It’s like a home away from home

This place is exactly what we were hoping for. It’s a nice open floor plan with comfortable seating options. Only 1 room had two beds, which isn’t always the case when using a bnb listing. The kitchen was large. The patio roomy and well lit.

Family Wedding

The house and view in a secluded neighborhood are beautiful. We had 7 adults and 2 pets; the size of the house and available bedrooms were perfect. The dogs loved roaming the woods and walking along the pond. Evening included use of an outdoor hot tub and a fire in a fire pit. The owner met us at the house to offer information and was extremely hospitable. This is a perfect getaway. The only disappointing thing was that we came for a wedding and didn't have more time on the property.

About the host

Hosted by owner/property manager

Host profile image
I'm a writer/cartoonist/screenwriter. I'm the co-creator/writer of the Over the Hedge comic strip. Also the writer/illustrator of the Odd Squad series for kids. I'm a graduate of UT and have lived in Texas for 35 years. Born in Minneapolis. Lived in Omaha, El Paso, Ft. Leavenworth, Ft. Benning, Waco, Austin, Houston and now Buda. My wife Kim is from Chicago and graduated from Stephens College. She made all the stain glass in the house.

Why they chose this property

This property is a Texas Heritage Ranch owned by my college roommates family. It was subdivided in the 90's. We bought the land and custom built the house after the purchase of the movie rights for Over the Hedge.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful views. Secluded. Private. Lots of wildlife. Pond attracts all sorts of birds. The house has 35 double paned windows that let in the light. Can't see the neighbors. No development to the west due to water restrictions. Many custom features including cheery wood floors, cyprus moldings and ceilings and a custom carved mantlepiece. The railings and are all rough cut cedar. It's a one of a kind property.
