This romantic cottage is furnished with period antiques and re-purposed wood from the community. Large side porch with rockers that overlook historic corral and ancient oak tree.

The cottage had everything we needed from drinks and snacks to toothpaste. The best place we have stayed at in Dripping Springs. The grounds were beautiful and the location was perfect. We will definitely stay here again. Very comfortable accommodations.

Beautiful little spot in Dripping Springs
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this sweet cottage and will be back if we are in the area. The outdoor space was especially nice. We enjoyed sitting outside on the porch and down in the yard.

We found it to be very clean, well maintained and hospitable. Happy to have chosen Willie Mae’s cottage rather than a hotel chain! Would most certainly return if the opportunity presents itself.

Unable to use booking.
Unfortunately, I messaged the day before we were scheduled to arrive to let the hostess know that we would not be able to use our booking because of the positive Covid test for my husband. We were very disappointed as we were looking forward to the lovely cottage.
