About this property

The Foothills House with pool, hot tub, and sauna on 1.5 acres

Charming home filled with natural light on 1.5 acres with guesthouse, pool, hot tub, sauna, and outdoor kitchen with endless views of the hill country from the 2nd floor.
Ideal location for weddings in the Drippings Springs and Driftwood area or just to get away from the city!
You will enjoy the quiet of the hill country only 25 min from Austin.
Pets are welcome in the guesthouse only.


DETAILS

You have the entire property to yourself: main house, guesthouse, pool, sauna, large backyard with trampoline, ping pong table, and batting cage.

PETS: we only allow pets in the guesthouse and the backyard. Pets are not allowed in the main house, unfortunately. 2 pets max.

Enjoy the hill country views from the 2nd-floor bedrooms as well as from the crow's nest!

The main house has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths
The master bedroom has a king-size bed.
Bedrooms 2 and 3 have queen beds.
The 4th bedroom is in our guesthouse which is in a separate building, right on the other side of the pool. The guesthouse is a studio suite. It has a queen bed and a full futon sofa bed. It has its own kitchen and bathroom with a shower.

The main house also has a crow's nest/playroom on the 3rd floor (not counted in the number of bedrooms) with 2 twin foldable mattresses.
It can get a little warm there in the summer but it can accommodate additional guests such as children.

Note that there are stairs (with rails) to get to all the bedrooms and the guesthouse.

The outdoor area includes a pool, a hot tub, a sauna, a chicken coop, a patio with chairs and a dining table, a fire pit, a batting cage, a trampoline, a swing, a ping pong table and an outdoor kitchen with a grill, a smoker, a sink, and a small refrigerator to keep your drinks cold. :-)

Our pool is a volleyball-type pool with 3 levels: 3 ft on one end, 5 ft deep in the middle and 4 ft deep at the other end.
Note the pool is not gated. Refer to our pool and sauna waiver under the rules section.

We do our best to be descriptive here but if you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out!

You will be provided all the details to check-in a few days before your arrival. There is plenty of parking space in front of the house. We have a circular driveway that can accommodate a good number of vehicles.
