This house is downstream from the original “dripping springs” (which the town is named after) and it flows into our very own historic “Milk Springs” where nearby settlers, in the 1800 and early 1900s would put their dairy items in the ice cold spring to keep them fresh. This spring box is located in a beautiful grotto located at the back of our property. You can see into the grotto from the yard!

We had a good stay. The house is beautiful, clean and well kept. Lots of space for dogs and kids to play around. We only stayed for 3 days and will consider staying again. I would recommend talking to the manager before booking to know if there are people staying in the cottage next door. There was a family staying there at the same time we were staying at the house. It didn’t bother us, but just beware. Also the internet never worked for us and there’s no dishwasher available.

The house is very comfortable and charming. We did have a good time with family and our dog loved the big yard. Unfortunately We were not able to locate the spring within the property and the management company wasn’t very helpful with the information. In general nice property and great location.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear you and your family and your dog enjoyed the comfortable home and spacious yard, as well as the great location. We apologize for any confusion regarding the spring and for any miscommunication from our team. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to host you again with an even smoother experience.
Perfect location for family holiday gathering and then wedding in the area. 85 parents were extremely comfortable and could explore the outdoors, sun in rocking chairs or do puzzles as we all reflected on the experiences over coffee and quiche from the oven. Did tell many at the wedding about the place

Monique, this is such a joy to read. We’re so glad Milk Bath could be part of such a meaningful week—family time, celebration, and a wedding all woven together in one place. Hearing that everyone felt comfortable and could enjoy slow mornings, puzzles, and the outdoors is exactly what we hope for our guests. Thank you for sharing the space with your loved ones and for telling others about it at the wedding—that truly means more than you know. We’d be honored to welcome you all back anytime.
This space provided us with privacy, great space for cooking and crafting and just hanging out on the porch. Our small dogs also had a great time roaming the yard.

Great place, all was good. You should note no ice maker, only 1 real shower in the big house, no dish washer. Clean clean place. Cute house inside too. I'd do it again. - s

We really appreciate you pointing out the missing amenities like the ice maker, dishwasher, and shower setup. That kind of feedback helps us improve and also gives future guests a clearer picture. We'd love to host you again anytime!
The advertised description of this property is misleading and false. The worse people alive. These horrible people are trying to literally steal from me. VRBO or the Hill Country Premier Lodging... DISHONEST and BAD… very very bad…
I found the property on VRBO, as we needed to find a 5 night stay before we went to our daughters for Christmas and ew Years.The home was perfect and I loved its country setting. We had our 3 adult kids and their kids over for dinner and everyone loved the home also. I would definitely go back.

Thank you for your kind review! We're so happy to hear the home was perfect for your stay and that your family enjoyed it as well. We’d love to welcome you back anytime—perhaps for another holiday gathering!
House was very nice and clean. The outside of the property could use a little maintenance. The orange spray paint on the fence from maybe the neighbor was a little strange. Had a great weekend and a beautiful wedding for my granddaughter so how could it not be perfect. I would definitely recommend it with great location.

We have had some recent unfortunate vandalism at the property but the owners are working on rebuilding the fence!
Loved the location of this property in relation to the activities we were doing in Dripping Springs. Close to shopping, restaurants, wine tours! Only complaint is that the internet was very sporadic and the tv didn’t work at all during our stay
