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.

The property was great! It was enough space for everyone with more to spare. I would recommend having more bathroom towels as we had to wash clothes daily to have them to shower or wash face. That was the only negative. The place is so amazing!!!!!

Fantastic weekend away

We had our annual preschool staff retreat here and it was perfect. Plenty of rooms and bathrooms for everyone to have their own space as well as wonderful community spaces for us to enjoy. We had a wonderfully relaxing weekend and highly recommend the property to any large groups.

A nice and relaxing getaway!

What a beautiful home and a spacious guest house nestled in a quiet acreage. It was a relaxing getaway for our family. The property was clean and well maintained. We felt at home away from home here. There were plenty of things to do without leaving the property, but close enough to San Marcos, Austin and San Antonio for an outing too.

Perfect getaway!

Our family of 11 thoroughly enjoyed the property and location. Far enough to be secluded, but a short drive to everything that Wimberley and the hill country have to offer. We used six of the seven bedrooms and the adjoining baths allowed for privacy after a day's activities. The expansive patios were great for sunset watching and visiting. Thanks for hosting us!

Family Trip

The house was perfect and exactly what we all needed. The detached Casita with individual suites was a hit. We had a little ant problem in the kitchen when we got there but we used the spray that was supplied under the sink and never saw them again the rest of the trip. We loved it so much that we are planning a trip back. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous home.

Fantastic place, well kept up

This was our fourth trip to Sunset Ridge Escape, bringing our two daughters, their husbands, and three grandchildren. We love the place, its natural beauty, seclusion, and wildlife, but yet it is very close to Wimberley, its shops and restaurants, and the HEB! The owners are very responsive and work very hard to keep the place up. Bringing our family here has turned into an annual event that we anticipate for weeks . I would highly recommend!

Loved it!

The houses, pool, and property were great for our family trip of 16 people. Plenty of room for everyone! Everything was clean and well maintained. The pool area was our favorite, lounge chairs were great. Our only suggestions would be towel racks/hooks to hang wet towels in bathrooms and outside for pool towels. And support bars in the showers for elderly guests. Thank you for letting us enjoy your beautiful property!

Perfect House for Large Group in Wimberley

My girlfriends and I stayed here for a girls getaway this past weekend and I honestly cannot say enough good things about this property. The house is spacious with plenty of beds for everyone. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you might need to cook or entertain. The grounds are beautiful and serene. The pool and hot tub are clean and in great working order. And the location is ideal, less than a 10 min. drive to downtown Wimberley! I plan to visit this house again or perhaps another property by this owner. I highly highly recommend this place!

Memorable Weekend

We had our family reunion at Sunset Ridge Escape and it was nothing less than amazing The house was so comfortable and inviting and the guest house was perfect! The game room was a hit for the kids. The game room gave everyone a space to unwind while the kids (young and old alike) enjoyed the various game options! Both houses were also so clean! The space in the main house was large enough for all the family to spend time and have a nice meal! The evenings were gorgeous with the upper deck! My 10 year old spent some time up there with his telescope. The occasional wildlife was a hit with the family as well. Overall, staying here was such a great experience! We definitely made some cherished family memories and hope to return again! ❤️

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.

Awesome Getaway!

This property is perfect for an extended family vacation... we ranged in age from 3-77, and it was exactly what we needed. The large bedrooms in the second house, each with private bathrooms, gave everyone the space and privacy needed, and the game room and patios were amazing gathering spaces. The pool was a big hit, as was the fire pit. Going into town and Blue Hole was an easy drive. We will be back!

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.

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.
