We enjoyed the cabin and it was as described. We were out sightseeing during the day and only at the cabin at night so it met our needs. We had a few times the Wi-Fi in the cabin loss connection to our devices. We try later and everything worked fine.

There are so many good things I can say… clean, quaint, comfortable, cute decor, loved the history, good location, I’m aware of the huge investment made to create this idyllic getaway. Price seemed terribly high for what it was. This wasn’t a luxury resort. It’s barely above glamping. The bread loaves were outstanding. But on the whole On the down side… a very limited continental breakfast was not what i expected for a place that advertised itself as a Bed and BREAKFAST. At least offer some cold hard boiled eggs! There was no protein. Maybe some peanut butter or beef jerky. Small apples and oranges, but a nice touch. Also 4 little tiny bagels. Nothing fresh brought in for the 2nd day. Selection of beverages included some nice things but no tea. Beautiful setting but not enough turn around space. Almost impossible to turn around to avoid backing onto a busy road. We Never met the hosts. When the price is this high rhey need to be extra special.

Just perfect!

Our second stay at the Butler cabin, just perfect for us. The location is right where we want to be, the cabin is well appointed, no detail left out, stocked with provisions and Sherry makes the best breakfast breads! Would always recommend this property.

The cabin was clean, convenient, and comfortable with a great history. I really enjoyed the breakfast bread and other breakfast items provided. It’s located on a busy street, but still pretty quiet. I would stay there again when in Dripping Springs!

I was traveling solo to Dripping Springs for work. This cabin is right on the main strip downtown. Lots of food and drink spots within waling distance. I will definitely stay here again when I head back to Texas. The hosts were great.

Delightful Cabin

This is a little hidden treasure in downtown Dripping Springs historical district. It is next to the actual spring. It has every thing one would need to be comfortable. My husband enjoyed having his morning coffee on the front porch in a rocking chair. I plan to stay there again on my next trip!

Historic lodging near downtown Dripping Springs

Loved our stay in the Butler Cabin. Great location, within walking distance of ‘downtown’ Dripping Springs. Enjoyed reading about the history of the cabin and town. The cabin and furnishings were fresh and clean. We appreciated your hospitality and hope to stay in one of your cabins on our next trip to Dripping Springs.

Nice Anniversary weekend!

We had an amazing time at the Butlers Cabin. It was great place to spend a few nights together. There is a coffe shop and store within walking distance. I love the chairs and swing in the back, very peaceful. I recommend completely.

Birthday weekend in Dripping Springs

What a quaint place to stay! Do not let the outside picture scare you off. Inside was great, the A/C worked great. The bed was comfortable, and the loaf of bread each morning was yummy. Wifi worked and the television was nice. Very close to town and walkingdiatance to restaurants, shops.

Most Excellent

This is a very comfortable cabin with a short walk to the historic district and many shops, coffee shops, and restaurants. The cabin is clean and well stocked with lots of snacks. If you're driving a dully it is best to back into the cabin parking. The gate coming into the driveway is very narrow, and more difficult to back out of them into.

Family visit

The cabin was perfect. The snacks were excellent. The only suggestion we would make is maybe a new mattress. I have terrible arthritis and the bed made my back hurt. Very uncomfortable. We loved the location and will definitely stay again in one of the other houses.

Great for couple or individual

Stayed four days/three nights. Location of cabin on Main Street-walking distance to shops/bars. Cabin had one large room w/bed and sitting area to eat. Kitchen was fully functional -didn’t have an oven but microwave. Owners baked homemade bread (2loaves) for us when we arrived. Dropped off more bread on our third day. Full size bathroom- had soaps/shampoo if needed. Perfect for a couple or individual.

Cute & Cozy

Had a wonderful weekend stay in this quaint little cabin! My husband and I happened to stay on the weekend that Dripping Springs held a Christmas event in their downtown area. The streets were closed off, but we couldn’t have been closer to walk down to the shops and restaurants to enjoy the festivities. The weather could not have been worse that weekend, rainy and cold, but we were warm and comfy in the cabin. It was not drafty at all! Also, just have to add, all the reviews about the homemade bread did not disappoint! The loaves were delicious and much appreciated! Fun place to stay!

Butler Cabin

Weekend trip. Walkable shopping, restaurant, coffee/bakery shop, and lots of bars. Noisy Saturday night, live music somewhere that we could hear until at least 1130. We stayed up watching movie, so not a big deal. Highway is close so you'll be glad to have the white noise machine if you go to bed early. Great location if you're going out at night. Cute cabin with continental breakfast. Loved sitting outside under the oak tree and reading.
