Beautiful hill country house

We enjoyed our stay near family in Lakeway and Dripping Springs! The house was new with amazing outdoor spaces. The beds are comfortable, and the kitchen had the basic necessities. We appreciated the firewood for the outdoor stone fireplace. Would love to stay again someday.

Beautiful large home in dripping springs!

We booked this house for our wedding in dripping springs. The check in process was easy and smooth. The house itself was large, clean, and well maintained. Even though we didn’t use the outdoor area in the back, it was definitely a highlight. I would highly recommend this place and stay again!

Even better than expected

We were looking forward to our stay from seeing the pictures online and when we arrived we were even more impressed seeing it in person. This was the perfect place for us to host the rehearsal dinner for our son’s wedding. The outside back porch was large and perfect for hosting. We enjoyed s’mores at the fire pit after as well. We felt at home as we prepared for our son’s wedding and the groomsmen enjoyed staying onsite with us. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Great property near State Parks

The house is located in a nice area about ~1hr drive to Pedernales Falls and Inks Lake parks. Modern appliances (I appreciated the gas range) and a nice large TV. The deck and fire pit are great and are nicely furnished. Comfortable beds and very clean. Communication with owner was great and timely. The perfect rental home! Would definitely stay there again.

Great Family Property

Stayed here with 3 young kids. Very nice to have a 1-story house! Check-in was a breeze and the house was extremely clean with all the kitchenware, bedding, and bath items you could need. Great location with easy access to breweries, wineries, and Austin. Although we didn't use it for our car, access to the garage was a nice, rare surprise. Great place to set stuff and store garbage throughout the week. No complaints on the house and would happily recommend it to others.

First time in Texas

I recently had the pleasure of renting a house in Texas, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. The location was fantastic, The house is clean and well-maintained. One standout feature was the backyard -true Texas landscaping was unforgettable. The property management team was also a pleasure to work with - they replied quickly to all your messages

Hill Country

We enjoyed our stay over the Thanksgiving holiday despite the rainy weekend. We enjoyed hiking and the beautiful state park about 30 minutes west of the house. If you stay, be sure to make reservations at the natural areas that are closer to the house. We didn’t realize that was required and there were no tickets left. The house was nice and I thought the beds were especially wonderful. The outdoor area in the back was very nice, but we were disappointed that there was a lot of traffic noise from the highway hidden behind the trees. Dripping Springs offers some very nice restaurants. Do check them out.

Amazing place to stay in the Austin Area

We rented this property for a 5-night stay in May 2019 to celebrate my Daughter’s graduation from UT-Austin. This place was amazing! It was very clean, spacious and well decorated. The beds were extremely comfortable. The area was very private and quiet. The back patio is so pleasant to sit out there in the afternoons and enjoy the nice scenery. We had a small get-together with Family and Friends on one day which went very well...everyone loved the house. The Owner, Lauren, was exceptional....she was in good contact with us throughout the stay and gave great instructions on everything. I would highly recommend this property to anyone especially for area college activities, wedding parties, etc. With full bedding for up to 8 people and the reasonable pricing, this property is a no brainer compared to hotels. Thanks for everything Lauren.

We loved our stay here. The house was clean and had everything we needed and the location was perfect while we were visiting nearby family. The property is beautiful and the covered back patio was a great bonus. The owners were extremely responsive with questions even during a holiday.

Quick Get Away

This place blew us away! We absolutely loved our stay! It was so cozy with an amazing view.! We wished it wasn’t so cold so we could have enjoyed the outdoor space. It was spotless(I’m a little ocd) and had all of the essentials you needed to get through the short stay we were there for. Lauren was very responsive, kind and I loved the binder of what all the places we could visit while in town! We will definitely be back!

Great Home with a Great View

Everything about this property was spot on! The hosts were gracious and quick to respond with any questions. The property was as described, and the views were awesome. We visited the property in the summer heat of TX so we were not able to enjoy the indoor/outdoor fireplaces. May be an opportunity to visit again in the fall! It is a definite destination to be visited & enjoyed again! Thank you to the wonderful hosts!
