Great spot for a bachelor party. Some uber drivers had difficulty with finding the property. We had a great time and I would definitely stay here again

Thank you for the great review. Glad the property worked well for your bachelor party and that you had a great time. Sorry some Uber drivers had difficulty finding the house — we appreciate the feedback and will work on clearer directions and signage for future guests. We’d love to host you again on a future visit to Austin.
The only thing that we couldn’t figure out were the lights downstairs- none of the switches worked. Everything else was amazing and so spacious! Excellent for our Bachelorette trip!
Great place to stay. Away from all the hustle and bustle of the city, but yet close to everything

Great space for 2 families to stay. Lots of great seating and enough room at both tables, good kitchen.Place could use some TLC and updating, but the beds/beding were clean and comfortable. More than enough towels and use of washer and dryer.Response from the host was immediate and very pleasant.Location was a little strange but close to everything we needed.

Thank you for staying with us — we’re glad the space worked well for two families and that you found the seating, kitchen, beds/linens, and laundry amenities helpful. I’m sorry the home could use some TLC and that the location felt a bit odd; we’ll review your feedback with our team as we plan updates. We appreciate the note about our quick, pleasant response and would love to host you again.
Great home with plenty of space for our extended family gathering. All essentials provided as noted in description. Would definitely recommend for those needing a large space for family. Also only 20 min from airport and downtown.

Thank you, Ben! We’re so glad the property was a great fit for your group. It’s wonderful to hear it worked out perfectly, and we’d love to welcome you all back again.
This home was everything as listed. Plenty of space for the families and a large gathering area with the dining room and living room. The downstairs area was very nice for the kids to hang out and play. Because of the weather change (summer to fall) the water was a little too cold for the kids to get in. The pool looked very inviting anyway and the large backyard was fun. Hopefully the HWY 290 construction will be completed soon.

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review. We’re glad the home delivered exactly what you needed, from the spacious gathering areas to the downstairs hangout spot for the kids, and that the backyard made the stay enjoyable even with the cooler water. We appreciate your note on the nearby construction and hope it wraps up soon for an even smoother experience next time. We’d love to welcome you back whenever you’re ready to return!
We stayed for a week here while in town for a wedding, and had a 14-person group, plus a 4-year-old. The five bathrooms was a big plus and one of the prime motivators for selecting this property, but we spent more time on the back patio than inside! It was the gathering spot. For a group so large, we never felt like we were bumping into each other. The game room area downstairs was a big hit with the 20 yr olds, and we used the coffee maker more than any other appliance. Eventually several of the party even made it into the pool.The 20-minute drive into Austin goes fast, and access to the airport is very easy, nice for the many trips made for various arrivals/departures. The road construction in the front of the property was not an issue, easy to negotiate and you could not hear the traffic while sitting out back.The driveway handled all of our vehicles easily. The Social Club across the highway is an easy walk for a couple of drinks in the evening, and the taxidermy place next door is a great spot for some interesting conversation...they even gifted us some free sausage.Highly recommend.

Thank you for the great review. Glad the five bathrooms, roomy layout, and back patio worked well for your group. Happy the game room and pool were hits and the coffee maker saw lots of use. Good to hear parking, the short drive to Austin, and easy airport access were convenient, and the road construction didn’t impact your time outside. Sounds like the nearby Social Club and taxidermy spot added some fun. We’d love to host your group again on a future visit.
Thank you, Nate! We're so glad the home was a great fit for your group. Knowing you're already planning to return is the best compliment we could receive—we’ll be happy to welcome you back anytime!
The property was great! Everything was clean, everyone got a bed, everyone had a blast. Thank you for allowing us to use this home and create many new memories!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Disliked: Location
House was great for our group of 13!! Down-rated because the house is much further from downtown than the radius on the listing implies. In addition to that, there is heavy highway construction by the house. What appeared to be a 15 minute drive downtown, ended up being 35 minutes

Overall the stay was OK. It would have been nice if the yard was maintain better. Location was hard to get too the first time there. The pool lights were not working, but the grandkids had a great time!!

Thank you for your feedback, Dave! We're so glad your grandkids had a great time—that’s what it’s all about. We appreciate you pointing out the areas for improvement, especially the yard and pool lighting. We’re currently working with an electrician to resolve the issue with the pole lights, and we’ll make sure the yard receives some extra care as well. We hope to welcome you back for an even smoother stay next time!
We’ve stayed in this area previously. Loved the size of the house and accommodated 12 of us easily. Close proximity to the wedding venue. We made great use of the pool. Loved the lower level entertainment area. All the nephews/nieces played video games all night long. Plenty of bathrooms

We stayed here for a large family gathering. There were plenty of bathrooms and comfortable bedrooms for our group. The kitchen was also nice for accommodating the group. The kids had fun swimming in the pool, and there was a pleasant covered patio to sit on. We had a great time!
