Wimberley Traveler’s Cottage w/ Firepit & Pickleball

Welcome to Cottage #9 – Travelers at RusTx Ranch, your whimsical home-away-from-home in the scenic heart of Wimberley, TX. Designed with wanderers in mind, this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage is the perfect home base for those who love to explore new places—or simply enjoy a restful escape in a unique setting filled with character and charm.
