Was a great location for our wedding trip & served as the family pre-wedding venue as well.Plenty of room, great location, quite secluded but ez access to Dripping Springs.
The house was spotless and very well equipped. The back patio is the most lovely place to have coffee in the morning. The property is beautiful. It was a little cool for us to use the pool but it was very peaceful and nice.
The house was beautiful, the host was always available and responded really quickly. The pool with hot tub was our favorite! Hot tub was perfect because it was a really rainy weekend and we only got like 2 hours of sun :( but we still made the best of it. Would stay again!
We had a wonderful time at this property as a family. There was great communication with the management and they were quick to respond and were very helpful. Very clean, organized and easy to find things. Would absolutely stay here again!
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.
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.
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.
