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! Not to mention the adorable bay windows that allow you to look out onto the front of this adorable property!

Both bedrooms 1 and 2 feature queen beds and stone walls, giving an earthy vibe to ensure relaxing and restful sleep for all! Bedroom 2 also features direct access to the front patio! This covered front patio features an outdoor dining area for guests to enjoy their meal in the beautiful Hill Country weather! Each bedroom is complete with comfortable linens to ensure restful sleep between adventures in Dripping Springs! A full bathroom is located between both bedrooms, which features a unique, butter yellow clawfoot tub that doubles as a shower as well!

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!

Want to explore more of Dripping Springs? Shop in the Historic District of Dripping Springs with charming boutiques, vintage stores, and coffee shops. Tour and taste along the winding Hill Country at the many wineries, breweries, and distilleries. Feeling more adventurous? 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! Located just 25 minutes west of Austin and 20 minutes north of Wimberley, Dripping Springs is tucked into the center of the beautiful Hill Country with a lot more to explore!

Home away from home...

This property is a small 2-bedroom guesthouse situated behind a larger 5-bedroom home (also for rent). It is advertised a a cottage, and comes complete with a fenced-in backyard (pets are welcome) and on-site laundry facility at the rear of the larger home. Vintage bathroom and kitchen appliances gave it a very cozy feel. Very nice accommodations. I will definitely stay here again!!

Cool cottage with the stone walls. Clean and location was quiet. Small fenced yard nice for pet. No back yard light to let pet out in dark. Funny smell comes and goes outside only, not sure what it was. Overall good experience.

Cool place

Beautiful property. Very clean, everything you need for a short or long stay. Only have two small complaints....sooooo dark. Once the sun goes down, it is so dark there. I would highly suggest some solar motion lights. The second is the washer and dryer. There is NOT a washer and dryer in the small guest house...you have to walk through the backyard of the main house and do around the corner and up the stairs to use the washer and dryer. Oh and also....they need to put shades or curtains on all exterior doors.Other than those very small complaints, the place was perfect. The management team is awesome.

Great Stay.

Overall we had a great stay. There was a plumbing issue reported prior to our stay that was addressed while we were there. We didn't have any issues with plumbing. Prior reviews mentioned the place wasn't clean but we had no issues with cleanliness. It was very clean. Also we had enough of everything to last our short trip.

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!
