Disc Golf Course: 6 Hole Course winds through the property
Stargazing Deck: The Gathering sits in Wimberley’s certified Dark Sky Community, which means you’ll see constellations, satellites, and the Milky Way with rare clarity... brighter, closer, and more breathtaking than most people remember.
Our stargazing deck was built for exactly this: Space to relax, look up and feel small in the best way possible. Bring a blanket. Bring your people. Bring your wish. And watch as something beautiful unfolds.
Custom murals: The perfect photo backdrop - "Texas Pride" shows off deer, bluebonnets, Texas flag, and a beautiful hill country sunset. "Winged Magic" is a floral butterfly-wing design, surrounded by flowers and bees. The bees serve as a tribute to the hives managed on the property’s back pasture.
THE OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE
Start the morning on the Texas-sized porch with coffee and deer in the distance. Spend the afternoon relaxing in the pool, playing pickleball, hanging at the party barn, or exploring Wimberley. Then come back for dinner, a soak in the hot tub, and s’mores by the fire. And when the sun goes down, the sky takes over. The stargazing deck is a guest favorite for a reason - it’s quiet, dark, and absolutely unforgettable.
Guest Access:
You’ll enter through a private gate (code provided with check-in instructions). As you drive in, you’ll pass the Cottage, which is booked separately. (Shared amenity access is limited to pickleball court and disc golf course, or you can book the entire property for exclusive use.)
As you continue down the drive, you’ll pass the pickleball court with shaded viewing area, disc golf baskets, and often a few deer or turkeys near the feeder. Farther down, you’ll reach the Party Barn - a hub for fun for kids and adults alike.
The Main House is to the left of the Party Barn, with plenty of parking.
If your group needs a place that feels special - not just “big enough” - you’ve found it.
The Neighborhood:
The Main House and Cottage are about 1/4 mile from each other. There are mature trees, a large field (for disc golf) and the pickleball court between each home. This helps ensure guests at both homes have plenty of privacy!
Getting Around:
The Gathering is the epitome of luxury, relaxation, and entertainment. You might find it difficult to leave, and with all it has to offer, who could blame you? But should you choose to explore, Wimberley and the surrounding areas have a world of delights to offer. Savor delectable dishes at local restaurants, explore unique shops, and discover attractions like Jacob's Well, Blue Hole Regional Park, wineries, breweries, and a variety of fun activities and events. Just 20 minutes away, Canyon Lake beckons with boat and jet ski rentals, or enjoy live music concerts at Whitewater Amphitheater. Venture further to New Braunfels and Gruene for fabulous dining and live music. Spend a day tubing, kayaking, and rafting on the Guadalupe River. Families and children will adore Schlitterbahn Water Park and Landa Park. For shopping enthusiasts, the San Marcos Outlet awaits with over 240 shops for a day of endless retail therapy.

This was the second time we stayed we have enjoyed it both times hope to come back next year
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2025
Our stay at The Gathering was nothing short of phenomenal! We were there with our middle and high school group from Acton Academy CyFair, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The property is surrounded by nature, with deer and wild turkeys frequently visiting, and the sunsets were absolutely beautiful.
The home itself is spacious, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable. The beds were perfect for a restful night's sleep, and the kitchen was impressively well-stocked with utensils and cookware for all our cooking needs. It is huge and accommodated multiple cooks at one time.
We loved the many activities available, including pickleball, basketball, and the pool and hot tub. The yard games added an extra layer of fun for both kids and adults. It was the perfect setting for everyone to unwind and bond.
Overall, it was one of the nicest vacation properties I've ever stayed at, and I travel a lot. Our children and adults had an absolute blast and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
We absolutely loved every minute of our stay here! Perfect location-close to town but still very private. Impeccably decorated and clean. We had so much fun playing pickleball and using the coffee bar. The fireplace was so relaxing and beds were comfortable. The only downside was that our stay was too short! 2 days is not enough time ! Also loved seeing deer and turkeys.
10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2025
I enjoyed the spacious seclusion of the Gathering with several friends. We appreciated the beds and bathrooms, as the accommodations were great for us adults. Taking walks around the area, using the hot tub, and stargazing were all perfect outdoor activities. The table was large enough to accommodate all of us at meals and relax in the common spaces. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful space.
