Hilltop Hideaway, at Wanderin’ Star Farms

Welcome to Hilltop Hideaway, a charming hill-country escape at Wanderin’ Star Farms. Just west of Austin in Dripping Springs, this farmhouse-modern cabin is perched on a hill at Wanderin` Star Farms looking out toward lots of local landscape and light! The cabin has a large porch with an oversized farm table, fiber internet, work table, roku tv, and a righteous coffee setup with options ranging from fast and easy to slow and nerdy :). Take a walk on the beautiful 33 acres, visit some animals, sit in a swing, or explore many of the very near and fun eateries and drinkeries!

This surprisingly spacious tiny cabin (and its two sibling cabins) sit on top of a small hill and face outward with views of a creek-wrought `canyon` area. Tons of big windows flood the space with natural light. Awesome kitchen with farm sink and cooktop island with bar seating for 5 awaits your culinary chops! The walls and 14 foot ceiling are sanded and waxed birch plywood, and the bedroom and loft are painted shiplap. The spacious porch has great views of the area as well as a large farm table for gatherings, and a Weber propane grill.

The coffee bar consists of a Keurig brewer with coffee pods and `fixins` for quick coffee, as well as an assortment of slower brewing devices for the nerdier coffee enthusiast!: A french press brewer, chemex brewer with filters, scale, manual grinder, electric grinder, gooseneck kettle, and locally roasted coffee (local roaster’s choice) are all available **BUT YOU MUST LET US KNOW YOU`D LIKE COFFEE BEANS** in the cabin or else we`ll assume you`re going with the Keurig pods. We`ll supply one bag of beans and have additional coffee available for purchase. We also supply a tea kettle and a small assortment of organic hot teas, plus filtered water for all of these!

** No early check-ins allowed for the foreseeable future. PLEASE DO NOT ARRIVE EARLY. Our team needs all the time we can get between stays to clean and prepare the space. **

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!

Walking or biking on the roads beyond our little Silver Creek Rd can be tedious and dangerous, so we discourage it because the roads are very narrow and winding. We have the contact information for several local Uber/Lyft drivers with whom you can to pre-schedule rides, happy to pass on their contact!
