Wimberley, Texas
In May you may be lucky to spot beautiful pink roses growing on the dam - out of the reach of hungry deer. One day an elderly woman greeted my friend at the creek, explaining that she had grown up there, swimming and playing on hot summer days, long before any of us discovered this paradise. She explained that her father had planted those roses, some ninety years previous, in the perfect spot apparently as they are thriving there today. We named this special place after her and her daddy's roses, so named The River Rose Retreat, where you and yours can drink in the unique and restorative smells, sounds, and eye candy, the absolute best of the Texas hill country.
This beautifully hand designed property depicts why we all love the Texas hill country. Multi leveled decks, porches a plenty and paths/benches/walls that are intricately hand lain with local rocks. Its such a delight to explore this unique property.
This property is dog friendly. So bring along your WHOLE family on your next vacation! We have a $100 pet fee.
The kitchen is fully stocked with absolutely anything you need to prepare your meals away from home. A private BBQ pit is available at each house. The open concept kitchen/dining/living room has wrap around large windows that provide a beautiful view of the sky and creek even when indoors.
There is a small sitting pool(not heated) behind the main house. This pool is exclusively for treetop house use. The pool has a lovely deck that overlooks the creek and horizon. The deck has tables and chairs to accommodate your whole party. Even though hot tub is listed as an amenity, we do not have one. VRBO can not figure out how to remove it.
The seasonal creek access is just a short walk out the back door. The path is constructed in conjunction with the natural landscape, so care should be taken when walking down to the creek. We have creek access and a private dammed off swimming hole.
This home has a back deck, a screened in porch in the front, a front seating area, a private balcony upstairs and a sitting area around the pool. There are so many ways to enjoy nature with your loved ones together or in private.
Both bedrooms have king beds. One of the king beds is convertible to two twin beds if this better suits your needs. There are also two high quality queen size couch beds. This home has 2 full bathrooms and a half bath. The base price is for 4 people and extra guests up to 8 are 25 per day to accommodate the extra cleaning of towels and linens.
This property has 2 houses, an apartment, separate bunk house add on with bed and mini fridge only available for rent. This listing is for the larger home which sleeps 8. You could fit up to 15 people with privacy for all the couples if the rent the whole property.
We do have three rentals on the property. They all have their own privacy and outdoor sitting areas. They are lined along the waterway so all have creek views. We do not allow fishing of any kind not even catch and release.

As mentioned beautiful with a lovely creek running right below the house and Billy Joel lived right down the street!! We LOVED our stay there and so did our dog!!
Couldn’t say better things about our stay and already looking to go back and rent again in the future! 10/10 without a doubt. Had a wonderful time & it’s a beautiful property.
We really enjoyed this artsy little house. So much character and a great place to get some peace and quiet for the weekend. The house was clean, but it is an older home, so not clean in the sense of a modern pristine home. Really appreciated the reverse osmosis water filter for drinking and cooking. The cocktail pool was a great spot and spent most our time out there, plus a side trip to Perdanales Falls for an adventure and some swimming (45 min away). There are other rentals on the property which turned out to be nice with a neighbor dog for ours to play with. The one disappointment was the swimming hole which is what attracted us to this property. We were prepared to throw some tubes in there and hang out and play all day. But turns out the water was low and full of algae. Even our dog didn't want to go in it. I asked them if there was water in the hole before renting and they replied yes, but I should have asked if there is water clean enough to swim in. Oh well. Still no regrets staying at this. property.
We were in town for only two nights to attend a wedding so we didn't get much time at the property. However, the time we spent was very relaxing and enjoyable. The house is eclectic and fun and the views are great! I definitely would stay here again, only thing I'd do different is stay a few days longer!
Lovely property. Enjoyed the view. The two master bedroom setup was perfect for two couples. Kitchen was well-stocked, which was great, as we cooked all of our meals in. We really enjoyed the back deck.
We booked about 3 months in advance and I really don't think the photos on the listing at the time we reserved were the same as the current photos. In fact, so different that I think there may have been a glitch. This property is VERY rustic, like walking into a country antique store. NOT our style at all. We are modern construction. so not sure how this happened. If you are looking to stay at your grandma's cottage, this is your place. Looks, smells and feels like grandma county from 1970's
Great place! Loved the trees. Squirrels, and waterfalls! Communication with property manager was prefect! Quick responses! Would recommend ?
Had fun
We really enjoyed this trip, the views were beautiful and floating in the swimming hole was very relaxing! We brought our own floats with us and I recommend that. Even though it was secluded, it was close enough to do lots of fun things in Wimberley and the surrounding areas.
Everything was good except for the pool that was being renovated so we couldn't use it.
