The house is lovely-lots of space, great kitchen, a table for meals and one for games or puzzles, comfortable furniture for watching TV, spacious bedrooms. But the windows and the view are amazing. You can see outside from anywhere in the house. The backyard is fabulous and there are deer all around the area. The pictures do not capture the beauty of the area! And the location is perfect to really enjoy all the fun hill country activities in Dripping Springs and surrounding areas. We will be back! ##### Roz K.
