The property is absolutely beautiful! Our stay for my daughter's 40th birthday was perfect. Although it was rainy and cold, the Entertainment Barn was great for game night and just hanging out. The house comes with many amenities, and the host is really easy to work with. I highly recommend this home!

Thomas, you reached out to VRBO customer service instead of reaching out to us directly. We called you as soon VRBO informed us that you were trying to reach us.
As for the 2 empty beer cans that we missed picking up from the yard, we offered to send someone out to pick them up, which you declined. I'm glad you thoroughly enjoyed your stay despite the 2 beer cans that you found but disappointed that you chose to leave us a lower ranking solely because of the 2 empty cans.
Our son was married in Dripping Springs, and we had our entire family (7 couples) stay at the home over the weekend. The place was relaxing, comfortable, and enjoyed by all. The game room was a huge hit in the evening for everyone to hang out and play games. Highly recommend this location for a great family getaway.

Thank you so much! So glad you had a wonderful stay!
This place was amazing. We got lots of use out of the pool as well as the barn during the heat of the day. The maintenance and host were highly responsive once we arrived. Only downside is not much around but the heb delivery comes in handy with last minute items. Would come back time and time again.

Thank you for your kind review, Daniel, and we are so glad your retreat went well! We would love to host you again, so please keep us in mind for your next vacation or work retreat!
Everything was great - from the home to the attentive team who helped us along the way! The kitchen and barn were great gathering areas. The barn is truly special. The outdoor space was amazing too with views of the hill country and stars at night. It's hard to leave this wonderful place but we did arrange some rides to explore Austin, which was a nice balance to our trip.

Thanks so much, Nancy! So glad you had a wonderful stay with us and we truly hope you'll come back and stay at any of our GuestSpaces properties again in Austin or Dripping Springs!
This place is truly incredible and the service we received was excellent. Every detail is perfect - down to the soaps and shampoos in each room. It is stocked with high-end cooking utensils and baking ware, it smells amazing, etc. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this property and this owner to anyone on Vrbo. We'll be staying here again for sure.
