About this property

Whispering Oaks Main House with Pool/Fire-Pit/Hot tub on 10 Acres

Situated on 10 gorgeous hill country acres, this property presents a stunning impression. Consisting of the Main House with custom moldings, soaring ceilings, rich hardwood floors and massive walls of arch-topped windows. Living areas are bright and spacious.

Classic dormers and a full-length French balcony capture the eye and hold it, all the way down the tree-lined circular drive. One is greeted in the foyer by custom fluted door moldings, tall ceilings and a graceful staircase with iron-spindle balusters. Centered by a broad fireplace and built-in cabinetry, the handsome family room features a brilliant stand of windows that offer tranquil views of the backyard landscape and pool. The adjacent formal dining room is accented by an arched window and an iron chandelier that suspends from a 10’ ceiling.

The efficient and well-equipped kitchen features quarts tops, stainless-steel appliances that includes dual ovens, a beverage cooler and a six-burner gas stove. Enjoy relaxing views of the backyard and pool from the sun-filled breakfast room.

Bright with natural sunlight, the primary suite is a quiet escape from the main living area. It has private access to the covered patio and pool. The primary bath has dual vanities, a jet tub, frame less glass shower and an walk-in closet with built-in drawers. The main floor also holds a second guest bedroom. The upstairs has four bedrooms as well as a bonus sitting area with a work station. A secondary staircase located by the kitchen leads up to another bedroom and a bonus room that has 2 queen beds with a separate bedroom off of it.

The home’s sprawling park-like grounds are punctuated with hardwood, elm and native oak trees. Water-efficient plants and child-safe wrought-iron fencing surround a pool with a hot tub and a poolside cabana with twin wide-screen TV’s.

The Hill country offers terrific wedding venues, Winery tours, Brewery tours, Distillery Tours and small town ambiance. While Austin has all the amenities a big city has to offer, plus great music festivals such as ACL , SXSW and the 360 Amphitheater has the biggest musical acts in the business.

Dripping Springs Family Wedding
Our family group stayed at the property for a family wedding weekend. We appreciated the beauty and serenity of the property. The house was clean and well cared for. The managers, Josh and Portia were very quick to respond to any questions we had. Very nice folks. We enjoyed the spacious and beautiful property very much.

Great Place and Highly Recommended
Both the place and hosts were great. The property was an easy drive from downtown and close to a lot of local spots like breweries and distilleries. We highly recommend staying here. Everything was very clean and in good order. The property is huge. For clarification, one of the twin beds listed is a trundle bed, but it is a nice matress for the trundle. Also, purchasing firewood for the firepit and propane for the grill are the obligation of the renters so be prepared for that. There is a homedepot and HEB just a few minutes away, so not a big deal.

Very near the excellent Hog Heaven wedding venue
We needed a great place to stay for our niece and my children’s first cousin’s marriage. We were very satisfied with the rental which was as advertised. Very private and relaxing get away long weekend.

Perfect house for our group!
We had a group of 18 adults stay several days and everyone loved their stay. We all travel together every July and this was our favorite home for the past 13 years. The kitchen was stocked with everything you’d need. Everything! The entire house was perfect for all of us and that says a lot for 16 adults. The pool is large and awesome. We enjoyed all the outside amenities! If you’re considering a place for a group, this is it! You won’t regret it.

About the host

Hosted by Josh & Porsha

Host profile image
Ourselves (Della and John) own a house in Spain and are usually there enjoying our retirement. Before we moved here we lived in Dripping Springs, TX where we worked as owners of a property management company consisting of mostly long term rentals. In 2017 we shifted our focus to Short Term Rentals(STRs) and sold the majority of our investment houses and turned the remaining home(s) into STRs which we manage with the help of our niece and newphew (Josh & Porsha).

Why they chose this property

When we first saw this property we knew we fell in love with it. We love the country feel yet it is so close to everything.

What makes this property unique

Great for a family reunion, company retreat, wedding or quiet weekend with that special someone. Far enough away but close to everything!

Austin
We are 25 minutes to Downtown Austin and 45 minutes the Circuit of the Americas.
35 to the main Airport (ABIA) AUS.

Dripping Springs has numerous wineries, wine bars, beer joints, breweries, restaurants and distilleries.

Driftwood is home to the original world famous Salt Lick BBQ and its only 5 minutes away and if you're looking for something unexpected the Trattoria Lisina has the most amazing Italian food you could ever hope for.

Wimberly is only 10 minutes away - great antique shops, eateries, wedding venues, wineries, and swimming hole.

Fredericksburg is only 40 minutes away - world renown shops, German food, petting zoos, wineries, breweries and tons of old town fun.

We are close to numerous wedding venues which makes us a great choice to have your big wedding and have your family stay in one location (in our home) instead of a bunch of hotel rooms spread across the city.
