Messina Inn

Set on 13 acres beside Cypress Creek in Wimberley, Messina Inn is a boutique hotel and wedding venue owned by a family. Its Italian-inspired villas hold suites and two cottages, with room for up to 37 overnight guests in private rooms rather than bunks.

The suites are grouped in the main building, along the creek and in a wine-themed wing, with king or queen beds. Suites in the main building share a wraparound patio facing the creek, and the Creekside Suites open onto a shared creek-view veranda. The Wine Suites share a balcony over the woods and a seasonal creek.

The two freestanding cottages each have two bedrooms, a full kitchen, a living room with fireplace, and a patio with grill and firepit. One of them has its own hot tub and large picture windows.

Registered guests share a pool, hot tub and sauna, plus courtyards with firepits. Rooms come with Smart TVs, mini-fridges and coffee makers. The inn puts Blue Hole Regional Park about 5 minutes away and Jacob's Well Natural Area about 10 minutes away.
