Kid Friendly River Access Home, Sleeps Six!

Location Highlights:

Nestled a short 10 minute drive down River Road from downtown Wimberley, our cottage offers you a peaceful retreat with easy non-public access to the Blanco River at two prime gated locations. Restaurants, Shopping, and local attractions like Blue Hole Park and Jacob's Well are all between 10-15 minutes away.

Enjoy the charm of our 1,358 sq. ft. home featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and various amenities for relaxation and fun.

River Access:
Two non-public HOA maintained parks, ~0.4 miles away, with key entry and parking. Ideal for swimming and picnicking. One with shallow wading areas for small kids or sitting, and the other with deep river access (often 10+ feet deep).

*** May 2025 River Update: The river at the 'main' river park is still deep! As of May 22nd, it was over 12 feet. Good flow, but lazy enough to allow you to float up and down the stretch without too much effort. The 'secret' river park has a great flow over the shallow rocks, like a babbling brook. Depth is still ankle to knee high in most places, and perfect to setup a chair and dangle your feet. Scroll to the very bottom of the photos for May pics of the River.

Living Room:
Spacious area with a 70-inch Smart TV and comfortable seating (couch, two single chairs, coffee table and reading table). Old LP records and a turntable record player, as well as an assortment of interesting books and games. Guitar in the breakfast nook area, so you can wake up all your guests in the morning.

Kitchen:
Fully equipped with stainless and ceramic cookware, cozy breakfast nook, and bar seating. Amazing coffee station stocked with both pod and traditional options (decaf and tea too!) -- as well as expresso machine. Supplied with so much coffee you'll be wired for days. Basics such as spices, oil, etc are provided.

Dining Area:
Open to the living room with a table for six.

Master Bedroom:
King bed, en-suite bath, 50-inch Smart TV, and individual reading lamps on dimmer switches right at the bedside. USB chargers for both Iphone and Android. New King Mattress Sept 2025.

Neighborhood highlights

Welcome to a unique and eclectic neighborhood, characterized by a fascinating blend of homes.

This area has evolved significantly over the decades, transitioning from a camping-only zone to RVs, and now to diverse residential properties. Each home in the neighborhood boasts its own distinct charm.

Local Highlights
Located in the heart of Wimberley, this neighborhood offers convenient access to the town’s vibrant food and shopping scene. River Road, the main thoroughfare leading into Wimberley from the home, follows the picturesque Blanco River. This narrow, paved road allows for two-way traffic but lacks street lights, adding to the area’s quaint, serene atmosphere.

Traffic and Access
The neighborhood is accessed via a single road, Rover Road, which serves as the sole connection to the outside world. As a result, traffic and noise levels are typically minimal, contributing to a peaceful living environment.

Lives in Wimberley, Texas
Wife and mom of two young kiddos (boys, under 13); we love Wimberley and all it has to offer. We live across town, so close enough to help out, and far enough away to maintain your privacy. The cottage was designed and cared for by our family. Some of the artwork in the home is by local artists, and two by our kids (see if you can pick them out!). Lastly, we bought the cottage because of the amazing river access. And now we share with you!
