Toro is such a gem and a perfect place to stay for a family reunion with a range of ages. The cousins spent hours playing pickleball and swimming in the heated pool. The creek is idyllic and deer occasionally roam through the backyard. House is stocked with games and the patios are perfect for reading. Jake was responsive and kind.
Great place stay. It was cold and rainy but the house is beautifully built and we had a great time. They thought of literally everything when they built this place.
My group and I had an amazing stay! Jake was an incredible host and answered all my questions I had prior to booking and was also super responsive and helpful throughout our trip. The house was exactly as described - clean, comfortable, and we had zero issues. We wish we could’ve stayed longer because the property had so much to enjoy. The location was perfect and the home had everything we needed (and more). 10/10 experience and we would absolutely stay here again!
Great stay! We were in town for a family reunion. The teens loved the game room. The outside area is perfect for large families and we loved the patio area. Great house.
Beautiful, spacious, and well-appointed property. Easy communication with the host. Our group of 11 women had plenty of space to spread out in the common areas, and we absolutely loved lounging outside whether in the pool, hot tub, fire pit, or patio area.
This property is really special. The neighborhood is one of Austin's finest, and the enormous lot upon which the home is situated is beautiful. Inside, the home is spacious and well appointed. I would not hesitate to book another visit to the Toro Canyon beauty!
Jake's property was immaculate. He was extremely accommodating and communicative. The property was spotless and just like the pictures. Plenty of space for multiple people and the property was quiet, private, and well maintained. Would absolutely choose this property again. Thanks for a great experience!
Amazing property, perfect for large families. Decor & grounds were fabulous. The kids & teens in our group had a blast enjoying all the fun offerings in private backyard & cool billiards space. We will definitely come back!
The property was in great condition and in a good location to downtown. The pool and basketball court were excellent as well. The garage was the best part. Very fun for a big gathering.
Great house! Great host! Everything we needed at our fingertips, comfy beds, and awesome shower in master bath! Outdoor kitchen, ice maker, wine fridge, fire pit, pool, hot tub, you name it. We loved it. Easy Uber or lyft access anywhere.
"Our stay at Toro Canyon in Austin, Texas, was amazing. The property was immaculate, and the host was friendly and attentive to all our needs. We enjoyed the heated and cooled pool, basketball court, in-ground trampoline, and spent many nights around the fire pit making s'mores or enjoying a glass of wine. Although we encountered minor issues with one of the appliances, the host promptly resolved them, ensuring our comfort. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend it for a family getaway. We definitely plan to rent this property again!”
We had friends and family take a trip to Austin for the UT football game and Pearl Jam concert. Ages ran from 2 yrs old to 50+ and everyone had a great time. We never left except to go to our events. There was enough there to keep everyone happy and occupied. I will definitely book there again. The house is even better in person!
This property was perfect for our Mini Family Reunion. Plenty of open space and activities for kids and adults to run and play and private areas for those who had to spend time on Zoom calls or work responsibilities.
The location was perfect for us
This house had everything we needed for our group of 10 adults. Plenty of beds and bathrooms. Fully stocked kitchen, TVs with Directv, speakers, fast Wifi, plenty of towels and robes, soap/shampoo in all the showers, etc. We came during cold weather and were still able to take advantage of the backyard and jacuzzi. The house also had some extra yard games and a ping pong table in the garage. The house would be the best summer rental with all the outdoor sitting areas and chairs! Thanks!
The space was very spacious and modern, and it was big enough space for my friends and I to hangout together. It was also clean and check-in process went smoothly. The hot tub was fun and my friends enjoyed using the basketball court so much that we forgot to try the trampoline! The rainfall shower felt so nice. Unfortunately we were surprised to see lawn mowers and gardeners outside the kitchen window on Sunday during brunch time - they came to tidy and mow the lawn which I have not experienced before when staying at a place that is booked for the whole weekend. One of the beds downstairs was so creaky that the couple staying in that bed decided to get a hotel room somewhere else halfway through. A minor mislabel in the rooms - there's a room with a king bed and another room with a queen bed upstairs (instead of the listed king with queen trundle). I've stayed in many weekend homes, so overall nice but not the best ever.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 February 2022
Hey Winifred,
Thank you so much for the kind words and constructive criticism. I am sorry about the issues you had with your stay.
I will work with the yard crew in the future to fix this issue. Sunday night rentals are rare so this is a new issue. Thanks for mentioning it.
After seeing your review on the bed, I noticed the guest before you broke one of the bed frame slats that went unnoticed before you arrived. It was replaced after your check-out. I apologize for that and will check those often in the future.
I have also looked at our room layout and made sure those are correct.
Thanks again for your feedback.
This place is so beautiful and nicely decorated. We went there with a big group and everyone enjoyed the place. We had everything we need in the house as described and Jake was very helpful.
