About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Relaxation awaits you. Open spaces throughout! The Blanco River welcomes you.

Retama is located right on the gorgeous, crystal clear waters of the Blanco River not far from the Wimberley Town Square. With 300 feet of stunning river frontage right out your back door this newly-remodeled home is an ideal, peaceful getaway from the big city. Huge oak trees welcome you to the Hill Country with branches like open arms. Beautiful, lush St. Augustine grass covers the entire property and invites you to grab your picnic blanket and a great book. Relax and let life pass you by while you read that long awaited novel on the banks of the tranquil river.

As you enter the home a wall of beautiful eight foot doors beckon you to come in and enjoy the quiet and stillness of the Hill Country. A large spacious living room, designed for families to gather and enjoy the roaring wood burning fireplace, is open to the wonderful gourmet kitchen with upscale granite countertops and shiny stainless steel appliances. Guests will enjoy dinner served at the large dining table which can seat ten guests comfortably. Overflow guests can be seated at the kitchen island which is equipped with four bar stools or at the bar area where there are an additional four high bar chairs.

Four beautiful bedrooms decorated in subdued, relaxing tones coax guests to enjoy a quiet night’s sleep and get ready for the day ahead. Sink into the inviting king bed or twin bed in the first bedroom. The second bedroom has three twin beds- perfect the little ones! In the third bedroom guests will enjoy another wonderfully tempting king bed. The huge master suite is a great haven that provides guests with a third king bed, a twin and a cozy sitting area with an additional sink.

If you have guests that enjoy a little competition there is a game room equipped with a regulation pool table and seating for spectators awaiting their turn.

For those who just can’t leave work behind or perhaps just have to stay in touch with the outside world the home is equipped with Wi-Fi. The flat screen television is perfect for your favorite movie featuring HDTV and Bluray with a surround sound system that will blow you away.

The outdoors are so alluring the kids won’t give their video games a second thought. They’ll love playing on the large, grassy lawn while mom or dad snooze in the hammock strung between the enormous oaks. When it’s time to cool off kids and adults can enjoy the river with its shallow and deep areas.

This roomy home is also great for brides-to-be and their bridal parties. The master suite is equipped with a huge three-way mirror, so the bride can ensure that she looks perfect from head to toe! And, the well-lit vanity in the sitting area is great for those wedding day makeovers. Imagine getting ready for your special day with the soundtrack of the Blanco River to ease your stress and provide a relaxing environment for you and your friends.

The Best
We loved this property and would rent it again. The kitchen rocked - it was roomy enough for several cooks and the best stocked of any VRBO house we’ve rented. My grandchildren loved having so much room to roam and loved playing in the river. None of us were ready to leave.

What a lovely home
Several of us were in Wimberley for a wedding and loved our stay here. The house was very comfortable and the view of the cliffs from the living room was stunning. The river access was great. We spent a few hours sitting in the water and enjoying the sights. Despite being in the middle of summer, the breeze in the evening made it reasonable to sit outside, which was nice. Communication with the property management group was great. Would highly recommend this rental!

Not as described
Unfortunately, there were many problems that occurred during our stay and the home seems to be neglected for a VRBO rental. Customer service replied they would get back to me about complaints but never did until 3 days after our stay with no remedy to the situation except for the AC. -AC was not functioning upon our arrival. It was fixed during our arrival. We had to let the contractor in. -many dead bugs on the interior -was not cleaned up to standard -water damage coming down the walls in dining area -broken glass in dishwasher. Dishwasher smelly -unable to walk down to the river because of fire ants leading down to the river. Too much brush on each side of the path to feel comfortable walking down. Not a good entrance to the river. -adjacent properties not very well kept -mattresses were uncomfortable -outdoor furniture is very uncomfortable -grill was a mess and ashes were not cleaned out -using the TV was very difficult and customer service did not assist The list goes on… Would not recommend a vacation here.

Friends' Getaway!
We are a group of women who have been friends for over 50 years and love to take 2 trips a year for the purpose of reuniting. This VRBO in Wimberley fit our needs perfectly. It was located on the river, spacious, immaculate, well-equipped, and had all the sleeping arrangements that we needed for 8 people. We, honestly, felt that we were staying in someone's home (not always the case in VRBOs). There were enough supplies provided that we never had to make a trip to the store. The only "blip" was that the password was misprinted for the Wi-Fi, but after calling the property management, it was, quickly, resolved. If I could give this place a higher rating, I would. You won't be disappointed!!

Beautiful Property Close to Wimberley
This house was perfect for a family with small kids. We enjoyed the one-story home and the main living space was comfortable and nicely decorated. Bedrooms are co-located in one wing which allows adults to easily enjoy the living area, kitchen, and outdoors after kids are in bed. The house has plenty of beds and fortunately there were no bunk beds to tempt clumsy toddlers. Getting around is easy as Wimberley parking is only a 5-minute drive and grocery stores are just a bit further. Easy to run around during the day and settle into a peaceful nature retreat at night. I would absolutely stay at this property again.

Gorgeous place!
We absolutely loved this property! The views & windows were amazing; we loved sitting outside in the mornings to drink coffee. The house was very spacious, we had 8 people staying & everyone agreed their bed was super comfortable. It was about a 5 minute drive to downtown which was super convenient. I'm already planning a trip back during the summer time to enjoy the river with kids.

River Hiatus
We stayed at this fabulous home for a family birthday celebration. I think the first reaction we had was that the pictures didn't even begin to show how great this property is. The land itself is beautiful and the house is icing on the cake. It's nestled in a quiet neighborhood close to town but feels like it's very remote. The house is tastefully done and has a wonderful homey feel to it. It was nice to get a reprieve from the 100 degree heat and play pool inside. New pots and pans would be a nice addition as the current ones are pretty worn, but other than that it's a lovely place.

Just as Described
The property was fantastic! Access to the river (thank God for the rain the week before!) and location were ideal. The house was spacious and comfortable and the view was beautiful. We had a group of 6 women and there were so many beds to choose from! The kitchen had all the basic necessities. Communication with property host was easy and they were very quick to respond with answers to our questions. Our only complaints were that the fire pit was rusted out and therefore broken leaving a rusty, ashy mess (we arrived to this), the patio furniture could use some updating but did not deter us from enjoying the patio, and while we appreciated the cigarette bucket (keeping butts off the ground), it should be emptied out after every stay, if used. Overall it was a fabulous weekend in a great house. We will definitely be back!

We've been doing this annual guy strip for 11 years now. This place was amazing. Mostly private. River view was amazing and just beautiful clear water. Bedding was comfortable and the pool table a real bonus. I don't see this listing on VRBO anymore, so I hope they haven't removed the listing. We will stay here again if available.

Everything about this trip was perfect, the family loved everything about our stay. Which by the way made me look good for picking this vacation spot? The home was well maintained, roomy, and inviting, the river in the back yard was just right for our group. I can’t say one negative thing about this property, if it ever goes up for sale, I'll be the first in line to buy it. The owners have a real gem, thank you for letting us have it for a while. We really did enjoy it.

Phenomenal spot for family getaway
We stayed here with grandparents, our family of 4 (with 2 kids under 5) and my sister's family of 4 ( also 2 kis under 5) and it was perfect. The house, yard, and river are actually far bigger and lovelier than the photos suggest. Easy river access. We had a great time in late June.

Great House ....but river frontage is hidden from view
Beautiful property, 5-stars. Great kitchen and comfortable living room, large TV with Netflix and a DVD player, utility room w/washer & dryer, 5-stars. Plenty of beds and bathrooms, 5-stars. Lots of books and interesting art on the walls. But....we came for the river. That photo showing beautiful, wide open river frontage? In reality, there is thick grove of tall, young trees between the house and the river. A pretty river, yes, once you get down to it on the path through the trees. Nice little spot for kids to play in.
