Our stay was so wonderful. My son moved to San Marcos to go to college and we stayed here when we moved him in to make a fun family vacation out of it. This is where I want to stay every time we visit him! First of all, it’s a dome house, which everyone thought was super cool. And super roomy with plenty of room for my family of 5. There was a beautiful outdoor area and you can walk down to the river. And the stars - oh my goodness!!! I still think about it. We brought our dog and could just walk outside with him and let him run. It was on several acres with lots of trees and was so secluded, quiet and peaceful . And the beds were so comfortable. I highly recommend the Dome Home as we called it, and can’t wait to stay there again!!!

I would like to start by saying I have stayed at this exact property before, about six years ago. Not sure if management changed or got lazy, but our second experience was a nightmare. There is an active infestation of German Cockroaches in the home. We found roaches all over the kitchen, AND in the bedrooms. One had even crawled into a pack and play where an infant was sleeping!!
If that wasn't disgusting enough, there was what looked like a blood stain in the laundry room. A simple wipe with a wet paper towel started to lift the stain so it was obvious that the space had simply not been cleaned. We peeked under the couch and it was again obvious that no one had professionally cleaned in months.
There was also one garbage bag and one paper towel roll provided. A small complaint I would have looked over, if there weren't so many other things completely wrong, including the fact that the outdoor garbage cans were already overflowing with trash.
I would have loved to contact management and complain about these issues; however, there is NO cell service AND NO WIFI on the property. Thankfully, I took many photos to document every issue.
Overall, I regret coming back to this place and will not be staying at any other properties managed by Hill Country Premiere Lodging.

The countertops and table were sticky and covered in food. We had to wipe everything down as soon as we got there as well as sweep. The listing stated there were double beds, there were none. Only 2 kings beds and a bunch of single beds. Not ok for 3 couples. The house was infested with german cockroaches. All of our belongings are now tied up in black trash bags outside as to not infest our house as well. We were only given one and a half extra rolls of toilet paper for 7 people as well as only 1 extra trash bag. Due to the intense amount of cockroach activity, the lack of toilet paper, and the level of the river, which we were told before booking was full (it was not), we all decided to leave a day early. A refund for a night and the cleaning fee would be much appreciated since we couldn’t stay and had to clean upon arrival.

Spacious house and nice outside areas for entertaining. The fire pit is great for making smores and the lower patio has amazing views. River access is a little walk but once you're at the water there is another patio area perfect for getting ready to float or just relax and fish. With 4 kids and 4 adults the house had plenty of room without feeling cramped. We will definitely be back!

The dome is more like a cabin from the sixties, and it feels like it's stuck in the nineties. Overall, things were clean, but it was stale inside. The place is worn down. It has a peat problem with German roaches everywhere. The river has a long walk down. Driving to the river is hard because of the tight turns. The biggest problem was the scorpions... 4 in one day is excessive, especially with an infant. This house wasn’t very child friendly. Overall, the threat of scorpions in the house cause me to flee the house after one night. There was no credit or refund. Do not book if you have small children.

Beautiful and secluded property and river. The access to river and with the rock landing was great. The depth of water was a pleasant surprise considering the drought in Texas. The house was nice and comfortable, the kitchen had every thing we needed and the bedrooms were nice and spacious.

Property was acceptable, house was okay. It needs a deep cleaning, there was food under the couches.

Cute Dome House!
The house is super cute and fun. It could have been cleaner. The trash can was extremely dirty and some bugs in the kitchen. The upstairs isn’t completely “ceiling-ed” in so you can hear all conversations due to the shape. :) Coffee on the patio with a view in the mornings was a great way to start the day. The stone dock down by the river was the best part. Our stay was during the record heatwave so we had to drive down to it. If you visit in better weather it would be walkable. Pretty and peaceful. Overall it’s a fine place to stay to float the river in New Braunfels.

Fine but dingy
Not worth the cost. First issue is no wifi. I’m sure it’s probably in the description, but I didn’t even think to look for that, because who doesn’t have wifi? Without cell service or wifi, there was no way to contact the property management. Although it had the astringent burning cleaner smell when you walked in, the floors were dirty, the incredibly uncomfortable couch still had pet hair on it and a funky smell, the bed linens were musty smelling, and half the dishes we tried to use still had food on them because the dish washer soap dispenser door doesn’t open when it runs.
The patio is nice, but don’t expect peace and quiet, since there’s a neighboring sports complex, and their noise travels very well up the river valley and into your patio time. River access is also fine, but the river itself is only a couple feet deep and unshaded, so only enjoyable in the evening in summer.
I promise I wasn’t looking for things to complain about, I was just unpleasantly surprised at how overall dingy and unsatisfactory the place was. Would not recommend.

The outside property was excellent. The house was decent but definitely needed some attention. Read the reviews on this prior to booking so you know what to expect. The property is amazing if you love being outdoors! Great rental for large groups wanting a good price for river access.

The property was clean and comfortable. The stone patio overlooking the ridge outside was an AMAZING spot for morning coffee and conversation—one of my favorite parts of our trip. We took 2 kids and 2 dogs and they all loved it. The water was super cold in March but they were unfazed and had a great time playing in the water. Highly recommended and we would definitely come back.

The property is beautiful. The views are amazing, the river is lovely. The beds are comfortable & kitchen is fully stocked. The house has water damage that’s been kind of repaired. There were roaches everywhere…dishwasher was disgusting, a bottle of Raid greeted us at the door, roaches lived in oven, had to clean fridge of dead bugs & feces, didn’t keep any food out, threw everything out when we left, used our own clean towels & sheets. I told the management company and was told this was the first they heard of this, which is surprising since there were so many (& the Raid). This is not something they could fix while we were there (it takes time to get rid of roaches & we didn’t want someone spraying poison where our kids & dogs were.) The management company has many reviews regarding lack of cleanliness of their properties, but we came prepared to clean if necessary because we aren’t very picky. There were moths and spiders, which don’t really bother us as we are in the country, however, it was clear they had a roach infestation. We go for the outdoors, not the indoors. Again, the land is beautiful and it is so sad that the home is infested.

great overall
the property was great, it was quiet and secluded. it was a bit hard to find since the gps wasnt super accurate. i thought it said on the website but maybe i didnt read it, it does not have wifi, wich isnt a big issue but can be for some (you still have pretty good phone reception). they have several grills and firewood and beautiful patios to lounge on. the stars are very bright b.c there is no light pollution so its awesome to sit outside (just be sure to bring a flashlight). house was pretty spacious, (walls are a bit thin) but thats no big deal. cute little rustic house, will definitely come again.

Everything was amazing. The house was a lot bigger than what it looks. Beds were supper comfortable. The veiw went perfect with our morning coffee. Loved the porch, and fire pit at night was perfect. The river was amazing we did walk down the first time, it was very steep but we made it. The seating are by the water was great. My only complaint is mabe adding a rail to walk down the steps to the water. This location was amazing, very cleam. Check in and check out was super simple. I would definitely be booking this place again in the future.

This property is so beautiful! The private access to a relatively untouched river makes this place a hidden gem. My friends and I absolutely loved this place. The only suggestion would be some potential updates but that really wasn’t a big deal. I was more worried about cleanliness, but the property was very very clean! Be prepared to deal with a few bugs simply because this is located in nature. Overall, very lovely experience. We plan on coming back!

This home has a great location and great square footage. The home is in dire need of repairs, the upstairs bedroom with the king bed has a leak under the window seal with damage and crumbling wet sheet rock. The cleaning team was still there at check in time and left a wad of hair on the bathroom floor downstairs. The home is in dire need of pest control, pill bugs and stink bugs everywhere indoors. The garbage cans were full upon arrival. The nightly price is excessive with these kinds of issues.

This property is wonderful for a quiet get away, relaxing by the fire pit, and enjoying the River. Sunset was absolutely beautiful! View was great!
The house itself has a unique design, great lighting from skylights, and plenty of room for our family of 7 who stayed there for a wedding. The kitchen was well appointed, and we love to have the luxury of a laundry room.
The only problem we had with our stay, was the lack of supplies. There was one small, hotel size bath soap for 7 people ( and I had made a reservation for 9.) There was no dish soap, dishwasher soap, detergent, or broom. And there was only one trash bag. So we had to make extra trips to purchase things we needed.
That being said, there is no place like Wimberley for an enjoyable week-end or month long vacation! It is an amazing slice of heaven!

Secluded location, not to far from town. Kind of felt like staying at your parents summer house in the hills. Comfortable beds, but could use another queen size bed instead of the twin size beds for my group. Great outside patio's with firepit. Plenty of room to have the fire going and still play cornhole. Fantastic view down to the river, with private road to bring the group and supplies to and from. Lots of deer in the morning and afternoon. The house does carry sound, so if you like white noise when you sleep, bring a fan. Otherwise you can hear peoples conversation from any room. If this property was for sale, I would buy it. Enjoyed the stay and will do it again.

As amazing as the pictures look, lots of space with lots of great hang out areas, indoor and out. The river front is a little bit down, but there's a driveway that is easy to drive dow for anyone with difficulty walking. The entrance can be easy to drive by, look for the garbage bin and the large metal numbers on the gate.
