The host was great. Easy to get a hold of and timely with his responses. The house was really cute, well stocked, decorated and the location was very convenient. We will be back there again the next time we are in the area. Don't miss your chance to stay here if you are in the area.

Our second time staying here and we love it. Nicely decorated, excellent location. Easy and short walk to a great coffee shop and food truck area in the mornings. Love the reverse osmosis system in the kitchen for perfect pure drinking water, and the memory foam mattress is very comfortable to sleep on. We will be back again for sure.

This is a charming property that is very thoughtfully appointed. We enjoyed sitting out in the backyard by the firepit and playing some Cornhole. We took a lovely stroll to the nearby town center and browsed the variety of cute shops. Because we stayed over Thanksgiving the town center was beautifully decorated with Christmas lights in the evening. The host was wonderful, always quick to respond to any question. I would definitely stay again.

We stayed in the Little Dipper for one night while attending a wedding close by. Joe was very easy to communicate with and always provided answers to my questions promptly! The house was easy to check in, extremely clean and quite charming! The coffee provided was a thoughtful touch and we enjoyed sipping it in the large back yard in comfortable seating Sunday morning. All the beds were comfy and the a/c worked perfectly on a relatively warm October night. Thanks Joe, we would be happy to return as well as recommend Little Dipper to our friends!

Quaint cute home! Comfortable beds and very clean. Nice that there was a traditional coffee pot for my husband and not a K cup. 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, with a great setup. Living area and kitchen are in the middle of home with bed/bath on either side. Nice yard, however, with our visit being in August, we did not get outside to enjoy.We would definitely stay here again:)

Perfect location for visiting the wineries on 290. We liked being in Johnson City rather than Fredericksburg. Enjoyed sitting in the back yard in the evening. Inside is updated and had everything we needed. A very enjoyable stay!

Perfect Getaway in Johnson City, TX

We really enjoyed our short stay in Johnson City. This sweet house was perfect for us. It was an easy walk to lots of locations- a local coffee shop, a local breakfast place and a local craft brewery. It was an easy drive to the tasting rooms and local wineries on 290 and to the Lyndon B. Johnson historical sites. This house sits in a terrific location. We made good use of the backyard and the barbecue grill, and the kitchen was appointed with everything we needed and then some. The house was easy to find. We arrived later than expected and in the dark, but the house was very welcoming with lights on - waiting for us. The owners were easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend this property.
