Stayed here with our wedding party

10.0 / 10.0

Lots of room in this house to spread out and enjoy family and friends. The host was amazing to work with and communicated very well. He checked in with us and made sure everything was going well. Very accommodating. If you’re looking for a quiet place to gather and relax: this is the place.

We enjoyed our family time with plenty of sleeping arrangements, beautiful outdoors and kitchen space.

This property is beautiful and very spacious. The weekend was for my daughter's girl's getaway before her wedding. There was plenty of room for 12 of us to gather for eating and playing games. Several areas outside to enjoy as well. We had no shortage of places to sleep and plenty of refrigerator space for food and drinks. We even had the wine tour company pick us up at the house. Perfect location. Close enough to all the conveniences and also feeling secluded and out of the hustle and bustle right outside the neighborhood. We had a great time and will stay again if in the area. All the birds and deer were an added bonus. Thanks Rudy!!

Our family stayed at Rudy's Nest for a family wedding weekend. Great house, spacious, picturesque location, and close to everything in Dripping Springs. The owner was great at communication, access was easy, and the owner very kindly mailed us a dress that we inadvertently left behind, at no cost. Overall, a lovely home in which to spend a few days in Dripping Springs!

We stayed with 8 of our friends to see the total eclipse. The house is very spacious and well equipped. All was as listed. Rudy always communicated very promptly, I highly recommend this rental property for groups of friends or family gatherings.

The entire experience was extraordinary! It was easily booked and communication with the owner was exceptional! He even personally came by to bring us more towels and fill us in on the property and local attractions- very hospitable! The house was very clean with lots of room for our entire family… and 5 beautiful bathrooms were appreciated with all of our teenagers! The grounds provided lots of entertainment.. fishing, lots of room for games, and celebrating each day at night around the firepit! We would all highly recommend this property!! Five stars all around!!

6.0 / 10.0

Convenient location, plenty of room for sleeping 12 of us, nice outdoor area for hanging out, & overall a pleasant stay. However, the VRBO listing specifically says that it has a pool under "pool & spa", which was part of my filter requirements for booking a location. This is NOT TRUE; there is a pond that is not swimmable & a pool table (though I think this is separately listed on VRBO), but this lack was a major disappointment for our group. Some other details that were not as jarring, but need noting: the smoke detector looks like it has been removed upstairs, a door hinge came off when we opened the purple room door, a faucet head is missing from the master bathroom, & a red light/wastewater alarm went off outside at 1am. We would recommend this stay, but the VRBO listing needs to match what actually is present. :)

We rented for our daughter’s wedding weekend and the house was great for hosting my family. All 8 of us fit with room to spare. We had a small bridal brunch and it was the perfect hosting house. Communication with the owner/manager could not have been better.

Plenty of room for all of our family. Loved the backyard and pond area. Beds were comfy, great showers. Perfect for our family while attending a wedding for the weekend.

10.0 / 10.0

We were in town for my nieces wedding and this home had more than enough space to accommodate my group of nine friends and cousins. None of the single people had to share a room or a bathroom, with the exception of the fighter plane room. It was practically perfect! The communication with the host, the check-in process, and departure were all so simple. If you're in town for a wedding weekend or just exploring the countless distilleries, wineries, and breweries in the area, this is a perfect spot!

10.0 / 10.0

Location was perfect. We had several people stay with us and it was never crowded! The outdoor space is a wonderful gathering area. Owners were flexible and responsive! Would stay again

Loved the space for three families to stay of various ages. My neice married a short few miles away and we even had her bridal luncheon which was beautiful on the long table and had plenty of room in the kitchen and dining to host all 20. Loved the balcony and delighted watching the deer randomly. A great place to have the teens enjoy a pool game or watch a movie as cousins. Host was available for anything we needed. House was clean and everything beautiful.

This is a wonderful property. We stayed here with family for a wedding and hosted the rehearsal dinner. Lots of beds and fridge space! Rudy was super nice. We saw deer almost every day and the pond and fire ring were extra fun.

10.0 / 10.0

The property is great. This is our second time to stay there. We had a wonderful time both times! The host was great to work with. Only issue with me was that the fees are a bit high with this one, we had to fork out the refundable deposit and pay for a non-refundable insurance policy. Seemed a bit too much. But regardless, I would definitely recommend this property!

10.0 / 10.0

We had a wonderful family stay for our daughters wedding. Our guest were very impressed and complementary of how nice the house and property was. The house is very roomy and we never felt crowded. The host is very responsive and super accommodating. They even stopped by with a load of firewood for the backyard fire pit which we enjoyed sitting around while we visited with our family. Thank you Rudy for making a special weekend even more special!!!

We went for a short hike but spent the entire remainder of the 4 day stay at the house. The fishing pond was a big hit! 17 of us, ages 2 to 71, were comfortable.

Rudy’s Nest was an excellent choice for my milestone birthday weekend. The house is well appointed and the large washers & dryers were a huge plus. The grandkids loved the bunk beds and the Children’s books. The pool table was well used and brought hours of entertainment. I personally loved the property and wildlife, outdoor seating is plentiful. This property has something for every age group. Easy access to the property manager was appreciated. My family will return to this nature getaway.

We love Rudy’s Place!!!

We love Rudy’s Place!!!

We had an all around fantastic experience at this property. We were a family of 6 adults and 6 children in town for a wedding at a nearby venue. We opted to stay in this large home so we could maximize our time together. There was SO MUCH SPACE. The property size was more than enough for all of us plus the other family that stopped by for dinners and socialization. It is such a spacious set up with huge common areas on both floors and expansive outdoor space. In fact, other family that opted to stay in a local hotel because they weren’t house rental people were super jealous when they showed up at our house and realized what they had missed out on! We loved the bunk bed room for the little kids and also the two connecting bedrooms for a set of parents/children that were able to stay in a common suite. Everything was so clean and organized. Kitchen was fully stocked and there were more than enough cooking supplies for making and serving meals during the day including lots of mugs and bowls and utensils. Rudy was such an excellent communicator as we had lots of questions. Kids enjoyed exploring the property including visiting with the horses and chickens! We have a lifetime of memories from this incredibly special trip in large part due to this space. I am happy I listened to all the glowing reviews because they were all true, and beyond! Thank you Rudy!!!!

We came in for my daughter's wedding, we were able to have nice dinner for all of the out of town family and the home was absoulutly perfect. Each Bedroom has an attached bathroom which was very nice. The pictures on their isting were current and accurate. Infact they don't do justice the the quality of the home. It was well stocked and clean. You can count on the listing information. I can't say enough good things about out experience, I would stay there in a heartbeat!

Great location, small issues.

The location was serene and ideal for a family Ghristmas gathering, Texas style. The only item missing was a Christmas tree which was negotiated prior to arrival. Balancing the temp across the upstairs bedrooms was a little challenging. We checked out on 26Dec and yet to receive return of Security Deposit as of 07Jan. while place returned in a very high standard.

We were in town for a family wedding. The house was perfect for our big group- it had everything we needed with lots of beds and bathrooms. The bedrooms were spaced nicely so we didn't feel crowded.

This house is amazing. The whole wedding party stayed here and everyone loved it. Rudy has such clever decor inside and the grounds are so welcoming. We did the fire pit both nights of our two night stay, which was so relaxing after a wedding ceremony at Chapel Dulcinea. Small wedding, great home= a great weekend. Thank you Rudy for allowing us to stay at your hip, funky Hill country get away.
