About this house rental
Situated on 10 gorgeous hill country acres, this property presents a stunning impression. Consisting of Main House (8/5) and Guest House (2/2) with custom moldings, soaring ceilings, rich hardwood floors and massive walls of arch-topped windows. Living areas are bright and spacious.
Classic dormers and a full-length French balcony capture the eye and hold it, all the way down the tree-lined circular drive. One is greeted in the foyer by custom fluted door moldings, tall ceilings and a graceful staircase with iron-spindle balusters. Centered by a broad fireplace and built-in cabinetry, the handsome family room features a brilliant stand of windows that offer tranquil views of the backyard landscape and pool. The adjacent formal dining room is accented by an arched window and an iron chandelier that suspends from a 10’ ceiling.
The efficient and well-equipped kitchen features quarts tops, stainless-steel appliances that includes dual ovens, a beverage cooler and a six-burner gas stove. Enjoy relaxing views of the backyard and pool from the sun-filled breakfast room.
Bright with natural sunlight, the primary suite is a quiet escape from the main living area. It has private access to the covered patio and pool. The primary bath has dual vanities, a jet tub, frame less glass shower and an walk-in closet with built-in drawers. The main floor also holds a second guest bedroom. The upstairs has four bedrooms as well as a bonus sitting area with a work station. A secondary staircase located by the kitchen leads up to another bedroom and a bonus room that has 2 queen beds with a separate bedroom off of it.
In addition to the main house there is a guest house with a covered front porch with views of the backyard, pool and cabana. The guest house has a sizable living room, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, full kitchen and laundry room.
The home’s sprawling park-like grounds are punctuated with hardwood, elm and native oak trees. Water-efficient plants and child-safe wrought-iron fencing surround a pool with a hot tub and a poolside cabana with twin wide-screen TV’s.
The Hill country offers terrific wedding venues, Winery tours, Brewery tours, Distillery Tours and small town ambiance. While Austin has all the amenities a big city has to offer, plus great music festivals such as ACL , SXSW and the 360 Amphitheater has the biggest musical acts in the business.

My family and my sister’s family have been getting together for 30 years. We started at the Hyatt Hill country, then the JW Marriott Hill Country and just this year decided to rent a house. We spent so much more time together having a nice pool for just us, large firepit, beautiful back patio and a large kitchen table. After a vote we have decided to continue renting this house. This house is beautiful and the owners and manager are so friendly and helpful. They were attentive to any issues that came up, which were very minor. The house is truly a gem and allowed everyone to gather together and then to retreat to private spaces.

We have been having a family vacation every year for 20+ years. As our family has grown our house needs have grown. We are all coming from different part of Texas and this was a great central location for most. This property was a great size for our family of 19, of which two are a 2 year and 7 month old. This kitchen was well stocked, and we actually never ran out of silverware. It had more small appliances, including a crock pot, blender, convection oven, dual ovens. With the guest house there were 3 full size refrigerators, so there was plenty of room for all our food, and were able to make the one in the laundry room our drink refrigerator. The pool was perfect. Only one of the 2 tvs at the pool was working, but we were able to easily watch our sports teams while enjoying the pool.

We had an amazing time at Whispering Oaks. The house was wonderful and had everything we needed to spend some quality time with family members who came from far and near to celebrate our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding.

We gathered for our family reunion from near and far! The house and property were so welcoming! There was ample space for everyone to relax and renew. We had a wonderful time reminiscing about old days and creating new memories! We hope to gather again in the “Gateway to the Texas Hill Country” and this home would be our first choice! Thank you J & D + J & P!!!

My husband and I stayed here with our wedding party members during our wedding weekend in Driftwood. This property was perfect not only to accommodate our group of 20, but also to hold our welcome reception event for our guests the night before our wedding. When we arrived, Josh was super friendly and gave us a really thorough orientation of the property and all the features around. The house and casita were clean and spacious with a lot of rooms to easily hold a lot of us and hang out, so we were never really on top of each other despite our big group size. It was also nice how secluded the property was and expansive the backyard was. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to use the pool or hot tub, but the whole backyard setup was very cool and beautifully setup.
The event space that was right next to the casita was a nice size and had the perfect bar area setup for us to have a great time on Wednesday night with the additional people we invited over for the welcome event. It was also nice that the garage doors could open to bring some cool air since there was a lot of people in one large room.
Overall, we were very happy with this rental for the 3 nights we stayed there. Definitely a great spot for large groups to hangout and enjoy the charm of the hill country landscape.

Great place for this event. It is secluded and at the same time, close to anything you might need. One star off of cleanliness because a few of the crowd were not happy with the lizard poo scattered about on the flatwork outside. (I tried “It’s the hill country. get over it”. but that didn’t work.). Otherwise, the place was immaculate.

Perfect spot for a get together for 12 friends. Pictures don't do it justice - space was clean and pool was great! Location was close enough to Dripping Springs for easy grocery runs, but then private enough to feel like you were on your own!

Property was just like the pictures, beautiful, clean, with all things we needed, towels, coffee, some toys etc. Josh was very attentive, punctual, helpful. We were there for my nephew's wedding. The mother in-law-suite was just perfect for all the ladies to get ready there. We were able to relax on Sunday and watch the football game in the backyard. We had a wonderful time!

We all loved the place - it was nice, private and generally clean; Dripping is great; and lots of activities are within a stone's throw. We found Josh very responsive. Only issue was that, in spite of discussing over messages at booking that we wanted a working hot tub, the hot tub was barely functional. It heated up a couple of times but after 2+ hours of heating in some cases (which required going out to reset the clock every hour).
Josh was responsive but insisted the lead-time was the issue. By the last day, the hot tub stopped working - Josh came by noticeably peeved that he had to. We reached out yesterday asking for some kind of compensation from the owners and never heard back. We were pleased with our stay but given the season and the premium paid for the pool and hot tub, it was disappointing that no diagnostic was done before we went in to make sure the hot tub was working and more than one communication regarding the situation wasn't followed up with an immediate request for a specialist to come and check the situation out as it exacerbated.
Second, it felt a bit stingy not to have extra toilet paper and some other basic kitchen supplies (although lack of certain items like a fully filled propane tank was disclosed, so this was not a transparency issue) - not costly and goes a long way to add basics. You could have boxes of them in the pantry for restocking after each reservation.
Last, we got locked out at one point after the gate closed before we returned home late at night- I understand this property is a magnet for bachelor/bachelorette parties and the gate may be a crowd control tool in a bind but Josh, who was responsive, didn't immediately share the gate code when we called fairly upset, but then sent it to us over the text. There should be some differentiation based on reservation types around managing risks. We were pretty furious to be stuck outside wondering if we'll have to leave the car out or climb the fence to find a solution.

This property is Absolutely stunning Me and my family enjoyed Celebrating Christmas in this beautiful home. The check in process was great. Josh was a very good host and very easy to reach. The house was fully stocked with everything you can think of. I definitely plan on booking again when the weather changes so we can really enjoy this amazing home.

This property is beautiful! We were there for our daughter’s wedding weekend. . A wonderful experience for our family! We enjoyed the pool and the house was so clean! We would definitely book this property again. Josh was very easy to contact with any questions or concerns. Great location for Dripping Springs wedding venues! Our only complaint-we didn’t have enough time to fully enjoy the house!

This property is beautiful and so peaceful. Our group of 16 enjoyed this property. The house is well stocked and we didn’t have to search or purchase any items except for food. Would definitely recommend this property to others and we plan to visit again.

I cannot say enough good things about Josh!! We booked the house earlier and drove down to make sure it would be exactly what we needed. He was so gracious to let us look around even though another group had just left.
It was PERFECT for our needs!!
So much time spent in the pool. We brought our own pool basketball hoop from home so that gave the guys lots of entertainment.
Also, our guests were impeccable with following the house rules!! By house rules, I mean MINE and those listed. We always try to leave everything as we found it or better. We all appreciated the property and loved our time there.
11/10 recommend!!

Whispering Oaks is an absolute dream! John & Porcha went above and beyond and left no detail unaddressed. The kitchen was stocked with every tool a gourmet chef might need, including higher end appliances and a well stocked coffee bar! The guest house was equally equipped. I can’t wait to stay at this property again!

This property was amazing for our family get together over the weekend. The gatehouse next to the main house was an added bonus!

Very relaxing!
it was a beautiful property & well maintained! We used the main house & the guest cottage; all enjoyed the pool! It was a shame we're in such a drought as I know it's even more beautiful with grass & plants growing! They are in a category "4" water restrictions due to no rain. Delores Steen

Perfect accommodations
We had several individual families that came together for a fun extended weekend. The separation of the bedrooms were perfect for each family after a full day of enjoying the outdoors together. Josh was awesome in going over the property with us and answering any questions we had

Amazing Home!
The pictures online do not adequately showcase this exquisite home! We rented the home for the wedding party and hosted our rehearsal dinner on the back patio. They home, room accommodations, grounds were simply beautiful and filled every need for our weekend. We stayed in April and the pool was a bit cool for this time of year but we enjoyed the hot tub! It is the perfect dream location if you are planning a wedding and want to host a large group. It was a magical experience! The hosts are wonderful to work with and it’s worth paying a little extra to get an early if you have to set up for a dinner or anything. We had a caterer and bartender set up on the back patio and it was lovely! We will definitely consider renting it again during the summer so we can swim. Two days is not long enough to enjoy all that this home has to offer.

Great place to stay!
We stayed here for our wedding which was at another property. My family and friends loved it had plenty of room. My one and only complaint was cold showers. However I was quickly replied to by the host who gave me some tricks, let me know he mentioned that to my husbanded and noted they are making updates to the water heater this summer. The house is wonderful and 100x more beautiful in person. Had a great stay!

Great spot for a large group
We had a wonderful stay at John and Della's property! The house was exactly as pictured and was a great accommodation for our large group of 13 adults. We had plenty of room to spread out and the outdoor space was amazing with two fire pit options and pool/hot tub area. The kitchen had everything we needed in terms of pots/pans, dishes, etc. John and Della's nephew welcomed us and was on hand for any question we had. I highly recommend this house.

Best family wedding weekend
This was a wonderful place for our immediate family to stay for our son’s wedding! He got married at the Arlo which is about 10-15 minutes away and a very easy drive. We had a great time being all together instead of a hotel. Perfect place!

Such a wonderful Get-away
This property is even better than the pictures. The check-in process is amazing as you get a walk through of the house and instructions on how to utilize the various features the properties offers. The serene environment allows for relaxation, laughter, and bonding. There is plenty of room for many to have there own space and many great large group gathering areas. I could NOT have chosen a more perfect place for our office retreat. Will definitely look to book again.

Excellent overall experience
Property is very nice. Lovey ranch setting in Dripping Springs. Felt like a country getaway but still only10 minutes from great grocery store and other retail. Property was sizable and well configured for our large family in town for a wedding. Very clean and well maintained. Kitchen and appliances terrific. Outdoor amenities great (pool, fire pit, porch, grill, TVs). Scenic cows, deer, turkeys outside back window (just outside fenced area). Everyone enjoyed the property and our stay.
One minor repair issue- one of the master bath sinks sprays water when turned on.
