That's no criticism of the pictures--they just can't capture how panoramic the view is. We stayed in the Bella Vista (upstairs) unit, which was beautifully appointed and so comfortable. The units face east, so you can watch the spectacular sunrises from any room. (For the non-Texans who visit, that's also much better on searing summer days.) Although we didn't do any real cooking, the kitchen is fully equipped so you could if you wanted. Despite the quiet and remote feel of the property, Dripping Springs is less than 15 minutes away with several excellent restaurants. (Besides Rolling in Thyme and Dough, we liked Homespun and the Creek Road Cafe. El Rey has good Mexican breakfasts, too.)
There's much to see in the area, but the property is so comfortable and pleasant, you may find yourself sightseeing a lot less and just enjoying the views and peacefulness at the Hilltop Villas a lot more. We'd love to come back again.
