This house was Amazing! A tad of the beaten path but VERY worth it! The road and driveway were paved. There are definitely wilder parts on the property driving up to the house (hello its a ranch) but everything inside the gated areas were very well maintained! The house was more than fully stocked and everything was good quality from the heavy silverware and beautiful glassware. The pantry had everything from a large crock pot, ninja blender, panini press and more! The game room was also amazing! The pool was great and the hot tub was very hot! It spilled into the pool which also took the edge off the cool pool water. Any time I had a question, Jeanette answered within 10 min EVEN ON EASTER! Whether if you're local looking for a quiet family staycation with plenty to do or coming in from out of town, this house has it all. As a local, I also wanted to state that its about 30 min to downtown, 20 minutes to Wimberley, 10 min or less to bars and restaurants, and 8 minutes to a big grocery store! If you've got family that like to shoot skeet or hunt, down the road is Hog Heaven Sporting Club! It is AMAZING!! I also recommend Salt Lick BBQ which is a destination spot surrounded by their vineyards, ly about 15 min away! Tons of vineyards and breweries within 15-20 min! Enjoy your stay!

Fantastic property and amenities! The house is immaculate and well-appointed. The grounds and surrounding area beautifully maintained, the pool was sparkling clean and the hot tub amazing! The kitchen offered everything one would need, and more while the game room provided hours of entertainment! The dark skies allowed for beautiful star gazing, and the view on the front porch was perfect for watching the sun rise over the horizon. The hosts are highly responsive and friendly and seem to have thought of everything possible to make their guests' stay memorable. The only thing that wasn't a 10/10 was the bed in the primary room. Very creaky and noisy when sitting on it or repositioning during the night, and the mattress not very forgiving. Neither of us got much sleep during our stay because of the noisy creaking sounds when either of us moved. Plus, my back and hips are sore on pressure points from the stiff mattress. We are average size people, not overweight, so this wasn't due to excessive poundage. Everything else concerning the house and property is excellent! All in all we are happy with our stay and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet, luxurious getaway.

Our stay involved 3 families who were celebrating thanksgiving together. Loved everything about the home as it provided opportunities for everyone to have their own space. The outdoor spaces and gathering areas were perfect including a huge fenced backyard for our young boys to run and play. Kitchen was nicely finished with everything we needed.

Dripping Springs Wedding
The property manager, Porsha, was very communicative and accommodating. Overall the property is nice but certainly in a fairly isolated area. Have to be aware of the animal and insect life as there are scorpions on the property. We did not have an issue as the area is treated to exterminate them. The outdoor seating areas are nice, however some chairs and cushions need to be replaced and the patio areas power washed. Water pressure in the showers is also underwhelming. Even with these minor issues, we did enjoy our stay on the property.
