Blanco River · Wimberley, Texas
Cypress shade by the Blanco: the Wimberley river cottage we reserve for two
from$430for two sharing, 2 nights, $215 per person
Of the eleven stays we plan, this Wimberley river cottage sits nearest to our Austin office: a cottage at a small cottage resort where Cypress Creek runs into the Blanco River, two nights for two people. We pick the dates with you, ask the resort whether the cottage is open on those nights, and send a single written quote before anything is held.
The Blanco is a river that lives on rain. It is at its fullest after a wet spring, and it can run thin by late summer, so we plan this cottage for the months when the water usually has the most to give.

A cottage under cypress trees where the creek meets the Blanco
You sleep in one cottage at a cottage resort set along Cypress Creek and the Blanco River in Wimberley. The cottage is meant for two people sharing, and the resort runs its own front desk, so you register there on arrival and settle your account with the resort directly.
Tall cypress trees shade the resort along the creek. What the cottage holds inside, and which unit you get, is set by the resort; we put the exact unit name in your quote once the resort confirms it.

from$430for two sharing, 2 nights, $215 per person
We built this figure from our working rate of $211 a night for a cottage two can share, times two nights, rounded up to from $430 for two, or from $215 per person. The rates we could read show no mandatory fee on top, and the quote carries the resort's own figures. Hotel taxes are added by the resort at checkout, and the final amount is confirmed in your written quote. Our planning and the quote itself cost you nothing; the office earns its commission from the resort after you go home.
Blanco gauge at Wimberley over thirty years
We read this river from the federal stream gauge on the Blanco at Wimberley, using thirty years of monthly records from 1996 to 2025. In a typical May the river there carries about 68.6 cubic feet per second; in a typical August it carries about 23.2. That means August keeps roughly 34% of the water May had.
That figure puts Wimberley in the rain-fed group of our catalog. Rainfall decides most of the flow, so a cottage here is a trip for the wetter months, when spring rain or a wet fall has had a chance to fill the Blanco.
Spring storms and early fall rain on the Blanco
We plan this cottage for April through June and again for October. Those are the months when the Blanco has its best chance of running well, either from spring storms or from the rains that sometimes return in early fall.
This fall has been unusually dry. Over the 30 days to 29 October 2026, provisional gauge data showed the Blanco at Wimberley near 6 cubic feet per second, against an October median of about 46. Water here depends on rain, so your written quote describes the river as it actually stands that week, and we make no promises about swimming or floating.
Refund and change terms from the Wimberley resort
In writing you get the resort's name, the cottage, both nights and the figure for those exact dates, with Texas state hotel tax of 6% and the local hotel tax on lines of their own, plus the rules the resort applies to any change or refund.
The resort publishes no nightly rate of its own, so the $211 behind this page is our working figure, drawn from rates shown for its cottages on 30 October 2026. It can move once the resort prices your dates, and the amount in your written quote is the one that counts.
38 miles southwest down into the hills
From our west Austin office the trip is about 38 miles, roughly 57 minutes by the usual way without traffic. You leave the city heading southwest through the hills and come down into Wimberley, which makes this an easy Friday afternoon start.
