This house and property is amazing! Easy access, quiet surroundings nestled into 40 acres, beautiful river views, and a house that has it all! Roby was a wonderful host. We will be back!
Would definitely come back. The kids enjoyed and adults relaxed!

Beautiful
Had a wonderful stay at this fully stocked home in a beautiful location. Probably the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in away from home. Would definitely say again. We were fortunate to have a good weather and could enjoy the outdoors without being too hot
We have been visiting Wimberly for the last 10 years and this house is by far our favorite! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to grill out and cook all of our meals. The house was spacious and the master bedroom was a dream.The water access was wonderful, we hung out enjoying the cool water, some fished and caught quite a few big ones! The view from the house of the river below was beautiful.Thank you for having us and we hope to be back one day.
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. The home was comfortable and well stocked. There was plenty of space and the river access was great.
This was the perfect place to unwind close to town. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space to spread out and be comfortable. Host was great...everything was perfect. Thanks!
This is our favorite place to stay anywhere. The house is so beautiful and has the best river views and river frontage. Every year improvements are made to this beautiful property. We go as a group of women every year and have been staying here for about seven years. The house has everything that you need to make your stay perfect.

End of Summer Stay
Our family had such a wonderful time at shade ranch. Roby is easy and quick to communicate with. The property exceeded all expectations. We went with our two toddlers and 3 big dogs. It was perfect for all of us. Most of the time was spent in the river or outside but the home itself is beautiful and cozy. We can’t wait to get another family trip there on the books. Truly a special place.
We wanted a fun weekend trip to celebrate my youngest granddaughter’s 18th B-day. The thing she most wanted to do was zip line. So, she & her mom went and had an incredibly great time. Then Ella & I went in on the Square to shop. But more than all that fun day we just thoroughly enjoyed the large river house at Shade Ranch. What a magical, wonderful home! We will look forward to another trip to Wimberley & hopefully be able to stay there again. Becky H Houston, TX

We love this spot on the Blanco!
Our 3rd stay here, and we just think it's the most perfect spot on the Blanco. It's easy to get in, we usually have the whole river to ourselves, and there's a great view of it from the house.
The house is spacious, clean, and great for a large group. For even larger groups, there's a cabin available to rent too! Kitchen has all the amenities, there's lots of space on the beautiful patio to enjoy a meal, a fire, or a game of horseshoes. The surrounding 40 acres makes it seem like you away from it all. We've been coming here for 3 years, and our kids have been ages 3 to 12, and they love exploring the property, the river, kayaking (we bring our own), fishing, and working on the dam! Roby is great at answering any questions or concerns we have throughout our stay!

Shade Ranch is a beautiful, peaceful, hidden getaway just a quick drive from Wimberly. The house is Texas charming and the landscaped outdoor spaces are just right for a family to gather around a fire pit or spacious table. The view of the River from the house is fabulous but the walk to the River and time spent on the River was really special. We fished the River and enjoyed the tranquility. The house was perfectly suited for a family group and so clean. We had a perfect little family birthday celebration thanks to this great property!

Texas Original
This place feels original and unique. We loved it, and will be back!
What a beautiful place ! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with my family. This was our 2nd visit to Shade Ranch and will hopefully stay again next year.
Overall, the fabulous rental cabin on the Blanco River near Wimberley, Texas is a wonderful place to stay for those seeking a peaceful and comfortable retreat. Our family enjoyed our 3 year old's Birthday party and the river was great fun for swimming, playing on our unicorn & flamingo floats and fishing.
The property was great. An older house that sits right on a cliff along the river. We went in the winter months and enjoyed the fire pit and outdoor area each night. There’s an easy path down to the river that we took our kids to throw rocks in the water. It’s also very close to the main square of Wimberley.
