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
