8acres of privacy and beauty. Inspiring, Must See. Kayaking!-Sleeps up to 8
This is a very special gated, private 8 acre property that always gets 5 star rental reviews. The pics can't capture how special it is - guests have actually said "Can I just live here?" Our home is sited on a hill overlooking the pasture and the pecan orchard, with a view of tree-lined Berry Creek, leading to the San Gabriel river. Three bedrooms and a large private den with a Crate and Barrel queen sleeper sofa can sleep up to 8 (added fee for guests 7 and 8 - infants free - see rates button). Master bedroom has a queen, one guest room has twin beds, and the other guest room has a double. Sheets are line dried when weather allows for best fragrance and freshness! There are two separate dining areas, a kitchen bar seats 4, two living areas and a recently renovated real cook's kitchen. A huge master bath adjoins the master bedroom and the den, and a 3 piece bath serves the two guest rooms. And we are definitely dog friendly - this a dog Mecca! The outdoor areas are outstanding with beautiful views of the water, and 'room to run' in the pecan orchard. A huge swing by the water is as peaceful as it gets. There are three kayaks for guest's use. An easy, lazy paddle is a real treat. Some guests catch plenty of bass! The water is for kayaking, but not suitable for swimming. BBQ pits and a picnic table are at the water, too. This is a fun place to hang out. Up at the house is a giant natural stone patio with a Santa Maria-styled grill, outdoor fireplace and dining space for ten. A huge fire pit is also there for keeping warm in the winter. The back porch has a daybed and ceiling fans for lazy dozing or reading, and the backyard has a beautiful seating area for enjoying coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. The massive front yard is great for bocce or croquet. The large den is outfitted with a 42" HD flat screen. The cozy living room has a 32' flat screen and a fireplace. This property never, ever disappoints.

About the host
Hosted by Pattie Meyers
Terry and I are a semi-retired couple who owned a printing company in Austin for 33 years. He's a native Minnesotan UT grad hunter/fisherman who dislikes the cold, and I'm a Dallas girl who came to Austin to UT in the 70's and stayed put. We have traveled to many spots around the world and know what it takes to feel comfortable and relaxed in a lodging setting.
Why they chose this property
After living for decades in Austin, raising a family, I was pulling for moving to the country near charming Georgetown. Terry agreed and I began the hunt. I immediately found this little treasure four miles east of Georgetown, and absolutely knew that this was it. And it was. The house is sited at the top of the hill overlooking the pastures and Berry Creek at the San Gabriel for a view that always gets lovely comments. We absolutely love the place and it's features, and know that others love it, too. We entertain a lot! So, we decided to share the love and rent it to others to enjoy, while we stay at another property nearby. After a year of real success with another vacation rental company, we decided to join the VRBO family. We can't wait to get more 100%, 5-star reviews for this wonderful property.
What makes this property unique
The relaxed and unmistakably peaceful vibe you get immediately as you arrive on the property was the deciding factor when we first saw this place. Huge natural stone patio - add the view of the water and the orchard and we were hooked. We feel so lucky to be here.
