About the host
Hosted by Tamara Trager
I'm a semi retired pediatric social worker. I grew up around the states and in Southeast Asia. Went to college in Connecticut, Mexico, on World Campus Afloat and finally years later, with lots of gaps for traveling, graduated at the University of Texas in Austin. After my two sons were successfully launched; one's an elite athlete and fireman and the other a pediatric PA, I began renovating the property as a nature preserve and guest house. I have now successfully hosted over a thousand guests and have expanded my exposure in hopes of enjoying an ever growing community of travelers. I love hosting and focus on making sure your travels are as pleasurably memorable as mine have been.
Why they chose this property
As a child, I always fantasized living in an old wooden home with lots of windows in a picturesque setting; the types often seen in the Grimm's fairy tale pictures. When I was ready to buy, I only looked at one home, one not usually on the market, a home typical of the 30's in Austin but now in a large wooded area just outside the southern city limits. As I walked onto the property my heart knew 'this is a grandmother's home!' and I was sold. Now, I garden endlessly with the goal of attracting birds, butterflies and all the small creatures seeking a haven. After all the traveling, I've found my Grimm Brothers' home and I am eager to share it with others.
What makes this property unique
I enjoy the fireflies and crickets, late night fires on the patio by the pond, enticing birds and humming birds to nest nearby, and, watching the fawns frolic. A moment later, I can spontaneously leave my retreat to join friends in town to enjoy Austin's great fare and Central Texas's wonderful rivers, all within minutes from my home.
