We came and stayed here for the F1 Austin races and had a great time being pretty close to the races! Quiet area at night, allowed for us getting much needed rest every night without issue.

The house was perfect, everything we needed and more! Tanya and her husband were great, very accommodating and communicative. The scenery and front porch were perfect for watching all our grandkids run and play! The house was completely comfortable and spacious, beautifully furnished and felt like home!
Happy Birthday to our Patriarch!

Beautifully decorated, spacious house with great sunrise and sunset views. Kitchen and bathrooms were well-stocked; beds were comfortable and the Wi-Fi worked beautifully. There's lots of room to spread out and plenty of space so you can have some privacy if you're staying with family or friends. The house is not far from the Austin airport but feels far away from the hustle of the city. Cows, horses, dogs, birds on the property add to the ambience.There's a separate space for events and parties. We didn't take advantage of that, but the location and the set-up seem well-designed and thoughtful. Would definitely recommend!
A nice sunrise view to start the day!
Even some horses to add to the peace!
