About this property

Clara's house at Homestead B&B

Welcome to the historic Homestead at the Dripping Springs. This house is one of three available lodgings each of the three dwellings are unique to their time period, style and setting. The Butler Cabin and Willie Mae's Cottage are both part of the Homestead at the Dripping Springs and can be reserved at the same time to sleep 8 people.
The property contains the original dripping springs for which the town was named. The Homestead is centrally located in the Historic Mercer Street District of Dripping Springs, close to shops, wedding venues, wine trails, parks and beautiful country roads.

Guests make themselves at home at Clara's House furnished with many antiques and reminders of early Texas. The house is a State Historical Landmark and is on the National Register. Relax on the porch with your coffee or under the shade of the giant oak fenced corral where a swing, table and chairs and washer pitching remind you of days gone by. Steps lead you to the original dripping spring. Two bedrooms are available: the master with 12 foot ceiling, is furnished with a queen sized East Lake bed and dresser; and the smaller, rock walled bedroom with a handcrafted wardrobe contains a queen size antique bed. The spacious bathroom has a tiled tub/shower along with two pedestal sinks.

Includes free continental breakfast, AC, flat screen TV, WIFI, queen-sized bed, hairdryer, and a snack basket, a full kitchen, living room, and dining room. The house contains many antiques, some belonging to the family.

Perfection
It is always a pleasure to stay at my grandmother‘s house that Charlie and Sherry have done such a fabulous job of restoring and maintaining! I always feel that I am going home when I get to stay and it will always be to me Big Mama’s House. We were able to view the eclipse from the front yard. Everything that you could possibly need is there. Dripping Springs has even grown in size and there are many more things to do which I find makes it very enjoyable. We were actually lucky to have the National Guard in town to oversee the celebration. I was able to give several a tour of the house and reminisce about times that I spent there as a kid. I look forward to returning again soon. Thanks again Charlie and Cheri for all that you do to make it always feel like home , I remember all of the great Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners that Big Mama was able to prepare in the kitchen. She could’ve fed half the town at that time. We never thought of it as being too small.

Weekend wedding stay
The property was cute, homey, and perfect for us the ladies to get ready for the wedding, hang out before the wedding. The pumpkin bread delivered for breakfast was delicious! I had an issue with the booking with VRBO and Sherry (owner of Clara’s house) was quick to reach out personally and help get the reservation straightened out. I would definitely stay again.

Charming house in great location
We stayed in this lovely home as we were in Dripping Springs for a wedding. We were. 4 ppl, two couples and we found the home to be comfortable even with just the one bathroom. Bathroom is very spacious with two sinks and mirrors which made getting ready very easy! The history of the house and property is so Interesting and you really feel Like you are stepping back in time to when the area was first settled. High key recommend this property if you are looking for a great place w loads of charm!
