Lonesome Dove - Spacious Log Cabin on 8 Acres, Ample Outdoor Amenities
Lonesome Dove Lodge is a truly unique custom built cabin with 7-inch log exterior walls, nestled in the hill country on nearly 8 private acres. This property is perfect for couples looking for a fun bonding weekend or memorable family getaways.

Inside the cabin is an open kitchen and living room that features custom built birch cabinets and three hand made Tiffany-style chandeliers. The master bedroom has a king size bed and an en-suite bathroom. There are three more bedrooms each offering a king size bed and one bedroom with a queen size bed. Every bedroom is equipped with a flat screen TV.
Off the back of the house is a screened-in porch that makes a great place to sip your morning coffee bug-free. There is also a large patio with lounge furniture, a brand new hot tub, and a propane grill. The pool area is completely fenced and also has a nice pavilion offering shade while you watch others splash around in the pool.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The property was beautiful and quiet. The pool and hot tub were great. Would definitely recommend this property to others.
The property was beautiful, the house was nice and roomy. We took a girls trip 9 of us (aunts, cousins) and it was perfect for us. It’s located close to town 10 min drive. Wimberly is a cute little town.
Clean, beautiful property, great appliances, all bedrooms comfy, swimming pool very clean and quiet location. If we return to Wimberly will definitely try to stay here again.
The property is beautiful, beautiful landscaping, pond and accommodations. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub each day we were there. Also close to Wimberley downtown for some shoppimg
Lonesome Dove was the perfect location for our fall family gathering. Our rooms were clean and comfortable. There was plenty of room for us all with a large dining table, spacious living room, big enclosed porch, deck, and front porch. We enjoyed using the hot tub and even the pool on a couple warm afternoons. The kitchen had everything we needed. The grounds and koi pond were peaceful and beautiful.
Great place to relax and unwind with Family. The house has plenty of room and has a huge yard with trees and orchards. Enjoyed our stay. Wished we had more time and could stay longer.
We have stayed here last fall and again this summer. Both were fun for the entire family, especially using the pool in late July. We all enjoyed our stay and will probably come again next year!

8 of us stayed at Lonesome Dove for a family wedding. Very clean, comfortable and plenty of room to accommodate all of us. Plenty of porch space and the grounds were really nice.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted to know you enjoyed your time here. Hope to host you again soon!
Great place , nice view and pool . Lots of full baths ! Big family room with high ceilings!! A lot of seating areas , including pool front porch, back screen porch, barbecue hot tub area, Koi Pond area with lots of deer on property.
Lonesome Dove had everything we needed to hang out, visit and enjoy a family vacation. We brought pool volleyball and spent time playing in the pool. We floated several rivers and all were within 30 minutes of the house. So many beautiful sitting areas to enjoy. We sat on both porches and enjoyed the rain when it came and spent time sitting on the patio around the Koi pond. Lovely stay.
Enjoyed our family gathering here. The bedrooms with on suite bathrooms were great. Made use of both refrigerators. Also enjoyed the outdoors areas including the screened porch.

We're thrilled to learn that you enjoyed your time with us!
We (7 people) had a great time! The large house is in a very serene setting, beautiful pond with lovely landscaping. Having access to the private pool and hot tub was great at the end of each day. Just a few minutes to get into into town, this was the perfect place for our family/friends get-away.

We enjoyed our stay here! The grandkids loved exploring the yard and finding natures treasure. Plenty of room for everyone to be together! We will definitely book again. Maybe during the summer and try out that beautiful pool!
This was a great property for our family of 6 adults and 4 kids - ages 7 months to 6 years. The layout of the home was great for sleeping babies and the outdoor areas were well designed to keep kids contained. We spent a lot of time in the pool which was great for children. The fish pond was also a hit. We saw deer and hummingbirds. We would definitely return.
Thank you so much for sharing this feedback! We hope to welcome you back to Lonesome Dove again in the near future. If there's anything we can do to make your next stay even more enjoyable, please don't hesitate to let us know!
Great spot! The spacious layout easily accommodated our sizable group, providing ample room (and bathrooms!) for everyone. One of the standout features was the outdoor area, complete with a screened in porch, a pool and a relaxing hot tub. I was impressed with the cleanliness and would highly recommend this place.

Thank you for your glowing review! We're delighted to hear that you had a wonderful experience during your stay with us. We can't wait to welcome you back for another fantastic stay in the future!
We very much enjoyed this scenic property for our family Thanksgiving retreat. We had a couple of glitches (hot water heater, hot tub) which the owner addressed. We really liked the property, property management, and property owner, and are planning a summer retreat there (to enjoy the beautiful pool the property has).
