About Robin
We designed and built this house for family closeness and entertaining friends. We've raised our boys in this home and on this property. They graduated Dripping Springs High School and now attend UT Austin and UT San Antonio. Now that they are not home full time, we wanted to share the place with others and earn some extra income.
Why Robin chose Dripping Springs
My husband bought this amazing property right out of college and we decided to build when we started our family. Owned by an artist and engineer, the place is unique and beautifully decorated for a homey and casual feel. The open floor plan is perfect for entertaining and family gatherings. It's private, peaceful and comfortable.
What makes this House unique
Our home has so many unique qualities not found in most rental properties, from the panoramic views, privacy, custom artwork and stained glass windows, decorating and landscaping. We live in the hub of hill country outdoor activities, including hiking, biking, fishing, kayaking, swimming, Hamilton Pool Preserve, Westcave Preserve, Reimers Ranch Park, wineries and wedding venues.

Awesome location and amenities
Enjoyed the sand volleyball court, the swimming pool and jacuzzi. Had fun hanging out with friends and watching college football on the outdoor TV. Thank you for sharing your home with us
Everything you need to kick back and relax
A beautiful property that truly has everything you need to have an effortless getaway for a few days. The view is amazing. We saw deer everyday which is a treat for this city girl that is critter crazy! While there was plenty to do nearby, we never left. Ive never stayed in a place that was so well stocked for anything you may need or want to do. Definitely will recommend. Great communication from the owner.
Time of our Lives!
We absolutely could not have asked for anything better! If you are wanting genuine Texas Hill Country views this is the place! This house is truly one of a kind! It feels like you are way out in the country but there are still plenty of opportunities for outings if you want to go see what the area has to offer! We really appreciated the hospitality and our overall stay here! I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience the Texas hill country and the good vibes that naturally live here!
Perfect Get Away
This place was perfect for our annual family get together. The kitchen was well stocked. The place was so peaceful/relaxing and the views are spectacular.
We never left the to go anywhere, because everyone was enjoying the wonderful swimming pool.
Over the last 5 years we have stayed at several places in the hill country, using VRBO, and this place was definitely by far the best.
A Real Hoot!!
They have an Owl Cam, I mean, how awesome is that! This place was so cool and perfect for a family get together. We booked for close family during our wedding week in Austin then had a small BBQ the day after. Everything you need is here. Beach towels, floaties, night yard lighting, surround sound, speakers throughout the home, really cool loft for the kids, spices, nice cooking utensils, well kept rooms with cozy decor. If you’re lucky, there might be a baby owl around to watch through the owl cam!
Robin gave us a detailed tour with thoughtful instruction on how to operate all the features.
Remember to only pack your swimsuit because that’s all you’ll be doing the entire time you’re here! It’s awesome.
Thanks, Robin! We’ll be back!
a beautiful property. Perfect getaway
In town for a wedding. Family was able to relax by the pool and enjoy amazing views. Was a very enjoyable stay. Would rent again!
