We had a wonderful stay at this house and will definitely stay here again! The home was clean (and smelled great!), beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully set up with everything we needed (and didn’t know we needed!) to feel comfortable and relaxed.Jill was an excellent host! She was very responsive and attentive without ever being intrusive. Communication was smooth from start to finish, and she went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect!

The house was perfect for us as we were a longer term stay as our house was being updated and remodeled. The house had everything we needed for our stay. The large fenced in backyard for our dog was a great asset to this house and we enjoyed walking her through the neighborhood and trails. The house is built so you can enjoy views of Lake Travis. Jill was a very responsive and thoughtful host!
