F1 Race Family Trip

This place is great for a large family gathering. Everyone was comfortable and loved having their own bathroom in each bedroom suite. FYI there are two jack and Jill bathroom setups. Very quiet area with wild life in the area. Buda has as a nice quaint downtown. Lodge is about 10 minutes from Starbucks, HEB and Walmart. Kellie was wonderful, met us at the Lodge and went over everything with us.

A wonderful stay, vibe, and experience

Our 4-day weekend was for a company made up of about 25 writers from the US, Canada, and Mexico. Most of us were meeting each other for the first time after months of only Zoom calls. The location fostered a welcoming, warm atmosphere and by the end we had a shared experience we will always remember. Couldn't have chosen a better place. Thank you so much!

Fun weekend getaway

Madelyn's place was perfect for our group of 13. There was more than enough space, bedrooms, bathrooms, seating, etc. for us. The location is peaceful but not too far away from downtown Austin. I recommend staying here if you have a large group.

About the host

Hosted by Madelyn Uresti

My husband and I feel in love with the Buda community twelve years ago. Just one exit outside of Austin, you can go back in time while walking down Main Street with great restaurants, shops, old fashioned drug store and soda fountain. and antique shops. Friday night high school football games are still big, here in Buda!

Why they chose this property

We loved the wildlife, Onion Creek and the beautiful hill country setting.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the Texas sunsets, throw the football, baseball, or play volleyball on the ten acres that surrounding the Lodge. Local wineries are within 7 miles. The Salt Lick restaurant and the San Marcos outlet mall are all within approximately 10-15 minutes away .Austin is approximately 15 minutes away, New Braunfels and San Antonion are about 30-45 minutes away. Fabulous location!
