About this property

The Blue Door- Cozy Ranch Style for up to 6 in the Texas Hill Country~Come Stay!

The Blue Door is a cozy ranch style home located just one mile from the center of downtown "Drip" on an acre of beautiful Texas Hill Country land. So close to town, but feels like you're out in the country. It's perfectly located whether you're enjoying the local wine/beer tours, attending a wedding/special event...or just exploring the Hill Country Trail ~and it's only 30 min to downtown Austin (if you're inclined to head in that direction).
We are conveniently located near the many beautiful area parks, rivers and lakes, as well as a multitude of wedding venues, breweries, wineries, distilleries, entertainment, shopping and dining.
It is the perfect home to visit close by Hill Country attractions like Twisted X, Deep Eddy, Hamilton Pool, the Austin Zoo and the Salt Lick...and even to visit great neighboring towns like Driftwood, Wimberley and Buda.

Spend your days enjoying all the nearby parks, swimming holes and attractions, your evenings on the back porch watching the gorgeous Texas sunset and your nights star gazing. ~As a designated "International Dark Sky Community", Dripping Springs actively works to preserve clear, unobstructed views of the night sky which provides unparalleled night sky visibility and spectacular views of stars.

The home and property are yours to explore, however~
1. please be cautious when walking through the back half of the property that has naturally tall grasses.
2. The Blue Door is on Ranch Road 12 close to downtown "Drip", so it can get busy during certain times of the day... But the home is set far back from the road and has a large backyard to enjoy as well.
Other things to note: To help you enjoy a truly relaxing weekend, Wifi and basic TV channels are provided, or login to your favorite streaming platforms for a cozy movie night at home.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Nico was a fantastic host and was extremely responsive when an issue arose. Couldn't have asked for a better VRBO experience and the property itself was lovely. Would absolutely rent again.

The place is very cute. The kitchen is the best suppli d kitchen I have ever stayed in. All of the staples were available as well as tools. Plus spices olive oil lots of coffee and tea etc. my only feed back to get better pillows. But that could be a me problem. Also if you sleep late be aware that your off a main road and it’s noisy.

The host has thoughtfully prepared this listing. The kitchen is fully equipped with appliances and cook- and dish ware, including a few spices, olive oil, etc. (Otherwise you’ll need to bring the ingredients if you are going to cook.) It was too hot for us to enjoy the back garden, complete with seating and games. There is also a covered outside dining area. Be aware the front porch faces the road, so there is some road noise, which we didn’t even notice after a while (night is not nearly as busy). There is a natural fence/hedge that provides some privacy from the road. We enjoyed our stay and it’s a sweet little house for a couple or small group.
