It was a wonderful place for a girlfriend get away! Plenty of places to sit and visit, play cards, and swim! We couldn’t get hot tub quite hot enough but it was still enjoyable! Would definitely come back

Response from VrboOwner on 25 Apr 2026
We’re so glad you and your group had a wonderful getaway and enjoyed all the spaces to relax, visit, and spend time together! We’re happy to hear the hot tub was still enjoyable. With the cooler temperatures combined with heavy rain earlier in the week, it can sometimes take a bit longer to fully heat. We have since inspected the hot tub, and everything is performing as it should.

All very good. Only issue was hot tub didn't heat up. Followed all the directions, including making sure all other heat draws were not being used. Tried all three nights. A standard hot tub controller with temp reading, display of on/off, etc could help.

Five of us gathered for our annual reading retreat, and this property was the perfect backdrop for relaxation and girl time. The host was incredibly responsive to all of my planning questions, and the house was warm and accommodating. We cooked, read, napped, laughed, and explored. We thoroughly enjoyed the wraparound porch, the hot tub, the cozy sitting area downstairs, and the close access to Wimberley's cutest restaurants and shops. Would absolutely stay here again!

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.

In December, so it takes a while for the hot tub to heat up, but it works, and was enjoyed. The pool pump ran 24 hours which as a annoying in such a quiet setting. The fireplace worked, it was fun. The rooms are not as big as they seem on line, but the house was very nice. We ate outside once, very nice under the lights, especially if you BBQ. We saw deer, fox, cats, goats, turkeys, chickens, and more. Ice maker and fridge water were not working, ice trays were provided! Would stay again!

We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the hot tub, fireplace, wildlife, and outdoor dining setup! We did want to clarify a couple of points for future guests. The kitchen includes a full refrigerator/freezer. Ice trays are always provided as a backup. Also, during the colder winter months, the hot tub can take additional time to fully heat due to outdoor temperatures, but we’re happy to hear it reached temp and was enjoyed.

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.
