Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the amenities, but we completely agree — that view really is something special. There’s just something about those Hill Country sunsets that makes a stay unforgettable.
We’d love to welcome you back to Tawnya’s Secret Hideaway anytime for another beautiful getaway.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! ⭐️ We’re glad to hear everything was great at Tawnya’s Secret Hideaway. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back for another stay anytime.
The veiw from the backyard is amazing! The same amazing view can be seen from the upstairs bedroom. The location was easy to get to and in a very quiet neighborhood. We even saw several deer roaming the neighborhood and property. The beds were the most comfortable beds I have EVER slept in! I wish we could have stayed longer, we would love to stay here again in the future.

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the views — that backyard (and the upstairs bedroom!) really does offer something special, especially when the deer make an appearance. It’s one of our favorite parts of Tawnya’s Secret Hideaway too.
We love hearing that the beds were the most comfortable you’ve ever slept in — that’s the kind of feedback that makes our day! Comfort and peaceful surroundings are exactly what we hope every guest experiences.
We’d absolutely love to have you back anytime. 🌿✨
We were in town for a wedding. This home was perfect. Great location, comfortable, clean and well maintained. The outdoor space is spectacular with a great valley view, sunset, wildlife, relaxed seating, and more. Chris the owner communicated all we needed for our stay. Highly recommend.
We loved our stay at the house in Dripping Springs. The views are spectacular and have great outdoor areas. The house is at a perfect location, easily accessible to HEB, restaurants, and other attractions.

Hi there, thank you so much for such a beautiful review. It was fantastic having you and your family here. And tell the hubby im sorry about the Longhorn game. Not what we’d hoped for. You guys were wonderful, and thanks for being so diligent in respecting our home. Please hurry back!
We had a good stay! We were there for a graduation that weekend so didn’t spend much time at the house. The house was clean and had an amazing view!

Hello Marcy
Im glad you all had a good stay at our home. I am curious if we let you down somehow with the 4stars? I noticed all the categories were checked 5 stars. We sincerely believe in delivering an exceptional stay and don’t want to ever disappoint. I would appreciate you taking a minute to express your disappointment on the messaging board so I can ensure our next guests aren’t.
Thank you
We enjoyed our stay very much. It was so close to our wedding venue and was the perfect place to station for a day with kids. Very clean and plenty of cooking/laundry/cleaning supplies when needed. Communication with owner was also very clear and helpful.
The kitchen has many options for preparing meals. It has coffee pods and 2 types of coffee makers. The host was very responsive and provided dishwashing products and laundry products. The washer and dryer were wonderful and very clean and there is even a bin for recycling. The outside play area and back patio were amazing. This home was kid friendly with amazing views and close to many venues, restaurants and grocery stores. All in all a wonderful experience.

I am really happy to hear you and your family had such a great experience. And yeah, both kids and grownups enjoy our place here with all the backyard sceneries and fun. It makes us happy to share it with others and seeing the feedback. I know what an investment is at stake to place all your bets on a never seen before rental. Im glad you weren’t disappointed!
Great property and host. Highly recommend if coming to the Dripping Springs location.
