Great place to stay to explore the area.

The location is great being just a short distance from a major hwy. Just a quick trip to either Austin or Dripping Springs with a great coffee shop and pizza nearby. Cute place to stay that's quiet and feels like your further out of town than you really are. It offered us everything we needed for our weekend stay.

Love this accomodation!

Everything as advertised, and hosts always available if needed. Little touches to make the experience special. I only wish we'd had the chance to spend more time relaxing on the beautiful property, but we had people to see and F1 races to go to. Things that are important to me in a VRBO are super quiet, clean, a good hair dryer, basic kitchen and toiletry items, and a good bed. Over the years, I'd found it harder and harder to find accommodations that are as advertised - this one hits the mark on all these things and everything else in the listing. From a mileage standpoint, this is close to the city center (13-15 miles), but Austin traffic and construction is no fun, so the drive can be a little longer than you'd anticipate for the distance depending on the time of day.

Perfect spot both room and location!

Cozy but spacious space with everything you will need! Very clean with beautiful back yard setting. The owner did a great job with everything especially having it clean. Lastly, was a great location to take advantage of all Dripping Springs has to offer!

Great Stay!

I'm so glad we found this wonderful "casita" to stay in for a wedding we attended in Dripping Springs. The property was great - so quiet at night! - and the location was convenient to all of the events we attended. The space was pristine, beautifully decorated, and provided everything we needed. In addition, Kathryn was an incredibly responsive and friendly host.

Cute place

My husband and I were looking for a last minute getaway and found this cute place! The queen size bed was very comfortable with lots of pillows (which was great because I forgot mine). Large TV with Netflix, nice sitting area with pullout couch, kitchenette area with mini-fridge, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker. This place was perfect for just the 2 of us!!! We would definitely stay here again!!

Super clean and super friendly!

This was our first time staying anywhere other than a hotel and we were nervous but were so pleasantly surprised! The room was super cute and extremely clean…when I say clean, I mean CLEAN. Kathryn was available without delay anytime we had a question. She made sure our needs were met and also went out of her way to make sure our daughter had an amazing time. The white tailed deer, their beautiful horses and clean property made our stay just wonderful! We would def. go back !
