Everything's bigger in Texas, including this luxury Wimberley ranch, which offers an expansive enclosed yard with a private pool. You'll discover the true meaning of Southern hospitality in this secluded lodge boasting high-end furnishings and dog-friendly accommodations with a hint of western flair. Everything about this Texas getaway is impressive, from its oversized leather couches to the stainless steel appliances in the full kitchen. Guests will naturally gather around the warmth of the kitchen - after all, that's where the food and entertainment are! Get snuggly watching a movie on the flatscreen cable TV, or choose a family-friendly DVD from the DVD library. An Xbox 360 will keep the gamers entertained! A CD player and high-end audio system throughout the home will keep you plugged in to your favorite country music, while WiFi will keep you connected to work if it beckons.
The full kitchen is where the magic happens. Treat your guests to Tex-Mex brisket tacos, tortilla soup, or chili - just don't forget the queso dip! The enormous cooking space features high-end appliances including a gas range stove, kitchen island, and French door refrigerator. There's even a wine fridge to keep your large family or group merry. Dinner seating is varied, including two chairs at the island, a casual bistro table with seating for four, or a formal dining room with seating for six. Central air conditioning will keep the space cool even as you bring the heat in the kitchen.
Outside, the sprawling front lawn offers a lovely place to set up chairs or simply play fetch with the dogs. Sit on the porch and watch for birds, cattle, and other wildlife - herds of deer are known to pass through the property! Guests of all ages will enjoy the large pool in the backyard which offers plenty of places to lay out in the warm Texas sun. The partially covered patio is more like a cabana offering a gas grill, flatscreen cable TV, miniature refrigerator, and unique wicker furniture. Whether you're grilling traditional Texas barbecue or celebrating the Fourth of July, this outdoor space will truly impress guests! By nightfall, you'll want to spend some time in the enclosed backyard to gaze at the stars. The night sky will truly open up as no residential or city lights are visible in the area.
The secluded woodland property provides some hiking and mountain biking paths for you to explore with your dog. Sway on the rope swings and flop in the swimming hole at Blue Hole Regional Park, or spend an afternoon on the mixed-use trails and sports courts. This luxury Texas ranch is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, and offers phenomenal amenities for your special trip. If everything is truly bigger in Texas, you'll need to request off a few more vacation days!

This lovely Texas rental is located in a quiet residential neighborhood less than six miles from Wimberley Square, Jacob's Well Natural Area - an artesian spring swimming hole with underwater caves – and the Blanco River.

The nearby Hill Country offers excursion options to the wine connoisseur to taste some of the locally produced wines from the many Wimberley, Texas wineries within a short drive from the ranch property. Or plan a meal at the famous Salt Lick BBQ in the original location in nearby Driftwood to sample some of the best BBQ in all of Texas! Itching to experience more history?
