We were absolutely in love with the cottage and the location when we arrived. We were exactly where we wanted to be for our weekend getaway. The furniture, the lighting, the shower were all exactly as we hoped. Everything was clean, comfortablr, and convenient! We even took some time during our first evening to sit in the rocking chairs on the porch and talk in the cool night breeze. Unfortunately, I had a medical emergency that required hospitalization for the remaining 2 nights/3 days we had booked. So we only had a full 24 hours on-site. But we are absolutely in love with it and hope to be able to come back for another attempted weekend away in this super gorgeous cottage!

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was very clean, quiet, and cozy. Bed was comfortable but a little on the soft side. Selection of snacks and drinks provided by the host was a nice touch and greatly appreciated.

Close to everything

This great little property is walking distance to downtown shops and adjacent to the original Dripping Springs. Nice and quite end of street but so close to everything else the area has to offer. Loved the cottage feel

Weekend in Dripping Springs

This seems to be one of the bigger cabins available on the property...which is lovely btw...huge oak tree to sit under and a path to the spring's stream and a natural grotto. The full size bed was comfortable, recommend bringing pillows. The breads for breakfast were pumpkin and blueberry...and yummy. There's a nice table for four or more...we had friends over to play cards...a great time was had by all

Great little cottage in the heart of dripping springs

The property was very nice and comfortable. The outside was inviting to sit and relax but yet you were located in the heart of town.
