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!

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!

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!

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.
