The property was beautiful and Jeanette (PM) was awesome! She immediately helped resolve a small issue that came up and was extremely helpful providing medical equipment for my elderly (88) mother. Our party was grateful for the personal note she left for us upon arrival and the service!

Wedding Weekend
We were in town for my son's wedding, and this was the perfect house to host our friends and family. The house and grounds are absolutely beautiful. There was enough room for everyone, and it never felt crowded at all. The outside space had abundant seating and that was where we would gather in the evenings. The kitchen had everything we needed, and with two refrigerators, we had plenty of room for food and drinks. The check-in and check-out procedures were so easy. If you are looking to host a large gathering of people, I would highly recommend this VRBO. It is truly one of the nicest houses in which I have stayed. It was very clean and comfortable.

Wonderful Property!
Our group of 23 (longtime family & friends) had a wonderful stay in Dripping Springs. There was plenty of room for everyone, and the home was beautiful, with well-stocked kitchen. The only suggestions we would have would be to supply more TP and trash bags for a group our size … we ran out of both. But Porsha was super responsive and friendly, and we did have a wonderful time. Thank you!

Perfect house for our family reunion
My family and my sister’s family have been getting together for 30 years. We started at the Hyatt Hill country, then the JW Marriott Hill Country and just this year decided to rent a house. We spent so much more time together having a nice pool for just us, large firepit, beautiful back patio and a large kitchen table. After a vote we have decided to continue renting this house. This house is beautiful and the owners and manager are so friendly and helpful. They were attentive to any issues that came up, which were very minor. The house is truly a gem and allowed everyone to gather together and then to retreat to private spaces.

Great place for Family Gathering
We have been having a family vacation every year for 20+ years. As our family has grown our house needs have grown. We are all coming from different part of Texas and this was a great central location for most. This property was a great size for our family of 19, of which two are a 2 year and 7 month old. This kitchen was well stocked, and we actually never ran out of silverware. It had more small appliances, including a crock pot, blender, convection oven, dual ovens. With the guest house there were 3 full size refrigerators, so there was plenty of room for all our food, and were able to make the one in the laundry room our drink refrigerator. The pool was perfect. Only one of the 2 tvs at the pool was working, but we were able to easily watch our sports teams while enjoying the pool.

Family reunion success
Great place for this event. It is secluded and at the same time, close to anything you might need. One star off of cleanliness because a few of the crowd were not happy with the lizard poo scattered about on the flatwork outside. (I tried “It’s the hill country. get over it”. but that didn’t work.). Otherwise, the place was immaculate.

Perfect Stay for the Perfect Wedding Weekend
My husband and I stayed here with our wedding party members during our wedding weekend in Driftwood. This property was perfect not only to accommodate our group of 20, but also to hold our welcome reception event for our guests the night before our wedding. When we arrived, Josh was super friendly and gave us a really thorough orientation of the property and all the features around. The house and casita were clean and spacious with a lot of rooms to easily hold a lot of us and hang out, so we were never really on top of each other despite our big group size. It was also nice how secluded the property was and expansive the backyard was. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to use the pool or hot tub, but the whole backyard setup was very cool and beautifully setup. The event space that was right next to the casita was a nice size and had the perfect bar area setup for us to have a great time on Wednesday night with the additional people we invited over for the welcome event. It was also nice that the garage doors could open to bring some cool air since there was a lot of people in one large room. Overall, we were very happy with this rental for the 3 nights we stayed there. Definitely a great spot for large groups to hangout and enjoy the charm of the hill country landscape.

About the host

Hosted by Jeanette

Host profile image
Ourselves (Della and John) own a house in Spain and are usually there enjoying our retirement. Before we moved here we lived in Dripping Springs, TX where we worked as owners of a property management company consisting of mostly long term rentals. In 2017 we shifted our focus to Short Term Rentals(STRs) and sold the majority of our investment houses and turned the remaining home(s) into STRs.

Why they chose this property

When we first saw this property we knew we fell in love with it. We love the country feel yet it is so close to everything.

What makes this property unique

Great for a family reunion, company retreat, wedding or quiet weekend with that special someone. Far enough away but close to everything!

Austin
We are 25 minutes to Downtown Austin and 45 minutes the Circuit of the Americas.
35 to the main Airport (ABIA) AUS.

Dripping Springs has numerous wineries, wine bars, beer joints, breweries, restaurants and distilleries.

Driftwood is home to the original world famous Salt Lick BBQ and its only 5 minutes away and if you're looking for something unexpected the Trattoria Lisina has the most amazing Italian food you could ever hope for.

Wimberly is only 10 minutes away - great antique shops, eateries, wedding venues, wineries, and swimming hole.

Fredericksburg is only 40 minutes away - world renown shops, German food, petting zoos, wineries, breweries and tons of old town fun.

We are close to numerous wedding venues which makes us a great choice to have your big wedding and have your family stay in one location (in our home) instead of a bunch of hotel rooms spread across the city.
