Amazing views

We had a great time, loved the character of the over 100yrs old house but with modern amenities. Also made great use of the pool, jacuzzi and especially the game room. But most of all the views are spectacular from all patios as well as most bedrooms. Had some small unwanted visitors in the house but got rid of them with broom and vacuum cleaner. This is normal in the hillcountry. Loved the property!

Even better in person!!

This place was awesome. Plenty of room for our party of 13. The pool and hot tub were so cool to enjoy on a hot day with one of the best views I’ve seen in central Texas. We wouldn’t look anywhere else if coming back to this area.

Great property, great people

This property is awesome. It's great for families and large groups of friends. There is a lot to keep everyone entertained and the morning and evening views are a great way to start/end the day. Shiloh and the management are great people and super responsive.

Gorgeous

The pictures do not do this house justice. Victorian but homey with a nice kitchen and bathrooms. The weather was cold so we couldn’t enjoy the backyard as much as we wished but the view was still awesome from inside.

Son's Wedding Weekend Stay With Family

I was looking for a large space with amenities, Ridge View Escape exceeded my expectations. My family and I loved our stay so much we're considering making it an annual stay here. The house and decor are beautiful, the amenities are awesome, and the view is stunning. Wonderful memories were made.

About the host

Hosted by Shiloh Collins

Phil and Peggy Collins bought this house in late 2015. We own other vacation rental properties in San Marcos, Wimberley, and Coldspring, Texas, as well as in Evergreen, Colorado. Phil and Peggy have owned vacation rental properties in this are since 2005, and are living here full time. Our Son Michael, and his wife Shiloh moved up here in 2016, and manage all of these properties full time.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property for the amazing views, privacy, and close proximity to Wimberley, San Marcos, Austin, and San Antonio. We really love the character and charm of older homes and were very excited to update the original 1905 house on the property. This house was built as a professor's house at Southwest Teachers Institute ( became SWTSU, then TSU ) in San Marcos. The house was moved onto this site by the previous owner back in 1988. It had been sitting unused for several years when we bought it, and then we did a complete update and remodel. We think that you will love this house as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

This is a very special property. It gives all of the charm of a 1905 victorian home, with all of the modern comforts and conveniences that we are used to. The house is over 4,000 sq ft, so it allows for larger groups, with enough room so that everyone is not underfoot all the time. The views from every floor are just incredible. The rock work on the outside adds hill country charm, as guests enjoy the hot tub, fire pit, BBQ area, and other walking paths.
