Great house for our big family!!! Loved the outside pool area and large dinning table! Perfect for being together and attending wedding in dripping springs area!!
Was a great location for our wedding trip & served as the family pre-wedding venue as well.Plenty of room, great location, quite secluded but ez access to Dripping Springs.
The house was spotless and very well equipped. The back patio is the most lovely place to have coffee in the morning. The property is beautiful. It was a little cool for us to use the pool but it was very peaceful and nice.
This house was Amazing! A tad of the beaten path but VERY worth it! The road and driveway were paved. There are definitely wilder parts on the property driving up to the house (hello its a ranch) but everything inside the gated areas were very well maintained! The house was more than fully stocked and everything was good quality from the heavy silverware and beautiful glassware. The pantry had everything from a large crock pot, ninja blender, panini press and more! The game room was also amazing! The pool was great and the hot tub was very hot! It spilled into the pool which also took the edge off the cool pool water. Any time I had a question, Jeanette answered within 10 min EVEN ON EASTER! Whether if you're local looking for a quiet family staycation with plenty to do or coming in from out of town, this house has it all. As a local, I also wanted to state that its about 30 min to downtown, 20 minutes to Wimberley, 10 min or less to bars and restaurants, and 8 minutes to a big grocery store! If you've got family that like to shoot skeet or hunt, down the road is Hog Heaven Sporting Club! It is AMAZING!! I also recommend Salt Lick BBQ which is a destination spot surrounded by their vineyards, ly about 15 min away! Tons of vineyards and breweries within 15-20 min! Enjoy your stay!

My goodness! What an amazing review! So detailed! Thank you for the kind words. Its wonderful to hear that you had a great stay and a Happy Easter. I hope to host you again. Once again, thank you for the fantastic review!
The house was beautiful, the host was always available and responded really quickly. The pool with hot tub was our favorite! Hot tub was perfect because it was a really rainy weekend and we only got like 2 hours of sun :( but we still made the best of it. Would stay again!

Thank you for the awesome review! Please come back anytime! Y’all were amazing guests!
We had a wonderful time at this property as a family. There was great communication with the management and they were quick to respond and were very helpful. Very clean, organized and easy to find things. Would absolutely stay here again!
Our stay involved 3 families who were celebrating thanksgiving together. Loved everything about the home as it provided opportunities for everyone to have their own space. The outdoor spaces and gathering areas were perfect including a huge fenced backyard for our young boys to run and play. Kitchen was nicely finished with everything we needed.

Thank you for the 10 of 10 review! It is a great property to let the kids enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Please come back anytime!
Fantastic property and amenities! The house is immaculate and well-appointed. The grounds and surrounding area beautifully maintained, the pool was sparkling clean and the hot tub amazing! The kitchen offered everything one would need, and more while the game room provided hours of entertainment! The dark skies allowed for beautiful star gazing, and the view on the front porch was perfect for watching the sun rise over the horizon. The hosts are highly responsive and friendly and seem to have thought of everything possible to make their guests' stay memorable. The only thing that wasn't a 10/10 was the bed in the primary room. Very creaky and noisy when sitting on it or repositioning during the night, and the mattress not very forgiving. Neither of us got much sleep during our stay because of the noisy creaking sounds when either of us moved. Plus, my back and hips are sore on pressure points from the stiff mattress. We are average size people, not overweight, so this wasn't due to excessive poundage. Everything else concerning the house and property is excellent! All in all we are happy with our stay and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet, luxurious getaway.

Thank you for the information. We replaced the mattress immediately with a new mattress and tightened the bolts on the bed. We realize how important it is to have a good nights sleep especially when on vacation. I am glad you enjoyed the property and the home. I hope you will come back and stay with us again! Thank you once again!
The property manager, Porsha, was very communicative and accommodating. Overall the property is nice but certainly in a fairly isolated area. Have to be aware of the animal and insect life as there are scorpions on the property. We did not have an issue as the area is treated to exterminate them. The outdoor seating areas are nice, however some chairs and cushions need to be replaced and the patio areas power washed. Water pressure in the showers is also underwhelming. Even with these minor issues, we did enjoy our stay on the property.
Exactly as listed. Host was great with communication.
