About this property

Blanco River water front, Family & Pet friendly, Free WiFi, Contactless check-in

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.

A peaceful, private getaway
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!

Perfect place for time on the river
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.

Great views!
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!

Spend time in paradise
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.

Not what I expected
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.

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.

Clean, quiet, beautiful property on the river
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.

Tranquility and peace
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.

Big backyard and small enclosed frontyard
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.

Second trip, first class service.
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.

About the host

Hosted by Connie

Host profile image
My husband and I fell in love with Wimberley. When we found Rio Casita, we just had to purchase it. We love being there and use it as a family get away. We love the quietness, the wild life and the easy pace that this place offers. We are very happy that we can share all of that with you.

Why they chose this property

We love being on the water and the Blanco is just right for us and our dogs. Our golden retriever thinks he is in Heaven when he is there.

What makes this property unique

Relax, relax, relax...pull a chair out into the middle of the river; read; walk; listen to nature or just sit on the back porch. A unique place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. However, if you demand a little more activity in your life, the Village of Wimberley is just 2 miles down the road.
