Whispering Oaks Main House with Pool/Fire-Pit/Hot tub on 10 Acres

Situated on 10 gorgeous hill country acres, this property presents a stunning impression. Consisting of the Main House with custom moldings, soaring ceilings, rich hardwood floors and massive walls of arch-topped windows. Living areas are bright and spacious.

Classic dormers and a full-length French balcony capture the eye and hold it, all the way down the tree-lined circular drive. One is greeted in the foyer by custom fluted door moldings, tall ceilings and a graceful staircase with iron-spindle balusters. Centered by a broad fireplace and built-in cabinetry, the handsome family room features a brilliant stand of windows that offer tranquil views of the backyard landscape and pool. The adjacent formal dining room is accented by an arched window and an iron chandelier that suspends from a 10’ ceiling.

The efficient and well-equipped kitchen features quarts tops, stainless-steel appliances that includes dual ovens, a beverage cooler and a six-burner gas stove. Enjoy relaxing views of the backyard and pool from the sun-filled breakfast room.

Bright with natural sunlight, the primary suite is a quiet escape from the main living area. It has private access to the covered patio and pool. The primary bath has dual vanities, a jet tub, frame less glass shower and an walk-in closet with built-in drawers. The main floor also holds a second guest bedroom. The upstairs has four bedrooms as well as a bonus sitting area with a work station. A secondary staircase located by the kitchen leads up to another bedroom and a bonus room that has 2 queen beds with a separate bedroom off of it.

The home’s sprawling park-like grounds are punctuated with hardwood, elm and native oak trees. Water-efficient plants and child-safe wrought-iron fencing surround a pool with a hot tub and a poolside cabana with twin wide-screen TV’s.

The Hill country offers terrific wedding venues, Winery tours, Brewery tours, Distillery Tours and small town ambiance. While Austin has all the amenities a big city has to offer, plus great music festivals such as ACL , SXSW and the 360 Amphitheater has the biggest musical acts in the business.

Family Celebration
An absolutely incredible house and surrounding property. It was perfect for our family gathering of 14 persons to celebrate several key events ranging from a diamond wedding anniversary, 50th birthday, high school and college graduations. The kitchen was extremely well fitted out with high quality equipment and everything that we needed to make our stay feel like home. Without a doubt the pool was the main attraction! The only minor glitch that was experienced was a shortage of hot water on the first morning; Josh quickly responded to our call and fixed the problem in a short period of time.

Great Place and Highly Recommended
Both the place and hosts were great. The property was an easy drive from downtown and close to a lot of local spots like breweries and distilleries. We highly recommend staying here. Everything was very clean and in good order. The property is huge. For clarification, one of the twin beds listed is a trundle bed, but it is a nice matress for the trundle. Also, purchasing firewood for the firepit and propane for the grill are the obligation of the renters so be prepared for that. There is a homedepot and HEB just a few minutes away, so not a big deal.

Perfect house for our group!
We had a group of 18 adults stay several days and everyone loved their stay. We all travel together every July and this was our favorite home for the past 13 years. The kitchen was stocked with everything you’d need. Everything! The entire house was perfect for all of us and that says a lot for 16 adults. The pool is large and awesome. We enjoyed all the outside amenities! If you’re considering a place for a group, this is it! You won’t regret it.

Beautiful place to stay
My now husband and I decided to stay here with our families during the weekend of our wedding and I don’t have enough words to express how happy we were during our stay. The house was so comfortable and beautiful!!! Everything on the description is 100% accurate. We used every inch of the property and one space was better than the other one!! I totally recomend this house for families and friends. The pool area was amazing!! We had so much fun. We all agreed that we have to come back very soon.

Wedding weekend
The home is amazing ! Well kept. Beautiful grounds. Perfect for our needs The one big problem was that we did not have hot water. Was told at ck in that it had low presure and not much hot water. But boy it was just cold. Not great with all the girls in the home. This problem should have be taken care of before renting it. Y husband asked to use guest house so we could shower and was told to pay for cleaning g it. Think In good faith that should have been opened to us to use since the plunbing was not working Besides all that we loved our stay. Thank you

Make lasting memories at Whispering Oaks
Three generations of our family got together for 8 nights at Whispering Oaks at the end of July 2021. Our group included 8 adults, 3 teenagers and 5 additional kids, ages 18 months – 6 years of age. Joshua, the owner met us when we checked in and showed us around, making sure we knew how to access the Wi-Fi and answered any questions we had. The main house is a large beautiful house nestled among a grove of live oak trees. The house was very clean and the huge grounds were well-kept. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate our large group. The teens enjoyed using the adjoining bedrooms above the garage as "their space" where they could sleep in and stay up late. The large kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, cookware and silverware though we chose to use mostly paper plates and plastic silverware to cut down on the amount of clean-up needed nightly, running the dishwasher just once a day. We cooked our meals most nights using the gas grill. Though the dining room was large and could seat our whole group, we ended up eating informally at the large square table in the breakfast room or on the huge back deck with two tables and plenty of chairs. The grocery store was just 10 minutes away and due to the size of our group we made a trip once a day. The extra fridge in the laundry room was very handy, as was the washer and dryer. There were plenty of towels for the house and pool though we did bring some of our own pool towels as well. Upstairs, between the four bedrooms, was a large desk where one of my daughters set up her computer so she could work remotely for a few hours each day. Everyone loved the pool and the little ones spent many hours swimming each day! We could even keep tabs on the Olympics on the two large TVs in the poolside cabana. One night we used the firepit and made s’mores. That was a real treat for the kids! Our family had a wonderful week making lots of lasting memories at Whispering Oaks. We highly recommend it!

Wonderful Family Reunion Retreat
My family gets together once a year for a 4 day/3 night reunion. Trying to accommodate the sleeping and bathroom arrangements for 19 people is always a challenge, but Whispering Oaks is as close to perfect as we have yet to find. The house’s cosmetics bring a nice elegance to this secluded country oasis. The pool was our favorite place to be. We loved that there were 2 full size refrigerators and a wine fridge. They also provide everything a family needs with kitchenware, bath towels, pool towels, extra pillows and blankets. Another great part was that is was 10 min from HEB and we made several trips. The whole estate also had wonderful spots for us to take family pictures. We did see some nasty bugs, but one needs to expect that in the country. We did experience a plumbing issue, but the property mangers took time away from their own family time to come fix the issue ASAP. Not only would my family love to stay here every year, we simply could not stop fantasizing about calling this property our own—that’s how perfect it was.

Great Property/ Great Stay/ Great Accommodations
Very well appointed home in a country setting, with all of the conveniences one could ask for. The house sits on 10 accessible acres and you are free to roam around the beautiful tree lined grounds. The pool/ cabana area was very nice and inviting in the day as well as night and the huge first pit was a nice added feature. The house is very close to town where there is a good HEB, with a liquor store and pizza place next door, although we thought the pizza from Pieous was the best, worth the extra 5 minute drive. Although many places around Dripping Springs were closed (ie/: restaurants, wineries, bars) were also able to do day trips to Wimberly, Gruene (not too much open there either), Luckenbach, and Fredericksburg. Overall a very nice, pleasant stay. Good get-away.
