Whitetail Oaks - Rustic Charm Meets Fun! Private Pool & Pickleball on 34 Acres

An exquisite, handcrafted home, blending contemporary with warm rustic elegance, in a Hill Country setting on 34 private acres. Relax on the porch in a rocking chair, enjoy snuggling up by the the indoor fireplace, read a book while soaking in the hot tub, or just do nothing at all - this is relaxation at its best!

The open living, kitchen, and dining areas make it convenient for your family and friends to enjoy quality time no matter where they prefer to hang out. The game room was designed with both kids and adults in mind. Enjoy a night of poker around the game table, a competitive game of shuffleboard, or bust one of the good old fashioned family board games. Although the home only has 4 bedrooms, the owners very thoughtfully and strategically created a way for groups as large as 13 guests to enjoy the space together comfortably. The outdoor amenities do not disappoint offering a grill area, outdoor fire pit, and even a brand new pickleball court. And best of all, a private swimming pool that can be heated in the winter.

HEATING POOL: The pool can be heated from October - March. Advance notice is required if you would like to heat the pool. There is an additional charge of $150 per day to cover the propane usage/cost it incurs.

CHECK-IN/OUT TIMES: Check-in time is 4:00 pm and check-out time is 10:00 am. Luggage storage is unavailable while the home is being prepared for your arrival. We recommend making travel plans accordingly.

SELF CHECK-IN REQUIREMENTS: All reservations will be required to sign a rental agreement and provide Hills of Texas Lodging with a valid credit card to be placed on file for their stay. In lieu of charging a damage deposit or non-refundable damage waiver, a temporary hold of $500 will be placed on a credit card upon arrival for incidentals (just like they do at hotels). We are basically just verifying with your financial institution that sufficient funds are available in the event they were needed to cover property damage(s). If there are no property damages, the card will not be charged.

AGE REQUIREMENT: Everyone participating in the reservation must be over age 25 or if accompanied by their parent or legal guardian.

MAX OCCUPANCY: The maximum capacity for this home is 13 guests (including children). No visitors or day guests are allowed. Only the guests registered in this reservation are allowed onsite. If it is discovered that guests are over occupying the property, it will result in eviction.

PET POLICY: Pets are only allowed if they have been registered prior to your arrival. A maximum of 2 dogs are allowed and a pet fee of $25.00 per pet, per night will be added to the reservation after approval. Non-registered pets are strictly forbidden and will result in forfeiture of the full security deposit.

Another great stay. This is our third trip here, and we will definitely be back. The ten of us had a fine time.The house is actually better than advertised: there's a brand new pickleball court, and three spots of covered parking. The grounds are huge - we never saw or heard any signs of the neighbors. The kitchen is large, and the dining room table is big enough for everyone (another feature that's surprisingly rare amongst vacation rentals).

We loved this place. We traveled with 6 adults and a puppy. The house does a great job with giving each couple their own space with plenty of shared areas. We really enjoyed the porch and rocking chairs, the pool, firepit, grill, pickleball, and exploring the property. The beds were comfortable and we all slept great. Highly recommend this property. We will return with our kids and grandkids.
Great firepit - be sure to bring your own wood.

Whitetail Oaks was in a beautiful part of the Texas hill country. Kitchen was well stocked. Hot tub was a good temp. Fourth bedroom was way too small for adults to sleep comfortably. The mattress in that room was not flat and we had to try to sleep at a 10 degree angle. We were not able to sleep much during our stay. The ice machine did not work and we had to buy ice multiple. times during our stay. We accidently left something when we checked out and the staff was very responsive.

hidden gem

We rented this place to be out of the hustle of San Marcos for graduation weekend. It was the most perfect location. We loved all of the fun outside amenities as well as the fully stocked kitchen so we could cook there. All the way down to shampoo, conditioner, body wash, trash bags and spices. We would recommend this house!

Great Getaway

This home was absolutely perfect for our family of 11! Each family had their own private space and bathroom, which made the stay comfortable and relaxing. The pool and hot tub were a huge hit with everyone, and the peaceful scenery made it easy to unwind — we especially loved sitting in the rocking chairs and taking in the view from the balcony. It had that quiet, country feel while still being close enough to the city for shopping and outings. We’ve already talked about booking again!

Beautiful Stay in the Hill Country!

Our whole family ( 3 generations) loved staying at Whitetail Oaks! The property was beautiful and in a great location, close enough for us to attend the Blanco Lavender Festival and eat in Wimberley. The house is spacious and we were all able to spread out. I especially loved the porch and the pool was a big hit with everyone! We had one minor problem and it was handled quickly, great communication with the management company/owners. We would definitely stay here again and I've recommended it to all our friends.
