Why Wimberley Works
Wimberley Guests Come Back Year After Year
Most Hill Country towns get a burst of first time visitors. Wimberley gets repeat ones. Blue Hole and Jacob's Well pull families back to the same week almost every summer, and a lot of them book the same house if it treated them right the first time. We've watched the same families book the same week for three years running.
Not every home makes a great vacation rental here. In Wimberley, if you're more than a fifteen minute drive from Blue Hole or the Square, you're competing on price instead of location, and that's a harder game to win. Cabins, homes with a view, and anything near the creek do best. A plain suburban style house further out has to work twice as hard to book at the same rate.

Visiting Wimberley
Things to Do in Wimberley, Texas
Wimberley runs on swimming holes, art, and small town charm. Guests plan trips around the calendar below, and so should your pricing.
Where to Go
Blue Hole Regional Park
The cypress shaded swimming hole that put Wimberley on the map. Peak season here drives peak season everywhere else.
Jacob's Well Natural Area
A clear artesian spring with underwater caves. Properties within a short drive command higher rates.
Wimberley Square
Shops, galleries, and restaurants around the historic town square. Guests love walking distance.
EmilyAnn Theatre & Gardens
Outdoor theater under the stars. A steady draw for couples and repeat visitors.
Wimberley Zipline Adventures
One of the longest ziplines in Texas. A magnet for the adventure crowd.
Local Wineries
Wimberley Valley Winery and Driftwood Estate Winery bring in the wine trail crowd year round.
Annual Events Worth Planning Around
January
Blue Hole Polar Bear Plunge & 5K
A New Year's Day tradition. Not a big booking driver but a good gauge of who's already in town.
March to December, First Saturdays
Wimberley Market Days
The oldest outdoor market in the Hill Country. Parking gets tight downtown, which is a good weekend to be booked, not driving in.
April
EmilyAnn Butterfly Festival & Wimberley Pie Social
Two spring events that stack with wildflower season and fill shoulder season weekends.
July 4th
Fourth of July Parade & VFW Rodeo
One of the biggest weekends of the year. Book this early or lose it to someone who did.
October
Boo! Hole Halloween at Blue Hole
A family friendly draw that extends the swimming season crowd into fall.
December
Winter's Eve on the Square
Holiday shopping and live music downtown. A reliable close to the year.
You just saw why the calendar stays full. If you own a property near Wimberley, that same demand can turn into real income when it's priced and managed right.

Why Rodeo
A Different Kind of Wimberley Vacation Rental Management Company
We work this market ourselves. We know Airbnb, VRBO, and direct bookings, and we list on all three because relying on one platform is how owners leave money on the table.
A lot of owners think bigger management companies provide better service. We haven't found that to be true. Big companies manage hundreds of homes with the same playbook for every one of them. We're boutique on purpose. Fewer properties, more attention to each one.
We're owner-operators ourselves. A vacation rental is an investment, and it should be managed like one, not treated like a side project that runs itself.

Common Questions
Wimberley Vacation Rental Management FAQ
It depends on location, size, and amenities. Wimberley properties average around $243 a night with 47 percent occupancy, and top performers clear $58,637 or more a year. We'll give you a real number for your specific property, not a market average.
Homes close to Blue Hole or Jacob's Well, with a private pool or hot tub, a fire pit, or real Hill Country views. Pet friendly properties do well here too. A plain house far from the water or the Square has to work harder to compete.
Yes. We can take over an existing listing and its reviews, or build a new one from scratch if you're just getting started. Either way we handle the pricing, the photos, and the description.
We coordinate cleaning and maintenance for every stay. You don't have to find a cleaner, schedule a turnover, or worry about what happens if someone cancels last minute.
We actively manage pricing. Setting the wrong price can be expensive, especially in a town where the rate swings hard between a July weekend and a random Tuesday in February. We adjust for events, seasons, and demand instead of letting a static rate sit there.
Both, plus direct bookings. We list your property across every major platform so you're not relying on a single source of guests.
This is full management, not co-hosting. A co-host operates inside your own Airbnb account and is usually Airbnb-only. We run your property as a full-service business across every platform, from guest communication to cleaning to pricing.
Wimberley requires a Conditional Use Permit, or CUP, for every short-term rental regardless of zoning, approved by City Council. Once approved, you'll collect and remit the state Hotel Occupancy Tax of 6 percent and the city's Hotel Occupancy Tax of 7 percent, for 13 percent total. We can walk you through what this looks like for your property.
Yes. Plenty of our owners block off weeks for personal use. Just let us know your schedule ahead of time so we can plan bookings around it.
