Quaint cute home! Comfortable beds and very clean. Nice that there was a traditional coffee pot for my husband and not a K cup. 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, with a great setup. Living area and kitchen are in the middle of home with bed/bath on either side. Nice yard, however, with our visit being in August, we did not get outside to enjoy.We would definitely stay here again:)

The location was ideal and within easy walking distance of downtown. I greatly enjoyed my stay and would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Johnson City.

Perfect location for visiting the wineries on 290. We liked being in Johnson City rather than Fredericksburg. Enjoyed sitting in the back yard in the evening. Inside is updated and had everything we needed. A very enjoyable stay!

Perfect Getaway in Johnson City, TX

We really enjoyed our short stay in Johnson City. This sweet house was perfect for us. It was an easy walk to lots of locations- a local coffee shop, a local breakfast place and a local craft brewery. It was an easy drive to the tasting rooms and local wineries on 290 and to the Lyndon B. Johnson historical sites. This house sits in a terrific location. We made good use of the backyard and the barbecue grill, and the kitchen was appointed with everything we needed and then some. The house was easy to find. We arrived later than expected and in the dark, but the house was very welcoming with lights on - waiting for us. The owners were easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend this property.

Great outdoor soace

The property was super easy to find. The host communicated quickly when we had questions. The outdoor space was well groomed and had comfortable adirondack chairs around a gas fire pit. It was a perfect space for hanging out after a day of wine and shopping.

Wonderful home!

My husband and I were delighted with this charming and well equipped home. We stayed in Johnson City for a family wedding. Glad the house had a hairdryer, iron, microwave etc. Easy walk to a great coffee shop next door. We visited several local wineries which was fun. The host was a great communicator. Highly recommend this very clean and adorable home.

Comfortable

Great place for my wife and 2 teenagers to spend a couple of days. We had everything we needed and host was great and nearby if needed. Beds were comfortable and kitchen well supplied. Rained too much for Cornhole, but I loved seeing the boards and bags there. Covered parking was a big plus. Thank you!

Clean, Attractive, Comfortable Bed, Great Location, Loved It!

Great little house in a fantastic location. Clean, well appointed, and located conveniently. We were pleasantly surprised by the reverse osmosis system in the kitchen. This was a huge bonus for us, as we usually purchase bottled water when we travel, but there was no need this time because the RO water is purer than the bottled water we buy. Also, the bed was very comfortable. So many rentals have cheap mattresses that are not comfortable to sleep on, but Little Dipper has a great one in the master (we did not use the other bedroom). We were able to walk across the street to the coffee shop and food trucks where we had great food for breakfast in the mornings. Our host was proactive and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely return and stay here again. Can’t say enough good things about Little Dipper!

Relaxing Oasis

My friend and I stayed at Little Dipper for 2 nights as a side trip from Austin while visiting my son and his family. We spent the first day checking out some places in Driftwood and the second day in Fredericksburg, Luckenbach, and a winery on the way back to Johnson City. A great base for a hill country getaway. Very private rooms. Each of us had our own “wing” with separate bathrooms. We enjoyed sitting in the backyard on the patio in the evenings. I plan to stay here again when my husband comes with me next time.
