The house was everything we expected and more! The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated. The bathrooms are clean, great towels and all the amenities. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need! And it was so nice to have an extra fridge in the laundry room.Everyone agreed it was one of the best vacation rentals we've had!
The house and host were great! The only negative is that (per the host) the outdoor speaker system wasn’t operational.

Thank you for the review. We dont advertise that the outdoor speaker system is available and a option to the guests. I know it can be confusing if a guests sees outdoor speakers and they assume it is part of the "package". We have since removed the speakers as not to confuse anyone.
Perfect for large groups because there are so many bedrooms and baths. There were also a ton of amenities, including shampoo and soap in the bathrooms; coffee and creamer in the kitchen; and trash bags, laundry soap and lots of other items throughout the house. Everything was clearly labeled and the instructions very clear. The pool was warm and clean. I only wish there was recycling available. The only negative was the gunfire we could hear at odd times. It was a little unsettling for us city dwellers, but it is Texas.

Thank you for the great review. We do try to make our guests experience as accommodating as possible. I often tell guests to just bring their toothbrush and we got the rest. There is a sporting club several miles away that has a shooting range and archery. They sometimes open their facility for charitable events and if the wind is blowing in the right directions, you might hear the gunfire. However, Whispering Oaks is far from the facility and it poses no threat to the public or our guests.
The house is very spacious and super clean. The outdoor entertainment areas were amazing. We had ten couples on a group trip in the Austin area and this house made the trip even more special.
This property is beautiful and perfect for a family reunion. The kitchen is well stocked and there is a large square table on the kitchen that is perfect to gather for meals or games. One bench was missing so we moved a few chairs in. There are plenty of bedrooms giving people some needed privacy at night. The pool is large and the hot tub is perfect for small children to play in. I do wish there were a few more lounges/chairs and a few more umbrellas at the far end of the pool. You can swing the two they had over the pool and a few more would be really nice! This is our 2nd stay and I’m pretty sure we plan to come back next summer!
Perfect spot for a get together for 12 friends. Pictures don't do it justice - space was clean and pool was great! Location was close enough to Dripping Springs for easy grocery runs, but then private enough to feel like you were on your own!
This property was perfect for 20 of our family members to spend a weekend together. We cooked, played in the pool & hot tub, watched football, played games and toured breweries/distilleries.
The property was beautiful and Jeanette (PM) was awesome! She immediately helped resolve a small issue that came up and was extremely helpful providing medical equipment for my elderly (88) mother. Our party was grateful for the personal note she left for us upon arrival and the service!

WOW! That is a wonderful review! I am so pleased you enjoyed the home. I have to agree, the pictures even the video dont do this gorgeous property justice. Please come back anytime! You were awesome guest to host!
Our family certainly enjoyed our time at whispering Oaks estate. The space was beautiful and spacious and everything was clean and welcoming. I definitely recommend this space for any family gatherings or just a time to spend in serenity.
We had an amazing time at Whispering Oaks. The house was wonderful and had everything we needed to spend some quality time with family members who came from far and near to celebrate our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding.
Wonderful experience and stay at this beautiful property. Family reunion with children of all ages. Had a great four day Stay at this beautiful property. Driving distance to quite a few breweries as well, owner/property manager is very responsive and helpful! Thank you guys for helping us create some amazing memories!
This property is amazing. Plenty of room. Lots of fun. All the amenities were awesome from the furniture to the bathrooms. The pool and patio area were great. Our family and friends were in town for a wedding in nearby driftwood. The house was so great people didn’t want to leave.The check in and out were easy. The property manager, Jeanette, was easy to work with. I can’t say enough good things about our experience. We will return!!

WOW! Thank you for the wonderful 5 star review. Im so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. You were a delight to host. I hope I do get the opportunity to host you again in the near future. Thank you for being such an awesome guest to host! Jeanette
The house and pool were very nice and comfortable for everyone. Liked being secluded but not that far from town. Josh and Porsha were great to work with.
Our group of 23 (longtime family & friends) had a wonderful stay in Dripping Springs. There was plenty of room for everyone, and the home was beautiful, with well-stocked kitchen. The only suggestions we would have would be to supply more TP and trash bags for a group our size … we ran out of both. But Porsha was super responsive and friendly, and we did have a wonderful time. Thank you!

About the host
Hosted by Jeanette
Ourselves (Della and John) own a house in Spain and are usually there enjoying our retirement. Before we moved here we lived in Dripping Springs, TX where we worked as owners of a property management company consisting of mostly long term rentals. In 2017 we shifted our focus to Short Term Rentals(STRs) and sold the majority of our investment houses and turned the remaining home(s) into STRs.
Why they chose this property
When we first saw this property we knew we fell in love with it. We love the country feel yet it is so close to everything.
What makes this property unique
Great for a family reunion, company retreat, wedding or quiet weekend with that special someone. Far enough away but close to everything!

Dripping Springs has numerous wineries, wine bars, beer joints, breweries, restaurants and distilleries.
Driftwood is home to the original world famous Salt Lick BBQ and its only 5 minutes away and if you're looking for something unexpected the Trattoria Lisina has the most amazing Italian food you could ever hope for.
