About this property

Three miles to Wimberley Square, two acres of fun (pool + hot tub), one unforgettable destination.

Every Texas getaway should include amenities to escape the heat, and that's exactly what you'll get at Shepherd's Lodge! This gorgeous 2,300 square foot home comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests with 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms.

Perfect for a large group of family and/or friends, the open concept layout offers spacious indoor and outdoor living areas. The indoor living area provides ample seating, a fireplace, and a TV as well as deck access. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, cooking and dining essentials, and plenty of space for multiple chefs. The dining table seats 8 with additional seating at the kitchen bar.

Downstairs you'll find the first full bathroom complete with shower/tub combo. Upstairs you'll find the master suite which includes a king-size bed, TV, private deck, as well as an attached master bathroom with walk-in shower and vanity. The master bedroom also includes a large walk-in closet with plenty of space. The second bedroom includes a queen-size bed. The third full bathroom features a shower/tub combo. Ideal for the kids, the bunk room includes two sets of bunk beds and plenty of space. The fourth bedroom offers a queen-size bed while the fifth bedroom features a twin day bed and a TV. A washer and dryer are also available for guest use.

Outside you'll find over 400 square feet of covered porches and a 500 square foot shaded deck to enjoy all day long and into those glorious star-studded Hill Country Nights! Relax out on the deck or in the bar and grill pavilion after an afternoon spent playing in our swimming hole at the Blanco River just across the street. Enjoy the new pool complete with a tanning shelf for the loungers and little ones, splash about in the pool or relax in the generous hot tub. Challenge a friend to a friendly game of ping pong while you sip on a beverage - now that's Hill Country Living!

Only three miles to downtown Wimberley Shepherd's Lodge is a wonderful, centrally-located launching pad to enjoy all the Wimberley Valley has to offer from playing and swimming at Blue Hole Regional Park, shopping the historic Square and Wimberley Market Days, catching a movie at the legendary Corral Outdoor Movie Theatre, enjoying Hill Country cuisine and wines at local restaurants and vineyards, or browsing one of the fine local art galleries.

Blue Hole, one of Texas' finest swimming holes, is just down the road. Shepherd's Lodge is fabulous for the exercise enthusiast. Act like a local and enjoy walking, jogging, or cycling Flite Acres Road, Little Arkansas Road, or Little Ranches (it gets hilly fast!). Blue Hole Park (2 miles) also offers 4+ miles of easy trails for pedestrians and cyclists in addition to a playground and a basketball and sand volleyball court.

*The home is located in the heart of one of the finest acreage communities in Wimberley. We love our neighbors and want to be extremely considerate of their peace and property! Noise curfew is in effect from 9pm-8am.

*You must be 25 years or older to rent this property. Maximum occupancy at all times for this home is 12 guests. We manage several nearby rental properties and therefore often have staff in the area.

NYE Getaway

The house was perfect for our group. Super close to Wimberley Square and H-E-B, which was nice. The house was clean and accommodated all our needs. Property manager also very easy to get into contact with when we needed help turning on the hot tub. Downstairs water never got hot but we just took turns upstairs. One room was advertised as only having a twin bed, but it actually ended up being a Queen which was perfect! We will for sure be back.

NO RIVER ACCESS

Two families (ten people) ages 8-50 booked this place just after Christmas to have a little hill country getaway because it listed that there was river access across the street. It was a focus of the trip to walk down there with the littler kids in the mornings to do a little fishing with uncles and cousins. There is actually NO real access at all. I mean, you can go where they tell you and immediately get into the water - but it is all private property on either side of the bridge. When we tried to address this with them they told us that we should just fish off of the bridge - but there are signs saying that is not allowed. It is very clear from the signs and fences that no one is supposed to be there. The company is not taking any responsibility for this misrepresentation. Clearly they market it as having river access bc not only is it in the listing, but when we contacted them about where to go (bc we saw all the no trespassing signs and assumed we were just in the wrong place) they responded with maps and pictures saying that was the place that had access. I then got a message a day early saying we needed to be out by 10am. No one responded to my messages - so we left. Still haven’t heard from them about what is going on. Sure hope they give us our money back for that last night. Have a complaint with VRBOThe property is also pretty old and tired. I can see how it was once nice, but they aren’t cleaning it well or fixing things. Not worth the money.

Shepherd's Lodge Weekend

We gathered at Shepherd's Lodge for a family wedding in the area. The house worked out well for the members we had with us. The pool and the outside porches were great to enjoy the warm weather. We were disappointed to learn that the 1st floor shower did not get hot water as we had family member's that didn't do well with stairs. This had been shown in previous reviews, but we thought repairs would have been completed. The kitchen sink faucet was very loose. It functioned fine but was a bit difficult to maneuver. Great location so close to Wimberly. Overall, great time had by all.

Nice stay

We had a pretty good time. The owners got a little carried away with the label maker. There was a long list of rules, but they probably had to be stated because there probably were past guest that weren't as considerate as they should’ve been. Over all, it was a great value and we had a good time.

December Visit

This beautiful home was perfect for our big family. 5 bedrooms and a large living area with lots of seating for movies. We loved having the hot tub- it is also roomy and 8 of us fit comfortably. The porch and outdoor seating are extensive and the property is lovely. The service was excellent- every question we had both before and during the visit was answered immediately. We will definitely stay here again.

Great house!

We really enjoyed our stay at Sheperd's Lodge. There was plenty of room for our entire family. The house has great amenities. The only thing I would suggest is organizing the kitchen and do a deep cleaning under furniture.

We really enjoyed our stay at this house, was very relaxing and quiet. We had a little trouble operating the hot tub but they came out quick and helped us resolve the issue and got it running. By far one of our best stays so far.

Nice property. Great location

This property was a comfortable fit for our family of 6 adults. I loved that it was so close to Wimberly. It is “lodge like”, a bit darker finishes and lots of wood, but very charming. That said, it was a huge disappointment that the water filter and ice maker in the fridge still don't work. I saw this in another review, but assumed it would be fixed. I drink ice water all day long, so it was a big inconvenience for me. Also, I had forgotten about the hot and cold water being reversed in the main floor bath, and the first few showers were freezing! The pool and deck area is beautiful, but the hot tub doesn't heat up. It was never warmer than the pool. This could be a 5 star property if these issues were fixed

Great Memories for our Family

Our family recently lost the elder male of our tribe. Deciding to celebrate my wife’s 40th birthday with our family at this beautiful home was a great decision. The spacious and functional home was second to the deck and pool/hot tub combo. The home facilitated fun and great memories for our family but also healing. Maybe that is why it is called the Shepherd House?

Great Outdoor Living Space

The house needs some TLC for the nightly price. Ice maker hasn’t worked in sometime yet they took time to laminate the sign , just fix the issues, hot and cold water reversed, another easy fix, master fan doesn’t work, another easy fix, sinks clogged don’t drain while using them, house seems run down & we have stayed at many homes on Flite Acres, beautiful street and area!

Excellent spot for a hill country getaway

My friends and I really enjoyed our stay here. The house is lovely and well-maintained. The pool, hot tub, and outdoor dining area were enjoyed by all. Our only feedback would be that one extra roll of toilet paper in the whole house was not enough for 8 people. ;)
