Asante Lodging and Events

Exotic elegance in the Hill Country

What makes it fun

Asante is an exotic cluster of structures incorporating a Texas ranch, East African, and Wild West influences. The setting is tranquil with a striking hill country feel. You can observe native or African wildlife while strolling through one of the gardens or relax at the poolside bar to enjoy drinks overlooking the expansive grounds with some gorgeous views of nature.

From the moment we toured Asante Lodging & Events, we knew it was something special. After touring so many venues this was the only one where I felt immediately at ease upon getting through the gates. We originally hoped to host our wedding here because I loved the idea of having all of our favorite people together in one place for the entire weekend. That’s also how we met Kimberly — and what a gift she turned out to be!

When we realized our wedding date would land in the heat of a Texas summer (with guests coming in from the Midwest), we knew we’d need an indoor option. Kimberly, being the industry expert that she is, recommended another venue less than a mile away (Prospect House), and it turned out to be the perfect solution. Thanks to her, we got to have the best of both worlds: an indoor ceremony just down the road, and a full weekend surrounded by nature, peace, and our closest people.

The property itself is even more stunning in person. The photos don’t do it justice. It's serene, thoughtfully designed, and full of wildlife and quiet magic. Our guests were completely in awe, and it’s still one of the most talked-about parts of our wedding weekend.

Kimberly was kind, responsive, and genuinely supportive throughout the entire process. It felt like she had our backs every step of the way. We truly can’t recommend Asante & Kimberly enough.

Asante is a dream!! Our family and the bridal party stayed on-site, and having everyone together in such a beautiful space made the entire weekend feel so special and connected. It was truly everything we could have hoped for and more. The setting is peaceful and picturesque—ideal for both relaxing and celebrating.
The property is thoughtfully designed, incredibly clean, and filled with charming details. It was absolutely our most favorite experience of the entire weekend.
The team at Asante was professional, kind, and so easy to work with. They went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly.

Can't say enough great things about this property!! Wow! Great location. It was incredible. The house was beautiful and clean with a fully stocked kitchen. The beds were extremely comfortable. We very much enjoyed the expansive property with the animals nearby, the great outdoor spaces and the pool and hot tub. Great for small or large groups or family gatherings. Highly recommend. The property manager, Kimberly was a wealth of knowledge and extremely friendly and accessible if we needed anything. She even left us some treats and waters stocked in the fridge. Love this place. We will definitely be back in the future.

Our son recently got married at Asante Lodging and events. It was a lovely wedding and we are so pleased that he and his bride chose Asante for their wedding. Nestled in the Hill Country it is a beautiful venue on acres of natural landscape with exotic deer roaming in the background. Not only did it serve as venue for their wedding but was home for all the bridal party and parents for the weekend. The main lodge is stunning with soaring ceilings, rock work and beautiful decor. All the other buildings on site have their own unique characteristic and comforts. Having everyone stay on site was a fantastic way for everyone to gather in and around the wedding. With most of the bridal party coming from out of town it was wonderful for all friends and family to be together and visit before and after the wedding.

That the wedding was such a fantastic event was largely due to the Property Manager, Kimberley’s help throughout the planning process and also on site at the wedding. She was involved with both the bride and groom from start to finish helping them organize all aspects of the wedding and weekend. From booking all the lodging, to making sure all catering, beverages and decor were arranged, she made sure everything was organized and ready for wedding day. I had the pleasure of working with her as the wedding got closer for final details on decor and beverages. She was one of the most organized, efficient and creative event planners I have ever worked with. It was a pleasure to have her help from start to finish. Not only is she expert in the wedding orchestration but she knows the property well and can advise as to what might work best at the venue to make your wedding a fantastic event. We had to make a couple of changes the day of because of wind and she orchestrated these changes without any problem. It was as if it was the original plan. She and her staff work very hard to keep the day happy, stress free and a special occasion for the couple and their guests. Staff working the day of the wedding were so helpful, making sure all the guests were well taken care of.

Bride, groom, bridal party, parents and guests all had such a fantastic time. I would not hesitate to recommend Asante Lodging and Events for your wedding or other special party. From start to finish they will make sure it is an event to remember.

The venue is beautiful, but the real selling point is Kimberly! She guided us through everything we needed to do and was so flexible to accommodate all of our wedding wishes. The day of the wedding, she was so on top of everything! Our friends involved in the wedding told us about so many wonderful things she did that we didn’t see (she even made boutonnières when our florist forgot two of them). The day of the wedding ran so smoothly—I didn’t have to worry at all about making sure everything went according to plan.

Asante Lodging & Events was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the start, their communication was excellent - our coordinator Kimberly was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the planning process and ensuring our expectations were clearly set. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, both inside and out, and having the ceremony, reception, and lodging all in one place made the day so seamless and stress-free. Kimberly and the Asante team were highly adaptable and worked with us to customize the space to our liking. We and our guests were blown away by the gorgeous setting and the exceptional service provided by the Asante staff. We are so grateful to have found this wonderful venue for our special day.

Just spent an AMAZING weekend at Asante (lodging and venue) in Dripping Springs, West of Austin. It was my annual girls weekend with my friends from k-12!! Truly one of a kind place to stay and have a get together!! Exotic animals behind fences surrounding the lodging areas, with beautiful and relaxing landscape, pool, and accommodations. 5 Star all the way!! The owner takes personal interest in making sure everything runs smooth for each stay or event.

We could not have had a better weekend stay at Asante! We hosted our wedding party here and there was more than enough room for everyone and we had everything we needed so close! It was great having the pool in the Texas heat and having so many amenities so close to the property. We could not recommend this place more!

I had the opportunity to stay with a group for a retreat at Asante Lodging and Events in the month of July 23rd. What an amazing experience it was! Kimberly was easy to work with, very accommodating to our retreat needs, and communicated all of the details we needed prior to arrival so the check-in/check-out process was seamless. We stayed in the main house (Nyumba) and overflowed into another building (La Aldea). The house had everything we needed and was so clean. The group had such a nice time relaxing by the pristine pool, we had a lovely dinner delivered in, and we had an amazing time playing games in the huge living room. This venue was perfect or our retreat needs and would also be ideal for anyone looking for wedding space, a family gathering, or even a corporate stay. I cannot say enough good things about Asante, Kimberly, and her team. Thank you for the amazing memories!

I just had my wedding at Asante. And I am so happy and grateful that we choose Asante to host our special day! First off the venue is absolutely beautiful. Kimberly is absolutely amazing. She helped everything run so smoothly and she goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need! The cabins are so nice!! I could go on and on. But I would choose Asante every time for a wedding or any kind of special event!!!!

We booked the El Pescador for a weekend getaway and we’re not disappointed. The property was gorgeous and the house was very unique with garage doors that open. The weather was fabulous and we took advantage of allowing the outdoors in! You are centrally located to many breweries, distilleries and other points of interest but we were reluctant to leave the property. You are secluded and watching the wildlife was simply amazing. We will definitely return and will highly recommend to others. We greatly appreciate Kimberly working with us to reschedule our weekend.

I was extremely impressed with Asante for being a beautiful wedding venue with spectacular lodging. I've seen many venues in Austin as a wedding photographer and videographer and there are small touches that go a loooooong way like the chandelier and curtains at the alter, the entire lodge itself is pretty incredible. There are also tons of spots for photos and I loved that. The whole place is very peaceful and the suites were both rustic and luxurious. The staff is very accommodating and you if they treat other vendors well you can imagine how well they treat their guests. Highly recommend for a wedding especially if you need to house friends & family.

Amazing B&B!! We had a wonderful time here. The location is beautiful and the amenities were perfect. We enjoyed relaxing at the pool both in the day and sitting around it at night looking up at all the stars. The breakfast had lots to choose from- all fresh and delicious. We selected one of the tour options and visited a local vineyard, vodka tasting room and brewery. It was nice to do that then come back and sit by the pool. They recommended a chef that prepared an outstanding dinner for us. Everything was incredible. They also have exotic animals that you can sign up for a tour and ride around and see all the animals. Bring your camera- it is stunning!!! They had babies when we went that we got to see that were so cute!!
