This unique dog-friendly Dripping Springs vacation rental has access to an outdoor entertainment area complete with a shared pool and two hot tubs, as well as an outdoor kitchen, creating a fun experience for a group of girlfriends, a small family, or a group of post-wedding guests. The cottage is a single-level home of quirky taste, with nice hardwood floors and a mix of fun antique furnishings. The living room is on the simple side, making it a wonderful space for guests to relax. Entertainment amenities include WiFi, a DVD player and movie selection to watch on the flatscreen TV (there is no cable), and several board games. Guests traveling with little ones have a Pack N' Play, baby gates, and a high chair to use. The kitchen is an immaculate space with white cabinetry, white appliances, and sand tone countertops (please note that there is no dishwasher). The pressed tin backsplash and cute trinkets add a bit of flair to the culinary experience.
Take the fun outside to the shared back patio, where you can cook a meal in the outdoor kitchen while other guests splash about in the shared pool - this area is shared between the three homes on the property. The sandstone kitchen is fully covered and well-lit, and includes a stainless steel gas grill, a mini-fridge, and a single gas burner. There's even a bar for observers to drink and chat with the grill master. The pool area is surrounded by lounge chairs and picnic tables for the ultimate outdoor party. No need to go back inside to freshen up - there's an outdoor locker area here, complete with a shower and toilet! Use the in-home washer/dryer to keep towels and bathing suits fresh.
This is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom home. Both of the bedrooms have queen beds, TVs, and are lovingly named after the vintage soda signs that hang above the beds. One of the sofas in the living room pulls out into a full-size sleeper. All in all, this home can sleep up to six guests. Well-behaved, friendly dogs are welcome to come too (please note that there is an additional nightly fee).

It'll be hard to want to do anything else but explore this property, which itself includes hiking trails and plenty of outdoor spaces to nap or read in the shade under a tree or by the pool. At night, pack up blankets and thermoses of hot chocolate and find a good spot to stargaze. This is an ideal location for guests of weddings (Dripping Springs is known as the Wedding Capital of Texas) or those looking to experience the quirky culture of Austin. SXSW festival-goers will find this a well-priced alternative to a rental in the city.
