The Studio at Whitetail Ridge Retreat - Dripping Springs, TX

If you're looking to escape the cares of the world and relax in a quiet, small town, Dripping Springs is just for you! This quaint town brings nature to you with plant and animal life. Watch deer meander through your backyard, or take a walk to the nearby wet-weather pond. Your charming one-bedroom cabin is a great retreat for a family or friend getaway. Enjoy a shared pool and hot tub, plus all the comforts of home in a rustic modern setting. Dogs are welcome for a nightly fee, so the entire family can make memorable moments.

A cozy covered patio welcomes you to this delightful space, which is bursting with classic furnishings, wood floors, and wonderful antique accents. Practically every inch of this cabin has been lovingly appointed with decorations and welcoming features.

Straight down the small hallway through the front door is an open living area. Settle into one of the armchairs with a good book for a quiet afternoon in, or turn a movie on the TV before turning in for the night. A DVD player is attached to the TV, and WiFi is included so you can stream music, look up directions, and post pictures of your serene home base.

Across the room is a white washed kitchenette boasting the essentials beneath a unique pail light fixture. Store fresh ingredients in the refrigerator, heat up easy meals in the microwave, simmer soup on the hot plate, and toss some refrigerator rolls into the toaster oven. A coffeemaker, toaster, waffle iron, French press, and slow cooker are also included, though please note there is no traditional oven. There is also an outdoor shared kitchen, perfect for getting your Texas-style BBQ ready!

Set the countertop bar for all to eat together, then grab a glass of wine and head out to the porch to watch the sunset and stargaze before bed. The dogs will love lying on the porch or cuddling by your side.

The one bedroom features a comfortable queen-size bed, and the red sofa in the living room pulls out to a sofabed, giving all four adventures a place to rest. Before heading out in the morning, get ready in the bathroom, which has a spacious stand-alone shower.

Grab a blanket and snacks and take a hike up a nearby hill to see why Dripping Springs was the first town in Texas to be named an International Dark Sky Community. Stars light up the sky like you've never seen before! During the day, visit the weekly Farmer's Market on Wednesday afternoons to find everything from fresh produce to locally made lotions! Pedernales Falls State Park is 20 miles south for more hikes, or take the 10-mile drive into Austin for shopping, tasty eateries, and festivals.

Everyone will feel refreshed after a stay at this serene Texas vacation rental.
