Outdoor Living at Its Finest - Group Spa, Fire Gathering, Star Dining
YOUR HILL COUNTRY ESCAPE
No extra guest fees! Same price whether you're 2 or 8 guests.
Welcome to Casa Bradford - 2,600 square feet of comfortable living space crowned by 600 square feet of outdoor paradise. Perched atop 4 private acres with sweeping valley views, this is where your group (up to 8) comes together without being on top of each other.
Our property is professionally insured to protect both you and your belongings during your stay. Accidents happen, but we’ve got your back with built-in travel protection for every stay!
THE DECK: WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS
Let's be honest - you'll spend 90% of your time on our massive covered deck. It's not just outdoor space; it's an outdoor living room with the Texas Hill Country as your backdrop. The motorized louvered roof is the showstopper: open it to count stars, close it for shade or rain protection. At night, set the mood with four different LED color options running the length of the roof - romantic amber, cool blue, crisp white, or festive colors.
The centerpiece? An 8-PERSON HOT TUB positioned to capture both sunrise and sunset over miles of hills. This isn't a cramped 4-person tub where half your group waits their turn - everyone fits comfortably. Commercial-grade jets, pristine maintenance, and those views make this the gathering spot from morning coffee soaks to midnight star sessions.
The propane fire table anchors the dining area - tall enough to eat around, warm enough to extend your evenings outdoors. Multiple seating zones include luxury egg chairs for morning coffee, dining for 8, and lounge seating around the fire. Watch hawks circle the valley by day, count shooting stars by night.
THE VIEWS
180 degrees of unobstructed Texas Hill Country stretching 8+ miles. Three of four bedrooms wake up to these views. The deck faces west for spectacular sunsets. On clear days, you can see multiple ridge lines layered into the distance. The property sits high enough that you're looking over the valleys, not into them.

While the deck is the star, the house delivers comfort:
Master Suite: King bed, private bathroom, quiet retreat 3 Guest Bedrooms: Queen beds with those hill country views 3 Full Bathrooms: No morning traffic jams Living Areas: Open concept with 65" Smart TV (Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc.) Full Kitchen: Everything needed for family meals Ninja Coffee Bar: From espresso-style shots to iced coffee Lightning WiFi: 400+ Mbps - everyone can stream
5 MINUTES TO LAKE TRAVIS Jones Brothers Park puts you on the water in minutes. Boat ramps, swimming areas, and lake fun are literally down the hill. Spend your days on the water, your evenings in the hot tub overlooking the valleys.

Saturday mornings hit the Bell District farmers market, Sunday afternoons sip wine at Flat Creek. Peaceful hilltop setting back at the house when you need escape.
WHY FAMILIES & GROUPS LOVE CASA BRADFORD "Everyone actually fits in the hot tub!" - The most common review. Whether it's three generations gathering, couples traveling together, or friends reuniting, the 8-person capacity means everyone's included. "That deck is unreal" - Where breakfast stretches to noon, afternoon siestas happen in egg chairs, dinner runs past sunset, and the hot tub sessions go until someone finally calls it a night. "We barely went inside" - With the louvered roof providing weather protection and those color-changing lights setting the mood, the outdoor living room becomes your main living space.

About the host
Hosted by Brad Herren
Navy veteran turned cyber security professional who escaped NYC when my landlord wanted $3200 for a 500-square-foot shoebox. Austin has been home since 2010 - longer than anywhere else I've lived as an adult. After 7+ years as a Superhost, I've perfected the art of hosting from wherever work takes me. My local property manager handles anything urgent, and I'm always available by message. I love sharing this Texas Hill Country escape with guests who appreciate the views as much as I do.
Why they chose this property
After living all over, I knew exactly what I wanted: elevation for views, acreage for privacy, but close enough to civilization that grabbing forgotten groceries doesn't ruin your day. This hilltop delivers on all counts. You're on 4 peaceful acres looking over miles of Texas Hill Country, but Lake Travis is 5 minutes down the hill and every store/restaurant imaginable is within 10 minutes. After the density of NYC, having space to breathe while still being connected to everything? Perfect.
What makes this property unique
The 600-square-foot covered deck with that 8-person hot tub and motorized roof that opens to stars or lights up in different colors. But honestly? It's the combination that guests remember - the NYC-mortgage-priced Texas dream with actual space to spread out, views that make you forget your phone exists, and zero pretense. Just a really comfortable house with an incredible outdoor living space where your whole group fits in the hot tub. As one military family put it: 'Finally, a vacation rental that gets what relaxation means.
