Welcome to Cottage #3 – Colorado at RusTx Ranch, where the spirit of the Rocky Mountains meets the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Tucked into a peaceful, five-acre retreat just outside of Wimberley, this cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage offers the feel of a Colorado cabin getaway—complete with rustic charm, natural textures, and outdoorsy details that celebrate mountain living, minus the altitude.
Step inside and you’ll be greeted by warm honey-toned wood walls, a corrugated metal ceiling, and whimsical pail light fixtures that set the tone for a relaxed and inviting stay. The living room is thoughtfully furnished with a comfortable flip-flop sofa that doubles as extra sleeping space for a fifth guest, a cozy club chair, and a wall-mounted streaming TV for your evening wind-down. Whether you ’re coming back from wine tasting or hiking a nearby trail, this is your space to kick off your boots and settle in.
The kitchenette includes all the essentials for light meals and morning coffee—complete with a microwave, refrigerator, drip coffee maker, and a dining table that seats up to six. The two queen bedrooms are equal parts cozy and stylish, outfitted with soft linens and touches of mountain-inspired décor that nod to fly fishing lodges, snowy slopes, and alpine adventures. A functional yet charming bathroom features a tiled walk-in shower and an extra-long vanity, perfect for getting ready to hit the town—or the trail.
The outdoor vibe continues with rocking chairs on your front porch—ideal for sipping coffee under the big Texas sky. Just steps away, a shared firepit (BYO firewood) surrounded by Adirondack chairs invites conversation and stargazing. The three cottages—The Equestrian, The Great Outdoors, and Colorado—are built in a friendly horseshoe shape around the firepit, creating a communal atmosphere without sacrificing privacy.
Guests at Cottage #3 also enjoy access to the shared pickleball court, making it easy to mix in a little friendly competition during your stay. And if you're traveling with a group, RusTx Ranch is the perfect setup—nine cottages, a spacious log home, and a charming event barn are all available for rent, ideal for weddings, reunions, retreats, or Hill Country getaways with your favorite people.
When you’re ready to explore, you’re just minutes from Wimberley Valley Winery and Lone Man Mountain Brewing Co., and a short drive from Wimberley Square, Blue Hole Regional Park, and countless trails, shops, and swimming holes that make this part of Texas so magical.
Whether you're chasing the feeling of a ski cabin, craving crisp mornings and firepit evenings, or simply want a cozy home base in a quiet, stargazer-friendly setting, Cottage #3 – Colorado is your ticket to elevated relaxation—Hill Country style.
