Left Fork- Private pool, fire pits, stargazing

If you are ready to embark on a Hill Country Getaway to remember, don’t follow the crowd…take the Left Fork.

This unique and charming vacation rental located in the heart of the Blanco River Region of the Texas Hill Country sits conveniently located between two popular destinations. Wimberley, known for it’s abundance of artists and charming town square is only minutes away. Driftwood, home of the original Saltlick BBQ restaurant as well as several popular wineries and vineyards is just a few minutes in the other direction.

As you turn down the drive to this cottage you will see the Longhorn cattle grazing in the field as you make your way to your destination. As you climb the stairs to the entry door you will notice the lovely seating area under the covered patio complete with propane grill. Once you enter the home, you cannot help but be enchanted by the rustic elegance of the tastefully selected furnishings and décor.

The open kitchen living and dining are both spacious and comfortable. The open ceiling with exposed beams add to the rustic flair while the beautifully updated kitchen provides balance to the décor. There is one full bathroom upstairs with a walk in shower and a sleeping loft off the living area with a twin daybed.

The two bedrooms are located downstairs where they can share another full bath complete with clawfoot tub and hand held shower attachment. Laundry facilities are also available for guest use for your convenience.

If you are looking to spend time outside, you cannot find a better spot! The unique pool is a definite focal point. A traditional “in-ground” pool but raised to fit with the rustic ambiance of the surroundings. The pool is 5 feet deep and provides a perfect place to cool down in the hot summer months. There is a picturesque outdoor dining area under the majestic oaks and a cozy fire pit, perfect for an evening under the stars.

Whatever your reason for visiting the Hill Country, you won’t regret the choice to take the Left Fork!

Great Getaway!
My sisters and I and my mom stayed here for Mother's Day wknd and really enjoyed the house and property. It was very quiet and private and clean. It's also very cute and within 10 min or so to Wimberly. The weather didn't cooperate for us to enjoy the pool, but that's a nice bonus when it's warm out. I would definitely stay here again!

Cutest little spot in the hills!
We loved staying here! Driving through the hills to get there is just as charming as when you arrive! Nice and secluded, surrounded by trees and the cutest longhorn cows! The house is adorable and cozy, with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the space. We were nervous about what the bug situation would be like, and the owners were quick to respond and reassure us that they have routine pest control come through. So while we did find a few small dead ones in the bedroom (thank you, pest control!), we had no other issue with bugs in the house. Definitely brace yourself for mosquitos and other fun guys outside, but that's a sacrifice one must make for the beautiful seclusion this home has to offer! The owners always responded to our questions in a decent time frame, and were quick to pick up the emergency line and help when we thought we'd locked ourselves out. We were so thrilled with this find, and hope to stay here again in the future!

Perfect until Checkout
This place is awesome. Totally private, beautiful, clean, and fun for my whole family. Check out is at 10am. However the laminated guest booklet in the living room says 11am. This caused some confusion. Whether checkout is 10 or 11 we found out odd that a cleaning lady showed up at 9:59 parked right outside our bedroom window. that would be our only negative comment on what was, overall, a fantastic stay.

Great family trip!
We stayed for 3 nights with 3 little kids, 7 and under, and this house was a perfect fit! We want to come back again when it's warm enough to enjoy the swimming pool.
