Perfect retreat
Very well kept up and clean. Each morning there was deer just hanging out and we could see from our porch. Another great thing was the way each of the tree houses are positioned. They’re angled out so if you look out the window you’re not looking at the other tree houses window. The treehouse is about an hour away from circuit of the Americas, so it was a great place to come back too, and well worth the drive after a day, being surrounded by large crowds. Only thing I would suggest is for each treehouse to have its own unique door code to unlock. We arrived really late the first night and wasn’t sure which one was ours since it was so dark. Then we opened the door to what we thought was our treehouse using the door code in our email. But immediately realized it wasn’t ours that we had booked. Thankfully we got it right on the 2nd time.

Couples Getaway
This cabin was perfect for a long relaxing weekend for my husband's birthday. The location was close to Pedernales state park. The cabin had everything we needed and was just the right size for a couple. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and swinging in the swinging, under the house, after a day of hiking. Beautiful property!

Great potential
Overall, our stay was good however the property did have some things that were in disrepair such as the patio chairs and bed’s firmness as disgusted in other reviews. The property was very clean. It’s charming little area! I would also suggest a loveseat instead of a single chair for two people seating.

Great Stay in Dripping Springs!!
We stayed for Labor Day weekend, 2024, at the Nautical House (part of the Arbor House group of houses) north of Dripping Springs. The location was great to visit Pedernales Falls State Park, Sundance Hill Farm, Texas Hill Country Olive Company, as well as breweries, wineries and distilleries. The best part of the house was its location. The back deck looks into the woods and with many trees hanging overhead, making for wonderfully peaceful mornings for coffee and equally peaceful evenings looking at the stars through the tree branches. And the number of stars you can see in the country is amazing compared to city life. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for the weekend. Hill Country Premier Lodging was easy to work with, communicated clearly and responded quickly with any questions. We would not hesitate to stay there again if our travels take us to Dripping Springs. We highly recommend it!!

We were looking for an intimate space to spend our anniversary and we found it. Far enough away for a quiet weekend yet close enough to enjoy farmer's markets and wineries.

Last Minute Get Away
Very quiet and peaceful surroundings. We spend hours on the treetop balcony watching the birds, squirrels and deer. Just minutes away from Pedernales Falls State Park and enjoyed a day of hiking and swimming there. Definitely want to come back with more friends and take advantage of the whole group of treetop cabins.

Relax
It was private and you could touch the trees from the deck. Enjoyed our stay very much. It was quaint, clean and private. Any suggestion I would give would be a new bedspread/comforter. Seemed and looked very old, and better lighting on the stairs. I'm a gardener and walked around the peoperty and made a nice pile of fallen branches. Don't want to sound at all like a complaint because it was very enjoyable. I would like to come back and rent out all of the cabins for a little family reunion

Great location near Pedernales State Park
It was nice. I like to visit Pederneles State Park, but it is very hard to get a camp site there. This cabin is only a 5-10 minute drive away. It’s nice and quiet with a nice deck for relaxing at night and in the mornings. I also found a brewery only 5 minutes away too. Quite handy.

The house was cute and had a nice view from the porch. The mattress and pillows were very worn and uncomfortable to sleep on. The water pressure in the shower was terrible and the water temperature was hard to control. It was either scalding hot or cold. There were 2 irons, but no ironing board. I sent a text to the property manager and was told they would ask the owner. I never heard back from them and never received an ironing board. Overall, it was an okay experience, but I don't think we will be back.

Highly recommend the Nautical House!
We stayed at the Nautical House (Arbor house of Dripping Springs, Tx) for our Christmas this year. It was just my husband and I on the entire property. The cabin was so beautiful and very clean ( I thoroughly checked when we first arrived). We loved our stay and will definitely be going back again. Make sure you bring plenty of food since the nearest town is a good drive away. They have a small dorm style fridge, a convection oven, a microwave, and a grill outside (No stove). Wifi signal was great the entire time. We thought we'd have to fight with it and probably not have signal at all but that wasn't the case. They had a tv and a Roku and we were able to log onto our accounts to watch movies. Signal on the tv did glitch now and then but it was no big deal. We also downloaded movies from Netflix and Amazon Prime before we went and brought an HDMI cable to hook from the laptop to the tv to avoid any wifi issues, so I highly recommend that too. Or just sit on the porch or at the firepit and enjoy nature! They had a horseshoe and cornhole game area around the firepit and a tiny little pond nearby. We loved the bench swings on the property the most. Overall it was a wonderful experience. The only part that sucked a little bit was the water in the shower would go from hot to cold constantly but perhaps it was our good moods that found humor in the situation and we laughed the whole time since it wasn't a big deal at all. We're beyond happy we chose to stay at the Nautical House!!

Nice little getaway
Nice place, clean. The WiFi is non existent, wouldn’t recommend staying here if you need to stay connected. There is a piece of paper on the table with several WiFi logins and passwords, paper states to try all combinations of logins and passwords. None of them worked. Roku TV, which is fine, except it keeps kicking you off because there is no WiFi. Overall nice place, peaceful and quiet.

This was exactly what we were looking for. We actually stayed in the Garden House. Changing our reservations to the Garden House was seamless as everyone was so helpful. My only suggestion would be is have what you need when you arrive (coffee, food, etc), so you can enjoy your stay without running back into town.

Cute but not comfortable
The cabin was nice, and the deck was a quiet place to hangout. The bed was very uncomfortable. The cheapest mattress one can buy. And the water heater was so small the shower immediately started fluctuating in temperature as soon as you turned it on. The cabin was spacious and clean.

Disappointed
Towels and sheets are old and stained. Blanket on our bed had blood stains, and clearly had not been washed ash in a long time, it should be replaced. Ceiling fan gross. Throw rugs very dirty. Mattress needs replacing. The whole cleaning of the place did not give you the feel of being disinfected. Considering COVID is still around. Door was hard to lock. We followed there directions on how to do it. The house itself is very cute. Y’all just need to purchase some new items. Out door area is cute. You do not get Wi-Fi or TV. Which we were prepared for. Drive to top of hill to get signal. Overall we would stay again with friends if these items were addressed.

I read several reviews before booking. Some were ok and some were not satisfied. As for my stay we had the best time, best location and saw a lot of wildlife both on property and off. We found the cabin to be perfect for a couple/ WI/FI was no problem once the staff resolved our short time issue. They were quick to resolve and pleasant to speak with. Will be back LOL maybe when a little cooler :)

Great location, but missing a few important, thoughtful details
The Good: Location was perfect for our needs (attending a wedding nearby), and beautiful--reclining on the porch felt truly like being in a tree house. Air conditioner is a tiny workhorse--we visited during the first hot weekend of the summer and being able to come into a cool house was such a relief for these Coloradans! The whole property was well-appointed, clean, and welcoming, while each cabin also felt private and self-contained. This would be an excellent location for family gatherings! The Not-So-Good (notes for property managers): No kitchen towels and no replacement trash bags--necessary to comply with the check-out/cleaning requests Porch swing under the house was broken, as the eyebolt had not been properly installed to begin with. My husband is a handyman, so he was able to repair it for our use, but that was disappointing to see upon arrival. We appreciated that an iron was provided, but there wasn't an ironing board to go along with it, so it was a challenge trying to get our wedding clothes presentable. Very weak/inconsistent wifi signal and no phone on property. This isn't a good location for folks who need to be reachable or to perform remote work while on the property. There was no exhaust fan in the bathroom, which, when sharing the single room cabin with someone else, could be uncomfortable. Please check the bed frame and make repairs. It had been terribly creaky all weekend, and when we were packing up, I finally noticed the reason was because the center support rail was cracked in half at the foot of the bed. Water pressure in the shower is quite poor, this could lead to higher than normal water usage, since it takes longer than it should to completely rinse hair and body.
