Pool, Hot Tub, Large Fire Pit, Hill Country Views, 11 acres of Hiking Trails
Panoramic Hill Country views can be seen for miles from this well-cared-for 11+ acre eclectic getaway just north of Dripping Springs. Star-gaze from the cozy fire pit (or hilltop observatory with lounge chairs and a hammock) or relax in the four rocking chairs on the covered back deck. For those outdoor enthusiasts, get energized with a hike down meandering trails to the seasonal creek. If hot, take a dip in the pool. If cold, fire up the hot tub. If the weather is rough, play the Wii! There are many wineries, distilleries, and breweries close by.
The TV's are equipped with a Roku that provides Netflix, Disney Plus, YouTube, ESPN, and many other channels. The very large bounce house can be rented for $150 during your stay and I will help to set it up. I will not send a payment request until ~2 days before your arrival to ensure the weather is suitable.
The kitchen features custom cabinetry, stainless appliances, and plenty of room for the chef. It is fully stocked with pots and pans, a coffee maker, and an espresso machine with all the K-cups and creamer pods you will need, paper towels, dishes, glasses, etc. You just need to bring your food and drink and you are all set! We probably have it if you think you need it, so feel free to reach out and ask before you pack it or buy it.
There is a king-sized bed and a full-length couch on the first floor. There is a queen-sized bed in one room on the 3rd floor and a two-twin mattress trundle bed in another room. The main bedroom is on the 4th floor and has a king-sized bed.
There is a propane grill on the back deck that overlooks the pool and the vista. Please clean the grill tray after use to prevent flare-ups.
If you need to check in early or check out late let me know and I will check with the maids to see if that is possible. The charge to do so is $20 per hour.

We had a great visit! Lots of amenities. Loved the pool and hot tub,campfire and the hiking trails. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Had a great time and would definitely stay here again!
Lots of open space to gather with our friends. Very comfortable. Well stocked with dishes, cooking items and anything else needed to entertain and be comfortable. Would recommend if you're looking for a quiet place to relax!
We throughly enjoyed our stay. The view, short trail, pool and the fact that the property had everything we could possibly need or think of needing already in the house was wonderful. We throughly enjoyed our stay, one of the more relaxing and enjoyable short trips we have had in a while!
Came for our friend’s 40th birthday staycation. Our stay was so nice! Plenty of outdoor space to sit and enjoy nature. The pool was great, and the stars were amazing. Such a cool property and we had lots of fun.
Check in was great and the kitchen had what we needed to prepare our meals as well as the rest of the house.This was our second time to stay at your wonderful house . We loved it the first time and loved it the second time. Thank you James and Jamie for opening up your house to us.
If you forget something it will be ok. They have it from coffee, espresso machine , pools towels, pool toys. The house Is fully stocked. It’s quite place and great views.
So enjoyed our stay at the Flying J Ranch! Loved the hot tub, the back deck, the hiking trails, the stars, the early morning sunrise and the amazing views!
This property was amazing! Our 3 teens had plenty of space to spread out and loved all the trails on the property. The view was the best part. We also really enjoyed visiting the local breweries and all the small boutiques downtown.
The house and property were amazing! Our family thoroughly enjoyed the stay and I wouldn’t hesitate booking another escape to this house!
Communication with the owner was the best I’ve ever experienced!
We rented Jim's house for a getaway with friends and family. He was incredibly responsive and helpful. The house is well equipped (kitchen, grill, linens). And it's in a gorgeous location. Close to Austin but nestled in the splendor and quiet of the Hill Country. An absolutely gorgeous place to relax. We will definitely be back!
A great place for a weekend get away. This space was truly gorgeous both inside the home and looking out over a beautiful valley in the shade by the pool. Can't rate the stay highly enough.
Perfect getaway for our entire family (grown and grandkids)! Has all the extra creature comforts of being at home and everything you could think you may want/need- they've got it. Comfy beds, cooking supplies, children's toys/chairs/beds/cups/plates/games, water toys (kids and adults) and beautiful views that go on forever. I highly recommend this house as an escape from a the busy city life and will be looking forward to another visit very soon hopefully.
Really cool property with great views and a fun pool!
I stayed here with friends from out of town for a long weekend, we really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, checkin was easy, this is a great property for a larger group. We really enjoyed hanging out in the pool!
The only small negative is there wasn’t a lot of paper towels and trash bags, but it wasn’t a big deal.

Hi Sean, thank you for the nice feedback, I am glad you enjoyed your stay! If you happen to ever come back (or for anyone reading this) always feel free to reach out with questions about where things are. There are several rolls of paper towels on the top shelf of the slide-out pantries and many garbage bags under the kitchen sink.
Four of us went for R & R…. Wow did this place deliver. The house itself was the most well-stocked home I’ve ever rented. The grounds are beautiful as we walked the trail throughout. The pool and view are amazing. And it was serene and quiet. I highly recommend this home!
This is an amazing property with gorgeous views. James was very prompt at responding when we had a question. Don't worry about forgetting anything--it is probably stocked in the house. So many amenities!! We went to Dripping Springs to view the Perseids meteor shower, Nothing like laying by the pool, watching the stars. :) We highly recommend this property.
We booked this house for a 5 day stay. We were 5 adults staying here to surprise my husband for his 50th birthday. There was plenty of room for all of us to sleep comfortably. This house has so many spaces to hang out, either with your group or alone if you need some space. I think my favorite spot (besides in the pool) was the lounge sectional on the back deck. This house is also stocked with things you might have forgotten to pack such as sunscreen, bar soap, or shampoo/conditioner. The homeowners are friendly and communicate well. Highly recommend this property!
We stayed for a week in this lovely home. It was two families, so four adults and two kids 7 and 8 years old. We had an amazing time, despite some unfortunately cold weather that was outside of anyone’s control (Feb is always a gamble). The kids loved the bouncy house, and we all appreciated the hot tub. At night the area is so quiet and dark which makes for perfect stargazing. The house feels like it’s in the middle of nowhere but you’re only a 30 min drive from Austin when traffic is good. James is a great host - very easy to communicate with and friendly and responsiveWe’d definitely stay again if we’re able. Don’t think, just book it :-)
