About this property

Views! - Guest Barn in the Texas Hill Country

Sitting on 21 acres of undeveloped hill country, you’ll enjoy all the views and luxuries of modern living in this remodeled Guest house barn. We call our private hill top retreat: "Our Hill Town" because it reminds us of some of the small Italian hilltowns.

You have absolute privacy but are not completely alone in the woods. This type of vacation is for those who want the most amazing view and privacy but don’t want to be too far from town.

We are surrounded by wineries, wedding venues and breweries. You will enjoy a 270 degree view of the hill country! The privacy and views will amaze you.

Take your favorite beverage and enjoy the amazing Texas sunsets while sitting in an adirondack chair, around a firepit.

You can watch all the goings-on of the property from the upstairs rooms in the Guest Barn.

You can watch both the sunrise and the sunset from the Living room of The Guest Barn at Our Hill Town.

We have other rental properties listed for your friends to come and stay near you at Our Hill Town. Look for them on VRBO.

Come and enjoy the tranquility and peacefulness of the Hill Country.

Please note that this is a private Hill Top Residence and we work hard to keep our property quiet and peaceful for all guests. . Please do not give out our gate code and/or invite any additional guests to our property.

Families welcome!

We had a party of four adults and two kids. The Barn was roomy enough for all of us, comfortable and clean with so many thoughtful touches to make us feel right at home. It’s close enough to Dripping Springs to be convenient but far enough out to be in the country. It’s sits atop a hill with beautiful views of the Hill Country.

First off - our Host, Cindy & Troy were fabulous!!! There were special touches everywhere from them - notes welcoming us, a wonderful gift of a monogrammed tea towel, snacks, drinks, morning coffee and even dog treats for our pup! I mean WOW!!! We loved the "Barndominium," clean, roomy, great little home away from home! Even had the ability to stream our favorite shows at night! Next came the views - spectacular location to watch a Hill Country Sunset! They had Adirondack chairs set up and if it had been cold a wonderful fire pit! We swam, grilled out, played Corn Hole and basically didn't want to leave - not to mention our lab had the time of her life also! The perfect spot to get away!

Cute and comfy

We were in town for a wedding and Hilltop Views was the perfect place to stay. Not too far from anything you would want to do in Dripping Springs. The Guest Barn was awesome, as the title says, cute and comfy. Definitely recommend. The hosts stopped by to welcome us and make sure we had everything we needed

Beautiful scenic views!

This is a beautiful property with scenic views and wonderful breezes! We enjoyed the pool and serene hill country views! The Barn was perfect for two couples with one master upstairs and another downstairs with complete privacy for both! The kitchen was well stocked and was nice to cook one dinner and breakfast both days before we headed out to enjoy the nearby distilleries and wineries. Thank you Cindy for saying hello while we were out on the property. Your hospitality was over the top with snacks, water, homemade honey and hill county tea towels. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful getaway in the Hill Country

From the moment we arrived at this property, we were in awe of the place. I frequently stay in the Hill Country and have stayed at many places. This place is a gem that I’m glad I found. The views are spectacular, every detail is thought of and provided in terms of house furnishings and the place is immaculate. The owner was very friendly and easy to deal with as she even made some special accommodations for our group at the last minute. Will definitely return!

Host profile image
We are Cindy and Troy and love sharing our property and views with people from around the world. We hope you enjoy Our Hill Town as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Our Hill Town provides privacy, and remarkable views of the Texas Hill Country. Our private hill top reminded us of a small hilltown in Italy.

You can watch the amazing Texas Sunrises and Sunsets from our hill top.

Our Motto is:
Relax, Lounge, Laze, Dally, Rest

What makes this property unique

With 3 buildings on a private hill top, we have the most amazing views in the Texas Hill Country.

We have various hill country animals that prance through the property. Fox, deer, armadillo and some beautiful birds.

The swimming pool has a black bottom which warms the water a little sooner in the year than most pools. It's large and you can even see the view while floating in the pool.

We love sharing our unique property with guests.
