Whether you’re in town for a wedding or family escape, you’ve found your home away from home. This hacienda-style home sits on 1.5 acres of rolling hills and trees overlooking the creek - close to town but far out enough to enjoy the quiet. Relax in the shade or sun with a table or alfresco dining. Gather around the firepit (as long as there’s no fire ban) for s’mores, stories, and songs. When the stars come out, look at them more closely with the provided telescope. Dripping Springs is part of the International Dark-Sky Community, an area dedicated to preserving the night sky. Make sure your stay here includes a trip to the Hamilton Pool, one of the best swimming holes in Texas. Nearby, Milton Reimers Ranch Park will let you saddle up for horseback riding, or you can hike, rock climb, or fish in over 2,400 acres of parks and open space along the Pedernales River. With nearby wineries and an olive company, you’ll feel like you’re in the Tuscany of Texas! Almost 25 miles from Austin and less than 60 miles from historic Fredericksburg and Luckenbach, this vacation home is your perfect home base for enjoying authentic Texas.

From the front door, you’ll enter the long and spacious living room with modern-rustic flooring, a comfortable area rug, and a wood-burning fireplace for cool nights. Curl up on the sectional to watch a movie on the colossal cable TV while you update your friends back home using the house’s WiFi. Several windows, tall ceilings, and an open design make the rooms bright and airy. The dining area near the back of the living room has the best view of the expansive backyard. Or, belly up to the breakfast bar with granite countertop on high-backed stools. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to make a family-style meal or just a snack for a trip to the creek. With a large central island and long countertops on both sides, there’s plenty of room for several cooks in the kitchen. The electric stove/oven with a glass stovetop and dishwasher make cooking and cleaning up a breeze. The second den space has a comfy couch and an Xbox 360.

Each bathroom has signature basin sinks and granite countertops; two are en suites.

Overview
The property was well maintained and completely filled our needs however, a couple of items. We could not get the televisions to work properly do to the poor internet. We needed to use a cellphone hotspot for the tv. The other item was the front door latch would not keep the front door closed. We would stay here again.

Everything was great, minus the roofing company that came over to work on the roof at 8:00am and we had no warning. Once I let Vacasa know, the roofers were gone within the hour.

Nice house
House was clean and comfortable and we had a nice time. The play area across the creek was great for the children. Our only complaint is that we never received replies from the property manager. One request was a question and the second was to report that the ice maker didn’t work. Both went unanswered.

Great location
We had a great time. Due to COVID we had to stay in place. So the highlight of our days was watching the deer come through the yard. It was foggy at night so we couldn’t use the telescope.

Bachelor Party Weekend
Excellent location! Remote enough for a relaxed party without worry of waking the neighbors and in a nice clean neighborhood. House and back porch are even better than the pictures. Spacious and clean with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. Back porch was great for evening hang out. We had a paintball tournament down the street at Austin Paintball and the location was perfect. There are 4 beds, 3 couches, and plenty of room for blow up mattresses if needed. Highly recommend this place!

This property was gorgeous. Very clean and comfortable. Appreciated the available sundries for basic kitchen needs. Enjoyed breakfasts on the patio and watching wildlife. The treehouse and swing in the back were fun even for adults. A bit of a drive to downtown Austin, but worth it.

Relaxing Stay In the Hill Country
We had a lovely stay with family at the Stargazer. The view from the back of the house is beautiful and private. All the basic amenities and more were provided making it a comfortable stay. We enjoyed having a comfortable place to relax as we were in town for a family wedding. The inside was decorated and stocked nicely. The layout was great for the 5 adults that stayed together. A few ideas for improvement would be to repair or replace the dishwasher, the top shelf was very difficult to get in and out. Other ideas would be to have a recycling bin, a soap dish for each bathroom, and extra pillows with various densities. We enjoyed our stay. It was a great neighborhood for walking as there was little vehicle traffic. Our party enjoyed local activities such as a drive through safari, guided fishing trip and dinners out.

Wonderful place!
One of the cleanest places we have stayed yet! We thoroughly enjoyed the layout of the house, including the split bedrooms and 3 full baths. The back porch was so inviting - we enjoyed the privacy there and watching the deer. Our son loved the treehouse on the lower part of the property. Beds were comfortable. We will return here!

Wedding and Riding
My daughter got married in Austin/Dripping Springs so we arrived a couple of days before the wedding. The house was very nice, but what made the stay special for us was the back yard. My brother and I LOVE to bbq, and the area in the back was so good with a spectacular view. After the wedding the group rode the Hill Country on Harleys. Great stay
