Great pool, I paid to heat it and my kids loved it. Nice setup with most BR on ground floor and a seperate area upstairs for the kiddos. Management company was very responsive but otherwise left us alone.
How to use all the technology in the home could have been explained better. The outside cushions were dirty and the outside walking area could have been blown off. But overall was good! Would definitely go back.
This is a beautiful property. This home is well designed and beautifully constructed. The pool and outdoor space are phenomenal! The grotto in the pool allows enjoyment even during a hot August day. The property was clean and well appointed. My only suggestion would be a guide on controlling the electronics in the house. We spent some time trying to find pool lights and the spa jets, until we finally found it in the main control panel. The kitchen is an amazing space. We made a wedding cake for my son’s wedding, while at the same time the family had meals and moved around without having to shuffle to get out of each other’s way. The rooms are spacious and beds comfortable. I’m sad we didn’t have time to use the popcorn machine- we were all excited about it! Having the space upstairs for the kids of the group was perfect. Thanks much.
Fabulous space and convenient location. Backyard area was built for entertaining. Our family had a great time.

Thank you for staying with Walker Luxury Vacation Rentals! We look forward to hosting you again!
Easy check in. Amazing property inside and outBeautiful setup outside, but the kitchen deserves its own praise. Top tier appliances & cookware were a pleasant surprise.
This home is absolutely gorgeous! The exterior was spotless and so inviting. We had a small family gathering and there were multiple outside tables to gather/eat/drink. The pool and outdoor sitting areas were just beautiful and everything was so clean. The beds were SO comfy and the home was so cozy. We hope to stay here again next summer!
Beautiful property inside and out! Quite possibly the most comfortable bed and bedding of all time. Highly recommend!!

Thank you sincerely for your delightful review following your recent stay with us. We are genuinely pleased to learn that your experience was enjoyable, and we sincerely hope for the opportunity to host you once again in the future.
This place has the loveliest back yard view- it’s like you have a resort all to yourself. The pool and hot tub are very nice with a lovely tree backdrop. The house is very clean, beds quite comfortable. Great family get together spot. Quiet neighborhood and about 20-25 minutes to a lot of the downtown restaurants.

There was no soap or shampoo in the showers but we normally take our own so it was not an issue for us. With that being said, the grounds and amenities were wonderful.
The house is exactly as pictured! Stunning!! Beds were comfortable. Plenty of space for everyone! It took us a day to figure out the technology that the house media and pool runs on, so a users manual might be warranted unless very tech savvy. Communication was good and we enjoyed our stay very much!

The house & back patio/pool were amazing!
There were a few things that should be addressed at the house:
- No Dish Soap when we arrived
- No extra Trash Bags
- No Dish towels
- The Smoker out back does not work
Other than those small things, we had a great time & would visit again. Thanks for having us!

Everyone in our crew loved the house, but the outdoor area and pool were the main attraction for us. There are several sitting areas outside, and it was just absolutely relaxing, and enjoyable for us all. The kids loved the slide and waterfall grotto. The space on the inside was very nicely decorated and laid out. Every bedroom had its own bathroom and tv to accommodate our group. The upstairs area was perfect for the kids. There’s also an outdoor shower and bathroom as well. Beautiful landscaping…I could go on and on. We loved it.
We gathered up all ages and stages of our family to enjoy this impressive respite in Dripping Springs. The neighborhood is rural but the location is minutes from any necessity for which a family might have a need. The three covered outdoor oasis settings are amazing, and we had a ball using the covered grotto behind the waterfall in the pool as well as the slide landscaped right into the setting. We had space to enjoy solitude and also settings in which the entire family of nine could gather to visit, dine, or play games at our leisure. Everyone had a lovely vacation in this home and its outdoor activities.
Everything was perfect and we had a great time at the property. Backyard and pool were awesome and kids had a great time! Only complaint is the outside area wasn’t cleaned very well so we didn’t use some of the areas. Also, would be nice to have instructions on the sound and tv systems. Very good technology but hard to figure out. Hot tub is on an auto off after so long so was cold a lot but did warm quickly… just had to keep Turing back on.
The property is amazing. The backyard was so much fun for the adults and the kids. The kitchen is the best-stocked VRBO kitchen I've ever been in.
The only issue we had was there were no sheets for the trundle beds. I reached out to WLVR by text and was told they were checking. I reached out again a day later and was told I would be updated through that text thread, but never was. We made do without sheets, but the communication with WLVR was not great.

Hi Casey!
Thank you for choosing Walker Luxury Vacation Rentals to host you and your group. We appreciate your honest feedback and figured out where the communication dropped. We took care of it.
Looking forward to hosting you again!
We wanted to explore the Austin area while celebrating Christmas. The house is new - roughly 3 years old - with many good and interesting things about it! It is in somewhat remote (25 mins drive to Austin downtown) area that is being developed and offered a good opportunity of silence and separation for our group of 10. There is an amazing pool and spa - heating these requires permission and costs 350 the first day and 150 for each day of heating with a mandate to be on throughout the whole stay (as this somehow slipped my attention, the property manager was very generous to waive the fee for the 3 days we had the spa on) - lovely open space living room with a joint kitchen, big bedrooms with their own restroom/shower facilities, spacious backyard with fireplaces and a firepit.The property management is responsive and accommodated several of our requests.
We absolutely love the house and the features it offered! Our only complaint was the management company. The house didn’t appear ready for us when we arrived…hoses still in the (dirty) pool, damp towels in ALL the bathrooms, hot tub not heating properly, the lack of instructions on how to use things (such as the awesome espresso machine, amazing washer/dryer, and complex control panel for heating/cooling house and pool, music system, etc.) and the full trash cans at the end of the drive that we had to call about AND then return to the house once emptied felt us a little disgruntled. Their communication was good but would prefer to not have to reach out to anyone about such things when we pay what we did per night. House 5 ⭐️’s, Management 2.5 ⭐️’s.
