My brother and I had a fantastic stay at Portofino Cottage in Dripping Springs. The property was immaculate and cozy, with beautiful decor and top-notch amenities. Rachel, our host, was incredibly responsive and attentive. We loved the peaceful wraparound porch, the twinkle-lit deck, and the cozy fire pit under the stars. The cottage offered just the right mix of tranquility and convenience, being close to local attractions and Austin.
The highlight of our stay was enjoying the many cute goats on the property and meeting their friendly dog, Bigfoot. The charming animals added to the serene atmosphere and made our stay even more special. Overall, it was a perfect, relaxing getaway. Highly recommend!
