The best family vacation we've had in a long time
Our stay at Mill Race Lodge was wonderful. The house is large and charming and sits on the grassy banks of a lovely stretch of Cypress Creek, shaded by live oaks and cypress trees. The house had everything needed for our family to relax, play, and swim. It was beautiful inside and out. We all loved it and highly recommend it.

Outstanding lodge, fine furniture, propane full, very clean and what was even better is the owner. He wants you to be happy and enjoy. Beautiful and well shaded backyard with lit concrete steps and side walk to and around the creek. Easy fishing and floating. Pool area is also nice and a great place to tan.

It is a beautiful property and house! There is lots to do for any age! We will definitely go back!
The House was clean, well stocked in the kitchen. It was comfy and inviting! Our four kids loved all the movie choices as well as the ping pong table, air hockey and fussball game. It was close to town so we could walk, but it was also very private! We would definitely recommend this house to anyone wanting to vacation in the Wimberley area!

Perfect Escape from Austin or San Antonio
This was our family's second stay at Mill Race Lodge. Charles has created a vacation experience that will make you never want to leave the property during your stay. From paddleboarding and fishing on the the cypress-lined creek to lounging at the pool to playing ball in the huge front yard to sipping wine on the porch at sunset -- there's no shortage of fun for anyone in the family.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! This is such a beautiful home and property. The backyard is peaceful and relaxing. I agree with those that said the pictures don’t do the house justice.

Simply stunning
What an amazing place to spend a weekend (or a lot longer). Spotlessly clean, centrally located (yet out of the hustle and bustle) and so well equipped. Even with rain for our first 36 hours, the place just worked - lots to do for the kids in the games room and great leather couches to just cuddle up with a glass of wine. Would love to come back in high summer to enjoy the river. Firepit was great. Thanks agains for amazing stay - we will be back.

Gorgeous Property and Great Location!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about this beautiful home and host! Charles went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable during our long weekend in Wimberley! The house is well appointed and comfortable; lots of towels, dishes and comfortables places to relax! The pool is perfect for cooling off and the backyard has a gorgeous view of the creek. I would absolutely recommend this property to family and friends and we will be back!

We had 5 adults and 2 kids (ages 11 and 17) everyone had a wonderful time. The property is absolutely beautiful. You will not even want to leave the house. It is so comfortable and homey. There are so many things to do that you will not get bored! I hated leaving and we already want to go back!

A gorgeous property!
We were blown away. We had excellent communication before and throughout. The pictures do not do it justice- the interior of the house is both elegant and cozy / comfortable- no easy feat. The back of the house with access to the crystal clear creek was amazing. The kids also loved the pool and trampoline. We had a wonderful time and plan to come back!

Halloween Wedding
We love this home!!! It was so very comfortable and calming. The backyard was a jewel! Right on Cypress Creek. Birds and deer were daily visitors. If you want a relaxing rental you can't go wrong with this home. It was a welcome respite from the chaos of our daughter's wedding at the Wildflower Country Inn!!!! We will definitely be back!!!

Relaxing Summer Fun
We had an amazing time at the Mill Race Lodge! Everything was as expected - in fact better than expected! It was a hot summer getaway and the creek levels were a little low given the drought, but no worries, the pool and home afforded all we needed to enjoy a lovely mix of the outdoors and A/C! Stargazing in the pool was a personal favorite, and the home was perfect for 3 sets of adults to have plenty of space on our own and then to come together for games, movies, and relaxing. Charles was great to communicate with and very accommodating, and I’d highly recommend this home! Thanks for everything, Charles!

Wonderful Family Vacay!
Mill Race Lodge is hands down the best spot to vacation in Wimberley! I have 4 teens that live with their phones and games in their hands. THEY PUT THE ELECTRONICS DOWN! The house was beautiful and spacious as well as the property! There was plenty to keep us all actively doing something: fishing, relaxing in the tubes, strolling down the creek in kayaks or on paddle boards, taking a dip in the pool, movies, books, board games and more! We will be booking again next summer!

Beautiful property on the river
This was an amazing get away during COVID. We spent most of our time in the river on the paddle boards and kayaks. The water is clear and chilly which was great because it was record heat! The property is EXTREMELY clean and has everything you need. The beds were very comfortable. We also enjoyed the pool in the evenings and sitting under the party lights at night on the river. They added these light that are pointed to the trees on the river that make it look like there are fireflies everywhere. Very cool to watch at night! Wish we could have stayed longer!!

Wonderfully appointed escape for the Family
Everything you could ever need for a beautiful weekend away is at your fingertips in this home. Our family has grown (seven adults) and we all found that we had plenty of space and areas to stretch out, explore, play games and relax. The house is laid out nicely, with a sunroom for breakfast and games in the evening, spacious, lovely living room for any TV time, fully stocked kitchen for big meals, heated large pool for relaxing and a nice, quiet stretch of the creek for canoing and kayaking (all of which are provided). Charels was very accomodating with any and all questions and requests. Beautiful yard to host our large Easter egg hunt!! We will certainly be looking forward to our next stay!

AMAZING! ABSOLUTE PARADISE
My family and I have rented Charles' riverside home twice and cannot wait to return! It is perfect for the family. Truly five star accommodations with literally everything that you could ever want and more. We enjoyed the swimming pool each morning and ended the day in the afternoon using the kayaks in the river and grilling out. Simply gorgeous. So relaxing! We were close to all of the attractions, yet we were worlds away in such a peaceful setting. I recommend booking for at least three nights to enjoy the tranquil setting and the fun area activities. The home is spacious and well-appointed with an ideal layout for meals, television, playing games, and quiet relaxation. Thanks for a wonderful stay, Charles!

Our Best Vacation Rental Experience
As you will see from the other reviews, the property is truly unique, well-appointed, and full of fun activities for everyone. On top of all the amenities, what makes Mill Race Lodge special is the hospitality and customer service of Charles, the owner. He's actually enthusiastic about your experience. From the very beginning, he wanted to know about our needs and interests for our vacation, and gave us the information we needed. Charles went out of his way to accommodate some of our special requests about the pool, and was reachable for questions, even over a holiday break. You'll enjoy staying at place where the owner takes pride in providing you and your guests comfort and fun.
