Perfect Hill Country Getaway
The house was very nice and clean! The location is perfect for exploring the Dripping Springs and Wimberley area! Rooms were perfect for 4 couples. None of the rooms shared a wall so it helped with privacy. Would definitely recommend this house to anyone and would stay here again.

Girls weekend
My friends and I spent a girls' weekend at this fabulous home. The home was just as beautiful in person as in the pictures. We were amazed at the attention to detail and gorgeous decorating. The house provided everything you could ever want or need. We would highly recommend staying here and can't wait to do it ourselves again sometime soon!

Hill country hidden gem
This is a beautiful house in a lovely part of the hill country…close to many delicious restaurants and wineries! My only complaint is that there are only two full baths…should be listed as 4 bedrooms 2 1/2 baths…but still wonderful nonetheless!!!

Amazing Hill Country Retreat!
Our family of 7 had a wonderful stay at the Escondida house! There was plenty of room for everyone and the layout was perfect. The kids had a spade upstairs if they wanted, and we enjoyed the large downstairs area. The big dining table is great for family dinners and board games. We went to several swimming holes in the area (Blue Hole, Krause Springs, Barton Springs and Landa Park), and the house was a nice, central location. The Shady Llama is a nice spot for an evening wind down, too! Audrey was very quick to respond and is a great host. We would definitely stay again! Thank you!!!

Beautifully appointed home
The Escondida Farmhouse was a gorgeous home, professionally decorated, with every need of the traveler taken into consideration. Details like labeled light switches, small flashlight, black wash cloths for make-up removal, and well stocked basic toiletries (I kept sniffing the hand soap trying to find out which one was my favorite) made settling in so much easier. We loved its location close to Duchman Winery, Trattoria Lisina, The Salt Lick BBQ and about an hour away from Fredericksburg and Alstadt Brewery. We had a short stay but I hope we can visit again in future. I highly recommend this home. By the way, access information wasn’t provided until the day before we arrived. Maybe that was mentioned on site but I don’t recall seeing it. Beautiful house!
