About this property

Sunset Ridge-Hill Country Home, Pool, HotTub, Game Room, Fire Pit, Close to Town

Vacation Property Masters averages 4.9 stars with over 800+ reviews across all 9 of our luxury rentals in Wimberley.

Enjoy the secluded privacy of this hill country estate on 12 acres, just 2.5 miles from the main square in Wimberley. Sit in a rocking chair on the covered front porch and enjoy a fantastic view of the local valley and mountains. Sunset Ridge Escape can accommodate your small or large group (up to 20 people.)

The property is over 12 acres of secluded hill country beauty, with the buildings, decks, and outdoor living areas all arranged along the higher elevations to provide for the panoramic views. Enjoy leisurely walks along the Crushed granite walkways on the property.

The Main House of Sunset Ridge Escape is a Hill Country Masterpiece with Limestone accents and a metal roof. There are two large bedrooms upstairs, sharing one full bath, with the master bedroom and bath downstairs. The house is set up to accommodate entertaining, with an open floor plan for the kitchen, dining room, and living room. The Living room has a wood burning fireplace with a limestone hearth. The dining room has a 8’ farm table that will seat 10 easily. There is a sunroom on the back of the house, just perfect for your morning coffee.

The Guest House is just offset behind the main house and has 4 Master Suites and a large Game room with shuffleboard, pool table, TV with satellite. It has large glass windows to take advantage of the awesome view in front.

When reserving Sunset Ridge Escape, the Main House and the Guest House are included in every booking.

The Hot Tub is large enough for 8 people and sits on a rock patio next to the fire pit. (Separate from pool area)

We have a swimming pool with a sport pool ( 4' to 5.5' to 4' ) and a separate lounge pool ( 12' to 18' deep ). We also have a full outdoor kitchen with rock structure, stainless steel gas grill. (Propane provided for you)

The Observation Deck is a separate deck set back in the middle of the many Oak and Cedar trees that cover the property. It is a large deck (over 200 sq ft) and rises 10’ above the rock patio below. This deck offers additional seclusion and another opportunity to enjoy the panoramic views of the Wimberley area. The deck above is sealed and provides a dry cover for the area below, which has tables, chairs, and a BBQ pit for more outdoor living areas.

The Fire Pit area is a large rock patio next to the Guest House and near the Observation Deck. There is a sunken fire pit with a raised rock wall, and there are comfortable chairs to allow your group to socialize, while they enjoy the warmth of the fire and the brilliance of the stars in the night sky. There is also a rock sidewalk leading to the Observation deck and driveway.

Wonderful Summer Weekend

This house was perfect for our annual family vacation! We hosted our kids and grandkids for a long weekend and this was by far, the best house we have stayed in to date. So much room to spread out, yet do things together!

Excellent! Very clean and well presented/organized. Clear and thorough check-in/check-out instructions with detailed accurate list of amenities vs what you need to bring. Quiet, secluded, and beautiful. Kitchen is nice and well stocked, pool is clean and peaceful. Master bed comfortable. Have booked before and will book again. Within easy driving distance of stores but still feels private and secluded. Great air conditioning. Fits listing description.

Would have loved giving an excellent rating, but there was a horrible sewerage stench when we arrived in the outside rooms. After notifying the owner the day after we checked in, he responded quickly & sent maintenance over. The smell, for the most part, went away hours later but still lingered a bit. All the beds could use new mattresses, as these are all worn & some sink in the middle, while others sink on the edge. The toilets in some of the restrooms were not set right, as they would rock. Maybe that’s where the sewer odor was coming from as they weren’t seated properly. The property was very clean, in & out. It was an enjoyable weekend for sure.

Fabulous stay at Sunset

This place is fantastic. Clean, well-appointed, big enough for our 13+ family, close to town but still secluded, a/c worked great in the June heat, pool was just right for us, dining table just right for meals and games, plenty of bed rooms and bathrooms! We want to come back next year.

We had a great time staying at this property. There were 12 of us including 5 young adults who loved the room with the pool table and shuffleboard.

About the host

Hosted by Shiloh Collins

Host profile image
Phil and Peggy Collins bought this property in late 2007. We owned one other rental property on the river, but we really wanted to own a view property, and this property was an absolute perfect fit for what we were looking for. Peggy and I had a great time remodeling and decorating this property, and we made this nice so that we would enjoy it. The picture is of Peggy and I in Shanghia, taken in April 2009. Thanks for enjoying Sunset Ridge Escape as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Peggy and I really love the Flite Acres area of Wimberley and really enjoy being a part of the community. When we saw this house, and the property, and the VIEW, we fell in love with it. We did very little to the house, other than decorate, but we did a complete re-do when we put in the Casita with 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a gameroom, wet bar, and a huge covered rock patio with a great view of the valley. We also added the fire pit, hot tub, the elevated observation deck, swimming pool, 1500 square feet of rock patios, a lounge pool, landscaping, and a full outdoor kitchen. Besides that, we didn't do anything!!

What makes this property unique

You can see the guest comments and the write up on the house. One thing that does not come out very clear is the proximity to the Blanco River. It is a 3 minute walk from the front gate to public access to some of the best water that the Blanco has to offer. There is a small dam, so you can take your float and just lay back on one side, or go below the dam and let the kids play in the shallow water and have a great time. Our property offers great amenities, and a fabulous view, and a short walk gives you outstanding public access to the Blanco River.
