We really enjoyed our stay here! The casita had everything we needed and the grounds were amazing. The location was also great, it was close to everything, yet felt remote. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a great weekend!

Great, unique property close to Downtown Austin but in a quiet, secluded pet friendly area. The host did a great job with extra touches like a personalized welcome note and local beverages stocked in the fridge. We were able to visit the Thomas Dambo troll at Pease park and visit the Capitol building with an easy drive to both. Highly recommended this property for a unique stay in a busy city.

This property is beautiful and serene. You’ll feel like you’ve driven an hour out of town but you’re only 15 minutes from downtown. It was like being at summer camp again. If you’re thinking about booking, just do it. You won’t be disappointed. Dogs had a great time as well.

Great views, cool art, super comfortable beds, and secluded, but near what you need. This was such a great stay! Our dogs loved it, and our daughter loved it! We got to enjoy nature by hiking the property, and enjoy some peace. The pool is more like a lake and even has some fish friends, but it was so beautiful and fun, my daughter loved it. The home had all amenities you could ever need! Forgot something? It’s there. Need something? It’s already there. So glad we picked and stayed here.

The casita was great! We loved the design and the artistic elements. The grounds were quiet and beautiful. The pool is like nothing I've ever seen. What an interesting concept. The location was just right for us, a relatively short drive for groceries and restaurants while still secluded. This place is unique!

Casita with wonderful character

Loved the place and the surrounding grounds. Perfect spot to relax and unwind with family. Lots of thought and care have gone into creating an artist setting with interesting touches everywhere.

Quiet getaway

Stayed here with my husband and 2 small dogs. Such a charming property! Be sure to check the parking instructions ahead of time so you know how to access the property. Bed was super comfortable, great working AC to cool off, and very well maintained property. Would definitely stay again and recommend.

Peaceful and Secluded

We were helping our daughter move from one home to another in Austin. This was the perfect place to come home to in the evenings. It is a beautiful, well-equipped place, with lovely outdoor seating areas and lighting, just what we needed after some very long days.

It was exactly what we needed. A beautiful relaxing escape, more than we expected. Finding art works around the grounds became a game for us. I highly recommend this slice of paradise.

This property rules, truly one of the most actually luxurious short term rentals I’ve ever booked. The home has a lot of character, is incredibly comfortable, and nothing about it feels like a flipped property used as passive income. Just really comfortable, airy, and nice. The only disappointment is that the property is shared with another rental; my wife and I were initially very disappointed by this, because we booked the stay while our puppy was in heat, and having actual distance from people/seclusion was a safety concern. Even so, there’s still plenty of space and privacy, and in our 10 day stay, it never came up as an issue. Just feels worth mentioning, because it did feel like a piece of information omitted from the listing that other renters might be interested to know. Worth reiterating, though, that I’m still leaving a 5-star review, would absolutely book again, and feel like this spot was well worth the expense.

Amazing views loved the peaceful vibe with no one in site. Property management is excellent. Amenities included everything we needed and more. Would highly recommend if you want to get away from it all. Thank you for sharing. Carla Rivera

Natural paradise

Clean and well appointed down to makeup towels and spices, the directions are a tad tricky and the road in is a little bumpy but it’s So worth it! Easy and private check in and reasonable check out requests. Comfy beds with good linens and plenty of pillows and towels. Do stop for grocer on your way in that first night as restraints and grocery stores are 15-20 minutes back down a dark windy road. The perfect getaway after a busy day in Austin. The pool is natural and exquisite. .

A breath of fresh air!

David's place made me remember how great the outdoors can be... from the comfort of a cozy patio and relaxing stay! There was plenty of room for me and my friends and we celebrated a very chill Halloween with snacks and spooky movies, all in the privacy of our little home away from home. Thanks again for opening your doors to us, David!
