55Beautiful visit as always, and lots of shade!
55My dog loves coming here! She’s got lots of fun trails to follow while I relax in the chairs or hammocks!
45Nice place and a little trail for walking. The dogs had fun. The only reason I removed a star is due to instructions. I downloaded Waze to use, as instructed, and it still took me to the wrong address. I kept driving until I found the right address only to realize there was 4 houses for that address (701 A, B, C, & D). We figured out is was D based on the gate, but putting better driving instructions would be wonderful. Also, we couldn't find the water hose/bowl for a bit as it is off the trail between the houses in a pot. Maybe a note online or a sign to help future guests?
55Plenty of room to run & sniff about! I’ll be using this location again often.
55Great, fully fenced spot with shaded trail around the perimeter. Dogs loved running around and exploring & humans appreciated not being in the sun.
55Great spot!!! Our 3 dogs absolutely loved running around this beautiful property. It felt private, quiet, and clean. Will definitely be back!
55My two highly energetic pups had a great time running around this three acre property. What was really neat about the spot is that it had a hiking trail around the perimeter that followed the fence. It was safe and there were no other people or pets around. The instructions to enter were easy and the owner did not meet us, which was nice given that we only booked an hour. We'll be coming back.
55Gorgeous shaded property with trails for a little hike. My dogs LOVED it and we will definitely be back!

Wimberley acreage with water access

Unfenced
3 acres

A quiet, clean little nook in the heart of Wimberley. 3 acres with waterfront access!! Let your dog bask in the sun or drop in for a swim. The water is the Cypress Creek River, it has a lot to offer with beautiful, large Cypress trees. Plenty of space to explore and enjoy the peaceful, beautiful spot. Please keep in mind we are in a drought so the water isn't as deep as it's been the last few years. Water is still safe to swim in but figured I would include this since I've had a few people mention the water levels. Texas is experiencing a drought, fyi.
