This property was fantastic! We booked this cottage at the recommendation of friends who had stayed here. They now get the larger cottage and we meet at their place for meals. The walkability to downtown Dripping Springs is amazing. We came for the DS Songwriters Festival and were able to walk to all of the venues with no issue. We were left fresh baked breakfast bread with fruit, yogurt, water, and juice. The cabin was so clean and gorgeously decorated for fall. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom had everything we needed. Check in was a breeze and we didn't want to leave when the weekend was over. We've already booked for next year and will look forward to our stay all year. Great memories already created here! We're thinking about booking in the summer to take advantage of the springs that are located right behind the home.
