Great homebase for family and friends

Our family stayed at Rudy's Nest for a family wedding weekend. Great house, spacious, picturesque location, and close to everything in Dripping Springs. The owner was great at communication, access was easy, and the owner very kindly mailed us a dress that we inadvertently left behind, at no cost. Overall, a lovely home in which to spend a few days in Dripping Springs!

Beautiful Property!

The entire experience was extraordinary! It was easily booked and communication with the owner was exceptional! He even personally came by to bring us more towels and fill us in on the property and local attractions- very hospitable! The house was very clean with lots of room for our entire family… and 5 beautiful bathrooms were appreciated with all of our teenagers! The grounds provided lots of entertainment.. fishing, lots of room for games, and celebrating each day at night around the firepit! We would all highly recommend this property!! Five stars all around!!
