About this property

Three miles to Wimberley Square, two acres of fun (pool + hot tub), one unforgettable destination.

Every Texas getaway should include amenities to escape the heat, and that's exactly what you'll get at Shepherd's Lodge! This gorgeous 2,300 square foot home comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests with 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms.

Perfect for a large group of family and/or friends, the open concept layout offers spacious indoor and outdoor living areas. The indoor living area provides ample seating, a fireplace, and a TV as well as deck access. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, cooking and dining essentials, and plenty of space for multiple chefs. The dining table seats 8 with additional seating at the kitchen bar.

Downstairs you'll find the first full bathroom complete with shower/tub combo. Upstairs you'll find the master suite which includes a king-size bed, TV, private deck, as well as an attached master bathroom with walk-in shower and vanity. The master bedroom also includes a large walk-in closet with plenty of space. The second bedroom includes a queen-size bed. The third full bathroom features a shower/tub combo. Ideal for the kids, the bunk room includes two sets of bunk beds and plenty of space. The fourth bedroom offers a queen-size bed while the fifth bedroom features a twin day bed and a TV. A washer and dryer are also available for guest use.

Outside you'll find over 400 square feet of covered porches and a 500 square foot shaded deck to enjoy all day long and into those glorious star-studded Hill Country Nights! Relax out on the deck or in the bar and grill pavilion after an afternoon spent playing in our swimming hole at the Blanco River just across the street. Enjoy the new pool complete with a tanning shelf for the loungers and little ones, splash about in the pool or relax in the generous hot tub. Challenge a friend to a friendly game of ping pong while you sip on a beverage - now that's Hill Country Living!

Only three miles to downtown Wimberley Shepherd's Lodge is a wonderful, centrally-located launching pad to enjoy all the Wimberley Valley has to offer from playing and swimming at Blue Hole Regional Park, shopping the historic Square and Wimberley Market Days, catching a movie at the legendary Corral Outdoor Movie Theatre, enjoying Hill Country cuisine and wines at local restaurants and vineyards, or browsing one of the fine local art galleries.

Blue Hole, one of Texas' finest swimming holes, is just down the road. Shepherd's Lodge is fabulous for the exercise enthusiast. Act like a local and enjoy walking, jogging, or cycling Flite Acres Road, Little Arkansas Road, or Little Ranches (it gets hilly fast!). Blue Hole Park (2 miles) also offers 4+ miles of easy trails for pedestrians and cyclists in addition to a playground and a basketball and sand volleyball court.

Perfect Family Place!

We had the most wonderful 4 night vacation in this house! Three rooms for couples to sleep in and two rooms for kids- perfect! The outdoor areas and swings were so fun. There is a fox family and bee hive to see also. The river and Wimberly are gorgeous.

Great place for the family to play!

Plenty of things to do for kids. Horses behind the property is a fun addition. Plenty of deer passing through the property too. I would stay here again if we make it back to Wimberly.

Great house!

We really enjoyed our stay at Sheperd's Lodge. There was plenty of room for our entire family. The house has great amenities. The only thing I would suggest is organizing the kitchen and do a deep cleaning under furniture.

We really enjoyed our stay at this house, was very relaxing and quiet. We had a little trouble operating the hot tub but they came out quick and helped us resolve the issue and got it running. By far one of our best stays so far.

Great Memories for our Family

Our family recently lost the elder male of our tribe. Deciding to celebrate my wife’s 40th birthday with our family at this beautiful home was a great decision. The spacious and functional home was second to the deck and pool/hot tub combo. The home facilitated fun and great memories for our family but also healing. Maybe that is why it is called the Shepherd House?

Girl’s Weekend

We had such a great time in Wimberley for Girl’s weekend!! The house was exactly as I expected it, and when we ran into trouble with running the dishwasher and lighting the fireplace, the property manager sent someone out right away to fix it. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, and we were able to cook a couple meals together. The hot tub was amazing and easy to operate. Highly recommend and will definitely consider this property again in the future visits to Wimberley.

Family Get-Away

Beautiful home!!!! We were blown away when we walked in. The home is immaculate!! The layout is perfect and the interior is decorated to perfection. The home was SUPER CLEAN from top to bottom. It is a short 3 min walk down to the Blanco river. Our kids enjoyed the spacious property adorned with tree swings and plenty of room to play ball. They found the ping-pong table located in the back shed which made for many battles throughout the evenings. To top it off....We had a daily deer visitor which came right up to the back porch, as well as evening fireflies to light up the night sky. Overall, this was just what our family needed. WE WILL BE BACK!!

Great house, great location

We were notified a couple days before check in that there was construction on the front porch, which we were disappointed by because we thought it would be a lovely space to take a family photo. The front door is locked out with zip ties because of the construction, but I wonder if this could be a safety hazard for emergency egress. The hot tub was fantastic! Beds were comfortable. Bathrooms were clean. We found some significant dirt under the couches (when the toddler lost a race car under there), and we were not given any spare toilet paper, but the property manager came and brought us some. The horses on the next door property were lovely to watch. We loved that the kitchen table expanded from 8 to 12 seats. The oven was a little slow, but it worked. There was a leak under the kitchen sink that we informed the property manager about. We did have a pool cleaning service show up un announced and the contractor for the construction was out there after briefly we were told there wouldn't be anyone doing construction. We did enjoy our stay. Wimberly is a lovely place to unplug.

Great family retreat - pool is wonderful’

Check in and out was fast- property is as represented. Clean comfortable accommodations for our group of 11 ranging in ages from 6-70. Kids loved the bunk room, pool, deer sightings, tree house and porch games. Adults loved porch , grill area, easy river access and kitchen. Plenty of room for our group as far as sleeping, playing, relaxing, and eating. Kitchen well supplied and easy to work in ( ice maker was out but we had picked up ice in town). Quiet country area with deer . The pool was amazing… the kids couldn’t wait to jump in ! Water Volleyball net for older teens/ nice spa hot tub for adults to relax in . Beautiful yard with lights strung around and fantastic propane grill area. Wood staircase was a little noisy but it made it easy to know when the kids were awake! Kitchen has most common small appliances and nice gas stove, plenty of plates/glasses/cookware for preparing meals. Most common necessities were there- soap/ shampoo/TP/ dishwasher soap / trash bags/cleaners/ potholders- there were only two kitchen towels but they do have LOTS of bath and pool towels for your use! We’d stay there again! We made fantastic memories ❤️

Great home and amazing property. Unfortunately a few issues.

My family and I recently stayed here for a family reunion weekend and we truly loved the home. It was a great size for our group of 8 adults and 3 kids. It is nicely stocked with all your cooking and dining basics and we loved being able to cook in the kitchen and not feel crowded. And we really loved the pool area, wrap around porch and deck. The property is amazing and we even had a lovely visit from the neighbors horses who were kind enough to let us pet them. We really liked that the pool was gated and safe and that the property was located so close to town. Its a short walk down to the river which was so nice to go explore even though there is not much water in there now. The kids still loved exploring the riverbed. Unfortunately we did have a few issues. The main being the bed count being misleading. It advertises enough beds for 12 people but it is really only 11. And with that being said, one of the rooms is just a twin trundle bed with no trundle! So you can really only sleep one person in that room which is weird for a vacation home. There is a bunkroom with 2 sets of bunkbeds which is great if you have kids but an adult isn't really going to want to sleep in a bunk bed with kids so it kind of throws off the sleeping count. I would definitely suggest putting either a queen bed or a trundle in that room with the trundle bed so that the room can host 2 and then the home will actually sleep 12. It made for some uncomfortable sleeping for two members of our party. We also had issues with the downstairs shower not getting hot water and some sink leaking in the kitchen. The management team did respond to a few of my questions which I appreciated and overall we did really have a nice time in the home. Its a beautiful house and if they could add that extra or larger bed we will definitely be back.

Wonderful stay

We stayed at Shepards Lodge for a family wedding at Montesino Ranch. It was the perfect location and close enough to go back and forth over the weekend. The house was clean, spacious and well equipped. We enjoyed the pool, hut tub and spacious decks over the course of our stay. We had plenty of room for our family. Highly recommend this house and was taken care of by the Vacay staff.

Great Place!

We rented this home for the weekend to celebrate my son’s college graduation, and it was the perfect choice. The house was clean, comfortable, and peaceful — exactly what we were hoping for.The pool was a great bonus, especially for cooling off in the warm weather. The surrounding area is beautiful and relaxing, with the river nearby adding to the charm. One of the highlights was waking up each morning to see deer running across the property on their way to the river — such a peaceful and unique touch.Overall, this was a great place to stay for a special family weekend. We truly enjoyed our time here and would gladly come back in the future.
