About this property

Spacious, well-appointed home with magnificent hill county vista

This spacious 2 bedroom house, the flagship property of The Casitas at Caballo Creek Ranch, offers luxurious Texas Hill Country accommodations that are easily accessible yet feel a world away from urban life. Reserve the Casa for your party of up to 6, with the option to accommodate as many as 10 more with one or both of the 2 Casita offerings just across the road. The Casa offers expansive Texas Hill Country views which may encompass not only Caballo Creek livestock but deer, turkey, rabbits, roadrunners and even fox.

The Casa’s open living space is bounded by a full wall of windows separating the house from a magnificent covered deck with space for dining and lounging. Enjoy coffee on the deck in the cool morning air or take in spectacular sunsets with your favorite glass of wine. Step inside to the open living area with a roomy sectional sofa perfect for conversation or for viewing the 60 inch Smart TV. The space includes a dining table for 6 and bar seating for 4 at the kitchen.

You'll find everything you need for coffee in the Casa when you arrive. The house includes a fully equipped kitchen stocked with dishware, utensils, cookware, and even a variety of spices. A Traeger pellet grill for your use is on the front porch. With a grocery store only 20 minutes away, you have everything you need to prepare complete meals for your group.

You may choose to settle in and just relax at the Casa for your visit. However, if you do choose to venture out, you will find yourself conveniently located near many activities and attractions. The Casitas at Caballo Creek are situated in the middle of wineries from Fredericksburg to Driftwood, offering the perfect home base for serious wine tasting. Similarly the area is home to many distilleries and breweries.

The area is well known for its abundance of parks and swimming holes including Pedernales Falls State Park (a 5 minute drive), Hamilton Pool, Riemers Ranch Park, Blanco State Park and more.

Each conveniently located only about 20 minutes away, the towns of Dripping Springs and Johnson City boast a variety of offerings. You will find restaurant options from casual Mexican food to fine dining. Shopping includes boutiques and antiques. Dripping Springs has been called “The Wedding Capital of Texas”, and the Casita is conveniently located near a host of wedding venues. Johnson City is home to the Science Mill for children, The Exotic Resort Zoo and of course, the Lyndon Johnson Boyhood Home. If you’ld like to explore even further, you’ll be only about 45 minutes from Fredericksburg and an hour from downtown Austin.

Stars, Wildlife, and Quiet - Perfect for a Relaxing Get Away!
Communication with Nancy, the owner, was excellent. She replied almost immediately to every inquiry and question. The cabin was immaculate when we arrived. I was surprised to not see any bugs inside during our entire 4 night/5 day stay. The furniture, including the beds was so comfortable--both inside and on the 2 porches. The Texas-themed artwork was beautifully hung and displayed. A person with an artist's eye decorated and arranged the furniture. Everything we possibly needed was in the kitchen, including Tim Horton coffee pods! We saw plenty of stars at night, deer who bounded across the dirt road as we arrived just after dusk and also came up to the house grazing, hawks and other birds. Heavenly quiet. So thankful for this cabin. Since it is situated halfway between Dripping Springs town center and Johnson City and Blanco town centers, the cabin is ideally located for restaurants and shopping. The H.E.B.in Dripping Springs had so many great prepared meal choices, that we only ate out for one lunch with a friend who lives in Blanco. I was pleased to discover an electric socket (regular 110 v) in the garage, so that I could re-charge my EV. Unless you have a Tesla, the nearest charging station is Round Rock at the Premium Stores Mall. For those who are readers--there is excellent overhead lighting and table lamps. Thank you, Nancy, for allowing us to stay! We hope to be back next year!

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Woodward

Host profile image
After a career in the software industry and raising 2 children, I left Austin to move full time to Caballo Creek Ranch, about a mile up the road from my new guest houses. In looking around for what to do next, I chose to combine my interests in travel, the Texas Hill Country, and home decor into a vacation rental business. I began in 2017 by redecorating an existing house with some of my favorite artwork and furniture from my previous home in Austin. I found myself taking great pleasure in seeing guests enjoy my property and decided to build the Green and Blue Casitas in 2018 as vacation rentals.

Why they chose this property

Having lived in Austin since 1978, I have long considered the Austin area to be home. In the 1990’s I was able to achieve my lifetime dream of owning horses and went looking for ranch property accessible to Austin. Now that I live here full time, I find this location perfect. It is just far enough from Austin to maintain its rural feel but close enough to take advantage of all Austin has to offer.

What makes this property unique

This lodging is a reflection of my personal taste and more importantly, of all the conveniences I look for when traveling. I have tried to attend to the details that I look for in a hotel — counter and storage space in the bathrooms, a complete coffee offering, spa-quality bathroom amenities, clean and comfortable bedding and of course, wifi access. But what distinguishes the Casita from a hotel is that all this comfort is nestled in a secluded and rural setting. For me, it’s the best of both worlds.
