Welcome to The Gathering, a private 12-acre retreat perfect for family gatherings, retreats or couples getaways up to 16. This sanctuary is designed to whisk you away on an unforgettable vacation like no other! Located just minutes from Wimberley Square, and nestled in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, this 4700 sq ft home, surrounded by majestic oak trees and sweeping hill country vistas, awaits your arrival. It's a haven designed to create cherished memories that will linger for a lifetime.
This property may have other guests on the property at the time of your stay. The pickle ball court is shared between the two houses. The guest house does not have access to the pool, hot tub, dinking court, or grill unless the whole property is rented.

The outdoor amenities rival those of a 5-star resort, promising endless hours of fun and relaxation.
As you enter through the gates, you'll be greeted by charming surprises along the way. A quaint cottage (available if you need more space, sleeps 6), and a pickleball court with shaded viewing areas beckon. Disc golf enthusiasts will spot baskets, and that's just the beginning. Keep heading down the road until you reach the Party Barn, a hub of entertainment with basketball, ping pong, pickleball dinking court, bicycles and a medley of outdoor activities suitable for kids and adults alike.
The moment you step inside you know you have entered a haven where comfort and luxury merge seamlessly. Sink into plush seating in a living space adorned with soaring ceilings, a grand stone fireplace, and an 85" TV, that promises cozy evenings with loved ones.
