adventurous, head to Wimberley Zipline Adventures. And of course, being in the Texas Hill Country, you're not far from numerous wineries, breweries, and distilleries.

This property was absolutely breathtaking. The river was so fun to swim and fish in and the kiddos had a blast. I went with 6 adults and it felt like we could've had even more people join us. The house is roomy. And relaxing on all the hammocks was so nice. We'll definitely be booking this one again. Ooh I also LOVED seeing the deer and fireflies!

Careful on the hammocks. I face planted straight to the cement trying to get off of it. I’m actually quite banged up. Could probably use easing up on the tension of that thing. But this place is literally a dream. Everyone enjoyed the home and all the extras. The toys were a huge hit. And we loved the board games available as well. Upon arrival, took a moment to open the door. Think the code was set in the middle. Was denying me after a few numbers. Holding the main button a few seconds reset it and it accepted the entire pin. I initially text Vacasa and they were so quick to reply. The river was nice and chilly. And the patio spaces were so relaxing to watch the gorgeous sunsets. We fell in love with this place.

Great home on the Blanco

The home was fantastic. Roomy, well stocked kitchen and good places to be together as a family. The bunk room was great for the kids. The outdoor space was fantastic. Fire pit, grill, big front and back deck. The river access was also great. There was plenty of water in the Blanco to cool off. It was maybe 3 foot deep right by the river stairs. There were also some cool rock formations to explore close by, but unfortunately the weather did not cooperate.

Graduation Trip

Stayed here for a couple of nights for our daughter’s graduation at Texas State. It was a peaceful property that is well kept. Enjoyed walking down to the river and even caught a bass! The deer came and visited in the morning an evening. All in all it was a great place to stay and would definitely go back.

Perfect house to stay with kids. Fished the river at the access point on the property, and cooked smores in the fire pit. House is 10 min from everywhere in Wimberley, perfect distance to be close but crowded in town.

River Escape

We stayed here with our three young kids and enjoyed the quiet escape. The house is well stocked and appointed which allowed for comfort and ease as we cooked all meals in house. We swam in the river and ran around the yard and enjoyed stargazing at night around the fire pit. We would gladly book again and appreciate the hosts opening up their home. The beds are comfortable, house and porches are clean, good air flow, quiet surroundings and a perfect riverside retreat.

Blanco River Trip

This is a beautiful home in such a relaxing and peaceful setting. Our teenage grandsons had the river to themselves and loved it. We loved sitting on the patio and enjoying the huge back yard that leads to the river. The deer just strolled through the yard as they stopped to look at us. It’s just outside of Wimberly so it’s close enough to restaurants and shopping etc.

This house is great- we had 3 couples, so everyone had a bedroom and plenty of space! (Only issues were a kinda broken shower faucet, & a faulty coffee pot) Loved the backyard view, & we had deer visitors every evening Would recommend, & would go again😊

Peaceful retreat

Was coming to town for a wedding and wanted more space than a hotel for my family of 6 plus my mom. This house did not disappoint it was beautiful, had everything we needed and then some. Even plenty of toys for the kids that was a nice bonus! Nobody wanted to leave. On our last evening we got to use the grill and have a nice meal together on this beautiful property. Water was too cold for us to do any swimming with our little ones but this place sure would be nice in the summer months! We absolutely loved the view and the trees and the hammocks and rocking chairs and watching the deer! What beautiful country. Thank you for providing such a great place for a big family to stay!

Wonderful Getaway

Very clean and kid ready. Hazard free for our baby, plenty of toys, and a high chair. Great house and scenery and access to the river. Plenty of pillows, towels, toiletries, and various basic pantry needs. TV and internet were slow, so don’t expect to bring your Xbox or watch playoffs. We would love to stay again during the summer and spend some more time in the river right by the house. Would definitely call again, and our host was easy to reach if we needed anything, but the house was robustly supplied. 5 stars overall!

This property is at the top of our list of places we have stayed in the Hill Country. Even after encountering a problem with AC at checkin, It was all handled so quickly and without any issues. The house and property were even better than the photo's If you looking for a relaxing place just outside of Wimberly, don't hesitate to book here. Can't wait to come back and enjoy the river.

Beautiful house - river site not ideal for small kids

The house, front yard, back yard, porches, and fire pit are wonderful. The house was perfect for a ladies + kiddos getaway with myself, my sister, my cousin and our four toddlers. There was a great toy box for the kiddos, the double bunk beds were fun for them, and the kitchen was really well stocked. So the house is very kiddo friendly... except that the house's stairs leading down to the river end in deep water with no "beach" area. There's a nearby beach area that was pretty good for the kids, except the house's instructions warn that you're trespassing if you access that spot. (We used it anyways...) Also, it would have been good to know ahead of time that the house is on well water and we should have brought our own drinking water.

Extraordinary Gem on the Blanco

First of all, it was exceptionally clean. They need to pay their cleaning lady well! She even cleaned the grill and left an unopened dish scrubber for me to do the dishes with (which I have NEVER seen at any VRBO house before). There were tons of towels and hooks on the walls to organize things and let swimsuits dry. The toy area was incredibly handy for our toddler and 4 yr old. Also they have literally any accessory one could need for small children: playpen, baby gate, stroller etc. It is a wonderful place on the river to swim or set up in the rapids and chill. The only drawback for me, (and it’s a pretty big one seeing as if it was noted in the description - I missed it) was that there is NO ice maker. ***If you need ice for coolers or drinks be prepared to pack some from town*** And the grassburrs in the yard on the way down to the river were horrendous. Definitely needs to be fertilized and mowed regularly to combat those. They were awful picking them out of kids legs and towels and even the bathroom rugs from the renters before us. HOWEVER all around it is an amazing property and we would 100% absolutely rent again! You won’t regret it :)

We had a great stay. This house has it all. The views, river, those little things you forgot or didn’t think about packing. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need for cooking and even stuff for leftovers. There is plenty of room and lots of beds. We didn’t have babies but they had plenty of seats, pack and play, just stuff for babies that you need but it takes up so much room. Great seating on the porches. Hammocks, swings, places to hang wet stuff outside. ITS ALL HERE. This was a great stay. We cannot wait to be back!

Not a long term property

Best feature of the house was the kitchen..spacious and well stocked. However there was no closet for master bedroom. Not elderly friendly..6 steps to get into the house. It was suggested we buy water to drink. Internet is very slow and sporadic...very difficult to do business, banking, meetings etc. no network TV for news, weather etc. mail box is not on the property. This property might be OK for a short term stay, but would not recommend it for a long term stay.
