Welcome to the Star House getaway in Dripping Springs, known as The Gateway To The TX Hill Country within the Dark Sky Initiative & Wildlife Status. Your 38 acres boast scenic hilltops with amazing views of rolling ravines & views for miles.

It’s an independent, elegantly appointed & eclectically furnished guest house surrounded by art, nature & gardens. Enjoy our harvested & filtered rainwater we call Cloud Juice! Pick organic vegetables & feed our sweet goats with goat nibbles left for you!

The space
Welcome to The Star House – A Serene Retreat Under the Stars.
Our fully furnished guesthouse offers a spacious and inviting escape, complete with vaulted ceilings, cozy furnishings, and all the comforts of home.

LIVING AREA…
Relax in the open living room, featuring a plush leather sectional sofa and thoughtfully selected décor. Entertainment is at your fingertips with a 50” Smart HDTV offering Netflix, Amazon Prime, and more. A DVD player, a collection of DVDs and CDs, games, puzzles, books, and Bluetooth speakers ensure there’s always something to enjoy.

DOWNSTAIRS BEDROOM…
The downstairs bedroom provides a restful retreat with a queen-size pillowtop mattress, draped in luxurious Comphy™ sheets and linens. A dresser, hanging space, and a mirror complete the room’s eclectic charm. Step outside to your private back porch, where comfortable chairs, bird feeders, and lush landscaping create a peaceful outdoor sanctuary.

UPSTAIRS LOFT BEDROOM…
The loft features another queen pillowtop mattress with Comphy™ sheets and linens, offering an equally cozy space. Please note that seven steep stairs with hand railings lead to the loft—something to consider when booking. While our space is designed for adults seeking relaxation, small children and babies are welcome, though we advise caution on the stairs. For extra comfort, we’re happy to provide a twin cot with linens upon request.

BATHROOM & AMENITIES…
The stylish terrazzo-style bathroom boasts a refreshing shower, large thirsty towels, and pure filtered rainwater—what we lovingly call “Cloud Juice.” All essentials are provided for your convenience.

KITCHEN & DINING…
Our fully stocked kitchen invites you to bring your favorite ingredients and prepare home-cooked meals with ease. You’ll find:
• A Keurig coffee maker with fresh coffee, creamer, and sugar
• Ice, water, and snacks readily available
• A full set of pots, pans, utensils, dishes, glasses, and more
• An outdoor charcoal grill with all necessary utensils for cookouts

NATURE & STARRY SKIES…
Enjoy wooden and concrete floors that lead to front and back porches, where you’ll be greeted by birds, squirrels, and local wildlife in all colors and sizes. As part of the Dark Sky Initiative, our area minimizes artificial light, allowing you to fully appreciate the breathtaking night sky filled with stars and constellations.

LOCATION & ACCESSIBILITY…
The Star House is just 10 minutes from the heart of Dripping Springs and a short 30-minute drive southwest of Austin—yet it feels like a world away. With 350+ five-star reviews, we take pride in offering an unforgettable stay.

✨ The stars will be waiting for you. Come experience Stars Galore! ✨

Guest access
We’re delighted to have you here. Your stay includes full access to the entire Star House, which is open and ready for your arrival.

Our property features a shared entrance and driveway, so you’ll find a gate opener provided for easy access during your visit. Feel free to explore and enjoy the natural beauty around you—whether it’s watching wildlife at the deer feeder, feeding our friendly goats (goat kibble is provided inside), or taking in the breathtaking views on a walk.

And of course, don’t miss out on stargazing—the night skies here are truly spectacular!
