Peace and quiet

Guests say this home is in a quiet area.
Welcome to Skylight, a tranquil dome-style stay at Wanderin’ Star Farms. This amazing yurt has become the jewel of Dripping Springs' spots to relax and get away with a perfect combination of fun, luxury, and cozy. It's nestled between live oak branches up an elevated deck overlooking a shire-like hill country draw. The private deck has outdoor seating, firepit, and gas grill. The Interior has a comfy queen bed looking out the domed skylight, full bathroom with tub, and Kitchenette.

The space
From the yurt, guests are welcome to venture down into the canyon (lower area of farm around creek) area of the farm and venue, which has a great kids area, pavilion, large fire ring, porch swings, spring fed creek, and great natural areas to explore. Please don't go in the direction of the tall cedar fence or the white barndominium or silver metal shop, and please watch for boundary signs and don't cross any fences or closed gates. Thank you!

Other things to note
The yurt is an actual wood-framed tent, and if you've heard of "glamping" (glamorous camping), that's what this is! While the yurt is a great shelter from the sun and the wind and most effects of the elements, the structure is not air tight and is subject to some fluctuations in temperature (though it has a large mini split a/c and heater to mitigate the temps), wind noise and occasional bugs :). So just so we're all clear, the yurt is a true glamping experience!

The AWESOME parts of staying in a yurt are that you can hear the birds singing first thing in the morning, you can hear the breeze in the tree branches, and you feel like you're cheating nature a little as you awake in your cozy bed hearing the sounds of the hill country and watching the sunlight begin to beam in from the skylight dome!

The yurt has 8 screened windows which can be zipped opened or closed. The top of the yurt is an acrylic dome skylight where most of the light comes in. Cedar french doors frame the entrance. Adirondack chairs out front on the porch.

Coffee bar area has whatever you need for your coffee preference: keurig brewer with included coffee pods, french press brewer, pour over brewer, hand-powered grinder, scale, kettle, and the fixins like cream, sugar, syrup, etc. If you're going to go the "manual" brewing route, BE SURE TO REQUEST COFFEE BEANS FROM US! Organic teas for the non-coffee folks :). R/O filtered water for brewing/drinking/cooking.

Neighborhood highlights

Wanderin' Star Farms is located on Silver Creek Rd, between Dripping Springs and Bee Cave, TX, and has a gated entry. We share the road with Solaro Estate Winery and Prospect House wedding venue. Right around the corner on Fitzhugh to the west is Treaty Oak Distillery with Alice's Restaurant, Abby Jane's bakery and coffee shop, and Barton Springs Mill - all on the same property.

At the corner of RR12 & Fitzhugh there's a little center with Route 12 Filling Station which is awesome for lunch and dinner, and has a splash pad for kids. Next to Route 12 is One Shot Distillery and Dripping Wings food trailer - both great!

Down Fitzhugh to the east a half mile or so is Fitzhugh Brewing and Kitchen - fantastic beers and amazing chef curated menu. Further east on Fitzhugh are Beerburg, Jester King Brewery and Kitchen, and several others. Such a fun area, all places are family friendly!
