Beautiful views! The Cowhouse is a charming hilltop guesthouse nestled within Barkspin Oaks Ranch, a 61-acre ranch in the picturesque Texas Hill Country. Located approximately 8 miles southwest of Dripping Springs, this cozy retreat offers breathtaking views that stretch for miles. It’s conveniently close to local wineries, distilleries, and wedding venues, including Alexander at Creek Rd, Camp Lucy, and Cricket Hill Ranch. Other scenic hill country towns like Wimberley and Blanco are within a 30-minute drive, while Fredericksburg is easily accessible within an hour. The Cowhouse provides a secluded and private haven for relaxation, complete with a fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. The kitchen seamlessly opens to the living area, featuring recently updated stainless steel appliances. The living room boasts a large window with an eastward view, perfect for enjoying spectacular sunrises. For entertainment, there’s free Wi-Fi, a Smart TV that also receives local network channels and a DVD player stocked with assorted movies. Step outside onto the expansive 12 x 30 ft covered porch, which also faces east. Here, you can savor the breathtaking views throughout the day. The porch is equipped with a gas grill and multiple seating areas, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and outdoor dining. Inside, the bedroom offers a comfortable king-sized bed, a spacious closet, and blackout curtains for restful sleep. The bathroom features a combination tub/shower, toilet, and vanity. Additionally, the laundry room houses a large top-loading washing machine and a sizable dryer. The Cowhouse has a heartwarming backstory: Built in 2008 by the owners, Andi and Jerry, it originally served as their weekend home. Back then, there was no fence to keep out the livestock, and the curious cows would often approach the house. Their grandson affectionately dubbed it the Cowhouse, as he and his sister loved watching the cows up close. The name stuck, capturing the essence of this rustic retreat. Barkspin Oaks Ranch, part of a larger ranch settled by Andi’s grandparents nearly 100 years ago, remains rugged and teems with wildlife. Deer, rabbits, and a family of foxes call it home. Bird feeders attract a variety of avian visitors, and occasionally, a pair of hawks graces the skies. It’s a place where nature and tranquility converge, inviting guests to unwind and connect with the land. The Cowhouse is over 200 feet away from the owners' home and both are on top of a hill inside a 4-acre fenced area. The main house is located where it does not impact the great views seen from the Cowhouse. Outdoor living areas for both homes are separated by trees and there is enough space between them to ensure privacy. The owners and guests will share the private road to the public road but the Cowhouse has a separate parking area. The Cowhouse is 0.3 miles from the public road. Guests will be allowed to walk around the mowed areas of the fenced 4 acres at their own risk. Guests are not allowed outside of this fenced area except when entering or exiting in their vehicle. No Smoking or Vaping. Check-in is 4pm and Check-out is 10am. No Pets are allowed. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils -

This property is the PERFECT place to get away from it all. The house is fully furnished with everything modern, a huge smart tv, wifi access, full stocked kitchen, big refrigerator with ice maker, a laundry room with large size washer and dryer, roomy bathroom, plenty of storage space for long stays and a huge comfortable bed.The wifi has good bandwidth, easily enough to do conference calls or video conferences or any other remote work you may want to do.The real magic is outside. The property overlooks a valley with a large covered porch, bbq. Right out front are a pair of chair swings overlooking the valley. Fantastic way to spend a morning or evening just enjoying the silence.For me I went here to get good sky views to do some telescope astrophotography. This is a great place to see the skies (scope or not) and is far enough away from Austin that you don't see as much light pollution.Overall I highly recommend staying here! ##### Kyle F.

The amenities inside were above and beyond! Very comfortable bed and luxurious linens, great shower, well stocked kitchen and a living area with comfortable seating and Smart TV and WiFi. Outside the views were wonderful, and the huge front porch perfect for bird watching and relaxing. Our hosts were gracious, respectful of our privacy and easy to communicate with. It was a perfect quick getaway and we hope to return soon. ##### Lynn S.

Loved seeing the cows and wildlife. Morning coffee on the porch, with a view, and so quiet was awesome. ##### Jason K.
