10/10! The perfect place we and our two dogs needed to stay.The handicapped access was great for me as I'm not in a wheelchair but stairs need careful navigation and our special needs handicapped dog who's lost the use of her hind legs. It was so peaceful! If we return to this area we'd be happy to stay at D6 Emma again!

A restful, restorative time

We wanted to get away for a few days to rest and plan for the year. This place was perfect. Lots of places to hike or sit outside and enjoy the solitude. And the host was very responsive to any inquiries we had.

Great location, clean, and spacious!

The host was very kind and communicative throughout the stay! The rental unit was kept in great condition with all the common kitchen appliances included. The property was near plenty of local state and county parks. I loved my stay and would recommend it to anyone else who is looking for a nature-oriented trip!

Cute but smells like mildew

We stayed here while we had our wedding in dripping springs and because we had two dogs. The place is cute and relaxing. It came with a full fridge, dishes, washer and dryer, iron, board, coffee pot, TV, it’s dog friendly etc. The bed was not comfortable and there was thing strong smell… we figure out it was coming from the shower curtain and the shower. The rod was too high so water comes out causing mildew to develop at the edge of the shower. The towels also smells like mildew. You do part of the cleaning too which is weird. It’s not a hotel but why do we have to take out the trash, remove the bedding and wash the towels??? Two bridesmaids and their families got two other cabins. One couldn’t even stay a few hours because the AC didn’t work and it was over 89 degrees. They contacted the manager but it took forever for someone to get out there. No one came by to fix it until the next day so they have to leave back home and cancel their reservation. My sister left too as their beds were very uncomfortable and the roll out bed sucked. The cabins are cute but they really only fit 2 people not 4 and definitely not 6. They need to find a better way to wash their linens and towels. The non fragrant detergent does NOT clean out the gross mildew smells from anything. We asked for a new shower curtain and the “clean” one still smells so gross. It stunk up the entire cabin.

cozy property

I surprised my daughter for a couple of nights away for her birthday, and to scope out the ability to host a girls' trip for family. This property was aways from a few of the businesses on my "to do" list, but she reminded me that it was a "retreat." In that respect it worked quite well! Our little cabin, Emma, was very comfortable for the two of us, and there was a trundle and a sleeper sofa. That might make it a little tight if all of the beds were filled! But the bed was comfy, there's a full kitchen and a full size washer/dryer in the bathroom (we liked that the sink was not in the bathroom itself). The cabins would definitely handle our group of ten, plus there is an outside gathering place, a pool, and the attached property got us a great yoga class on Monday morning as well as a providing a small market and store. Finally, the price was doable for a group. Win win!

Quick stop before Austin

I have never written a review but with this rental I feel like people need to know what they are getting into. The cabin was cute but a max of 4 could stay there and that is with one person on the couch. We had 3 adult women and it was tight. It states that restaurants are in walking distance and that is completely false. NOTHING is in walking distance. It is in the middle of nowhere. If you are looking for solitide then maybe this is the place for you. On the map it looks like it is close to town but it is not. It states in the description that various places are walking distiance. Not true. You cannot walk anywhere as the roads are not walkable. Wineries, breweries, restaurants are very spread out and you have to have a car. We arrived about 8:00pm and could not get an Uber to take us into town to eat and most restaurants were closing. We had a difficult time getting an uber out of there and back to Austin. If you have a car and are looking for seculsion this might be the place for you.

Tiny House

What a great little house! We really had everything that we needed and the hostess was very quick to respond to my questions. So much better than staying in a hotel. Just wish that the weather had let us enjoy the outdoors. And a big thanks for accepting dogs - Ruthie enjoyed her stay too😊

Dripping Springs Wedding

I was in Dripping Springs for a wedding. I was staying here alone and in and out quite a bit during my visit. This place was perfect for that. I was able to easily come and go. I liked that the grounds were secured by a gate as well for late night and early morning comings and goings. I had everything I needed during my visit.

Lovely but very small

The listing said it sleeps up to 5 and we did fit but it was VERY tight and we have three younger children ages 7-12. I can’t imagine trying to fit in there with bigger suitcases or teenage kids. Our kids had fun on the property, we hiked the trails, swam in the pool and it was really beautiful. Over all, very clean. Location was convenient. Host was communicative. Just think it should be advertised as sleeping 2 maybe 3 at the most.

Loved our stay!

Loved our stay! Such a cute tiny home. Better than pictured. We were in the area for a wedding at Camp Lucy. We really appreciated the texts from Emily. She provided answers to our questions, restaurant recommendations and more. The weather wasn’t warm enough to enjoy the beautiful and clean pool, but I was able to get in two yoga practices, one in the tiny house yoga studio and one on the deck! We would stay here again if we’re down this way.

Wedding wonderful

We stayed at D6 Retreat for a week before our niece’s wedding. The unit we reserved had washing machine issues and the property manager took excellent care of us by switching us to another unit with a working washing machine. This unit also happens to be an upgrade. It was beautiful. The grounds were peaceful and magical to hike. Loved the place

Nice property with a scenic view

Everything is as pictured. It's a nice getaway. It's close to the Dripping Springs area restaurants and Hamilton Pool. The only negative was the bed/mattress. It didn't match the luxury description. A different bed would make this a 5 star review for us.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer

Host profile image
D6 Retreat was created by a local Austin family as a place to escape from the hustle of everyday city living. They discovered the magical qualities & peacefulness of the land when hiking it with their four children & knew this was a special place they wanted to share with the world.

Why they chose this property

D6 Retreat is magical. The moment you step foot onto the 10 acres and look around at the rolling hills & hear the stream rustling through the valley, you're hooked! We promise you won't want to leave & we hope you can stay for as long as possible & that we're able to make this an adventure you'll want to have every year! We all get caught up in the busyness of everyday life & D6 is the place to reset & relax. We think you'll agree!

What makes this property unique

The Emma Villa at D6 Retreat sleeps 5, includes unlimited use of our pool, hiking & outdoor game collection. Close to Dripping Springs wine tours, Bee Cave Shopping, Lakes & great restaurants.
