About this property

Milk Bath Springs | Pet-Friendly Historic Downtown Cottage

Step back in time at the 1930’s inspired Milk Bath Springs Cottage! This 2 bedroom, 1 bath property sleeps up to 4 guests and a couple four-legged family members (some restrictions apply*). For larger groups, additional accommodations are available next door at the Milk Bath Springs House, offering space for up to 6 guests. Located in the heart of the historic district of downtown Dripping Springs, Milk Bath Springs is the perfect stay for your next Hill Country getaway. Conveniently located with a 5 minute walk to town, guests can enjoy day trips visiting the charming downtown area to notable restaurants and shops on Mercer Street, such as Thyme & Dough! This property is also within short driving distance of most wedding venues, breweries, and other local tourist attractions!

Beautiful stone exterior draws you into Milk Bath Springs Cottage! This cozy home carries that beautiful stone work throughout with a bit of hill country charm. Stepping through the front door, guests are drawn into the living room that fills beautifully with natural light! Comfortable seating surrounds a large flatscreen television for guests to gather around and enjoy their favorite show together! Though quaint, this cottage features a full kitchen, complete with retro, butter yellow appliances, including a full sized refrigerator, cooktop stove, and farmhouse sink! Not to mention the adorable bay windows that allow you to look out onto the front of this adorable property!

Both bedrooms 1 and 2 feature queen beds and stone walls, giving an earthy vibe to ensure relaxing and restful sleep for all! Bedroom 2 also features direct access to the front patio! This covered front patio features an outdoor dining area for guests to enjoy their meal in the beautiful Hill Country weather! Each bedroom is complete with comfortable linens to ensure restful sleep between adventures in Dripping Springs! A full bathroom is located between both bedrooms, which features a unique, butter yellow clawfoot tub that doubles as a shower as well!

Wondering where the name “Milk Bath Springs” comes from? This house is downstream from the original “dripping springs” (which the town is named after) and it flows into our very own historic “Milk Springs” where nearby settlers, in the 1800 and early 1900s would put their dairy items in the ice cold spring to keep them fresh. This spring box is located in a beautiful grotto located at the back of our property. You can see into the grotto from the yard!

Thinking about renting Milk Bath Springs House as well? A side patio features a pergola that sits over an outdoor dining area, where you can enjoy a meal in the wonderful Hill Country weather! Covered patio areas wrap around the sides of the house for guests to sip coffee and take in this beautiful property at Milk Bath Springs!

Want to explore more of Dripping Springs? Shop in the Historic District of Dripping Springs with charming boutiques, vintage stores, and coffee shops. Tour and taste along the winding Hill Country at the many wineries, breweries, and distilleries. Feeling more adventurous? Take a dip in the Hamilton Pool Preserve, one of the area's most beautiful natural landscapes with a 50-foot waterfall cascading over beautiful limestone! Bike along the Pedernales River or horseback ride at Reimers Ranch Park. Spend the day at Dreamland playing mini golf and pickleball, and in the evening you can take in the various art exhibits, live music, and unique food spots! Located just 25 minutes west of Austin and 20 minutes north of Wimberley, Dripping Springs is tucked into the center of the beautiful Hill Country with a lot more to explore!

Cool cottage with the stone walls. Clean and location was quiet. Small fenced yard nice for pet. No back yard light to let pet out in dark. Funny smell comes and goes outside only, not sure what it was. Overall good experience.

Home away from home...

This property is a small 2-bedroom guesthouse situated behind a larger 5-bedroom home (also for rent). It is advertised a a cottage, and comes complete with a fenced-in backyard (pets are welcome) and on-site laundry facility at the rear of the larger home. Vintage bathroom and kitchen appliances gave it a very cozy feel. Very nice accommodations. I will definitely stay here again!!

Great Stay.

Overall we had a great stay. There was a plumbing issue reported prior to our stay that was addressed while we were there. We didn't have any issues with plumbing. Prior reviews mentioned the place wasn't clean but we had no issues with cleanliness. It was very clean. Also we had enough of everything to last our short trip.

Beautiful property for a short stay only!

I stayed here for a full week and it was nice, quaint and peaceful. Although I was amazed that there was absolutely zero cleaning supplies. The overall cleanses of the property was below average. I actually purchased my own cleaning supplies to have a clean, comfortable stay. There’s a Keurig machine, although they provide zero Keurig cups. There’s not even sugar. If you are staying at this property, don’t stay longer than three days. Unfortunately they do not supply you with anything but a bed to sleep in and TV. I would not stay here again, although the management was absolutely a pleasure to work with.

Wedding stay

The house was great, location was awesome. Check in was seamless. The smoke detector started chirping the first night we were there. My son was able to take it down (he did put it back before we left). A broom and dustpan would have been nice to have available. I would stay in this house again and recommend it to family and friends.

Easter weekend getaway

Our stay in the beautiful hill country was relaxing and enjoyable. The property was just as described, and in a beautiful, quiet setting. We brought along our corgi puppy and the fenced in backyard was ideal! The great location was perfect for what we had planned in dripping springs. We would stay here again!

Dripping Springs Cottage

Delightful location! Very convenient to downtown Dripping Springs, but still felt a little isolated. The Cottage was the perfect size for just me and my dogs and was teeming with character. The fenced back yard was convenient, especially with the rain. The only negatives at all were the windows mentioned in previous posts that weren’t covered, and a lot of dust and debris under the beds & sofa. The window to the front door allowed anyone staying at the main house to look straight in to the living room. There were guests at the main house the 2nd night, so I had to cover it with a towel. I would love to return sometime when it’s not raining!

Aesthetically Pleasing House

This property is just as it appears in the photos. It is super cute and a fun place to stay. The location was a little busier than we expected but conveniently located. Dealing with the property manager was not a good experience. First of all- I wanted to cancel one night within the cancellation period but she refused to refund me any money. Second - I asked specifically about a full sized coffee machine - as we were going to have a house full. She told me that one was available but when we arrived there was not one. When I asked her about it - she argued with me and then just stopped responding. There were no Kcups for the Keurig that was provided. Everything was very limited in the house as far as basic necessities- trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels. Just the bare minimum. Very disappointing.

Short stay

We were looking for a short stay in a new town to us. We found dust bunnies and pet hair. There were washer dryer connections but no appliances as advertised. Keurig coffee maker was present but no coffee or condiments that we have gotten used to at rentals such as this. Overall the location is great and quiet and everything did work. Very nice appliances.

Disappointed

The house could have been wonderful. However, the floors had not been swept and the dust and dirt was just awful, including an empty bottle under the bed! There was no washer/dryer as listed. And the cute new stove did not work. I contacted the number we were given and they sent someone over, but he was not an appliance repairman. I asked for him to bring a broom so we could at least sweep, but he didn’t bring one. (There were no cleaning supplies or any way to clean - not even a towel to dry dishes.) On Monday they offered to send a stove repairman, but we didn’t want someone there while we were gone, and we had to leave for meals, so we declined (we were checking out the next morning). My husband is not well and we wanted a restful weekend. We planned to eat breakfast and lunch in, but couldn’t because of the stove. I sent photos and videos showing the stove wouldn’t stay on. No refund was offered but I asked and was offered $50 back (does not even cover the cost of our meals) but we’ve not received it yet. Just such a disappointment overall.
