Very nice private location, very clean and comfortable home. Loved the big back porch and deck area. Kitchen was very well stocked, and the beds were very comfortable. One of the top Vrbo's we have stayed at!
This was the perfect getaway for our family with grand parents. We had plenty to do at the house and Dripping Springs was close by to shop and eat. This home is so well thought out with the pool, gas fire pit, grill, and heated pool were awesome!
Enjoyed our stay. Took advantage of the outdoor space spending lots of time in the pool. Loved sitting out on the patio enjoying morning coffee and family dinners.
What a lovely property. We loved it. Out of all the Verbo’s this was our favorite. Great location, close to things to do and see. Nice pool, and view. We loved Jerry the cat.
Best place we have ever stayed. Large property, private, great back porch / deck / pool area with nice view of hills. The house interior, appliances, furniture, etc were top notch. The decorations, games, amenities were very thoughtful. Flocks of deer were awesome. We would stay here again!
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!
The listing was just as described. Was so peaceful and felt like a private hideaway. Property smelt clean when we arrived, they had the pool heating and ready to go for the kids at Check-in. We considered going out to play in dripping springs but enjoyed the back porch so much we stayed at the house instead! Would definitely return! Highly recommend.
This property was the perfect stay for a family weekend get away. The views are amazing, the pool is perfect for all ages and the fire pit is the best place to sit around during sunrise and sunset. There is beautiful wildlife around and the peace and quiet lets you reset from your busy life! The inside of the home is beautiful and provided all the needs you could have from pots and dishware in the kitchen to blankets and creature comforts for the rooms. They even have a dog run area for your pups!! We will definitely be coming back to stay!
Wonderful time! Very relaxing and feels homey. Tons of games and living space, may just need to bring a few pool floats of your own (only had noodles). Will definitely be coming back!
Overall wonderful. Bunkbed very squeaky. Septic tank smelly. Enjoyed the large outdoor bbq grill and pizza oven! Pool was fun! Horseback riding and park hiking/swimming-We enjoyed our family weekend vaca! Great spot and fun area. Thanks!
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 property exceeded our expectations! The different and unique gathering areas gave my multigenerational family a wonderful holiday while attending a wedding in Dripping Springs.
My bridesmaids and I stayed here for the weekend and it was everything we could have expected! From the amazing view from the pool to the cozy fire pit area at the bottom of the pool, everything was amazing! Will definitely be coming back with my family after the wedding!
My family rented this place for a quick July 4th getaway. Everything was great. This was one of the nicer vacation homes we've rented. The kitchen and grill were stocked with just about everything you could need. Everything was as expected and check-in process was easy. Would rent again.
