The location and the view was amazing. The place was neat and clean but the kettle and the dishwasher were not clean at all. The sink had some smell when turned on the water in the bedroom on the first floor.
We had a wonderful time and all pictures were very accurate of the space. Beautiful decor inside and a fun time to get out in the country and away from the city for our 4 kids age 6-15.
Quiet, peaceful get-away. Fantastic patio and view setting (rolling hills and trees, birds) to relax and enjoy. Only used the first and second rooms (not the 3rd / top floor at all) and everything was very nice. Comfy beds. Would certainly return.
We stayed for 4 nights with our family. Great property--definitely remote and peaceful but very close to the great town of Wimberley. Rental was clean and pretty much as advertised. A few light bulbs need to be replaced and they only supplied one roll of paper towels and a few garbage bags so bring those if you are staying for a few days and cooking, etc.
We had the best stay at Southwind! The hidden bedroom was perfect for 4 of our 5 kids with plenty of space for each of them to sleep and play. The master bedroom fit me, my husband and our almost 2 year old with lots of room to spare! The two remaining bedrooms were perfect for my sister and father with their own private bathrooms. Our kids loved exploring the property and just being kids unplugged! We loved this spacious, clean, modern home for our stay in Wimberly. Everything was as pictured and as described. Super easy check -in/out process. We can’t wait to visit again!
House was clean and great location.The road to get to the house is a gravel road and quite steep. The minivan we drove it was sliding around trying to get up and bottomed out a couple of times.Also the kitchen is nice but short on cooking/baking items. Should purchase a knife set and a decent set of pots and pans and baking trays for guests to use.There was no firewood provided for the fire pit.
Great house on a great property right outside town
The house is beautiful with an amazing property and great views. Its 5-10 minutes away from tons of cool things to do like Jacob's well, the blue hole and all the fun downtown Wimberly has to offer. As mentioned in a few other reviews, there are not a lot of pots and pans. One frying pan to be exact. We solved for this with aluminum cooking trays from HEB. The house seemed pretty clean but the floor was filthy, the kids feet turned black after walking through barefoot and when we went to clean up spilled water by the fridge the paper towel from the floor was pretty bad. The grill ran out of propane and no one responded immediately so we went into heb and got a replacement but we heard back from the management company the following day and they did reimburse for the cost. I mentioned the floor and pans just for awareness, it would not prevent us from going here again. Definitely should mention the road is unpaved, very rocky and has some steep sections for sure. We enjoyed a lot of time on the patio taking in the view and the decor/layout of the house is welcoming and enjoyable. We took several walks just around the property enjoying the views as well. We would definitely return.
The property itself is very beautiful and we had an amazing time together in a quiet and tranquil area. Communication with the owners was simple and efficient. We would absolutely stay again!
We enjoyed our stay at Southwind. Everything was clean and as pictured. My only recommendation is to update the signage to reflect "Southwind" and delete the lock box info since it's not applicable.
House is super cute and beautiful property. Kitchen is very limited on supplies to use so if you plan on cooking a lot bring your own supplies. Overall, very pleased with our stay.
Had a group of 9 of us together for a graduation at Texas State University. It was a great stay. Plenty of room for everyone, clean and a great location. Minutes from Wimberly, 20 min from San Marcos, 45 min to Austin and an Hour to San Antonio. Sayed for a week and really enjoyed it! Firepit is awesome, even saw some deer on the property! Highly recommend I'd certainly stay again.
Overall good stay. A few things to mention. The road to the house is gravel and a bit steep. We were spinning tires a few times. The home wireless worked about 5% of the time. We relied on our cell data.I do recommend this property.
Southwind at the Bend was a wonderful location for our family to enjoy Wimberley. Many meals were savored, and games played around the large table in the kitchen. Everyone was comfortable in their own bedroom space with individual A/C units/thermostats. The peaceful surroundings really helped us all feel like we were really getting away from it all. Very clean and appointed. Would rebook in a heartbeat.
They provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay including throw blankets, nice soaps, bath salts, completely stocked kitchen.
The house is beautifully renovated and has beautiful artwork throughout.
The fire pit is huge and we had a wonderful evening sitting around the fire pit under the stars.
Our only complaint was that the house felt warm in the common areas at mid-afternoon.
