Milk Bath Springs | Pet-Friendly Historic Downtown Cottage

Step back in time at the 1930’s inspired Milk Bath Springs Cottage! This 2 bedroom, 1 bath property sleeps up to 4 guests and a couple four-legged family members (some restrictions apply*). For larger groups, additional accommodations are available next door at the Milk Bath Springs House, offering space for up to 6 guests. Located in the heart of the historic district of downtown Dripping Springs, Milk Bath Springs is the perfect stay for your next Hill Country getaway. Conveniently located with a 5 minute walk to town, guests can enjoy day trips visiting the charming downtown area to notable restaurants and shops on Mercer Street, such as Thyme & Dough! This property is also within short driving distance of most wedding venues, breweries, and other local tourist attractions!

Beautiful stone exterior draws you into Milk Bath Springs Cottage! This cozy home carries that beautiful stone work throughout with a bit of hill country charm.

Comfortable seating surrounds a large flatscreen television for guests to gather around and enjoy their favorite show together!

Wondering where the name “Milk Bath Springs” comes from? 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!

Thinking about renting Milk Bath Springs House as well? A side patio features a pergola that sits over an outdoor dining area, where you can enjoy a meal in the wonderful Hill Country weather! Covered patio areas wrap around the sides of the house for guests to sip coffee and take in this beautiful property at Milk Bath Springs!

Bike along the Pedernales River or horseback ride at Reimers Ranch Park. Spend the day at Dreamland playing mini golf and pickleball, and in the evening you can take in the various art exhibits, live music, and unique food spots!

Beautiful property for a short stay only!
I stayed here for a full week and it was nice, quaint and peaceful. Although I was amazed that there was absolutely zero cleaning supplies. The overall cleanses of the property was below average. I actually purchased my own cleaning supplies to have a clean, comfortable stay. There’s a Keurig machine, although they provide zero Keurig cups. There’s not even sugar. If you are staying at this property, don’t stay longer than three days. Unfortunately they do not supply you with anything but a bed to sleep in and TV. I would not stay here again, although the management was absolutely a pleasure to work with.

Wedding stay
The house was great, location was awesome. Check in was seamless. The smoke detector started chirping the first night we were there. My son was able to take it down (he did put it back before we left). A broom and dustpan would have been nice to have available. I would stay in this house again and recommend it to family and friends.

Easter weekend getaway
Our stay in the beautiful hill country was relaxing and enjoyable. The property was just as described, and in a beautiful, quiet setting. We brought along our corgi puppy and the fenced in backyard was ideal! The great location was perfect for what we had planned in dripping springs. We would stay here again!

Dripping Springs Cottage
Delightful location! Very convenient to downtown Dripping Springs, but still felt a little isolated. The Cottage was the perfect size for just me and my dogs and was teeming with character. The fenced back yard was convenient, especially with the rain. The only negatives at all were the windows mentioned in previous posts that weren’t covered, and a lot of dust and debris under the beds & sofa. The window to the front door allowed anyone staying at the main house to look straight in to the living room. There were guests at the main house the 2nd night, so I had to cover it with a towel. I would love to return sometime when it’s not raining!

Aesthetically Pleasing House
This property is just as it appears in the photos. It is super cute and a fun place to stay. The location was a little busier than we expected but conveniently located. Dealing with the property manager was not a good experience. First of all- I wanted to cancel one night within the cancellation period but she refused to refund me any money. Second - I asked specifically about a full sized coffee machine - as we were going to have a house full. She told me that one was available but when we arrived there was not one. When I asked her about it - she argued with me and then just stopped responding. There were no Kcups for the Keurig that was provided. Everything was very limited in the house as far as basic necessities- trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels. Just the bare minimum. Very disappointing.

Short stay
We were looking for a short stay in a new town to us. We found dust bunnies and pet hair. There were washer dryer connections but no appliances as advertised. Keurig coffee maker was present but no coffee or condiments that we have gotten used to at rentals such as this. Overall the location is great and quiet and everything did work. Very nice appliances.

Disappointed
The house could have been wonderful. However, the floors had not been swept and the dust and dirt was just awful, including an empty bottle under the bed! There was no washer/dryer as listed. And the cute new stove did not work. I contacted the number we were given and they sent someone over, but he was not an appliance repairman. I asked for him to bring a broom so we could at least sweep, but he didn’t bring one. (There were no cleaning supplies or any way to clean - not even a towel to dry dishes.) On Monday they offered to send a stove repairman, but we didn’t want someone there while we were gone, and we had to leave for meals, so we declined (we were checking out the next morning). My husband is not well and we wanted a restful weekend. We planned to eat breakfast and lunch in, but couldn’t because of the stove. I sent photos and videos showing the stove wouldn’t stay on. No refund was offered but I asked and was offered $50 back (does not even cover the cost of our meals) but we’ve not received it yet. Just such a disappointment overall.

Great little house for 2-3 day stay
I locked myself out....twice. Owner helped me out quickly (and once it was very late). Property has everything needed for a short stay. I wish coffee/creamer was provided. We had to buy our own (: House needs blinds or curtains (yellow) in 1 of the bedrooms and the living area (you could see the neighbors and vice versa). Maybe curtains over the back door window too....the sun is brutal if you are sitting on the couch. Owners are great to communicate with. Will be staying here again next year. But hoping these minor changes can be done. And, the bathtub is wonderful....not recommended for older people who have trouble getting in/out of the tub. Extra shampoo/conditioner/toilet tissue would be a plus.
