Relaxing
The property is located in a rural area. It's centrally located to Blanco, Wimberley and Dripping Springs. The property has its own private entrance with covered parking located just by the front door. It is a comfortable room. The bed is comfortable. The back patio has a nice view of the back yard which is filled with deer, possums and various other animals and birds. It was a pleasant stay and I do recommend it. Will visit again

Hill Country Hideout
The property is remote, quiet, and charming. There are hiking trails on the property and the fire pits are wonderful. The back deck is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the serene view. I would stay again.

Just what we needed
This property is way out in the country, making it the perfect getaway from Austin. The deck afforded us the ability to sit outside and enjoy listening to the birds.

Enjoyable Even in the Rain
There's also a gorgeous floofy cat who clearly owns the place and comes around to collect pets from visiting admirers in the evenings. Icing on the cake! <3 <3 <3

Perfect Getaway
My husband and I booked a last minute weekend getaway here and it was perfect. The location is convenient to so many places. We visited Greune, New Braunfels, Canyon Lake, Fredericksburg, and Johnson City during our stay and none were more than 45 mins away (that's just "up the road" in Texas 😉). The property is gorgeous and though we were not far from several places we wanted to visit, we felt wonderfully isolated from hustle and bustle in our getaway. Plenty of space inside, a great deck outside overlooking the gorgeous property where we spent lots of time in the morning drinking coffee and in the evening with a fire in the chiminea. Multiple firepits on the grounds were a very nice touch. The creek is dried up this time of year, which meant we got to go exploring/hiking down the creekbed. Saw lots of wildlife and some domestic (deer, chickens, turkey vultures, Miss Kitty 😉). Andy was awesome as a host. We had everything we needed and he was quick to answer messages when we had questions. We visit this area often and this is now our favorite place to stay. We will definitely be back again.
