Cozy hilltop guesthouse at Barkspin Oaks Ranch. Beautiful views!

The Cowhouse is a charming hilltop guesthouse nestled within Barkspin Oaks Ranch, a 61-acre ranch in the picturesque Texas Hill Country. Located approximately 8 miles southwest of Dripping Springs, this cozy retreat offers breathtaking views that stretch for miles. It’s conveniently close to local wineries, distilleries, and wedding venues, including Alexander at Creek Rd, Camp Lucy, and Cricket Hill Ranch. Other scenic hill country towns like Wimberley and Blanco are within a 30-minute drive, while Fredericksburg is easily accessible within an hour.

The Cowhouse provides a secluded and private haven for relaxation, complete with a fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. The kitchen seamlessly opens to the living area, featuring recently updated stainless steel appliances. The living room boasts a large window with an eastward view, perfect for enjoying spectacular sunrises. For entertainment, there’s free Wi-Fi, a Smart TV that also receives local network channels and a DVD player stocked with assorted movies.

Step outside onto the expansive 12 x 30 ft covered porch, which also faces east. Here, you can savor the breathtaking views throughout the day. The porch is equipped with a gas grill and multiple seating areas, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and outdoor dining.

Inside, the bedroom offers a comfortable king-sized bed, a spacious closet, and blackout curtains for restful sleep. The bathroom features a combination tub/shower, toilet, and vanity. Additionally, the laundry room houses a large top-loading washing machine and a sizable dryer.

The Cowhouse has a heartwarming backstory: Built in 2008 by the owners, Andi and Jerry, it originally served as their weekend home. Back then, there was no fence to keep out the livestock, and the curious cows would often approach the house. Their grandson affectionately dubbed it the Cowhouse, as he and his sister loved watching the cows up close. The name stuck, capturing the essence of this rustic retreat.

Barkspin Oaks Ranch, part of a larger ranch settled by Andi’s grandparents nearly 100 years ago, remains rugged and teems with wildlife. Deer, rabbits, and a family of foxes call it home. Bird feeders attract a variety of avian visitors, and occasionally, a pair of hawks graces the skies. It’s a place where nature and tranquility converge, inviting guests to unwind and connect with the land.

The Cowhouse is over 200 feet away from the owners' home and both are on top of a hill inside a 4-acre fenced area. The main house is located where it does not impact the great views seen from the Cowhouse. Outdoor living areas for both homes are separated by trees and there is enough space between them to ensure privacy. The owners and guests will share the private road to the public road but the Cowhouse has a separate parking area. The Cowhouse is 0.3 miles from the public road.

Guests will be allowed to walk around the mowed areas of the fenced 4 acres at their own risk. Guests are not allowed outside of this fenced area except when entering or exiting in their vehicle.

No Smoking or Vaping.

Check-in is 4pm and Check-out is 10am.

No Pets are allowed.

Beautiful view

Without a doubt, the Cowhouse was the cleaniest, best stocked, and most organized we've ever stayed and we've stayed at numerous VRBO properties over the years. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Spectacular Views and Exceptional Hospitality

This has been one of the nicest VRBOs we’ve ever stayed in. The beautiful hilltop location offers spectacular views of the Texas Hill Country, making it a truly special place. Andi, was the most gracious hostess we’ve ever had—welcoming us upon arrival with a warm greeting and a brief tour. She has meticulously thought of everything her guests might need, from snacks and quick foods to drinks and other thoughtful touches. We truly enjoyed our stay and appreciate all the care that has gone into making this such a wonderful retreat.

Great getaway

The property was very relaxing. My husband and I went there for our third anniversary to get away from the city. He loved watching the deer just outside the house. We ate lunch on the porch and so relaxed that we fell asleep in the chairs. We would definitely combat the view is wonderful and the atmosphere is amazing. And tell my mom about it and she's thinking about booking it for herself. The place is clean and they provide snacks and drinks just in case. Not to mention extra towels blankets pillows and soap. And Miss Andi was a great hostess and willing to make suggestions gor entertainment and places to eat.We're definitely going back there again.

Breathtaking view

Waking in the morning to open the curtains to watch the beautiful color of the sun raising was the ultimate experience!! Enjoying to quite songs of the birds while sipping our morning coffee while hearing roosters in the distance is relaxing. Andi and Jerry were great with commication and providing privacy. Very relaxing and well stocked accommodations. We look forward to returning the next time we need a getaway to re-energize and spend time together. Andi was fantastic in

Fantastic Hill country getaway (and great for telescopes)!

This property is the PERFECT place to get away from it all. The house is fully furnished with everything modern, a huge smart tv, wifi access, full stocked kitchen, big refrigerator with ice maker, a laundry room with large size washer and dryer, roomy bathroom, plenty of storage space for long stays and a huge comfortable bed.The wifi has good bandwidth, easily enough to do conference calls or video conferences or any other remote work you may want to do.The real magic is outside. The property overlooks a valley with a large covered porch, bbq. Right out front are a pair of chair swings overlooking the valley. Fantastic way to spend a morning or evening just enjoying the silence.For me I went here to get good sky views to do some telescope astrophotography. This is a great place to see the skies (scope or not) and is far enough away from Austin that you don't see as much light pollution.Overall I highly recommend staying here!

Charming Hill Country Get A Way

Nestled in the rolling hills just minutes from Dripping Springs the Cowhouse is a gem. From the host to the house and check-in instructions everything was amazing. Well stocked with snacks and any items you might of forgotten. Andi, was an amazing host. They made us feel like family. I loved the BBQ grill and the views were out of this world. I truly look forward to visiting again.

Serenity Now

The Texas Hill Country is a beautiful place and the Cow House offers unrivaled views. The property is secluded, quiet and peaceful. The rental is clean and cozy. The owners keep it stocked with coffee, water and snacks. Keep your eye out for armadillos, deer, cows, pronghorns, longhorns and road runners.

Perfection!

Everything about the Cowhouse was exceptional! My husband and I were both thrilled with all of the amenities, saving us a trip to the grocery store upon our arrival. Andi, the host, anticipated all of our needs and desires by supplying an abundance of snacks, water, Kcups, laundry detergent and more. The bed was comfortable and the bath towels were the best! The view is lovely and on the last two days we experienced the beautiful sunrise from the patio! We will definitely rent again!

Stay Here! Home Away From Home!

Wow! From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were highly impressed. Beautiful Cowhouse w/all 5-star amenities. Bed had crisp, high-quality sheets, towels felt like luxurious blankets after showers, pillows were thick, yet billowy and soft! Kitchen cabinets fully stocked w/snacks, and refrigerator as well. We felt like we were visiting our grandparents for the weekend with how welcome our stay was. Fruit tray, snacks, juices, milk, water, tons of coffee pods, full couch, huge tv, full washroom, and THE VIEW! 15-20mins from restaurants, breweries, distilleries, etc...We are coming back!

Place was very cozy and extremely clean, the owner met us there and pointed everything out that we needed to know, was very quiet and peaceful place, is out in the country a little ways which for some people would not maybe like it, but for us cause we live in the country to was no big deal for us, only thing that would maybe been little but nicer was to have a tv in the bedroom also since we like watching movies, news, Etc, from the bed, but overall would highly recommend this place, had a fantastic stay

the best vrbo in Dripping Springs (& beyond!)

This was by far the most amazing rental/VRBO experience we have ever had. Below are just a few factors that made our stay 100/10; - communication - ease of access to property (while always feeling safe) - amenities from a laundry room to a makeup light they spoiled us (I’ve stayed at 5 star hotels that don’t offer 1/2 of what Cowhouse has to offer) - snacks, coffee, bottled water, the list goes on! - friendliness - pricing (worth EVERY penny!) - clean (very clean) - cows (including a baby 🐄) they are the absolute cutest cows - views (outdoor seating, bench, swing, etc) gorgeous views of Texas’ Hill Country I can’t say enough. We were in town for a wedding and now we want to go back to Dripping Springs just so we can stay at a Cowhouse! The best hosts ever.

Cowhouse anniversary weekend

My wife and I were in the Dripping Springs area for a wedding that happened to coincide with our anniversary so we spent the weekend at the Cowhouse. This place is fantastic if you wish to be a short drive from town while having a fantastic view and a place to kick back and relax. The view from the porch is pretty amazing as you can sit and swing or have morning coffee or meal at one of the outdoor tables. Inside the house is spotless and the furnishings are top notch with high end bedding and towels in the bathroom. No detail is left out with everything you need whether you are coming and going or just hanging out. The kitchen was stocked with every utensil you might need to prepare a meal and there was a great selection of coffees, tea and even hot cocoa as well as a great variety of snacks and foods. Andi is a great hostess and she made our stay very easy and relaxing. We would 100% stay here again without hesitation when we are in the area. I would recommend the Cowhouse to anyone looking for a quiet spot with incredible views.

Om värden

Andi Berry är värd

Värdens profilbild
My mother's parents lived on a large ranch that Barkspin Oaks was originally part of and my father's parents lived on a farm about a mile away. When I was a kid I would ride around the ranch with my uncle. I grew up in Austin and then moved to San Antonio, but continued to spend a lot of time at the family ranch and Dripping Springs. The hill that the Cowhouse is located on was, and still is, my favorite place. And in 2015 I was finally able to move to the ranch and have my home on that hill.

Jerry and I are retired but we are very active doing projects around the ranch. We are here most of the time and are available if you have any questions. We also will respect your privacy. Please let us know if you prefer no contact. Feel free to ask for something you need or to inquire about the area.

Varför värden valde detta boende

The first thing everyone who visits does is stop and take in the view. Our 4-acre fenced tract covers most of the hilltop and you can walk and see in all directions in minutes. Sunrises and sunsets can be spectacular. We are far enough away from cities to have great views of the stars. We see storms coming from miles away.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

The Cowhouse was our weekend home for seven years. We designed it to be comfortable for us and have the amenities we needed. We wanted it to have enough room and feel homey and not like we were in a hotel room. Jerry insisted that we have the 12 x 30 ft covered front porch so we could relax, grill, and eat outdoors, and enjoy the views. We want our guests to enjoy what we also enjoyed for years.
