Fantastic location. House itself was spacious and comfortable with everything we could need. Porch facing the river was amazing and such a great place to hang out. Would absolutely stay here again!

Thank you for your review and feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and the amazing views from the back porch. We hope to host you again in the future!
Staying at this rental felt less like a typical vacation rental and more like staying with a friend. everything was spotless and cozy - the space felt welcoming and cared for.The location is unbeatable. Although very close to RR12, the house sits right on the beautiful river, with peaceful views and yet you're just a 5-minute walk to all the charm of downtown Wimberley. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and convenience. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

This was the perfect property for our Family Thanksgiving. Very enjoyable.
This was a perfect getaway for our group of five women friends. Deer grazed every night in the yard, plenty of space in the well-appointed kitchen to fix a meal or a happy hour, comfy beds. We'd love to come back in warm weather and enjoy the river.

Thank you for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear that your group had a wonderful getaway and enjoyed the peaceful evenings with deer, the spacious kitchen, and comfy beds. We'd love to host you again—especially when the warm weather arrives so you can enjoy the river!
Had a great time in Whimberly
Wish we had more water (Mother Nature)
Deers made up for it ❤️
Only thing is that the room with the trundle was hot maybe some curtains would help.
Overall had a great stay
Great porch and yard for sitting by the river and relaxing with friends. It was a bit closer to the road than we expected, but it wasn't overly busy and the house was large, comfortable and well stocked.

I’m happy to hear the house was comfortable and well-stocked for your stay. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
This property was perfect for attending the festival since we could easily walk over to the event. We also enjoyed the rocking chairs on the back porch to watch the wildlife.

We had a lovely stay! Four day anniversary trip with a planned shopping day in Wimberly. Unfortunately Wimberly was a mad house on the weekend, but fortunately we had a beautiful and peaceful place to spend our time. The deck and firepit area gave us hours of peaceful, quiet time reading, talking, watching wildlife, walking - it was wonderful. We did get to shop in Wimberly on our way out Monday - it was much less crowded and very enjoyable.The house was well equipped, comfortable beds, nice linens - overall wonderful!My only negatives - and they are slight compared to the positives - more road noise than anticipated and the dishwasher was full when we arrived so cleaning crew might want to be aware of that.I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

If coming at night there should be some sort of flashy reflection lights in drive way
Also you need to label your light switches or put instructions in your booklet
Also tons of water roaches.

We're also sorry to hear about the water roaches; we have addressed this to ensure a more comfortable environment for our guests. Your insights help us improve, and we hope to welcome you back soon!
We love Fairlawn! From a distance the property may not appear to be 5 stars, but don’t be deterred. Both the property and interior are wonderful. Very clean and well appointed. The layout of the house was fabulous for 8 adults, 2 children and an infant. The location on the river is divine. So beautiful and peaceful and fun!! We loved hunting for frogs at night and listening to the night music. The short walk to town is easy. I would stay there again and again. Thank you!!
We weren't supposed to get rain until Saturday, but we pretty much got bad weather here the entire trip, because of the Hurricane in South Texas. The house itself was good. The layout was easy and the overflow fridge in the laundry room was great!! The only minor issues with the property itself were scratches on some of the walls and the dryer didn't work. In my 50's I am a stickler for the rules, so when I saw these scratches, I immediately reached out to the management company with pics to let them know. Didn't want to get charged for previous guests.
Dryer wasn't a major issue as we just hung dry everything, but felt bad for the cleaning crew that would show up after check-out, so I did notify the management company again in hopes they could make a contingency plan.
The pictures of the river did NOT do it justice. We've stayed on the Blanco before and the entry point to the river here didn't seem very friendly, but it was easy access and the water was way clearer than we could have imagined. Since we got rained on a lot, the river was our go to. Overall the property was exactly what we needed. The group had fun and the management company was responsive. OH, one last thing... This thing was in the perfect location to downtown Wimberley. Walking distance for sure, but a 60 second drive. I highly recommend Ranch Brand Winery and Hildees. Just delightful.

We’re also pleased that you found the location convenient and had fun exploring the nearby attraction, and the river easy to access.

Really large 4 bedroom home with 3 full bathrooms. Clean on the inside! Rustic feeling porch with rockers, large yard, and walking access to the creek. Check in was easy. We didn’t walk to town because it’s a busy road but it’s a 2 min drive
