The Woolly Bugger Inn

Dripping Springs is now part of the 'Field Guide' collection of airbnb type accomodations. We liked the room just fine, we rented out the Lodgepole suite which I do recommend as it was on the end of the suites, with the firepit right next to it and a hot tub with a river view. It was nicely decorated and cozy, and the hot tub was super nice to soak in after a long day of hiking. There were a ton of pillows on the bed so it was very comfy and the bedding was nice. I also thought the rations room was a great touch - there were some snacks, lots of goodies for your dogs, hiking guides, board games, etc. The walls are thin and the decks are set close together so we honestly could hear every word our neighbors spoke (and I'm sure they did us). It's also pet friendly so we heard some dogs barking as well. So it's not the absolute best regarding privacy. Our room was clean but you are expected to strip the whole bed and take out the trash. My husband was very annoyed because upon checking out, he discovered that there was a broken prong in the outlet by his side of the bed which was a fire and safety risk. It definitely seems like a place where you're kind of left on your own - we didn't see a host or any staff the two days we were there. Which really was fine with us but I would just be aware in case you're expecting a ton of amentities or help. The shower is also very small but it was mentioned in the listing so it also wasn't really a bother. Wifi worked fine but I had close to zero cell service. Overall, it was cute and we enjoyed our stay. We were in the park the majority of the time so we didn't spend a ton of time in our room. It's 10 minutes from downtown Estes and it took around 20 minutes to get to the park entrances. It was a good value for the money, especially with a hot tub room.
