This was a beautiful property that we would love to visit again in the summer. The house was extremely spacious and met all of our needs. The host always answered my questions and was very accommodating.

River House

Beautiful home with a view that is spectacular. We had three generations come for a long weekend. Each one of us enjoyed a different aspect of the Bendigo. But everyone really had a blast fishing down at the river. Evenings on the portico playing games. Watching the wildlife in the early mornings. The kitchen is amazing to cook in. CLEAN! We had a couple questions and each one was quickly answered. Our family voted to return next year!

Fantastic Property with Beautiful Views

Bendigo Ranch was everything that was advertised and perfect for our family's weekend get away! The host is very responsive and accommodating. There is something for everyone - lots of TV's, pool table, shuffleboard table, card table, pickle ball court & equipment, and plenty of hiking areas. The neighboring goats and donkeys were a big hit with the little ones! The property was just as it appeared in the listing. The view from the pool/deck was absolutely beautiful. It's close enough to town that we could have made a run to the store if we needed to, but far enough away from the tourist crowds that we could just enjoy the peace and quiet of the ranch. And the kitchen...WOW...3 ovens, microwave, 2 large refrigerators, and more than enough dishes, utensils, pots, pans, etc. I don't think I've ever rented a place that was so well-appointed. The host really has thought of everything that a large group would need. We're hoping to book again for next year! Thanks for a fantastic weekend.

Fabulous place to congregate

This is a fabulous retreat. We are a group of 8 couples from Baylor University who have been getting together for a long weekend get away every year for over 45 years. This house had a bedroom and in-suite bathroom for every couple - the kitchen was completely stocked and well equipped. We will definitely be back.

Perfect for our Family

This is a really nice place! The furnishings are all top of the line. The pool right out the back door was perfect for the hot summer days. The 2nd floor living and game was awesome. We had plenty of room for cooking every meal for 20 people, ages 8 months to 83. The double refrigerators in the kitchen gave us plenty of room as well. The management staff was very responsive and even mailed forgotten items to us! The pretty riverfront on the property is only accessible with a four wheel drive.

Fantastic house and location

We had a family group staying for the holiday week. Everything was perfect. Plenary of room without ever feeling crowded. The kitchen was will stocked with everything we needed to cook and we cooked all our meals. The pool is great and most of us were in it every day. Close enough to Wimberley, brewery’s and grocery stores that a trip out was easy. Great communication with owner. The goats were a plus! All in all an excellent location and house.

Great spot for a large group but wasn't worth what we paid

Really enjoyed the layout and group-friendly space. All the en suite bed/baths made for a comfortable stay for all ages. Also, thankful for the open concept and front and back outdoor spaces. We had issues with the hottub and the main back deck though. Multiple kids and adults got splinters just from walking around. Also, one dining room chair had a piece fall off and part of the railing on the outdoor area also popped off. The land was beautiful, but didn't feel very accessible unless you had a 4x4 vehicle. Lastly, the second fridge in the main space wasn't working, so required lots of moving food between the main room and the laundry space. Overall a lovely place, but for the cost (>$6K) for three nights it didn't feel like it lived up to the group's expectations of a top tier property.

The most amazing vacation home

Our extended family of 19 spent 3 nights at Bendigo Ranch to celebrate Christmas together. They had the home decorated for the holidays, including a beautiful Christmas tree. There were 3 huge ovens and 3 refrigerators in the most fully-equipped kitchen I’ve ever seen. Our meals were comfortably enjoyed by everyone either at the huge, custom table or the two bars. Each of the 8 bedrooms had their own gorgeous bathroom. We had a roaring fire the entire time in one of the 4 fireplaces. Outside, we explored the hill country beauty and hiked down to the river, made friends with the ranch dog, and watched all of the goats. The weather was too cool for the beautiful pool, but the hot tub was perfect. We are definitely booking this home again! Thank you!

Family Gathering

The Bendigo Ranch house and property are great. We had a family gathering and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The pool and hot tub were great and the short hike to the river was fun as well. The house is furnished beautifully and the views were nice as well. The upstairs game room was also a big hit. Great place!

We never wanted to leave.

This house is more gorgeous in person. It was perfect for my 40th birthday celebration. Every couple had their own room with private bathroom. We had so much fun in the pool & exploring the property. The views were incredible, we took so many photos. We made the short drive to canyon lake one day, love how close it is to the property. The game room upstairs was awesome. The kitchen was huge & perfect for our group. Having the bar was a big bonus. We absolutely had the best time, we never wanted to leave.

Absolutely Fabulous

The property is absolutely beautiful very private and a great place for a family. Everyone had their own bedroom and private bath. Large kitchen and family room. You have the pool and the river to enjoy. Large fields around the house are great for a family game of baseball. They provide everything you will need. We had a slight problem with the pool when we arrived , but the property manager took care of it immediately. Highly recommend this property.

Amazing River Property

This house was absolutely perfect for our large group of friends and family. There was plenty of space for our group! The bedrooms are all unique with comfortable bedding and plenty of extra linens if needed. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need for meals. The outdoor area was amazing with great views from all sides. We enjoyed watching the beautiful sunset each night. The property is well maintained and we enjoyed interacting with the donkeys and goats that roam the area. There is river access in several different spots and it was easy to access with a quick text to the number provided in the home book. The owner came over and showed us the path down to the river and it was great! Flowing cool water with neat views of the cliffs. We cannot recommend this house enough!

Great country escape

The house is amazing and located out in the country from the cute town of Wimberley TX . The house is well furnished, updated, and our experience was wonderful. We spent time walking through the fields and enjoying all the wildlife and goats!! The hosts are great and will meet your every needs….just ask. The beds are comfortable, kitchen was amazing and lots of gathering space. We enjoyed the big deck around the pool. It’s great for anyone who wants to enjoy family and friends away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I give it 5 stars for a country retreat and would go again.
