About this property

Vast Hilltop views! Relax, Lounge, Laze, Dally, Rest

Enjoy your morning coffee and/or breakfast on the 40 ft balcony, watching the sunrise.
The views are amazing and will never be forgotten.

At sunset, walk to the center of the property, sit and watch the sunset with a glass of wine or bubbly in our comfortable Adirondack chairs.

Sitting above 21 acres of undeveloped hill country, you’ll enjoy all the luxuries of modern living in these brand new villas, built in 2016.

Bella Vista has one bedroom and one bathroom and is 810 sq ft. The villa sits between our Home and our Guest Barn, but is not as close as homes in a subdivision. You have absolute privacy but are not completely alone in the woods. This type of vacation is for those who want the most amazing view and privacy but don’t mind sharing the circle driveway, grill and swimming pool.

With three buildings on a private hill, we call this Our Hill Town. We loved visiting some of the beautiful hill towns of Italy and we feel as if we have discovered our own here in Dripping Springs.

We are surrounded by wineries, wedding venues and breweries. You will enjoy a 270 degree view of the hill country! The privacy and views will amaze you.

Bella Vista is on the second floor. It has steps to climb. The master bedroom has a king sized bed and the living room has a sofa sleeper. The tv in the living room has an added blueray/dvd player with various movies to watch. This unit is warm and inviting. A true private get-a-way!

2 TVs in unit. One in the bedroom, one in the living room. Internet with wifi.
Washer and Dryer, Full kitchen and a large Patio/Deck.
All linens provided. Duvet covers on beds are washed after every guest.
Minutes away from Camp Lucy, The Creek Haus, Bell Springs Winery, Hawks Shadow Winery and Texas Hill Country Olive Company.
The driveway is paved and is .8 miles long. Enjoy a daily stroll down and back to the gate, or dare to venture out into the 21 acres of woods. We have a 2.75 mile loop that is perfect for a 50 min. hike

Sit or eat on your private balcony and enjoy the views and wildlife.

Large Swimming pool with loungers are behind the main house. Use at your leisure. The pool is located an easy 72 steps away from the Villa.

Coffee, cream and sugar are included in the villa.

Relaxing, Peaceful, full of Nature

Please note that this is a private Hill Top Residence and we work hard to keep our property quiet and peaceful for all guests. . Please do not give out our gate code and/or invite any additional guests to our property.

Also, guests must be 16 years old or older. There are some exposed areas that may not be safe for children.

Picturesque Getaway!

Our stay at this property (Bella Vista Sunrise Villa) was nothing short of amazing!! We were looking for a tranquil, relaxing escape from work and this was just what the doctor ordered. The home was impeccably clean (pool and shared property areas were also) and beautifully well-appointed – with every convenience we could think of. The full kitchen had everything we could ever need for cooking a meal at home, there were cozy hotel-style bathrobes, and the convenience of having a washer/dryer while on vacation was an enormous bonus (didn't have to come home to a bag of laundry to do!). The check-in process was seamless, and the online listing was very accurate – in fact, the property was even better than described when we saw it in person!! Communication with Cindy, the property owner, was excellent. She was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our entire stay. The location was perfect. It offered a scenic sanctuary far enough away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life to enjoy the sounds of nature and the beautiful night sky and yet a quick and easy (and oh so beautiful...we saw deer galore!) trip to HEB and nearby shops and restaurants. The views of the Texas hill country are truly the BEST we've ever seen. Watching the spectacular sunrises (from bed if you want!) and the breathtaking sunsets made our stay truly magical. Overall, this property provided a picturesque getaway that we would highly recommend. We can't wait to return soon!

Perfect place for a Hill Country getaway!

We loved everything about our stay: the apartment was impeccably clean and had everything we needed. The view from the porch is better than advertised - the sunrise was stunning and the stars were even better. Correspondence with Cindy and her family was excellent - anything we needed they were there almost instantaneously. But the best part was their kindness and enthusiasm to host us - we will be returning just to see them again!

Wedding Getaway

We wanted to have a place that was just big enough for us. This place nails it. The view is amazing. just how quiet it was. We had wonderful weather and were able to leave the sliding door in the bedroom open. But we absolutely loved how free from road noise this place was. We wanted to be close to the venue for the wedding but a way from the wedding party. Waking up and sitting on the deck in the morning is a great way to start off relaxed for the day. The hosts were extremely easy to communicate with. The details given by them on how to get to and access the property was perfect. The host also asked if we wanted to robes. And these robes were great for a cool morning on the deck. Great place for a nice getaway for a couple or perfect for a family event. This property is fantastic.

Perfect place for a weekend getaway!

This is an amazing property! My husband and I loved staying at Bella Vista. It was the perfect place for a quiet weekend getaway. We enjoyed an amazing view of the beautiful hill country from the private balcony and the close proximity to Pedernales State Park and wineries. The accommodations are incredibly comfortable and tastefully decorated. Cindy is a wonderful host who has given a lot of attention to detail that make this property truly deserve 5 stars! We only wish we could have stayed longer!

Relaxation and Gorgeous View

We stayed in the upper unit and the views were breathe taking. Very comfortable bed and it had everything you'll need to relax and cook. Sweet touches with snacks, beverages and a gift 🎁. Far enough from town to simply enjoy the hill country, but close enough to hike in the parks or visit one or two....of the local breweries, distilleries or wineries. We heard great things about the hosts, but unfortunately never met them on our long-weekend stay. Definitely will be back!

Perfect getaway spot!

The property is quiet, clean, and has stunning views from the large back deck! The inside is really well laid out and makes great use of the space. We had everything we needed! The location is a little ways off of 290 but not too far - just the right distance to feel secluded but still within reasonable distance to amenities. Communication from the host was excellent - we were given specific instructions on how to find the house and check ourselves in. Watching the sunrise from the back deck was definitely the highlight. Would absolutely recommend for a nice weekend getaway!

Great place to stay.

On the top of the hill. Seems like it’s really out-of-the-way, but it’s not. Once you get used to the turnoffs it only takes about 5 minutes from the freeway. Everything was super clean the views from the balcony were great you can warch the sun rise and sun set. Quiet and isolated. Cindy was great! Had treats and drinks in frig for us. This really helps before you get to the store. Gift of their honey too! Just be aware…. The stairs are steep for carrying luggage

Private, quiet and SPECTACULAR views!!!

Cindy and Troy were easy to communicate with. Very clear directions to our cabin. WOW! When we we arrived, it looked even better than the photos. We stayed in the upper floor- wonderful balcony. We spent a lot of time enjoying the birds and wildlife right in front of us. Fabulous sunrise views and could watch storms roll in from miles away. Inside was very clean and tidy. A lot of attention to all the details of the little things you may need while using the kitchen. So nicely organized and very thoughtfully put together, including some nice little extras… snacks in the bowl, plenty of Kcups, and a bottle of champagne for our wedding anniversary ❤️ Also, a couple nice gifts as a memento of our Hill Country stay. The pool looked very enticing, but we ran out of time to use it. Thank you so much Cindy and Troy - we would love to stay again. We had a great time taking small day trips each day. So much to do! This a beautiful and relaxing area of Texas. Highly recommend!!!

The view alone would have been enough. But the hosts made sure your experience was memorable. They were very sweet in welcoming us after we arrived. They thought of everything one might need and made it easy to find. You know those little items you forget to pack when you're in a rush? The room was very nice and set up to experience the views, whether you're laying in bed, sitting on the porch or lounging in a leather chair. All their little notes and goodies were a nice surprise too! If you like to hike they cut a path through their property to explore around. We'll be recommending to others as well.

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Payne

Host profile image
We have found the property of our dreams here in Dripping Springs. It's far enough away from the busy city but close enough for a quick run to the grocery store. We love being hosts. It gives us an opportunity to share this amazing view and property with others.

Why they chose this property

Our neighborhood is quiet and serene. When you are here at Our Hill Town, you will feel as if you are a hundred miles away from civilization. However, you will only be 7 miles from the grocery store and even closer than that to local wineries. We love that the neighborhood is quiet and private, yet close to town.

What makes this property unique

When we drove up to the property, the views took our breath away. When you come over the ridge of the driveway, the whole area opens up and you see Our Hill Town and the vast views around.

We love Italy and their hill towns. Now we feel as if we have a hill town of our own.
