About this property

LAURA’S LODGE – BEAUTIFUL RIVER, KAYAKS, TUBES, HOT TUB - WELCOME!

Come use our kayaks, tubes and other river toys. Grill a juicy steak on the grilling porch and sit in the hot tub. Visit a nearby winery, shop in our charming downtown square. Go see the olive growers, the glass blowers or go zip lining.

Laura's Lodge is five miles to Market Days, which is held the first Saturday of every month. Three and a half miles to the downtown square. We have 300' of private waterfront on the Blanco River, and 75 feet is for Laura's guests exclusively. It has a new patio for Laura's guests only and next to a new ramp we created so the Ramsay's and their guests can easily get the toys in and out of the river with the kayaks.

This home has been elevated above the new flood plain for Wimberley. Hardwood floors, fully equipped kitchen, soft water and filtering system for drinking. Nice linens. Full-size washer and dryer. TVs. Wifi. Come relax. It doesn't get much better than this!

This house sleeps eight comfortably in four queen size beds in four separate bedrooms. There is a limit of six vehicles unless you ask the hosts. There is a strict 12-person minimum spending the night and that means you'll be responsible for bringing your own blowups and linens for the blowups. We provide all linens for our four queen size beds. We provide 12 towels and washcloths and guests have a full size washer and dryer.

Let's discuss dogs: We do allow dogs but no aggressive breeds. $50 per pet. Limit 2. Pet owners are responsible for their animals at all times. Pets must also be on a leash at all times when outdoors. Heavy shedders, please sweep and vacuum after your pets. If the dog that is brought is misrepresented as not being one of these prohibited dogs, the security deposit may be forfeited. They must be kept off the furniture and the beds. Please use dog gate that is provided to keep them out of the loft area.

We have a charcoal grill available for guests' use; however, the guest is to provide their own charcoal and lighter.

THIS HOME IS NOT WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE. NO DIVING IN THE RIVER, PLEASE!

Note: Please be careful with our river key. Our Homeowners Association charges us for key replacement, and it's a huge hassle. No more than 10 people are allowed in our neighborhood parks. The key for our coveted river parks is in the back of the book on the property, and the housekeeper checks for this when you leave. Thanks so much.

Thank you for your consideration. It's a privilege to host you.

Sincerely,
Cynthia and Charles Ramsay

Beautiful spot on the Blamco River
A wonderful spot to celebrate a 60th birthday. Tons of river toys, ping-pong table, pool table. We never left the property and spent two days floating. I would recommend bringing plenty of ice as the freezer struggles to keep up. We'll come back in the fall for a Wimberley getaway!

Laura’s beautiful river lodge
Had a great getaway weekend with our 2 sons and their families. House was just as pictured…. Very clean… beautifully decorated. The view from the grand room with its high windows was amazing. We used the kayaks, tubes, even fished using poles provided! We had a little trouble retrieving key to check in and again had trouble with the lockbox when trying to leave, but was resolved easily by contacting the hosts. My only recommendation would be to provide more coffee cups!! It is a beautiful property and I would recommend it highly to anyone wanting a peaceful, relaxing place to enjoy family or friends.

Effortless
Owners made everything right. They even bought/supplied a pack and play for my toddler after a last minute inquiry. Clean. Garage/basement is fun. Beds could be firmer. Overall happy and would return.

End of Summer Celebration.
What a great spot! The house is great. Plenty of room. Very clean. Had great amenities and they supplied lots of products! Great river toys! Also ping pong table and pool table to enjoy! HOA park is great to find a spot in the river with picnic tables. Our family had a great time celebrating the end of summer. We hated to leave!! Also Mr. Charles hand delivered a plate of cookies upon our arrival! They were delicious! They didn’t last long!! Great hostess!!

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia Ramsay

Host profile image
My husband, Charles, and I have lived in Wimberley for 23 years. His family had one of the original camp houses on River Road when he was growing up in the '40s and '50s, and that inspired us to build our home down here on Edgewater Drive. Hosting is our passion these days, and we love hosting happy guests looking for a fun getaway.

Before hosting, I was a court reporter for twenty-five years, and Charles is a senior retired district judge. Whenever I start to complain about anything, I just remember the deadlines and hardworking days of court reporting. Then I think about the happy smiles on my guests' faces when they arrive down here in the Wimberley Valley at the Blanco River.

We appreciate your booking. We know you have many choices these days. Our top priority is your happiness once you've chosen to book with us for your vacation getaway.

Thank you for your consideration!
Warmest regards,
Cynthia Ramsay

Why they chose this property

First and foremost, the beautiful Blanco River as well as two outstanding parks that are within a few paces of the property.

What makes this property unique

This is a one-of-a-kind property designed by me to be elevated above the newly proposed floodplain for safety, yet to be beautiful. There are FEMA approved flood vents in the lower level where we have a pool table, ping pong table and a grilling porch. The beautiful hand-made, carved posts came from Taos, New Mexico, and were made just for Laura's Lodge. You won't find another property like this one!
