Family-friendly vacation rentals in Hays County

Steven's place is perfect. Honestly, the pictures don't do it justice. The house is tucked away on a quiet tree-lined street, and you feel like you're in your own private sanctuary. And yet, it's only a few minutes walk to some great restaurants and coffee shops. The house itself is spacious, well-designed, and stocked with high-quality products and amenities. My friends and I are cold plunge converts after our stay here! If you're on the fence about this rental, don't be, just book it!

This place is an absolute gem. Wacky and fun, it’s a house with unique charm and character, something that is increasingly rare to find on Air BnB. The bedrooms are a little unconventionally arranged so if privacy for every single bed is your main concern, perhaps it’s not for you. Otherwise you’ll fall in love with this one-of-a-kind place like we did. There were 8 of us staying for SXSW and we really felt like we had a home base. Brian was attentive, flexible and helpful throughout our stay. The neighbourhood is ideal, and walkable. In a world of grey floored rentals and bland, heartless renovations, this spacious home is a whimsical breath of fresh air. We wouldn’t have changed a thing.

Friendly and thoughtful host, great location (walkable, safe, central). My family all enjoyed their stay, the house felt very comfortable and clean and we were well provided for.

It’s far and very private! We loved the drive to the home , Dee was very helpful and accommodating . We enjoyed our stay a lot, the pool and patio was everyone’s favorite.

George was extremely responsive and helpful. The house was perfect for our group meeting up to come to a wedding. it's a great space for hanging out!

We had a wonderful time at Ramsay’s Cottage! The property was beautiful. We enjoyed the fire pit, hot tub, and short walk to the private park. The house was comfy and had everything we needed. It really felt like the hosts thought of everything - we had everything we could have needed. The cookies from Charles were icing on the cake to a perfect weekend! We would love to stay here again.

The stay was amazing! We spotted deer every morning we were there. The host was very accommodating and communicated quickly throughout our stay. Thank you for an amazing trip.

Jessica was very responsive and quickly answered any questions that I had. The property is well located and the beds were comfortable

We felt right at home! The house is in a great location and neighborhood is nice and quiet. Would highly recommend staying here.

Our stay at this Airbnb during our daughter's graduation at the University of Austin was absolutely fantastic. The home was not only comfortable but also conveniently located, allowing us to easily navigate the city and attend all the graduation events without any hassle. What truly set this Airbnb apart, however, was the exceptional hospitality of the host. She made sure we had everything we needed for a memorable stay and gave some great suggestions on places to eat. But what truly blew us away was her responsiveness to our request to look for our forgotten sunglasses. She found out sunglasses and promptly shipped them to us. It's these little gestures of thoughtfulness that truly make a difference and leave a lasting impression. Overall, our experience at this Airbnb was nothing short of amazing. Comfortable accommodations, a great location, and a host who goes above and beyond to make her guests feel at home.

Perfect location for our stay in Austin! Hands down one of the best experiences I have had booking a house on Airbnb. The house was clean, quite, and comfortable! Larry is very thoughtful and answered all of my questions before I thought to ask. His attention to detail, communication, and hospitality were all top notch. Flexible check-in and check-out. Just an overall good experience. Top of my list for the next trip to Austin.

This was a great place and location! Also, they communicated very well. Very easy check in and out. Definitely will look to stay here next time we are in Austin!

Beautiful private house, super modern and great WiFi. Fit my friends and I comfortably and created a good environment. It was walkable to the downtown area and was very close to a nice trail that goes under Congress Bridge, which made it great to run or walk in the mornings for some sight seeing and boating. The host was great and always responded fast!

awesome space! would love to come back again with a few friends and stay longer!

Love staying in campfire circle and Donna’s place was no exception. It was perfect for our crew, had stunning views, lots of deer, and each room was cutely decorated for Christmas. The house is FULLY stocked with anything you may need, which is much appreciated. This is how Airbnb used to be before all the good properties were snatched up by corporations. Classic, family owned home with all the charm and attention to detail.

This place is fabulous if you would like a get away retreat. We spent loads of time on the deck, enjoying the trees. This is the most well stocked Airbnb we've ever stayed in. We absolutely recommend it. The location was absolutely beautiful and driving to grab dinner was no problem at all. it's a quick drive to either Terry Black's (the beef ribs are out of this world good) or Green Mesquite. if you're looking for a place that is right in the heart of downtown, this is not it. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat, you couldn't do much better. 👍

Carolyn was the “hostess with the mostess!” Her place was kitschy- cool. You feel like you are in a museum and every corner and square inch is covered with interesting artifacts, like being on a treasure hunt finding new and interesting things at everyturn. There was wonderful amenities inside and out, and the living room was comfortable and cozy. I brought my friend that had never been in an Airbnb and she said that it was a great experience and certainly something that she would never get at your average hotel or motel. Everything was clean and cozy and just so much fun!

We enjoyed our stay very much. When we checked in the kitchen/trash cans were not very clean. Lynn and Jerry were unaware of the cleaning conditions due to the quick turnaround from the previous guest. When we informed them, Jerry immediately came over and cleaned everything himself. The hosts were incredibly friendly, understanding, and accommodating. The house looks even better than the photos, and the outdoor areas are more than perfect!

We had an amazing time at the cabin! It was way better than what we expected and much bigger than I thought. John and Sherri were amazing hosts and we would definitely come back and recommend it!

Beautiful space and kid friendly as well.

Our family of six stayed here for our trip, and had plenty of room in the house. It had everything we needed, and was very clean. We enjoyed the beautiful house and view, and it looks even better in person! Just plan in advance for your meals, as there are not a ton of options nearby. The hosts quickly responded and accommodated any requests! We definitely recommend staying here!

This is the absolute best sanctuary/vacation home to stay in. The best scenery, close to wildlife (had a deer let me pet it), the coolest little family vibe, and just all around amazing. I will choose this place every single time I come and visit Dripping Springs.

Great time spent at Doug’s tiny home! I highly recommend this place! Loved the nature and vibe overall! Lots of things to do to have fun!

Extremely solid place / host / hot tub. It was just what my group needed and it was truly a huge part of why our Austin stay was a success. Would enthusiastically recommend for anyone!
