Welcome to Cottage #9 – Travelers at RusTx Ranch, your whimsical home-away-from-home in the scenic heart of Wimberley, TX. Designed with wanderers in mind, this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage is the perfect home base for those who love to explore new places—or simply enjoy a restful escape in a unique setting filled with character and charm.
From the moment you walk in, you'll be immersed in a travel-themed interior filled with curated pieces that celebrate the joy of discovery. Think vintage suitcases, airplane accents, hot air balloon art, and souvenirs from around the globe, all set against a cozy rustic-modern backdrop. The natural honey-toned wood walls, distressed corrugated metal ceiling, and pail-style light fixtures create a warm, welcoming vibe with a touch of whimsy.
Each of the two bedrooms features a plush queen bed, perfect for unwinding after a day of Hill Country adventures. The bathroom is compact but thoughtfully designed, with an extra-long vanity and a tiled walk-in shower that offers a refreshing retreat.
The living area includes a comfortable flip-flop style sleeper sofa—ideal for a fifth guest—as well as a club chair and a wall-mounted streaming TV, perfect for cozy movie nights. A kitchenette with a microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker lets you keep snacks and essentials close, and the dining table for six is great for shared meals, card games, or planning your next destination.
Step outside to enjoy a true taste of Hill Country living. Sip your morning coffee from the rocking chairs on the front porch, or gather around the shared firepit (BYO firewood) in the evenings with guests from Cottage #7 – Harmony and Cottage #8 – Sports, which complete this welcoming little horseshoe of cottages. Note: the firepit is only available when burn bans are not in effect.

Nice cabin. Liked the outside sitting area. Quiet. Pickle ball was a plus. The AC in the living area wouldn’t cool, but if they had just told me to take the remote closer to the mini split (even though it’s attached to the wall) it would have saved maintenance a trip. Otherwise great stay.
