About this property

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.

If spending your vacation floating in the pristine waters of the Blanco River sounds good to you make a reservation today!

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!

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.

Great house on the Blanco

This was our best vacation rental ever. The house was updated, beautiful and well equipped for visitors. The water was up on the Blanco so we enjoyed hours of river time. Lovely yard, front and back and large kitchen and entertainment area was perfect for our extended family of 11.

Beautiful house

This house is amazing and we had a great time. We had four families sharing it and there was plenty of room and were plenty of linens for everyone. The kids had a blast playing in the river and we cooked some delicious meals over the huge fire pit. We hope to make it a tradition and stay at this home regularly in the future!

Great place!

Perfect property for what we needed. Very clean and comfortable all around. Great spot on the river. Beds were very comfortable. Nice charcoal Weber grill and good outdoor seating provided. Hot water heater to bathrooms had initial smell issue from lack of use..but it worked itself out. Would recommend this property.

Summer family get away

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.

As advertised

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.

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.

Retama is as good (and great) as they say!

We spent three super fine days at this excellent property. It was even more spacious and well kept than we anticipated. We loved the quiet. We had the river virtually to ourselves. We saw wildlife (deer, turkeys, and many birds (from a hummingbird to a heron). The kitchen and dining area were large enough to easily accommodate our group of eight. The bedrooms were fine; the master bedroom was particularly welcoming, with a nice sitting area. Our children really appreciated the pool table. We recommend one improvement: a place this nice could use a better, more functional grill. We highly recommend this place if your budget permits.

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!

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!!
