About this property

Historic Dripping Springs-Clean, Quiet Designer Cottage Walk To Shops And Dining

Welcome to The Murray House – Your Hill Country Home Away From Home! Professionally cleaned before every stay with fresh linens and towels provided.

Stay in the heart of Dripping Springs' Hays Historic District in a beautifully decorated, professionally maintained Craftsman home. Located on a quiet residential street, The Murray House combines small-town charm with the comforts of home, just minutes from wedding venues, shopping, dining and Hill Country attractions.

A Great Location:
Walk to local favorites like Pig Pen BBQ and Rolling in Thyme & Dough Bakery. Whether you're attending a Hill Country wedding, exploring Dripping Springs or visiting family and friends, you'll appreciate being close to everything while enjoying the peace and privacy of a residential neighborhood.

Room to Relax and Gather:
Comfortably sleeping up to 7 guests, The Murray House offers multiple comfortable seating areas, a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, and inviting front and back porches. Enjoy your morning coffee on the porch, unwind in the private backyard or gather with friends and family after a day exploring the Hill Country.

Traveling with little ones? A porta-crib and high chair are provided.

Thoughtful Extras:
We provide coffee and snacks to help you settle in and feel at home. Whether you're getting ready for the big day, enjoying a weekend getaway or staying a little longer, we've designed The Murray House to be comfortable, convenient and welcoming.

A Little Hill Country Character:
Although we're located within the Dripping Springs city limits, the surrounding area retains its rural charm, with ranches and farms nearby. Occasionally, you may hear a rooster crowing or a cow mooing in the distance. It's all part of the Hill Country experience!

My family and I really enjoyed our time at the Murray House while we were visiting Dripping Springs for a family wedding. It was in such a good part of town and easy to get around to different venues nearby as well as boutiques and cafes. It was so clean, spacious and comfortable. The host has thought of everything to help you feel at home. The next time we are in town, I will definitely like to book this house again. Thank you so much!!

Great location in a charming neighborhood in Dripping Springs. A 1-min walk to an awesome bakery / coffee / lunch spot, Thyme and Dough. We were in town for a wedding and found out later the Heritage Festival was going on that weekend. A very close walk to the festival, so that was a bonus. Very clean and well-equipped - the host was very responsive...
