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!

Historic gem
We just stayed at this property for a wedding in the area. We had 4 adult family members. Did not realize the historic significance of this property when booked it. What a step back in time with a place that was instrumental in the founding of Dripping Springs. So cool. The layout of the house is what you would expect from something built in 1855, but it is fully modernized and functional. They do not advertise the grounds enough. The back yard is stunning. Picture worthy. Great hosts and rental process. Highly recommend this place.
