Our dads are our heroes, and when it comes time to choose a gift for them, especially on the day devoted to them, it can be difficult to find the gift that expresses how much we love and appreciate them and all they do. Can there really ever be a gift good enough for the first man we ever loved, the man in our lives who taught us how to change a tire, to stand up for ourselves in a world that can make it difficult to do so, and who often may have difficulty saying that he loves us but who shows us he does in so many ways? And so, we often just settle. We pick out a funny card, a funny t-shirt, and give him a gift card to the local home improvement store and go on our way, knowing our gifts were inadequate, but not knowing how to change that. We at I Love Dripping Springs, however, want to make this year the year that your dad, or the dad in your life, (our spouses and partners deserve recognition too!) the one that he truly understands what all his hard work, his quiet pride, and his joyful exuberance means to us. This is the year that you give dad the gift of time, travel, and some truly luxurious and relaxing experiences when you gift him a vacation escape to Dripping Springs and a stay in one of our Dripping Springs Father’s Day rentals!

Welcome, Dad!
Dads and moms look at homes differently. Moms tend to see the décor, noticing when the sofa doesn’t match the drapes and trying to make sure all the details are paid attention to, while dads may just want sofas that are comfortable and televisions that are state of the art, and the good news is that I Love Dripping Springs provides both, ensuring that this vacation will be one you never forget. Maybe you are the grown child of your favorite patriarch and are looking to enjoy a family vacation in which your children, your siblings, your nieces and nephews all join together for the getaway of a lifetime. As you might expect, I Love Dripping Springs has the space for the largest of families! Choose a home with a separate guest house, allowing dad to have his own space to retreat to when too much togetherness begins to make him feel fidgety and a large backyard that serves as an oasis of fun and tranquility. These homes, located on large lots that could offer acres of trails to explore, are designed to handle the needs of large groups. They offer the stuff that is important to dad, comfy couches, Smart TVs with screens so large they will feel as if they have courtside seats to the Dallas Mavericks’ game, and maybe even hammocks tied between two trees in the backyard, while also offering luxurious details the entire family will love.
Spacious kitchens with modern appliances, generously sized center islands, and all the small appliances that ensure a good time will be had may not be used for more than storing wines in custom wine chillers, and brewing a pot of coffee every morning, but that’s ok; this gift may be for dad, but you deserve a break as well this Dripping Springs Father’s Day weekend! The living rooms are built to hold large parties, providing sectional sofas or sofa sets, overstuffed chairs that are ideal for curling up in and reading for long stretches of time, and bookshelves and cabinets filled with books, movies, and even a few board games or two, games that can be played at the dining room tables nearby!
Dining rooms serve as multipurpose spaces, providing enough seats for every seat in your traveling party and a place for family gatherings that go beyond the evening meal. Play Monopoly under the light of the chandelier, reminisce about your days as a child when mom, dad, and your siblings were your world, or greet each morning with a cup of coffee and some quiet moments spent in contemplation of the Texas Hill Country landscape visible through oversized windows.
Entertainment Matters
A vacation should always be relaxing and fun, and the entertainment options of our beautiful escapes are plentiful. Some homes may feature fully equipped game rooms with pool tables anchoring the space and gaming consoles that dads of all ages will want to take a shot at. Large yards are bastions of fun and excitement, providing multiple ways to relax in a variety of seating areas. Outdoor cushioned seating will give guests a beautiful spot to relax and enjoy a sunset on that perfect Sunday evening, while dining spaces are where family meals, at least partially prepared on shiny grills that you KNOW dad will have to try out for himself, even as he is supposed to be relaxing! Some properties may offer hammocks for afternoon naps, others may provide outdoor games that can include supersized chess boards with pieces the size of toddlers and bean bag games that may end up becoming your newest obsession. Other properties may provide a place to sit and sip wine purchased from local wineries, hike the trails that may traverse the property, and gather around outdoor firepits telling ghost stories, roasting marshmallows, and listening to dad jokes that will make you groan, even as you laugh hysterically! And because we don’t believe in the phrase “less is more,” many of our holiday havens will also provide crystal clear swimming pools, bubbling hot tubs, and all or some of the amenities we have listed above! These outdoor spaces are created to give your dad and your entire family (some properties may be pet friendly, so be sure to look for that notification on the page if you want your fur baby to come along for the ride!) a place to play, relax, and get together in all the ways you haven’t been able to do since the last nights you spent sleeping under your dad’s roof so many years ago!
Cozy Is Good Too!
If the father you are celebrating is the father of your children, a more intimate escape may be what you are seeking, and of course, I Love Dripping Springs offers smaller spaces that provide all the comforts of home. Comfort, luxury, and an intimate ambience for moms and dads traveling together to reconnect on this most important holiday will give guests a vacation experience that will bring them closer together after long days spent exploring Dripping Springs and the adventures our home town offers. Speaking of adventures, Dripping Springs is located just minutes away from the state capital of Austin, allowing you and your favorite dad to enjoy a big city experience during your small-town getaway! Watch the bats of Congress Avenue Bridge at sunset, see and be seen during a meal at the Capital Grille, and take part in a walking tour of painted murals on many of our Austin buildings, and when your city adventures have reached their natural conclusion, coming home to the comforts and luxuries of our I Love Dripping Springs havens of peace will give you and your favorite traveling partner a soft place to land.
