Established in 1848, this picturesque village is a resort and retirement area and is located in the beautiful Texas Hill Country on Ranch Road 12 just 45 miles southwest of Austin and 60 miles northeast of San Antonio. It's different than the cities in the area because it is an unincorporated village. The Post Office delivers to about 8,000 households and on certain weekends listed below, the number of people can swell to twice that many as thousands of shoppers from as far away as Houston and Dallas converge for "Market Days" (the first Saturday March-December) - a huge open air shopping experience with over 475 booths for art, antiques, plants and practical "stuff" and everything you can't live without! This is the oldest outdoor market in the Texas Hill Country and the second-largest in the state.  Also, on the third Saturday area artists exhibit their works of art. The weather is typical for the Hill Country with hot summers and mild winters, averaging 300 days of sunshine and 37 inches of rain a year. Wimberley is a popular tourist stop, well known for its many art and specialty shops along with lots of art and music festivals!

The area has several attractions to visit while you are enjoying your stay with us.  Visitors to the area are entranced by cool, shady pools beneath towering cypress trees, the cascading Blanco River and sparkling Cypress Creek, rolling green meadows and majestic hills. In abundance are white-tailed deer and other wildlife, wildflowers, recreational communities, vacation resorts and youth camps. Popular activities include climbing, hiking, fishing, swimming, boating, golf, tennis, bird watching, arts and crafts, and camping. Wimberley is the home of many artists and authors

Devil's Backbone. One of Texas' most scenic drives, officially RM 32, the "Devil's Backbone" is a winding, razor-backed ridge overlooking Hill Country vistas. It extends from RM 12 just south of Wimberley, Texas west some 24 miles to near Blanco



       
The Texas Hill Country is a favorite with cycling enthusiasts.

    

   Wimberley is located in the Hill Country along the eastern edge of the Edwards Plateau. In spring and fall, several organized tours are sponsored along these roads and are popular with those who enjoy the special challenge and reward of cycling over Hill Country terrain. All roads leaving Wimberley Valley lead uphill, and start with a long, gradual uphill grade. Several roads cross Onion Creek, one of the longest and prettiest creeks in central Texas. Terrain: rolling hills, with one big climb on RM 165.

·         

     Roads: moderate to heavy traffic on the roads around Dripping Springs (RM 12, RM 150, and US 290). RM 3237 may have some traffic, especially on weekends. Otherwise, quiet country roads with light traffic
