This cottage is such a gem. Its location close to restaurants was wonderful to us after a long day of driving. The hosts left some loaves of amazing bread and other goodies for us to snack on in the morning. When we are back in the Dripping Springs area, this will be our home away from home again. This is just a warm, welcoming and comfortable place to stay.

Located next to the actual “dripping spring”… this quaint cottage transports you back to the 1880s… but with all the comforts of the 2020s. Our stay was awesome! Walk to a brewery. Drive to a distillery, winery, hiking, Hamilton pool, shopping, etc. The cottage is clean, comfortable, and centrally located. Enjoy!

Clara's House at THE Dripping Spring

A friend and I stayed at Clara's House while we were in town for a wedding. We absolutely loved the charm of the house and getting to explore the actual dripping spring the town is named after. Will definitely be staying here next time I'm in town!
