Very cool spot hidden away
We found this spot when we came to Austin to celebrate my daughter’s 30th. We used this place to convene the family. It was perfect - we sat on the beautiful deck, watched 5 deer, made a great dinner. The beds are comfortable, plenty of group and individual space. Awesome location -

perfect house & neighborhood
Train Depot farmhouse was super nice with pleasant surprise that it was even better than online picturesThe house was very clean and had all the extras needed to enjoy home away from home. The beds were great! Nice large yard with opportunities to see interesting birds, deer and other wildlife. The neighbor houses are quite far away adding to the tranquil private setting. And the neighborhood local streets made for relaxing, quiet walks.Finally the host Melisa was very responsive for our few minor questions. A bonus was the 1980s arcade game for little trip down memory lane

Great stay
We had a great stay at this property. The location was nice and quiet and the neighborhood was great for walking. Really enjoyed seeing the deer and the Hawks. Lots of places to eat within a short distance. One of our beds was broken as was one of our toilet seats. Other than that, all was well.
