About this house rental
Rio Casita (Little River House) is located in the middle of a beautifully wooded acre of land on the pristine Blanco River. The clear, cool, spring fed river is ideal for kicking back, relaxing, and enjoying nature. Drive the short three miles along River Road that flanks the Blanco into Wimberley, and take a shopping spree through some of the most unique shops you will see anywhere.
This is a very romantic spot with plenty of privacy. The kids and pets will love it also. Walk down the easy sloping hill from your back porch and directly into the river. Great swimming and wading and a superior place to enjoy an ice cold adult beverage. It's all here, come and see!
After fun in the sun and the river, head back to the house to enjoy all the ammenities: outdoor grill, great backporch for hanging out, gourmet kitchen - everything you need, except the food. When the sun sets the fire flys appear.

The property is very peaceful, quiet and quaint. Good place to disconnect and recharge. Not far from town. The river was a bit dry but was still nice to hear the stream and watch the deers nearby.

Well appointed comfortable home on the river. It is very private, yet unpretentious. We enjoyed the birds, fireflies, and humming birds.

2nd stay at this property. Easy river access, perfect for the dogs. Water level was low but that’s Mother Nature and the dogs didn’t mind. Quiet, peaceful, relaxing.

We had a wonderful three-night stay here, and it was so nice to be able to bring our (large) dog with us! All of us enjoyed wading in the river (it was pretty low at the time but still fun), we saw the moon rise over the hill, we enjoyed watching many birds in the backyard, and we just generally enjoyed being together, reading and doing puzzles, and often just taking in the peace and quiet of the property. The house is much larger and brighter than pictures suggest. If this property added a hot tub, it would be the cherry on top, but it's wonderful either way. We hope to return soon!

We loved this house and host! Communication was great, check-in and -out were easy, house was comfortable and clean, yard was fenced, and the land between the house and the river was cleared.

We enjoyed three days at this Blanco River retreat. The dogs loved the fenced yard, and we enjoyed viewing the wildlife. This is a well-equipped home, and we would love to return during the summer to take advantage of the river. Wimberley was so fun; great shopping and dining!

For humans and dogs this property is perfect. The house is great for friends or families with 3 bedrooms so everyone has a quiet place. The patio overlooking the river is so relaxing and a great place to watch over children and pets playing in the fenced yard. The home is well equipped and very comfortable.

6.0 / 10.0
The place was great, the person that own the place was great, but it was not what was displayed on the verbal and it was not what I expected. When I booked this at advertised it had a hot tub. It did not! She took $100 off. If I booked a place without a hot tub it would have been at least $300 cheaper than what I booked here. I'm not happ. yOn the pictures it showed that the water was high near the house which was waterfront, it was pretty much extremely dry!
I have to say that the host was awesome but the place was not what I paid for, and it was not what I expected! I know better to ask a lot more questions before I rent a place here on verbo.

We would definitely stay again.

Inside is comfortable with plenty of seating for lounging and dining. Satellite tv did not work. Inside was very clean, but the outdoor patio seating needs a good scrubbing. Lots of deer nearby for nature watching.

The house was clean and cute. Unfortunately, the river was very low due to current drought conditions, but we enjoyed the view. It's a great place to stay away from the crowds, and we would stay again.

Had deer and turkeys in the yard every morning and evening. River was low so we floated the San Marcos. Had a good time, water was nice and cold. Will come again!

If you need to escape from city noise and city lights, Rio Casita is all you need. The wonderful views and the sound of Blanco river close to the house will make you forget your city stress. Surrounded by lots of nature. My girls really enjoyed the stay. We were able to see fawn, foxes, coyotes, hummingbirds, and cardinals. Rio Casita makes you feel right at home. Very easy to communicate with Connie the host. She is really helpful and very nice. Will definitely come back sooner than later.

Our family really enjoyed our time at this home! Our dogs may have loved it more! We have a yard at home, but there was something about this house that made my dad and one of our dogs want to stay outside the entire time! The water was mostly mud behind the house, but if you walk through it a bit, there's shallow water. There are also TONS of swimming holes near the house. This is not the owner's fault, just a heads up.

What a beautiful spot. Our dogs loved the property and it made for such a beautiful stay. We will be back to enjoy. The owners are incredible, my husband left a bad and they shipped it to us the next day.

We stayed here on a trip in 2020 and came back last week. The property is described well and comes with everything on the list. Great for pets since the backyard is fenced, but you can go through the gate and get to the river quickly.
We had an issue with the refrigerator, but the owner responded quickly and brought another fridge the next day. Very nice people own this place, and we would definitely stay again.

We had a great stay. The house was comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The road to get there was longer than we thought but still close enough to easily get to town. The river was very low.

Great place to stay, if you want an open floor plan, three bedrooms, comfortable king master bed, cold A/C, convenience to Wimberley, Gruene, San Marcos, etc. I would not necessarily stay there if you want to be on the river...though, it is technically on the river. I walked down to the water a couple of times, but stepped into mush...silt, stink... I don't frequent this area, so I don't know if this is normal. Water maybe came up to my ankles? My 13-year old daughter wanted to go out to the middle of the river and sit on the rocks, an that was okay. You can't really see the water from the house/porch. There was no full-length mirror, which I think would be a problem, for a girl's trip. No blowdryer, which I didn't know until after I got there - perhaps if I had read other's reviews before going, I would have known that. There were knives, but none that could really cut anything... Bring a sharpener or your own knives if you want to chop or slice anything. Lots of dead branches everywhere, that if removed, would have really spiffed up the place. My husband and I sat on the porch once night, while we cooked chicken over charcoal and I had to use the provided broom to dust off spider webs, etc. from the chairs that we sat in. Overall, I am happy with my stay, but I just wanted to mention those few things because they were important to me.... maybe not to someone else.

This is our third time staying in this cozy house. It is so peaceful, and we love the wildlife. We saw deer, fawn, a peacock and a turkey! So many fireflies at night! Unfortunately, the river is very low, but it is still nice to walk around in it. It is very close to Wimberley Square for shopping and dining. If you are looking for a nice quiet getaway, this is the place for you!

Our family spent the weekend here with our two dogs. The kids and the dogs loved playing in the river and chasing fireflies. The adults loved sitting on the porch enjoying a cup of coffee. The beds were super comfortable. The kitchen was a dream. We will be back!

This was our secret time to stay at this lovely cottage out from Wimberly, Tx and right on the Blanco river for Christmas.
We stayed here in December of 2020 and there was no blow dryer. I bought one locally and left it there as a donation. I surmised that the omission was due to the Covid restrictions.
Well, once again there was no blow dryer at the home. I was proactive this time and brought my own. As far as toiletries, there were only small, wrapped bars of soap supplied. Again, I was prepared with my own shampoo & conditioner.
Coffee supplies were good, which was appreciated. I made a full Christmas meal and while cookware was abundant, some items could be better. The salad had to served in a large, old green plastic container. The drawer with kitchen tools was scant. More cooking implements, such as a cup measuring upright cup, better can opener, more serving dishes & spoons would enhance this property, given the rental price.

I stayed at Rio Casita a long time ago and it was magical. I needed a relaxing weekend and decided to come back. This is a great place to just sit outside and read a book and enjoy the view. The house is inviting and comfortable. I will be back!!!

I would live on that back porch if I could. We love the house and keep coming back. It’s exactly what we need when we can get away from work and escape the every day grind. Thanks for sharing this peaceful place with us.
