About this property

Quiet Retreat - close to town

Charming upstairs apartment with a beautiful deck. There is no elevator in the apartment Views of the hill country and and an accessible backyard that one can relax in. The perfect place to have a classic farmers breakfast. Chickens in the back of the property, provide fresh farm eggs and an occasional morning alarm clock. There are two sections of the backyard. The main fenced in area has a beautiful garden throughout spring, summer, and fall; with a deep saltwater pool and jacuzzi. Oak Trees drape over the yard providing shaded grassy knolls (Perfect for the hot summers). The larger backyard is also fenced in, and has hens and chicks running around. There are short trails in the back of the property, which guests are welcome to stroll around and enjoy. There are also two disc golf baskets back there for those who enjoy the sport, and a bonfire pit that can be used depending on fire-bans and property owner approval.

The Property is 15-20 mins from downtown and about 20-30 mins from the airport.

It is a 15-20 min drive from Lake Travis
It is a 20 min drive to the famous Jester King brewery and my favorite
Treaty Oaks brewery. Outside with lots of room to bring the family and drink beer or mixed drinks, eat barbecue and listen to music.

Owners Forgot About My Reservation

I made my reservation 4 months prior to our stay and made contact with the owners shortly thereafter. As we were about to leave the day our rental started I contacted them again for check-in information and they claimed they had no reservation for me and were out of town on vacation. VRBO comfirmed my reservation. I was forced to cancel my reservation the day of and make last minute (and more expensive) reservations. The unit was also not cleaned, so I could not have used it.

Perfect location

Apartment was very clean and comfortable. Location was perfect for everything we were doing in Austin and also visiting Dripping Springs. Was nice to be in a country setting with deer in the yard everyday but still be in the middle of a big city. Convenient to grocery and restaurants. Will stay again next time we are in town.

Wedding trip

My sister and I were extremely comfortable at this property. I said to her, I’d like to move in and stay-that’s how comfortable it was. On another note-My fault entirely, I left my apple charger-cube and cord in the kitchen. Any chance you can put it in the mail for me? PLs. Email me and I’ll give you my address.
