About the host
Hosted by Katie and Tom Hallberg

This is our home since 2003. We built it, expanded it, and updated it over the years. It is where we raised our three young adult children. It is set up as our home with many personal belongings, more than a stale rental property. Katie was born and raised in Austin. We met in a class at UT. We now split time between this home and our first VRBO house in Breckenridge, CO. We enjoy sharing our space for others to make memories.
Why they chose this property
Bear Creek Oaks is a peaceful rural subdivision just moments away from city life to the north, or small town to the west. A safe neighborhood to walk or ride a bike. Just enough darkness to enjoy the night sky. Five acres provides the gifts of Mother Nature including deer, many varieties of birds, hawks, armadillos, and more. It's a place to unwind.
What makes this property unique
Our home is great for entertaining, inside and out. The kitchen opens into the living room. It is tucked away from the road and is very private behind a gate and trees.
