We had a great stay. Arriving was a bit unexpected with the steep rough road getting there,didn't remember anything being said about that. One thing I thought that could have helped would be a folder of how all things operate instead of spending time figuring things such as lights,fans,etc. All in all great place to stay

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and loved the house and property. The location really is great for exploring town and the nearby wineries, glad you got to take advantage of that! We'd love to welcome you back anytime.
The location and the view was amazing. The place was neat and clean but the kettle and the dishwasher were not clean at all. The sink had some smell when turned on the water in the bedroom on the first floor.

We’re glad you enjoyed the location and views, and appreciate your feedback about the kitchen items and sink. We’ll be sure to have our team address those right away to keep everything in top shape for future guests.
The property itself is very beautiful and we had an amazing time together in a quiet and tranquil area. Communication with the owners was simple and efficient. We would absolutely stay again!
We enjoyed our stay at Southwind. Everything was clean and as pictured. My only recommendation is to update the signage to reflect "Southwind" and delete the lock box info since it's not applicable.

House is super cute and beautiful property. Kitchen is very limited on supplies to use so if you plan on cooking a lot bring your own supplies. Overall, very pleased with our stay.

We had a wonderful time and all pictures were very accurate of the space. Beautiful decor inside and a fun time to get out in the country and away from the city for our 4 kids age 6-15.
Really nice property. It was exactly as described in the listing. Everything about the stay was flawless.

Quiet, peaceful get-away. Fantastic patio and view setting (rolling hills and trees, birds) to relax and enjoy. Only used the first and second rooms (not the 3rd / top floor at all) and everything was very nice. Comfy beds. Would certainly return.
Had a group of 9 of us together for a graduation at Texas State University. It was a great stay. Plenty of room for everyone, clean and a great location. Minutes from Wimberly, 20 min from San Marcos, 45 min to Austin and an Hour to San Antonio. Sayed for a week and really enjoyed it! Firepit is awesome, even saw some deer on the property! Highly recommend I'd certainly stay again.
We stayed for 4 nights with our family. Great property--definitely remote and peaceful but very close to the great town of Wimberley. Rental was clean and pretty much as advertised. A few light bulbs need to be replaced and they only supplied one roll of paper towels and a few garbage bags so bring those if you are staying for a few days and cooking, etc.

Thank you,

We had the best stay at Southwind! The hidden bedroom was perfect for 4 of our 5 kids with plenty of space for each of them to sleep and play. The master bedroom fit me, my husband and our almost 2 year old with lots of room to spare! The two remaining bedrooms were perfect for my sister and father with their own private bathrooms. Our kids loved exploring the property and just being kids unplugged! We loved this spacious, clean, modern home for our stay in Wimberly. Everything was as pictured and as described. Super easy check -in/out process. We can’t wait to visit again!
Overall good stay. A few things to mention. The road to the house is gravel and a bit steep. We were spinning tires a few times. The home wireless worked about 5% of the time. We relied on our cell data.I do recommend this property.
House was clean and great location.The road to get to the house is a gravel road and quite steep. The minivan we drove it was sliding around trying to get up and bottomed out a couple of times.Also the kitchen is nice but short on cooking/baking items. Should purchase a knife set and a decent set of pots and pans and baking trays for guests to use.There was no firewood provided for the fire pit.
Southwind at the Bend was a wonderful location for our family to enjoy Wimberley. Many meals were savored, and games played around the large table in the kitchen. Everyone was comfortable in their own bedroom space with individual A/C units/thermostats. The peaceful surroundings really helped us all feel like we were really getting away from it all. Very clean and appointed. Would rebook in a heartbeat.

They provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay including throw blankets, nice soaps, bath salts, completely stocked kitchen.
The house is beautifully renovated and has beautiful artwork throughout.
The fire pit is huge and we had a wonderful evening sitting around the fire pit under the stars.
Our only complaint was that the house felt warm in the common areas at mid-afternoon.
