Great location in a charming neighborhood in Dripping Springs. A 1-min walk to an awesome bakery / coffee / lunch spot, Thyme and Dough. We were in town for a wedding and found out later the Heritage Festival was going on that weekend. A very close walk to the festival, so that was a bonus. Very clean and well-equipped - the host was very responsive...

The Perfect Home Away From Home

The Murray House worked perfectly for our family and exceeded all expectations. The location and neighborhood can’t be beat. Everything was spotless, beautifully decorated and the layout of the house is great. Steve was so helpful and impressively responsive. This is honestly one of the best places we’ve ever stayed, including luxury hotels. We highly recommend and plan to visit again in the future.

Great property in the heart of Dripping Springs

I stayed at this property for a girl's trip weekend and it was the perfect location to stay in Dripping Springs. It was within walking distance to a local bakery and the main street area and a quick drive to downtown Austin. The property was very clean and spacious with all the amenities we needed. Communication with the host was very easy and there was a binder with clear directions on everything in the house. Would definitely stay here again.
