Relax and reconnect in a calm space nestled among trees and atop a cliff, with a breathtaking view of the Blanco River bed. Watch a Texas sunset from the balcony, hike down into miles of boulders and wildlife in the dry Blanco riverbed, or explore nearby swimming holes and downtown Wimberley (a 12 minute drive). The perfect getaway for families or a small group. The Cliffside Perch is a simple retreat, with Wi-Fi and no visible TV. A projector can be unpacked with a Roku for streaming shows. This unique 3-bedroom/2-bath, 1600-square-foot home includes a king-size bed, a full-size bed, a bunk room (with 2 twin-XL bunks that sleep 4), and a futon couch; 2 living rooms, each with sitting areas; an eating area with bar stools; a mid-century modern kitchen; a dining space with a large farmhouse table; a screened-in porch on the first floor; and a large top deck above a cliff, 70 feet above the dry Blanco River bed. For safety, porch rails are 42 inches high and a fence blocks access to the cliff along the length of the property. All linens, towels, dishes, and cookware are provided as well as coffee, soaps, shampoo, and conditioner. A note on occupancy limits. We have had more than 10 people stay there, cramming lots of kids in. That's not for everyone, but to let you know how that works: the beds fit 8, the futon fits another 1 or 2, and Nugget cushions could fit another 2. We've set the max to 10, but you can ask for more to fit kids. The Clifftop Perch is on 6 acres, 4 of which are above the cliff. The property is fully accessible to guests for hiking and exploring. (See if you can find the fairy village in the forest, somewhat near the entrance.) Outbuildings should not be accessed. EV owners: in case you have your own L1 charger, you can park within feet of a 110V outlet. All guests are required to review and agree to our safety agreement—delivered by message on this platform—prior to check-in. Failure to do so may result in cancellation of the reservation.

The hosts are long-time residents of Austin. Our family is available to offer tips, recommendations, and general guidance if needed.
