This was a perfect spot for our girls getaway! The house is spacious, yet cozy, and had everything we needed. The kitchen has a great setup for enjoying meals together. We enjoyed relaxing on the porches and lounging in the pool. Blue Hole is a refreshing spot and downtown Wimberley has lots of charm! We would definitely return!

We stayed at Shepards Lodge for a family wedding at Montesino Ranch. It was the perfect location and close enough to go back and forth over the weekend. The house was clean, spacious and well equipped. We enjoyed the pool, hut tub and spacious decks over the course of our stay. We had plenty of room for our family. Highly recommend this house and was taken care of by the Vacay staff.

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 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
by Cynthia
4/5
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

We started off with a few issues when we first checked in.– A big shout out to Cody and Jennifer for working all the issues out. The rest of our stay was wonderful. My only comment is during this Texas heat coming down from Minnesota 76° is way too warm to walk in to a house. I would recommend that the day the gas are checking in that someone come in and turn the thermostat down to at least 70. It took very long to keep the house cool down.
Thank you for staying at Shepards Lodge. We hope to have you come stay again!

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. ;)

Great family vacation house
by Brenda

Our group of 11 had a wonderful relaxing stay at this beautiful home with pool. The house was clean and had a fantastic shaded porch that we all enjoyed throughout our stay. The kids loved the treehouse, pool and swings plus the fun bunk bed room. We drove down to the river the second day and were surprised to find plenty of water to enjoy even in the middle of this drought. The kitchen was easy to work in with everything labeled and was stocked with the normal small appliances. Bedrooms were comfortable, seating in the living area was ample and the dining table could be expanded to seat our group of eleven. We all enjoyed our stay!

We drove in from North Dakota to visit family in Texas. This property did not disappoint! We stayed by the pool side everyday! It was so nice with little ones to have the shallow beached area and swing. The house was very accommodating for our group. Great kitchen, great showers. The river was a short drive or a little longer walk from the property. We would definitely recommend this house and SkyRun Properties.

We stayed here in June and the house/location was perfect. Everything you would need in a vacation rental was provided, the beds were super comfy, and there was plenty of space for our family. The cherry on the top was the private pool/hot tub, ping pong table, tree house, and spacious backyard area for the kids to have endless fun. This house is also in walking distance to the river which was also amazing. I ended up leaving a pair of shoes behind and the staff was so easy to work with and got those back to me with no trouble at all. We will be coming back again!

This house is so beautiful, and the town of Wimberley is just totally adorable! This property gives you a lot of space to roam, but is also not too far from the little downtown area, HEB, and coffee shops. Inside the house is super cute, and cozy - with a great kitchen to cook in, but still be a part of whats going on. We just loved the whole thing, and the bedroom/bathroom breakdown was perfect for us. They were also very communicative and responded so quickly whenever there was a question or concern we had. We would 100% stay there again, the girls even said they'd love to make this an annual trip to stay at this house.

Fun Family time
by Karen
5/5
The house was great and perfect for our family of 11. ( ages 1 to 68!)The boys loved the tree house and the swings and of course the pool! The adults loved the pool too but really enjoyed the spacious and shaded wrap around porch. And all of the gorgeous trees. We all enjoyed the closeness of the river and spent quite a bit of time there too. ( one suggestion I have would be to remove the picture and amenity for the ping pong table. The shed was not someplace I would want my grandkids to spend time in plus one ping pong paddle was broken). All in all it was a wonderful weekend and we are ready to go back!
Manager's reply: Thank you so much for your amazing 5-star review! We are so happy to hear you and your family had such a wonderful time and enjoyed the new pool the owner recently had installed! We appreciate you mentioning the ping pong paddle in your review so that we can get a new one. Should anything ever need our focus, we want our guests to know that we'll gladly return and provide that. We're open 24/7 to in-house guests, so there's never a time that's not good to reach out. We look forward to your next visit with us! Thank you for being our guests!

Loved this place. The pool was perfect and we didn't realize we were so close to the river too. Wimberley is to die for. The house was clean and beds were comfortable. The kitchen had what we needed to cook several meals and grill too. I can't think of anything bad to say. I was so fun.

Perfect Hill Country House
by Jennifer

This place is great! Very clean, lots of kitchen utensils and big enough so the family could spread out. I read past reviews about the king and queen beds but we found the beds had been replaced and were very comfortable. The pool was perfect for our teenagers and we had water volleyball tournaments most every day during our stay. A few days we ventured out to local wineries and breweries and even visited some cute shops in Wimberly. Overall our vacation was perfect and we loved the house. Thanks!

This was a family weekend with 6 adults and 4 children. Plenty of room for everyone although one bedroom was really small. The pool was a hit with the children. Too cold for the adults.

We had an AMAZING time on our family vacation!! The location is so beautiful peaceful! Even though there are other houses around it feels very private and secluded. The kids had a blast with the ping pong table in the little shed, the swings on the huge oak tree and the hidden tree fort. The new pool is beautiful and refreshing! Yes, as some reviews state the noise carries in the house but it wasn't any different than any two story house. Once kids were instructed how to walk it was perfectly fine. It was also really nice having HEB 8min away and being able to walk down to the Blanco River. SkyRun was also very helpful in answering question we had during our stay. If you're trying to decide, just book it and enjoy!!

If you're looking for a place to sleep a lot of people, this is a great option! We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor porch and deck space - plenty of space to spread out and run around. The proximity to Wimberley was also very convenient. Sound does travel in the house so keep that in mind if you are traveling with babies/toddlers.

This house was great for the two families that stayed. Plenty of sleeping places and great space for all eating together. The kids enjoyed the rope swing and all the property immensely. The queen/full bed downstairs has a box/foundation that squeaks unbearably but we put the mattress on the floor and slept well. We recommend this property and the location. Wimberley is lovely. Oh the kitchen could use sharper knives. Other than that all was great. And the kitchen has lots of dishes and pans and also many dry condiments and coffee filters which is a bonus and the bathrooms had body wash which was a nice surprise :)

We really enjoyed our stay at this property and will definitely consider it again.

Shepherd's Lodge made for a great Hill Country weekend getaway. It's in a fantastic location, right on the Blanco River and close to everything you'd want to do in Hill Country. It's a big, quiet property and the house is well-stocked and very clean. We were a group of six and everyone had more than enough space for themselves.

Nice House, Good location, Mattresses need upgraded
by Justin
4/5
We stayed 4 nights with a group of 9 (2 Adult couples, 3 teens and 2 pre-teens).The house and grounds are as pictured. It was a very nice and peaceful setting. We made great use of the deck and porch in the mornings and evenings to drink coffee/wine and watch the deer. It was also nice to have an on-demand water heater so we could take multiple back-to-back showers when we got home from the river.The location is great as well....just 5 minutes from Wimberley and close all of our favorite spots (Blanco, Canyon Lake, San Marcos, Spring Branch, etc). We walked down to the river, but never did get in near the house. Not much shade there, and nowhere to park but still an easy walk and nice place to get wet.The only complaint we had is that the upstairs King and Queen beds were terribly uncomfortable. My wife and I are not large people, yet I rolled into a hole and could feel the springs in my back on the King bed. After 3 restless nights I tried the upstairs queen but didn't have much better luck. No springs in my back but very little support. We loved the house, but I don't know if I could have stayed much longer just due to lack of sleep. Mattresses are a cheap fix so hopefully they will put the money into upgrading them.

Family Get-Away
by Mike
5/5
Beautiful home!!!! We were blown away when we walked in. The home is immaculate!! The layout is perfect and the interior is decorated to perfection. The home was SUPER CLEAN from top to bottom. It is a short 3 min walk down to the Blanco river. Our kids enjoyed the spacious property adorned with tree swings and plenty of room to play ball. They found the ping-pong table located in the back shed which made for many battles throughout the evenings. To top it off....We had a daily deer visitor which came right up to the back porch, as well as evening fireflies to light up the night sky. Overall, this was just what our family needed. WE WILL BE BACK!!
Manager's reply: Thank you so much for your amazing 5-star review! We appreciate you being our guest and hope to have you back very soon!

Thank you so much for hosting us in your space. We had plenty of room to spend time as a group, the kitchen was large and well stocked, and the beds were comfortable. The house was only about 5 minutes from downtown but felt so secluded. We loved our time in Wimberley and loved our stay at SkyRun

WEDDING WEEKEND
by Kathy
4/5
We all had a wonderful time at the Shepherd's Lodge. That being said there were a couple of areas that need improvement. The queen bed downstairs is awful, awful! NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. My sister could not sleep well on it. We could not get the t.v. in the master bedroom to work and no instructions. The ceiling fan stopped working in the other bedroom upstairs where the queen bed is. Could not use the fireplace, supposedly a no burn weekend. The toilets seats are very small - probably old or cheaper ones. The last thing is that it does hold 12 people BUT only 3 bathrooms and only 4 cars allowed. We did ask to increase that to 5 with no problem.We had a good time - nice place - might go back.
Manager's reply: Thank you so much for being our guest. We understand that bed comfort is very subjective from guest to guest - some prefer soft, while others prefer firm, so we do our best to provide mattresses that appeal to those without a particular need either way. The fireplace is available, even with the outdoor burn ban. We're sorry that was somehow misunderstood. Our advertisement does state 3 bathrooms for guests to observe prior to booking, but if guests prefer more bathrooms for their party, just give us a call and we'll see if we can find you the perfect accommodations. Our customer service department is open to in-house guests 24/7 for any questions or concerns during their stay. We're happy to help our guests anytime. Thank you so much for being our guest, and we're so glad you had a good time!

Very clean home and tastefully decorated.Nice spacious kitchen and living areas with a beautiful fireplace to enjoy. Plenty of bathrooms. We truly enjoyed the large yard for the kids to play and run around. They had a great time playing baseball, ball, swings and of course the tree house.The adults enjoyed the large patio with plenty of chairs and tables.We had a memorable four days of family time there
We love this family home and are so glad that yours felt it to be cozy and well appointed to meet your vacation needs. We'd love to have you back again the next time you're out this way!!

One things we feel should be mentioned..the large bedroom on the first floor has a number of screws sticking out of the wall near the headboard. My friends had to cover them so they didn't get scratched. Maybe they could be removed.We all had a very relaxing and enjoyable

Fantastic property! Exactly as advertised. The cabin itself is stylish, clean, and had everything we needed, and the spacious patio made for great evenings.

We would absolutely stay here again!

We stayed for 2-nights with 3 couples and 2 kids (ages 1 and 2). All of us were comfortable due to size of the house and many bedrooms. They have all the right cooking tools and appliances with an H-E-B just down the road for a grocery run. The house was just a short walk (~5 minutes) to the river, and the bridge portion of the river the house is near was very private! Thanks!

Bible Study Sisters Retreat

Everything was perfect. Everyone loved the house, the deck, the wildflowers were spectacular, the quiet and peaceful acreage was just what we wanted for visiting, sharing, and feeling God's presence all around us. We loved lunch at Lindas and JoBells, and even checked out the Wimberly Winery and sat out in their park area for a couple of hours on our way into Wimberly. After a delicious lunch on the outdoor patio at JoBells rustic little house, we even found the rum distillery on Jacobs Well Road.

We rented this house for my 40th birthday trip and it was perfect. 12 adults stayed the weekend and we had plenty of room to relax. We also rented the adjacent cottage for an additional 2 couples and it was perfect. This house has a beautiful outdoor area and is close to downtown. The customer service was impeccable too. I had a million questions and they were always super helpful, professional, and kind. The house was very clean as was the cottage and the outdoor area. I highly recommend this house.

Beautiful Country Vacation Home!
by Crystal
5/5
My family and extended family (a total of 3 adults and 6 children) stayed the week at Shepherd's Lodge. The home was the perfect location for a nice, hill country getaway. The layout of the house was great to give everyone space to have alone time when needed, or to all come together in the common areas to eat dinner, watch movies and eat dinner. Our absolute favorite space was the outdoor area, specifically the back porch. We would enjoy our morning coffee on the back porch every day as well as play cards.

There were nine of us staying in the house and we never felt crowded. There was a lot of space! It is truly a lovely home! We had nightly visits from deer.

We stayed three nights at this house with six adults and five kids under the age of seven. The pictures and description are pretty accurate. The property was great, and although the street was somewhat well-traveled, it was still very relaxing to sit outside on the porch and deck. There was plenty of wildlife to watch and areas for the kids to play outside. You can walk to the river, or take a short drive the Blue Hole or Jacobs Well (we went swimming at all three places).

This home is in a great location, well equipped with everything you could need and feels very much like home. We selected it back in October for our April women's getaway weekend. We will rent it again. Only two issues that are easily resolved, clean both coffee makers with vinegar or replace them. The one-pot took over 2 hours to brew a pot of coffee. Have instructions for the TV to access local stations for the news and weather. Other than that there is not one thing we would change about this house. Can't wait.

This spot was absolutely ideal for multiple families to meet up and spend quality time in the Texas Hill Country. The property offered so many options outdoors to allow the kids to get out and get some fresh air. The sleeping arrangements were perfect with the bunkhouse and 4 other rooms. We were very pleased with this place and would come back to the same property in the future. Highly recommended.

The weather wasn't the best, but it did not stop us from enjoying the property.

They had soap/shampoo, basic cooking spices, and utensils.

By the time we arrived my kids and I were worn out and exhausted. Walking into Shepherds Lodge, we immediately felt comfortable, as if walking into our own home. This spacious home had plenty of places for my kids to explore, run and play, without having to worry about bothering neighbors. Every couch and bed was comfortable and inviting, with plenty of room for us to spread out when we needed some alone time. The staff at Vacay is also very easy to work with, always a phone call away if we needed anything.

8 of us in town for a wedding. Plenty of room - a wonderful deck for drinking coffee and deleting work emails in the morning. The large oak tree and string lights really added to the charm for evenings. We did not use the kitchen much - too many great places to eat (Salt Lick for brisket - Mima's for breakfast tacos) but plenty of glassware and dishes. Closets could use a few more hangers and a couple of bedrooms didn't have a closet for hanging suits and dresses. But we made do without much fuss.

Shepherd's Lodge was the perfect getaway for our family. The bunk room, with its built-ins, was a huge hit. We grilled several meals on the gas grill. We spent countless hours watching deer, raccoons, squirrels and a road runner from the porch. Huge yard for games. Close enough to town but far enough away to see stars at night.

5/5
We thoroughly enjoyed our extended weekend at Shepherd's Lodge. The home is gorgeous. The owners have done a great job of making sure everything you need is well stocked. We just needed to bring our food, clothes, and toothbrush. ;) Our three boys loved the ping pong barn, treehouse, and tree swings. There is a cute sitting area on the front porch with a checkers table where many games of checkers were played over the weekend. The neighborhood where the house is located is really quiet and peaceful.

We had a group of 8 adults staying at the house for a friends wedding. Working with Aaron was very easy and the house was beautifully decorated, cozy, and exceptionally clean! The kitchen was stocked with all the essentials. The backyard was HUGE. Kitchen and living room were great for our big group. Each of the rooms were very nice sized. The patio was great for morning coffee and reading! Overall great experience and highly recommend! Thank you!
Perfect hill country home :)

My husband and I started a tradition a few years back with another couple where we rent a home for Valentine's weekend in the hill country. Since none of us had ever been to Wimberley before, we decided to make it this year's destination. Initially, another couple was going to make the trip as well, so we looked for a home with enough space for 6 adults to get around in comfortably. Shepherd's Lodge would have been/was perfect for that! The home is on a large lot that offers plenty to do outside.

December 2015 Stay

We loved oue atay ar Shepherds Lodge! The house was perfect for our needs in terms of giving the family enough space to separate or hang out together for dinner. The land with the property was a great adventure playground for our two year old grandson. And sitting on the decking or porch of an early morning or eveninf was peaceful and beautiful. I really hope we have an opportunity to stay in this great house again. We didn't want to leave!
Wonderful Retreat!

I rented The Shepherd's Lodge for a girls' weekend getaway, and it was absolutely perfect! We enjoyed everything from mornings and evenings on the porch, to watching College Football in the living room, to cooking in the kitchen, to sleeping in the super comfortable beds. Aaron and Scott at the rental office were available and helpful every time I contacted them (prior to and during the visit). We loved it and hope to come back some day!

My family along with 2 others shared this beautiful home for the weekend and loved it!! The kids had a blast just being outside on the swings, sandbox, riding the tricycle, tree house, and ping pong. The adults loved the deck at night enjoying our grilled dinner under the stars gorgeous!! Inside of the house is gorgeous design and architecture if you love farmhouse which I do the porch is amazing also!!! Enough room for a group to be together or have space when needed :) .. Close to town.

My family and I stayed at this beautiful house during Christmas. It was very clean, spacious, comfortable, and a close drive to some nice restaurants and cool shops. We wanted something that was big enough to house all 14 of us, and it worked out very well. I can't think of any bad experiences or any reason we won't book this place again. I highly recommend it!
Kid Friendly Vacation Spot
by S.
5/5
Traveling with young kids often presents a number of challenges. Not so at Shepherd's Lodge-it is a very enjoyable family vacation spot. There is a ton of outdoor room for the kids to run around and explore. There is also a large sandbox/play area with swings as well as a kid friendly bunkbed room. Great spot to vacation for the entire family!
