You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

⭐️ ⭐️ The Best of Both Worlds—Great Location for Austin & Hill Country ⭐️ ⭐️

You can have the best of both worlds - this guesthouse is located within minutes of Austin and The Hill Country. It's close to many wedding venues, wineries, and breweries. Austin, a city known for its eclectic live-music scene centered around country, blues, and rock, is only a short drive away.

This private guesthouse is immaculate; the owner was a former Superyacht stewardess and takes pride in making sure it is spotless.

This park-like property is filled with majestic oaks, white-tailed deer, and other natural wildlife. A creek flows through the property and is often frequented by herons. On a cool, clear Hill Country night, you can gaze at the stars sitting by the fire pit. If you love animals, you will feel right at home; there are horses, dogs, and cats.

The guesthouse has a private entrance and carport, and a kitchenette with a mini-fridge/microwave/combination toaster/convection/air fryer oven. A fully stocked coffee bar, premium toiletries, and complimentary wine, crackers & cheese are a few of the owner's extra special touches. It shares a beautiful 5-Acres with the owners and has everything you need.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Superb time!
The house was perfect! We loved the cheese, crackers and chocolates upon arrival. We also got to meet the horses and view the property. Surrounding areas was great as well, good restaurants, close to everything and the hiking suggestion was amazing!

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 !

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!!
