Eclipse Special
We stayed 3 nights for the April 8th solar eclipse and it was TOTALY AWESOME! (see what I did there?)
The Vaquero room at Asante was a perfect spot for our eclipse weekend in Dripping Springs.
The room, while perhaps on the smaller side, was comfortable cozy and perfect for a single or couple's getaway. The bed was super comfortable, the mini-fridge was stocked with water, and the bathroom was clean and loaded with towels etc. We were a little nervous before getting there, staying in a building that was originally a stable, but we loved it! The renovation kept the historic charm while offering modern amenities like a Roku TV and high-speed internet.
The property is BEAUTIFUL and unique! If anything, the Estable listing undersells it. Sitting on the patio relaxing with a drink, listening to evening sounds and seeing an African animal herd moving around off in the distance is now a treasured memory. I can only imagine the higher-tier lodgings are even more amazing and I would love to be able to stay in one in the future.
The location was perfect for exploring Dripping Springs and the surrounding towns. A surprising number of wineries, distilleries, and breweries, along with great local restaurants were all just a short drive away. I only wish I had more time and more stomaches.
While we didn't need much from the staff, Kimberly was above and beyond! She quickly replied after hours and even called to inform us of severe weather possibilities one evening.
A++ all around!
