Whispering Oaks Estate with Pool/Fire Pit on 10 Acres

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.

Perfect house for our family reunion
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.

Great place for Family Gathering
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.

Perfect Stay for the Perfect Wedding Weekend
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.

Family reunion success
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.

Good private spot for family get-together
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.
