Quick Stay in Johnson City

This house is in a great location in Johnson City. I needed a place to stay while working on some property nearby. The house is very comfortable, good parking, good location, and you can walk to several shops and places to eat.

Quaint cute home! Comfortable beds and very clean. Nice that there was a traditional coffee pot for my husband and not a K cup. 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, with a great setup. Living area and kitchen are in the middle of home with bed/bath on either side. Nice yard, however, with our visit being in August, we did not get outside to enjoy.We would definitely stay here again:)

Cozy Little House

The location was perfect for our son’s wedding in Hye. It was walking distance to “town”. It had everything we needed including a lovely backyard seating area. It was great to have a covered driveway considering we had a huge storm one night!

Comfortable

Great place for my wife and 2 teenagers to spend a couple of days. We had everything we needed and host was great and nearby if needed. Beds were comfortable and kitchen well supplied. Rained too much for Cornhole, but I loved seeing the boards and bags there. Covered parking was a big plus. Thank you!

Quiet neighborhood, beautifully restored home.

Beautifully restored older home in a quiet neighborhood close to the downtown area. The house was very clean with newer appliances and furnishings. There were deer in the yard across the street from the house. We really liked the house and area and would definitely consider staying here again.

Delightful Stay in Johnson City

Shannon's Little Dipper was the perfect spot and such a charming home. It was very clean, well appointed and warmly decorated. She was a super host, bringing us one item that we wasn't onsite, so responsive. The location was great for walking to the nearby restaurants and we appreciated Shannon's recommendations for them. The LBJ boyhood home was just a few blocks away and we enjoyed the tour as well as the information from the volunteers at the visitor center. The home was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed the home and Shannon's hospitality!

Relaxing Oasis

My friend and I stayed at Little Dipper for 2 nights as a side trip from Austin while visiting my son and his family. We spent the first day checking out some places in Driftwood and the second day in Fredericksburg, Luckenbach, and a winery on the way back to Johnson City. A great base for a hill country getaway. Very private rooms. Each of us had our own “wing” with separate bathrooms. We enjoyed sitting in the backyard on the patio in the evenings. I plan to stay here again when my husband comes with me next time.

We stayed in the Little Dipper for one night while attending a wedding close by. Joe was very easy to communicate with and always provided answers to my questions promptly! The house was easy to check in, extremely clean and quite charming! The coffee provided was a thoughtful touch and we enjoyed sipping it in the large back yard in comfortable seating Sunday morning. All the beds were comfy and the a/c worked perfectly on a relatively warm October night. Thanks Joe, we would be happy to return as well as recommend Little Dipper to our friends!

Perfect location for visiting the wineries on 290. We liked being in Johnson City rather than Fredericksburg. Enjoyed sitting in the back yard in the evening. Inside is updated and had everything we needed. A very enjoyable stay!

Perfect Getaway in Johnson City, TX

We really enjoyed our short stay in Johnson City. This sweet house was perfect for us. It was an easy walk to lots of locations- a local coffee shop, a local breakfast place and a local craft brewery. It was an easy drive to the tasting rooms and local wineries on 290 and to the Lyndon B. Johnson historical sites. This house sits in a terrific location. We made good use of the backyard and the barbecue grill, and the kitchen was appointed with everything we needed and then some. The house was easy to find. We arrived later than expected and in the dark, but the house was very welcoming with lights on - waiting for us. The owners were easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend this property.

Great outdoor soace

The property was super easy to find. The host communicated quickly when we had questions. The outdoor space was well groomed and had comfortable adirondack chairs around a gas fire pit. It was a perfect space for hanging out after a day of wine and shopping.

Wonderful home!

My husband and I were delighted with this charming and well equipped home. We stayed in Johnson City for a family wedding. Glad the house had a hairdryer, iron, microwave etc. Easy walk to a great coffee shop next door. We visited several local wineries which was fun. The host was a great communicator. Highly recommend this very clean and adorable home.
