8 / 10Excellent·Mar 2025
Overall the stay was good, location was great as well. The property needs a few security features, like outdoor lighting and better locking system. Otherwise was a happy stay
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2025
Super close to downtown Wimberley and fenced yard for our dog to run and play. Clean and functional space for our family of 4.
6 / 10Average·Nov 2024
This home has potential, but needs some TLC. If you have small children you cannot use tub with shower running too, combination lock to front door needs work. Takes several tries to get door open, do not plan on cooking a full meals here kitchen is not equipped and watch for the spiders. Much more but then I would be getting to petty.
