About this property
Private 5-Acre Dripping Springs Retreat | Pool, Hot Tub + Casita | 18 Guests
Set on five peaceful acres in Dripping Springs, House of The Rising Sun offers a standout Hill Country stay for groups who want space, privacy, and easy access to the area’s best wineries, breweries, distilleries, wedding venues, and outdoor adventures. With a main house, a separate casita, and a third building dedicated to work and play, this property is especially well suited for large family gatherings, wedding groups, reunions, and friend getaways. Inside, the home has a lively personality with vibrant interiors and inviting gathering spaces that feel warm, relaxed, and memorable. The main house is designed for connection, with comfortable living areas, a well-equipped gourmet kitchen, and room for your group to spread out without ever feeling crowded. The separate casita adds another layer of flexibility with its own king bedroom, private bath, second full kitchen, and additional living space. A third detached building includes an office, gym, and game room with air hockey and foosball, making it easy to balance fun, downtime, and productivity during longer stays. The bedroom setup works beautifully for larger groups. There are five bedrooms total, including four king bedrooms in the main home and a fifth king bedroom in the casita. One upstairs bedroom also includes a twin-over-twin bunk, while the upstairs living room and casita add extra sofa-bed sleeping for flexible group arrangements. Outside, the property opens up into a true Hill Country retreat. The private pool and hot tub create a resort-style focal point for sunny afternoons and laid-back evenings, while the fire pit, covered outdoor dining area, grill setup, and lounge seating make the outdoor living experience just as appealing as the interiors. The acreage adds privacy and breathing room, giving guests a sense of escape while still staying close to the best of Dripping Springs. The location is a major advantage for group travel.

The whole complex was beautiful and spacious. We had 14 people and we had plenty of space to accommodate all of us. The house was well stocked and the artwork and decor of the house really added to the appeal of the place. The host was very accommodating and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. We loved this place so much that we plan to come back in the summer.

Our group of 14 had a wonderful time at this location in Dripping Springs. The host was available on our check-in and check-out days to answer questions. That alone was such a relief to know how quick and responsive they were. The home itself is very nice and equipped with all amenities you would need for a weekend stay. I would definitely book this home again for a future visit.

Fabulous house! Such a pretty pool with amazing views. We were a group of all adults (15, ages 22-62) celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. Plenty of room for all of us. Kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms had everything we needed. Communication with the host was easy and fast. An unexpected surprise was all of the cool art around the house. Definitely recommend this fun compound!

Amazing Home
We were looking for a beautiful home where we could relax and spend time together ans a family and this one was perfect! We cooked out, played games, read, watched movies, and had plenty of pool time. The only time we ventured out was to the grocery store. It was exactly what we wanted plus an amazing and tranquil view. Casita was equally as beautiful. What an amazing eye to detail this home has. I would highly recommend this home.

The house is absolutely beautiful and the pool was a dream to be in during the Texas heat. The outside tv was awesome and we played switch games on it several times! The kitchen was the perfect place for our group to grab food, cook together, and play mixologist. The Pool Haus (as we called it) was so cozy and perfect for our group. On the downside, there we're two broken items when we arrived- the trash drawer and the glass doors to the outside game/office room. These were not issues that affected our enjoyment, but were notable!
