This was a perfect house for our stay in Dripping Springs. It had all of the essentials we needed, and it was so peaceful. The host was great with communication, and the house was very clean. It’s right in the heart of town, and I would love to stay again if we are ever in the area.

The house and location are great! Loved having the foosball table which became a highlight for one of our iced in nights during the storm! Hosts were accommodating and worked with us regarding the situation. Great place to stay.

This house was really fun to stay in. The decor all through the house was pieced together for a perfect stay. The attention to detail was awesome. The hosts were also outstanding and were very prompt with reply’s and accommodating our needs. We would highly recommend!
The Murray House worked perfectly for our family and exceeded all expectations. The location and neighborhood can’t be beat. Everything was spotless, beautifully decorated and the layout of the house is great. Steve was so helpful and impressively responsive. This is honestly one of the best places we’ve ever stayed, including luxury hotels. We highly recommend and plan to visit again in the future.
I stayed at the property with my 2 young daughters, spouse and mother. There was plenty of room for us all. The house is well updated and clean. Nice amenities and perfect for our short stay. I would book again.
I stayed at this property for a girl's trip weekend and it was the perfect location to stay in Dripping Springs. It was within walking distance to a local bakery and the main street area and a quick drive to downtown Austin. The property was very clean and spacious with all the amenities we needed. Communication with the host was very easy and there was a binder with clear directions on everything in the house. Would definitely stay here again.

We entered town to celebrate the life of our 8 year old nephew who passed on July 3rd.
Our family flew in from all over the United States to share in 3 days of celebration for our beloved nephew. Our stay in your home was located minutes from our gathering point and 30 min. from church. It was clean and comfortable and very welcoming. Thank you.

HI Stacey,
We are so sorry to hear of your nephews passing. Very sad.
We are glad that we had a peaceful and welcoming space for you to stay.
Please accept our condolences.
Nestled in the heart of Dripping Springs, this VRBO is a testament to hospitality excellence. It is within walking distance to great restaurants and shopping.
From the carefully curated decor to the well-equipped kitchen to the bedroom linens, every detail provides warmth and comfort. What sets this VRBO apart is the owners' personalized touch with welcome snacks and drinks and helpful information upon arrival. The owners are very responsive and helpful as well. This VRBO is truly a rare find and has a home away from home feel that we have not experienced anywhere else.
Our family visited for the April 8 solar eclipse. The owner very thoughtfully left us viewing glasses as well as drinks in the fridge and a variety of snacks on the counter. We watched the eclipse from the backyard and then walked over to the SUNBlock party after the eclipse was over. The location is quiet with lots of parking. It’s within walking distance of Walgreens and the Starbucks is another couple of blocks up the street. There was plenty of space for our family and we had a wonderful stay.

Thank you for staying with us! We hope to host you again soon. Safe Travels!
The House is spacious, tastefully decorated and fully functional. My wife and I are retired and like to visit the hill country for hiking and shopping - there is plenty of both near Dripping Springs. We also brought our own DVDs and DVD payer which we plugged into the very large flat screen TV. This gave us our entertainment when we were not out and about. We required two bedrooms and separate bathrooms, which this rental supplied with great comfort. The third bedroom with double beds was not used. The location is two blocks from Hwy 290 but was quiet yet handy to central town attractions. Overall it was a delightful stay.

Thank you Edward. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and we hope you’ll stay with us again. Safe travels!
Great location in a charming neighborhood in Dripping Springs. A 1-min walk to an awesome bakery / coffee / lunch spot, Thyme and Dough. We were in town for a wedding and found out later the Heritage Festival was going on that weekend. A very close walk to the festival, so that was a bonus. Very clean and well-equipped - the host was very responsive...
