Great for Jill country wedding!
This property location was an excellent home base while we were in town for a family wedding. It’s far enough from the city to be relaxing and the property itself was beautiful! It had everything we needed!

Beautiful country Home
It was great. Plenty of open space. The beds were comfy. The wild life was impressive! The pool was Awesome! Loved that it had an RO water system. It was a bit further out of town than we are used too but it was doable. We cook most of our meals so our only suggestion would be upgrading the pans. We as a family give it a 10 out of 10! Thank you

Beautiful Home!
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. Robin was a great host, she greeted us and showed us around the beautiful property and explained how everything worked. The house was spacious, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. The kids loved the pool, the beds were comfortable. The views were gorgeous and property overall was fantastic. Robin was great and made us feel at home. I look forward to booking again next year!!!

Loved it so much we already rebooked :)
Great for a family stay. Great yard with beautiful veiw and pool-- no need to drag everything down to a river. Nice grass for the kids to play on and a great grill also! Next time we won't have to bring our own. Beds are super comfy and kitchen is well stocked. The owner acutally lives there, so she will meet you and walk you through the place. She even has a nice herb and veggie garden! Only thing I might have wanted is that we could have used another bathroom for such a large house, but it wasn't an issue as we just shared :) We will be back next year Lord willing :)

Family get together
This was our family’s second stay at this Hill Country retreat. It’s a lovely home in a beautiful area with beautiful views, a beautiful pool and everything you will need for a relaxing family get together. Robin is so helpful and always available to answer questions. There is much to do in the area, but we were content to just enjoy the beautiful property.

Wedding Weekend
The property was perfect. Wish Robin our host could be my next door neighbor she was so great and welcoming. Had 11 family membrs stay for daughter's wedding in Dripping Springs, hosted a 40 pax BBQ which was perfect for the property. Only draw back is I wish I could have stayed longer and really enjoy such a beautiful place. Robin thank you so much for makig everything so special.

Dripping Springs retreat during family wedding
The property is absolutely beautiful with endless amenities for an extended family get-together. The house is lovely and meticulously decorated by Robin, the owner, as it is her family home. Even better than the house were the outdoor amenities with numerous comfortable seating and conversation areas. Needless to say, the pool and hot tub were endlessly entertaining for our grandchildren. T

Perfect home for our family getaway…
We couldn’t have chosen a better place for our family getaway. My adult children and I wanted a place to relax, cook, enjoy the outdoors and make family memories and this house did not disappoint. The owners were great and made us so comfortable. Nice big kitchen and dining table for our family meals and the pool and backyard patio were fabulous! We had an overall great experience, thank you Robyn!

More Family Fun
Our family stayed at this property pre-pandemic, and we were so happy to get to stay in it again. The property is clean, well supplied, and comfortable. There was plenty of room for the eight of us (including two teenagers). The owners were easy to reach and very accommodating. Upon arrival, we felt immediately right at home. We were in the area during some very hot weather, but this did not lessen our enjoyment. The pool was a refreshing respite from the heat, and there was plenty of space for lounging and enjoying each other’s company. The entire family got a kick out of watching the antics of the two outside cats. We were responsible for feeding them during our stay, but we did not mind as they were always entertaining us. The house also provided a good base for exploring the Dripping Springs area. There are plenty of wineries and breweries nearby, as well as shopping on Mercer Street, hiking at Reimers Ranch, visiting the Texas Hill Country Olive Company, and even putt-putt golfing at Dreamland. We all immensely enjoyed our family vacation here, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great place for a family gathering.

Perfect Girls Getaway
What an amazing property for our annual girls getaway! Beautiful house with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. Lovely patio for morning coffee and watching hummingbirds. Gorgeous pool! Everything we needed was provided, from kitchen gadgets to pool towels. The owners were delightful and always just a text away if we needed them. We all had the best time and would visit again in a heartbeat. Thank you for the hospitality, Robin!

Amazing Birthday Trip
This property blew my expectations away. Beautiful house with lots of comfortable room for everyone, on a beautiful piece of land, and an amazing pool that was SO fun and refreshing in this crazy June heat we're having. The pictures don't do justice to the reality of the property. Home owner responds immediately. Kids were thrilled to see some deer and a couple of little foxes, and the two SWEET outdoor kittens were a HIT ♥️ Can't recommend enough!!!!!!

Mother's Day Weekend
We had a fantastic time! The house was beautiful and Robin gave us a tour and helpful hints when we arrived. There were so many things to do nearby, but other than a quick visit to Deep Eddy, we never left the property. We spent all our time in and around the pool or sitting on the back patio. We never had any issues, but felt that if we did, Robin would have addressed it immediatlely. It was a wonderful weekend with our kids and grandkids and it flew by. Sadly, it is back to reality.

Great property
Very quiet and private. Beautiful property and swimming pool. Home owners very communicative and helpful. Only comment is that without a pool fence, supervising young non-swimmers was challenging, with adults going in and out of house. An automatic back door-closer would have been so helpful!

About the host

Hosted by Robin

Host profile image
We designed and built this house for family closeness and entertaining friends. We've raised our boys in this home and on this property. Now that they are not home full time, we wanted to share the place with others and earn some extra income.

Why they chose this property

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 property 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.
