Historic Dripping Springs-Clean, Quiet Designer Cottage Walk To Shops And Dining

Welcome to The Murray House – Your Hill Country Home Away From Home! Professionally cleaned before every stay with fresh linens and towels provided.

Stay in the heart of Dripping Springs' Hays Historic District in a beautifully decorated, professionally maintained Craftsman home. Located on a quiet residential street, The Murray House combines small-town charm with the comforts of home, just minutes from wedding venues, shopping, dining and Hill Country attractions.

A Great Location:
Walk to local favorites like Pig Pen BBQ and Rolling in Thyme & Dough Bakery. Whether you're attending a Hill Country wedding, exploring Dripping Springs or visiting family and friends, you'll appreciate being close to everything while enjoying the peace and privacy of a residential neighborhood.

Room to Relax and Gather:
Comfortably sleeping up to 7 guests, The Murray House offers multiple comfortable seating areas, a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, and inviting front and back porches. Enjoy your morning coffee on the porch, unwind in the private backyard or gather with friends and family after a day exploring the Hill Country.

Traveling with little ones? A porta-crib and high chair are provided.

Thoughtful Extras:
We provide coffee and snacks to help you settle in and feel at home. Whether you're getting ready for the big day, enjoying a weekend getaway or staying a little longer, we've designed The Murray House to be comfortable, convenient and welcoming.

A Little Hill Country Character:
Although we're located within the Dripping Springs city limits, the surrounding area retains its rural charm, with ranches and farms nearby. Occasionally, you may hear a rooster crowing or a cow mooing in the distance. It's all part of the Hill Country experience!

This was a perfect house for our stay in Dripping Springs. It had all of the essentials we needed, and it was so peaceful. The host was great with communication, and the house was very clean. It’s right in the heart of town, and I would love to stay again if we are ever in the area.

Great location in a charming neighborhood in Dripping Springs. A 1-min walk to an awesome bakery / coffee / lunch spot, Thyme and Dough. We were in town for a wedding and found out later the Heritage Festival was going on that weekend. A very close walk to the festival, so that was a bonus. Very clean and well-equipped - the host was very responsive...

The Perfect Home Away From Home

The Murray House worked perfectly for our family and exceeded all expectations. The location and neighborhood can’t be beat. Everything was spotless, beautifully decorated and the layout of the house is great. Steve was so helpful and impressively responsive. This is honestly one of the best places we’ve ever stayed, including luxury hotels. We highly recommend and plan to visit again in the future.

Great property in the heart of Dripping Springs

I stayed at this property for a girl's trip weekend and it was the perfect location to stay in Dripping Springs. It was within walking distance to a local bakery and the main street area and a quick drive to downtown Austin. The property was very clean and spacious with all the amenities we needed. Communication with the host was very easy and there was a binder with clear directions on everything in the house. Would definitely stay here again.
