This pristine eye popping 5 bed 4 bath home is a great place for gathering after an adventurous day in Austin, visiting family or as a luxurious staycation. Centrally located and close to everything!
You will immediately know you are someplace special when you drive up to the Heart of Cedar Park - a stately residence of first impression, occupying the entire corner of the pristine family-centric neighborhood "The Ranch at Cedar Park". The 20-foot stained glass entryway and tree lined street welcomes your arrival. This gem marries tasteful elegance, quality, function, fun, and economic sense with something unique and special at every turn - and you can bring your beloved furry family members.
Dark and rich hardwood floors, rustic ranch-style doors and an abundance of interesting and eye-popping colorful art throughout will greet your arrival. An open-concept first-floor design provides an easy flow and practical functionality that encourages your family and friends to ease into relaxation and immediately start enjoying the property with plenty of room to breathe and interact while having some privacy with numerous places to chill both inside and out. It is furnished with higher-end unique pieces, comfortable Italian leather sofas, luxurious linens, plush throws, spa bath amenities and a gorgeous French country kitchen with fully stocked coffee bar, breakfast table, butcherblock island, floating island with seating and tree lined street view dining area. Charmingly designed and eclectically decorated, this easy flow and stylistic home fits even the most gregarious and picky of families and travel groups.
Two separate living rooms with expansive Italian leather seating! Enough toilet paper and towels for your group! Spa quality shampoos, soaps and fun bubble bath! Fully stocked coffee bar with complimentary wine and snacks! Pool toys (in Summer) and Smore kit! A Propane and charcoal BBQ.
Enjoy a family dinner at your handmade, rustic dining table made by a local Austin craftsman, watch a football game on any of the eight flat screen 4K TVs or enjoy the backyard for an evening swim, enjoy a fireside chat with S'mores and stargazing by the firepit. BBQ up a storm and dine outside under the covered, lit pergola, head to the upstairs family room for a movie or board game or simply adjourn to one of the five eclectically themed bedrooms for a rest-filled evening and watch a movie on your 4K flat screen TV (one in every room).
With each bedroom having its own cool vibe, theme and name, every guest will have their own Heart of Cedar Park experience after a long day. You will want to take your time in either of the upstairs two gorgeous, newly-remodeled full bathrooms with river rock flooring, subway tile and soaking tubs. Choosing which bedroom to make your own will be one of the first fun memories made at this home.

Best VRBO Yet
Three generations of our family were there with our best family friends. It was Absolutely wonderful. By far, the best VRBO we have stayed in throughout our many travels. Property was immaculately clean, well stocked, and snacks/treats for us throughout the home. Yard and pool were great, floorplan could not be better. We’ll stay here every time we visit Austin. Thank you, hosts, for a wonderful experience.

grandsons birthday get away
We commonly use a VRBO to get together with family out of town and sometimes in town because we need lots of rooms and especially bathrooms. This was indeed the BEST experience we have ever had in the past 10 years. Not only was the home welcoming, the host prepared so many special welcome gifts including for our pets. A very welcoming coffee bar, bottle of wine and a basket of snacks. That was a first for us!! Silvia was a wonderful host, the house was beautiful, spacious, well supplied and taken care of, cannot say enough!! Thank you and we will definitely use this home again when needed.

Wonderful! Amazing! Spectacular!
This house is amazing, cozy and perfect for hosting a large group. We had a staycation to celebrate my daughter’s 16th birthday and 14th birthday for my son. The pool is wonderful and perfect for this Texas heat. We made s’mores and cooked lots of food in the kitchen. There is a coffee bar and everything you could need. The host even left cute little gifts for my children. Sylvia was attentive and available if needed. We will definitely be coming back next year.

From start to finish an amazing place and communication.
We struggled logging through the door and instant response and follow up to ensure we got in.
Instructions were clear and like i said in the title. Everything you can think of is here. Well worth and honestly the best by far we have been in.
Look no further stay here and we will be back 100%

We were more than satisfied with our stay here! The property was very clean and stocked with everything we could want. The pool and outdoor space, in general, were fantastic on hot steamy days. I especially loved the eclectic style of decorating and the fun 'themed' bedrooms. Of all the VRBO's we've stayed at this one would be at the top!!!

This is the best vacation home we have stayed in. The house is gorgeous. It is very spacious and welcoming. The host did not leave out any detail. It was fully stocked with everything you can think of. The outdoor area was perfect for grilling, swimming, and relaxing. I would not change anything about the place. It is close to everything but away from the inner city. We loved it! Thank you for hosting us for our son’s UT graduation!

Wonderful Place to Stay
This is one of the nicest rentals we have ever stayed in. They thought of everything down to an extension cord on each side of the bed to plug in chargers. Great for a large group. The layout of the kitchen was awesome. The kitchen had every cooking utensil you could imagine to cook meals for a large group. The backyard was a great place to enjoy!! We sat by the fire many times.
We had a frustration that really needs to be addressed. We got locked out of the house and it caused a lot of problems and stress. For some reason the code quit working. Then the call number took a very long time to answer. They reset code and it still did not work. We could never figure it out so they gave us a code to a lock box that had keys.
Couple of suggestions for the owners: The picture of the naked woman upstairs was not appropriate for a family place. One of the coffee cups had someone shooting a bird on the bottom of the cup. We ran out of toilet paper. There were no Kleenex in upstairs bathrooms.
