A private Hill Country yurt with fast WiFi, a dedicated workspace, and a secluded hot tub, approximately 35 minutes from Austin yet surrounded by total quiet. Set on 28 private acres in Texas Hill Country, this is where big-city pace gives way to space, privacy, and open skies.
Designed for guests seeking a quiet, restorative escape, the property is intentionally curated from arrival to departure. Mornings unfold slowly over freshly brewed coffee with wide Hill Country views. Evenings are spent unwinding in the private hot tub under the stars or fireside at the private outdoor fire pit. Scenic hiking trails, a cowboy pool with umbrella cover, and both indoor and outdoor showers create an experience centered on comfort, privacy, and restoration.
High-speed WiFi makes it easy to work remotely or stream when needed, and a dedicated desk in the primary bedroom provides a comfortable workspace for longer stays. Whether you're planning a midweek remote reset or a romantic weekend away, the setting supports both productivity and true downtime.
Four-legged travelers are welcome for an additional fee. Simply include them at checkout and we’ll provide thoughtful touches to make their stay just as comfortable.

This home exceeded our expectations! Beautiful views! It was super cozy, very nice and lots of things to d without leaving the house. We wil definitely be bac!
We had such a a great time staying at Hearthstone 515! It is such a a beautiful place and so serene! Patti greeted us and was so welcoming. She even printed out the schedule for the Songwriters Festival for us. Such a sweet person, and such a sweet place to visit! We can't wait to go back again!
Magical!! Scenery was incredible, host was amazing, and the interior blew us away. The place was stocked VERY well with everything we needed. It had an adorable record player and some games which helped pass some time during our stay. The stars at night were breathtaking.
We really enjoyed our time at the yurt. It is very nicely appointed and had everything we needed for our long weekend away. The owner and property are really nice and were pleasantly surprised by the Dripping Springs and how many things there are to do in the area. We are highly likely to return.

About the host
Hosted by Patti Rudick
We have lived in Austin and Dripping Springs since the late 1970's. We built this property from scratch. There was nothing but rock, coliche and trees. Everyone who comes here loves the tranquillity of the property. We love entertaining and sharing Heartstone with people who appreciate the beauty of the country, the starlit skies, beautiful sunsets and fabulous storm watching. We've loved hosting guests who come to Heartstone leave the yurt feeling refreshed, revitalize & rejuvenate.
Why they chose this property
It isn't a neighborhood. That is what we enjoy most. Taking a walk and hearing the birds and seeing wildlife. It is mostly quiet except in the morning when the rooster's Fred, Solomon and Romeo start to crow and the chickens tell us someone laid an egg. Chances are you will receive fresh morning eggs with your stay if the girls are cooperating.
What makes this property unique
Everything! We have views, pastures, trees and beautiful gardens. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. We are within an easy drive of downtown Dripping Springs, wineries, breweries, distilleries, olive groves, wedding venues, shopping and anything you need.
