Thank you Mick! We enjoyed hosting you and your group!
What a great property! The house was perfect for our family as we came together for my son’s wedding in Dripping Springs. It was clean with so many amenities and comforts. The whole family was impressed! Our host, Kristen, provided great communications and she made sure that all our needs were met. We would love to stay again and highly recommend this property!
This was the 3rd time we’ve rented this house, and it never disappoints! It’s in a great location, has plenty of room for everyone with tons of amenities and kitchen supplies. And the owner is quick to respond to any questions or requests! Thanks for being a wonderful host Kristen!!

We had family come in from different states to stay together for my daughter’s first birthday and everyone is already talking about coming back next year. This is the perfect house & host! They thought of everything to make it comfortable. Zero complaints and we hope to be back next year!!!
This property and host definitely lived up to the listing expectations! The home was large and spacious enough for us to all hang out together in the main areas, but still have private spaces for getting ready, sleeping, etc. There were plenty of supplies, but HEB is also just minutes away for anything we forgot or needed.
It's very private so we enjoyed a couple nights out by the fire pit, but it's also only a short ride to several wineries, distilleries and activities so you basically get the best of both worlds. It was a little too chilly for the pool and we didn't choose to warm up the hot tub, but both of those did look clean and inviting.
Kristen made sure to check in regularly for anything we might have needed or had questions about the first day/night and responded quickly to any texts after that. There was even a welcome basket for the group with goodies, as well as a gift for each myself (the planner) and the bride with our names on them. Very thoughtful.
She also had the upstairs beds all separated for us so that those who were sharing rooms still had separate beds to sleep in.
Would highly recommend this house and host for any future stay.
