The property is as pictured, very nice, comfortable, and clean. Minor maintenance issues but all in all everything you can ask for in a weekend getaway. We bought groceries and never had to leave for anything but there are plenty of places close by if you wanted to leave. We even did in home massages.

This home was gorgeous and absolutely spotless clean. The beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook some great meals. We even cooked in the outdoor kitchen which was an extra special treat paired with the amazing backyard and views! From the swimming pool to the backyard fire pit, we couldn't ask for a better quick getaway. This has to be one of the cleanest rentals I've stayed at in a long while with a phenomenal backyard with a view! I would definitely stay here again when in the area!

Great stay, would book again! Perfect spot for my group of 7 adults for our annual vacation. Communication with the property managers was great and the house was sparkling clean, which we really appreciated. Our favorite part was the outdoor deck, where we spent the majority of our time lounging around the saltwater pool and grilling up meals. Amenities were fantastic, especially the Ooni pizza oven, which we had fun making pizzas with. Overall a perfect Dripping Springs getaway!
