Hill Country Premier Lodging

“The cabin was in a perfect location right on the square, with plenty of shops, restaurants, and attractions within walking distance. The location was definitely a highlight of our stay. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the check-in experience. Although check-in was scheduled for 4:00 p.m., we had to wait an additional 45 minutes because the cabin was still being cleaned. It was frustrating to have to wait past the designated check-in time, especially when guests are expected to adhere to a strict 10:00 a.m. checkout time on departure day. We feel the same consideration should be given to guests arriving at check-in. Overall, the location was excellent, but the delayed check-in took away from our experience.”

“Overall the house was as described. Seemed to be more run down than photos would suggest with worn carpeting and stained furniture. Additionally one of the toilet seats was not secured and several hooks for towels were loose. We were excited to allow our child to play in the yard however the yard was definitely not child friendly with rusty gates, exposed wiring, rocky ground, metal debris throughout the yard. Also while close in proximity to main road in Dripping springs, there is not a pedestrian friendly pathway from the house into town—you have to cross a 5 lane highway and the nearest crossing is inaccessible from the house by sidewalk.”

“My husband and I stayed in the Garden House for a few days, and it was a cute place! Mostly quiet in the hills (neighbors left our their barking dogs for long periods), and service and WiFi issues as well. The bed was very comfortable and plenty of blankets. The only real issues we had were the shower curtains that were dirty brown and stained at the bottom, as well as the broken chairs, hammock, etc.”

“The property is in a peaceful location and has potential, but it needs more attention to cleanliness and maintenance. Upon arrival, the walls had stains, the glass patio door was very dirty, the patio needed cleaning, and the privacy curtains were badly torn. The shower also had very low water pressure. The property looks almost brand new in the listing photos, but its actual condition does not match those expectations. More care is needed to maintain the property. The Wi-Fi worked well on the first day, but when two more cabins became occupied the next day, we completely lost the connection. It is a shame because the location is quiet and has great potential. However, cleanliness, maintenance, and Wi-Fi reliability need improvement. We hope this feedback helps improve future guests’ experiences.”

“This house is in a neighborhood and 10 min from everything! Nothing walkable as far as restaurants/shops. Pros: The backyard is open to a field and deer come into the backyard each morning. My daughter hand fed them acorns, so peaceful! The hot tub was a great evening amenity. It was a little dirty when we arrived but they came out quickly to clean it. There is a weird gap in the fence by the hot tub that others have mentioned. We just propped up the hot tub cover in that gap and it was no big deal. The hosts were very responsive. Cons: This house really needs some maintenance. The pictures are not very reflective of the condition of the home. As soon as we walked in we smelled old cigarette smell. It’s not overwhelming, but definitely noticeable. All of the dishes smelled like mildew, master toilet not secured and does not flush well, master bed seemed broken. Laundry detergent empty with mildew in the cap. Not sure we would stay here again but still had a good weekend!”

“It was a great place but no way of truly cooking anything inside with only a microwave or charcoal grill. Great view.”

“The location of this property can't be beat! It was so nice being able to walk to a restaurant and walk back during dinner to grab a jacket - that's how close is it to everything! The porch overlooking the water and grassy area was also a really nice perk. The furnishing are cute and the shower is so nice! Only downside was that the place could have been cleaner. While not bad by any means, there was dust on the wine glasses and some hair/stains on the white bed and a dingy white pillow. I wouldn't let any of these things stop you from staying here though, they are just small ways the place could improve. We've already booked again!”

“As a host myself I was taken back after booking. There were so many messages about arrival that you can tell were canned messages and they were repeated over and over. I did not like that they wanted a Seperate rental agreement signed, contact information, and a copy of our IDs. Once arrived there was still trash in the bathroom, dead bugs all over and the ac was squealing. Later that day it got louder and then dripped all over. I sent a message about this the next day along with a video and they just said like 6 hours later " we will make a note". They emailed me a number they preferred me to use for issues but that is what airbnb platform is for. Views were great The door was hard to open. Our container only had 1 chair outdoor and no fire pit like the others. Has so much potential but it wasn't 5star”

“We had to cancel the trip due to documented severe flooding in the area and reported inaccessibility to the property. No credit, refund, concessions were entertained at all despite issues travel warnings. Horrible!”

“I have never left anything less than a 5 start review for any of the dozens we have stayed at. This was an awful experience! We arrived late Friday night and found two dead wasps on the floor before bed, no big deal. The next morning a few were flying around, and after getting coffee we returned to over a dozen inside the cabin. We contacted management and gave them time to address it, but while we waited, more and more wasps continued coming in through cracks around the ceiling and windows until we had no choice but to leave. The owner then refused to fully refund us and still charged for 1 night and a “cleaning fee,” despite us using nothing but the bed and one hand towel, we stripped the bed ourselves, and never used the shower, kitchen, pool, or anything else in the cabin. The owner’s complete lack of accountability after we were forced out by a problem with their property is why I would never recommend staying here. If you have an issue, don’t expect it to be resolved.”
