About the host

Hosted by Doug Johnson

I am a life-long Texan. I grew up in Beaumont. Moved to Austin in the mid-70's and graduated from UT in 1981. I have two grown children who both grew up in the house and where I still live. I have owned the place for over 30 years. In the summer of 2017, I converted the existing 18' x 24' barn at the back of the property into a guest cabin. It is a perfect addition to my small home for when friends and family come to visit, and where I am now pleased to host traveling guests. I am a retired engineer doing part-time consulting work.

Why they chose this property

This is the sort of place people think of when they say "location, location, location"! It is perfect for couples wanting to enjoy all of what is best about Austin.
