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!

Peaceful Getaway
My husband and I wanted to disconnect and relax for a few days and this property was perfect. Check-in and out was stress free. The cottage was nice and cozy. The pool was always cool and inviting. We had longhorn and deer visitors on two separate mornings. There are plenty of places to eat and things to see in Driftwood or just a short drive away in Wimberly. We absolutey enjoyed our stay and will book again!

Private, Peaceful, Wonderful
My wife and I stayed here for a couple nights for our 15th wedding anniversary. We absolutely loved it. It's very private shielded by thick trees, so even though you could hear cars on the road, you don't come close to seeing the road. The pool is wonderful, and was the perfect temperature even when it was 105 degrees out! This is probably because beautiful live oaks shield it in both the morning and afternoon (and the pump/filter is a ways off, so the ground probably helps too). Anyway, we LOVED the pool. We also used the grill for one meal, and appreciated that. The bed was also comfortable. We'll definitely check out this listing in the future if we're able to get away for a couple days.

Ranch Getaway
This was an excellent find for my wife and me. The description is spot on. We loved that it’s on a working cattle ranch so we were able to see them frequently. The rental sits back nestled in a grove of trees giving us privacy, and the pool was wonderful to relax in. If you’re looking something in the country side, but still want to be close to activities in the area, this is a great spot. Remember that it’s in the country so don’t give bad revues about outdoor bugs or skimming some leaves out of the pool

Close country getaway
Home is close to town with the country setting. You can hear cars on the road but cant see them. The place has a rustic feel. Beds were loud but comfortable. Pillows were nice. Kitchen had all the necessities. Pool was clean and cool. Didnt seem like someone thoroughly cleans between guests. The floors were dusty. There were 3 different wifi passwords posted so we had to spend time trying to figure that out. Also, the cable and tv apps were lagging. I probably wouldn't choose to stay here again. But it was not a horrible stay.

Just what I needed
After a particularly grueling year as a school teacher, getting away from it all was in order. Left Fork fits that bill. You're in the middle of a longhorn cattle ranch. The house is lovely, comfortable, and well furnished. However, I think the biggest selling point is the pool. A short walk from the house and you're stepping into a cool, refreshing, and most importantly, relaxing pool of water that takes the edge off of the Texas heat. You hear insects and cattle and you can imagine that you're the only person for miles, even though you're not. The house is also close to a couple of good restaurants and coffee shops. I particularly like Salt Lick BBQ and Blanco Coffee. While we only stayed a couple of days, and so concentrated on doing practically nothing, there are many wineries, parks, and a couple of lovely squares if you want to explore. Highly recommended, and I hope to have the chance to stay there again soon.

One of the nicest VRBOs we have stayed at. The property was absolutely beautiful. Super clean and the beds were so comfy. Had everything we needed. The pool was definitely a plus.

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.

Hill country getaway
This property meet all expectations and then some. Perfectly secluded hill country getaway but still close enough to enjoy all that area has to offer. We visited San Marcos and Wimberley during our stay, and both were very short distances to drive. We wanted to visit that area but we had no desire to float the river so the unique pool was icing on the cake! The house is adorable and was a perfect layout for our family. We will definitely visit again.
