The house offers over 2,800 square feet of space for family entertainment. With two large living areas, three dining areas (2 indoor and 1 outdoor), fire pit, hot tub and bocce ball court Casa Grande is perfect for family or large group gatherings. My cell phone is provided to you so if you have any issues during your stay you can feel free to call or email me. We have several contacts in the Wimberley area that can help with any maintenance need that may arise during your stay. We are located 5 minutes from the Wimberley square, but you feel that you're out in the country. From our riverfront acreage you can only see two other homes and all of our neighbors are on larger acreage properties (8+ acres). Approximately one week before your arrival date we will email you our check in details with the gate and door codes. One living area is the extraordinary 'River Room.' Stunning views of the Blanco River below beckon from three walls of windows. Open the windows and enjoy the sounds of the river rapids. The second living area is a club-like setting wrought from the original cabin. The spacious master suite includes a king size bed, a comfortable sitting area, television, and a private bath. (PLEASE NOTE: If your dates aren't available on our calendar, please try The Wimberley Retreat, our other large home on a separate 10 acre property.) Relax and Enjoy the Property: Located just off the River Room, you will find a wonderful, large outdoor hot tub. It is a private place to unwind while admiring the brilliant stars above and the murmuring headwaters of the Upper Blanco River below. Follow the limestone steps near the hot tub down to the 600+ feet of private river access below. The river will invite you to swim or wade in its cool waters and leave all worries behind. Or grab your fishing rod! Fly Fishing magazine identifies the Upper Blanco River areas as '. . . one of the best fly fishing spots in Texas.' Bring your kayak or canoe, and don't forget the floats and water shoes for tubing down the rapids. There’s plenty of room along the river to enjoy a picnic lunch, an afternoon nap or book, or a gorgeous sunrise or sunset on the banks of the Blanco River. Located only 5 minutes from Wimberley Square, this home completes the perfect hill-country getaway without sacrificing any of the charm (or shopping opportunities) that Wimberley has to offer. Enjoy the grounds: The forty acres of grass and woods provide ample space to run, throw a ball or frisbee, play kickball or softball, hike in the woods, or chase lizards, frogs and fish. Sit out on the flagstone patio overlooking the river and grill out burgers on the Weber grill. Grab a cool drink and play a game of bocce ball or horseshoes on the court with the family. After the sun goes down you can also enjoy the fire pit to cook marshmallows or warm up on a cool fall or winter Hill Country evening. Watch for the many deer who live on the property, especially in the early morning. Friendly ducks from the river often visit at the house as well. Casa Grande at Shade Ranch is perfect for groups of all kinds. The kitchen is equipped with all appliances, extensive food and drink preparation and serving ware, and indoor/outdoor dishes to accommodate any large meal. The children’s nook area provides age appropriate movies, books, videos, puzzles, games and toys for hours of entertainment and an opportunity for the adults to visit in the other common areas. Movies and books and games for adults are also provided, as is a cable TV/DVD player and music system. Whether you are planning a ladies getaway trip, couples gathering, team-building session for a small group, multi-generation family get together, a mini-reunion, a crafts or outlet shopping or winery tour, or celebrating a special birthday or milestone, Shade Ranch will provide all of the privacy, space, and amenities your group will need. Area Attractions: Explore the areas around Wimberley by visiting Gruene, TX and the historic Gruene Hall and the Guadalupe River; Visit the Driftwood and Duchman wineries nearby or partake in some stellar Texas BBQ at the Salt Lick. There are plenty of opportunities for shopping in town for antiques and crafts or visit the San Marcos outlet stores 15 miles away. We also have a one bedroom/one bathroom house on the same 40 acres that is available for rent if you have a larger group that would like additional room. The Little House is also listed.. The two houses are completely separate and don't share anything other than the acreage. They sit approximately 100 yards apart and each have their own patios, hot tubs, grills, fire pits, etc. We also own another Blanco riverfront property, The Wimberley Retreat, that is available for vacation rentals online. It is a 5 bedroom/5 bathroom property with a pool on 10 private acres. You'll need a car to get around, but you can walk to the town square in about 20 minutes or ride a bike. The grocery stores, gas station and lots of great restaurants are only 5 minutes away by car. Shade Ranch consists of 40 private acres and 600+ feet of Blanco riverfront land. There are two houses on the property that we make available, Casa Grande and the Little House. The Little House is a 1 bedroom/1 bathroom home of 1000 square feet. The two houses are completely separate and don't share anything other than the land. They each have their own hot tubs, patios, grills and fire pits. The houses sit approximately 100 yards apart and are separated by a bank of cedar trees and a cedar privacy fence. Given the property sits on a bluff there is one pathway down to the river. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - On a river - On the waterfront ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,800 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34140000/34138900/34138806/face373f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Whispering Ridge Ranch I Swimming Pool, Hot Tub, Dogs, Hill Country Views Wimberley - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 8.8 Excellent 88 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-31&endDate=2025-11-01&selected=34138806&PinnedHotelID=34138806&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/46000000/45250000/45248900/45248848/a91e0fc9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Deep Water on the Blanco- Wimberley riverfront close to town, 5 bed, 6 bath!

But more than all that fun day we just thoroughly enjoyed the large river house at Shade Ranch. What a magical, wonderful home!

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! ##### Lisa R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### tracy C.

We really enjoyed our time here and would definintley return. It would be great for any kind of gathering. Only issue would be if you have problems walking or climbing steps, but worth it! Was disappointed the fire places were not functional, It was one of the reasons I picked this property, but we made good use of the fire pit outside. From 2 yrs to 64, we all enjoyed our time there. Never used the little house, but it was cute. Look forward to going back in warmer weather. Thanks! ##### tracy C.

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! ##### Lisa R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth M.

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! ##### Elizabeth M.

This was our third time renting this property and enjoyed it greatly. The property was clean and well stocked. Enjoyed the new big screen TVs. This property is well located on the Blanco. Even with a drought going on, the natural rock formations make a nice 4-5 ft swimming hole. We are already planning our next return. Thank you Robert and VRBO. ##### Russell A.

We’ve stayed in many vacation rentals and this one is definitely top 3. The real thing is even better than the pictures. Fun layout to the house. Great mix of original home, updates, decor. Very clean. Super peaceful, feels like home. The river was beautiful and private while we were there. Plenty of depth. All the supplies for cooking , bathing etc are there. (Just bring river towels. ) I’m a pretty picky renter, if you are too you will have no issues with this home. We’d rent it again in a heartbeat ! ##### Debbie D.
