Large Luxury Blanco Riverfront Home with Pool

Large Luxury Home with Pool and on Blanco River! The Wimberley Retreat offers a unique experience with a 3400 sq ft/5 bed/5 bath house that sleeps 14 and sits on 10 private acres with direct access to 600 feet of deep river frontage on the Blanco River in the Texas Hill Country. The 40 foot long pool, spa and fire pit overlooking the river all create additional recreational activities and gathering spots for a family or friend get together.

I provide guests with all of details needed for check in along with a list of items provided at the house. Guests are not required to meet with anyone upon arrival, but rather will be given access codes to let themselves into the house.

We are out in the country, but only 15 minutes away from the Wimberley town square.

Guests have full access to the house and our 10 acres and 600 feet of Blanco Riverfront. There is only one house on the private property so you have the place to yourselves.

The Wimberley Retreat offers a unique experience with a custom built 5 bedroom/5 bath house with luxurious pool and spa that sits on 10 private acres with access to 600 feet of deep river frontage on the Blanco River. The house is a custom built stone and stucco home designed by Chagnon Architecture with 3400 square feet of living space and an additional 1500 square feet of covered porch for extended living space. Five bedrooms and 5 full baths allow for ultimate flexibility to cater to large families, reunions, girls weekends or just folks trying to escape to the Texas Hill Country.

Opposite the house and across the river is a cliff that overlooks the property and allows for ideal privacy and quiet. Few other homes are in sight, allowing the stars to shine bright at night. Escape the city pace and traffic for relaxation on the river or by the pool, with family or friends or co-workers. Have coffee on wraparound covered porch in the morning while a flock of wild turkeys roam the yard or several deer drink from the river. Enjoy an evening drink under the stars or next to the stone fireplace on the porch.

The river itself has something for all ages with shallow areas perfect for small children as well as several deep swimming areas of 4-5 feet in depth. We are lucky to be located on a part of the Blanco that has deep water even in extended drought periods. The private grassy ten acres of The Wimberley Retreat provide more than enough room for everyone to run, play, throw a ball or frisbee, have a kickball game, or just explore the wonders of nature: birds, fish, turtles, frogs, lizards, butterflies, and wildflowers. Some fishing and butterfly nets are provided. Feel free to bring your fishing poles, river shoes, kayaks and canoes.

The pavilion area is situated about 50 yards from the house and provides additional gathering space and activities for the group. It has additional dining and seating space overlooking the Blanco River below, a fire pit for night time s'mores creations and an adjustable Goalrilla basketball goal for pick up basketball games.

The Wimberley Retreat house is perfect for large gatherings. The great room, with cypress wood accent wall and several huge windows facing the pool and bluff, has a 65" flat screen TV with Sonos sound system and is open to the kitchen and dining area seating 14. The outdoor covered porch has a dining table for 8, a breakfast table for 4 as well as several lounging areas and built in sound system. The kitchen is equipped with all appliances, extensive food and drink preparation and serving ware, and indoor/outdoor dishes to accommodate any large meal. Each of the 4 large private bedrooms have attached full bathrooms. The 5th bedroom is also what we call the Bonus Room and includes a cypress wood accent wall, 55" flat screen TV and cypress wood barn doors that can be locked for privacy. An additional full bath with walk in shower is just outside the Bonus Room. The Bonus Room also can provide additional gathering space and has toys and games for both kids and adults alike. Use the queen sized sleeper sofa in the Bonus Room for additional sleeping space. There are 3 king beds, 2 queen beds and 2 twin beds in total, along with the queen sleeper sofa in the Bonus Room/5th bedroom. Movies, books, coloring books, puzzles, and games for all ages are in the Bonus Room closet, along with a cable TV and music system. Whether you are planning a mini-reunion, ladies getaway trip, couples gathering, team-building session for a small group, multi-generation family gathering, shopping or winery tour, or celebrating a special birthday or milestone, the Wimberley Retreat provides all of the privacy, space, and amenities your group will need.

Area Attractions: Explore the areas around Wimberley including the Blue Hole park for another great swimming area. Or visit Gruene, TX and the historic Gruene Hall and the Guadalupe River where tubing opportunities are plentiful; Visit the Driftwood and Duchman wineries nearby or partake in some stellar Texas BBQ at the Salt Lick. There are plenty of opportunities for dining and shopping in town or visit the San Marcos outlet stores 15 miles away. Or try other outdoor activities such as a zipline adventure, trips to the local state parks such as Pedernales Falls State Park and Enchanted Rock or even road biking many of the beautiful roads in the area.

A car is required to get around the area.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a private pool. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop.

Wonderful Weekend on the Blanco
We loved our recent weekend in Wimberley and Roby’s was everything we needed. We were a group of eight with ages ranging from 9 to 50. The kitchen was perfect and made even better with its gorgeous view. The big TV was just what the guys needed to watch football. The river access was perfect for fly fishing and lounging. So many memories were made and we look forward to doing it again!

Wonderful house on the river!
Had a great stay! the house is very large, has toys and games for kids, has pool equipment, the spa was wonderful to use and heat up when the sun went down. Rooms are large with lots of beds and baths. Every room has an en-suite. The kitchen is well stocked although the oven is dated and makes a loud noise when it is heating. Two fridges so lots of space to keep your beverages cold. OVerall had a great stay and would absolutely come back again! We have stayed at numerous places in Hill country and this is a great find.

The Retreat on the Blanco
10 acres meant total privacy. A guy came to clean the pool and was the only person we saw. 7 year old LOVED the River, catching minnows and frogs. Then it was the large pool. Nearness to Wimberley was great. HEB for groceries and lots of BBQ to choose. Thanks to Robby for making suggestions. Our son organized a great corn hole competition for grownups and picked the 7 year old to be the judge, so she was involved. Plenty of facilities for cooking, inside and outside. For guests who desire solitude, this is an easy choice.

Amazing place like no where else
This place is amazing. Me and my extended family come to this house every year! We love it so much! The property is beautiful, the landscape is breathtaking and we see deer running around every morning. The gourmet kitchen is fabulous, outdoor covered patio is huge and there several areas to hang out without the sun! Outdoor grill is so nice and plenty of room for everybody. We all love going to the river and hanging out on the big rocks enjoying nature! Such a special place and we are never disappointed. The owner always checks on us and is very accommodating and if there is ever an issue , he takes care of it in a flash! This place is so special to my family. It is a yearly trip we talk about all year! Love it!!

Spring Break at Wimberly Retreat
WOW! My family, consisting of 7 adults and 5 kiddos (aged 6 month to 10 years), enjoyed a wonderful spring break at Wimberly Retreat. The home and property are simply lovely and we experienced no issues, with pre-arrival communication and in-home instructions covering all the bases! We utilized the pool (in short bursts!), the hot tub, kayaked in the river, played basketball and a variety of games, and made smores. We left with many fond memories and will seek to stay at Wimberly Retreat again, if we plan to be in the area.

Perfect Property
The Wimberley Retreat welcomed our family (3 generations) for the second time, and we were wowed all over again! There is so much to do, both inside and outside--and all so relaxing. The kitchen was just right for all our meal prep, and the bedrooms & baths were nice, too. The common areas were spacious enough for us to gather comfortably, but cozy enough to allow for lots of memory-making activities. The pool in this heat wave was the main gathering spot, and the shaded porches near the house and near the river worked well for us, too. We can't thank Roby and his family enough for sharing their wonderful vacation home with our family! Grateful in Katy

Beautiful, Peaceful, Quiet, Serene, and worth a Re-booking!
I would highly recommend arriving before dark due to the dark and winding roads leading to this beautiful property. It’s pretty dark in the country so I was glad that we brought our car/camping lanterns to unload and get to and from the car to the house. The pictures don’t do this beautiful home real Justice. It was even more beautiful in person. It was spotlessly cleaned as well. The peaceful and serene landscape was amazing. The home itself has an awesome layout and it was absolutely perfect for our Thanksgiving dinner. The only downside was that most of our phones didn’t get service and the limited WIFI caused complaints but I thought it was the perfect opportunity to disconnect and unplug and appreciate the value of family time. The home is well stocked with just about everything that you might need. After a last minute cancellation with another booking, I had lost faith in VRBO but Roby the host of this property came to the rescue and had impeccable communication. We definitely plan on visiting again when the weather is warmer to enjoy the pool and outdoor areas. Although it rained our entire stay, we enjoyed our stay from start to finish. BOOK THIS BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY, your family and friends will absolutely love this home.
