Rodent in the Rental and Zero AccountabilityOur experience with Hill Country Premier Lodging was appalling. There was no warning in the listing that the driveway was unpaved and extremely rocky. One of our cars was damaged attempting to drive up, and we were forced to park at the bottom and hike a third of a mile uphill each time we left or returned—dangerous enough that one of our elderly guests fell and was injured.Inside the house, the plumbing was a disaster: one shower leaked into the bedroom below, and another barely had water pressure, making it unusable. What makes this worse is that other reviews noted similar water issues, and the company claimed they’d take the feedback seriously. Clearly, they did not.But the most repulsive issue of all was that we saw a rodent inside the home with our own eyes and found droppings throughout the property. A rodent infestation in a rental is not just disgusting—it’s a health risk. When we reported everything, Hill Country Premier Lodging was curt, unapologetic, and shockingly dismissive. They offered no refund, no compensation, not even a shred of accountability. I was even told by Laura (the only person we could speak with) I was being “insulting” for saying it was crazy to think a rodent didn’t warrant compensation.This company is unprofessional, careless, and dishonest. They ignore guest safety, fail to fix recurring problems, and refuse to take responsibility. Save yourself the headache and book elsewhere.

Very disappointed

The air conditioner in the downstairs bedroom wasn't working and they wouldn't send someone out until after we were checking out. We were expected to stay without air in Texas. The floor hadn't been cleaned. There was trash on the rugs. A towel appeared to have not been washed. The bathtub had soap residue. There were stains on the ceiling from a leak.

Nice house with great scenery

House was clean and great location.The road to get to the house is a gravel road and quite steep. The minivan we drove it was sliding around trying to get up and bottomed out a couple of times.Also the kitchen is nice but short on cooking/baking items. Should purchase a knife set and a decent set of pots and pans and baking trays for guests to use.There was no firewood provided for the fire pit.

Amazing Hill Country Getaway

We had the best stay at Southwind! The hidden bedroom was perfect for 4 of our 5 kids with plenty of space for each of them to sleep and play. The master bedroom fit me, my husband and our almost 2 year old with lots of room to spare! The two remaining bedrooms were perfect for my sister and father with their own private bathrooms. Our kids loved exploring the property and just being kids unplugged! We loved this spacious, clean, modern home for our stay in Wimberly. Everything was as pictured and as described. Super easy check -in/out process. We can’t wait to visit again!

Beautiful property but there are problems

The property is lovely. However, the main A/C went out the first day we were there. We were told they were having problems with the a/c unit but the owner felt the minisplits in two of the bedrooms was sufficient to cool the entire house, he was wrong. In addition, if you were taking a shower, and someone else used the sink, the water to the upstairs shower stopped completely. The water pressure was nonexistent to start. The internet went out constantly which wasn't a huge issue, but meant you couldn't watch the one TV when we were hanging out in the house. Finally, we found 2 scorpions and a centipede in the house. Probably wouldn't stay there again.

Quiet, peaceful get-away. Fantastic patio and view setting (rolling hills and trees, birds) to relax and enjoy. Only used the first and second rooms (not the 3rd / top floor at all) and everything was very nice. Comfy beds. Would certainly return.

Great house on a great property right outside town

The house is beautiful with an amazing property and great views. Its 5-10 minutes away from tons of cool things to do like Jacob's well, the blue hole and all the fun downtown Wimberly has to offer. As mentioned in a few other reviews, there are not a lot of pots and pans. One frying pan to be exact. We solved for this with aluminum cooking trays from HEB. The house seemed pretty clean but the floor was filthy, the kids feet turned black after walking through barefoot and when we went to clean up spilled water by the fridge the paper towel from the floor was pretty bad. The grill ran out of propane and no one responded immediately so we went into heb and got a replacement but we heard back from the management company the following day and they did reimburse for the cost. I mentioned the floor and pans just for awareness, it would not prevent us from going here again. Definitely should mention the road is unpaved, very rocky and has some steep sections for sure. We enjoyed a lot of time on the patio taking in the view and the decor/layout of the house is welcoming and enjoyable. We took several walks just around the property enjoying the views as well. We would definitely return.

Great property!

We stayed for 4 nights with our family. Great property--definitely remote and peaceful but very close to the great town of Wimberley. Rental was clean and pretty much as advertised. A few light bulbs need to be replaced and they only supplied one roll of paper towels and a few garbage bags so bring those if you are staying for a few days and cooking, etc.

Just Okay

This was our second time staying here and it felt like new management because the place wasn’t as clean and there was only 4 pillows in the WHOLE house that had pillow cases. I tried to communicate with the owner, but they were not ver responsive at all. Then, of course half way through cooking dinner the propane for the grill went out. The house is also invested with ants and they got into all our stuff which made it hard to pack up and go home. For the price, they are just really cheap - only providing ONE trash bag and making us go buy more. Which if you are familiar with the area is difficult to do since this house is out in the boondocks. Overall, I am just sad that it is so poorly ran because it’s a great location and a lovely overall home, but I wouldn’t recommend it because the owners are so cheap.
