About this property

Tawnya’s Secret Hideaway | 20-Mile Views • Firepit

Wake up to sweeping 20-mile Hill Country views at this spacious three-bedroom, two-bath retreat located just outside Dripping Springs — the gateway to the Hill Country and the Wedding Capital of Texas. Perfectly positioned near local wineries, breweries, distilleries, and wedding venues, this peaceful getaway offers the ideal balance of privacy, comfort, and convenience.

Spanning nearly 2,900 square feet on two acres, the home blends Hill Country charm with modern comfort. The open living area features wood-beamed ceilings, abundant natural light, and comfortable seating perfect for gathering and relaxation. The adjoining dining area seats six with a breakfast bar for three, while the fully equipped kitchen includes both drip and Keurig coffee makers and stainless steel appliances — ideal for laid-back mornings or evenings spent with a glass of local wine.

The home comfortably sleeps up to eight guests. The primary suite upstairs includes a king bed, ensuite bathroom, and panoramic Hill Country views, now enhanced with soundproof window inserts for quiet rest. Two additional bedrooms each feature a queen bed, and the living room offers a full-size sofa bed for extra guests.

Step outside to enjoy Hill Country views from the private patio, complete with a swing, shaded pavilion, and ample seating — including Adirondack chairs, loungers, and a picnic table. The fully fenced backyard offers something for everyone: a wood-burning fire pit, sandbox, swingset with slide, and a tire swing under the oaks.

For outdoor cooking, you’ll find a gas grill out back and a charcoal grill in front, plus a basketball hoop and ball in the driveway for extra fun. Whether you’re sipping morning coffee at sunrise or relaxing by the fire pit under the stars, Tawnya’s Secret Hideaway is designed for family connection and outdoor living.

Inside, guests will enjoy high-speed Wi-Fi, smart-lock entry, and thoughtful touches throughout. The home includes board and card games, a laundry room, and all essential safety features such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a first aid kit, and a fire extinguisher.

The kitchen has many options for preparing meals. It has coffee pods and 2 types of coffee makers. The host was very responsive and provided dishwashing products and laundry products. The washer and dryer were wonderful and very clean and there is even a bin for recycling. The outside play area and back patio were amazing. This home was kid friendly with amazing views and close to many venues, restaurants and grocery stores. All in all a wonderful experience.

Myself and a couple friends recently stayed here for 6 nights for a golf and Formula 1 vacation. We stayed in Drippin since we had stayed/lived in the are in the past and we loved its small town vibe. Our stay here was fantastic and the only regret is that we were pretty busy so didn't have as much time as we would have liked to relax on the property and soak in the tremendous views of the surrounding hills and sunsets. Saying that, enjoying coffee in the morning and a beverage in the evening were a must for us and really made the visit memorable.The house has three well appointed BRs and were very comfortable for us. The home and yard were super clean and also very comfortable. Kitchen supplies including coffee were plentiful and greatly appreciated. A washer and dryer with supplies were also available which really helped as well. The swingset would be a great place for children to play although us old folks enjoyed the hanging benches with a beer viewing the hills.Chris the host was always available when we had a couple questions on the reservation. We will definitely stay here again the future.

Peaceful place a short drivw from Austin

We stayed here when in town for a wedding. What a peaceful place this was. We watched deer, coyotes and roadrunners wander just on the other side of the fence. The deck was amazing. Property was well maintained and equipped with everything we needed. Stires were nearby and plenty of places to explore. I would absolutely stay here again if travels take me back to this area.

Dripping Springs Hideaway on a Hill

We loved everything from start to finish! Upon arriving we immediately noticed how clean the property was and how perfectly setup and arranged the rooms and layout were. The views off the back patio are simply stunning! The deer were another highlight, delighting these city folk every morning and evening. Absolutely the spring break we needed. Thank you, Chris, for your hospitality and kindness! You’ve got a gem! Blessings to you.

The property was just what we needed to house extra guests visiting from out of state. The home has incredible views and we enjoyed relaxing on the deck. Very comfortable accommodations and well supplied.
