Excellent place to stay! This house is close proximity to Lake Travis and Lake Austin. It is also close to restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery stores. The house was super clean at check in. We had excellent communication with the owners before and during the stay. They gave lots of tips of restaurants, jet ski rental, and paddle boarding rental locations.

Quiet property in a really nice neighborhood. Very conveniently located near lake travis and lake austin. Strong air conditioning. Low hanging trees over the driveway make parking large vehicles and boats on trailers a little challenging but we made it work with a 25ft wake surf boat.

We came to Austin for a family wedding. We were greeted by a personal sign welcoming us to the property as well as some snacks and chilled water. The house was in a very quiet neighborhood with plenty of trees and greenery. The home itself was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed morning coffee on the back deck listening to the many different birds and observing a few curious little lizards. We didn’t have much extra time to explore the surrounding area but would like to come back to check it out! We were only minutes away from reception at UT Golf Club. Recommend Kawa Asian Kitchen for lunch/dinner and Texas Toast Breakfast and Burgers for breakfast. Host is very responsive and easy to work with. Great stay!

We recently made a long distance move and had of the pleasure of an extended stay before closing on a new home. The property checks all the boxes! Great host, clean and comfortable accommodations, great location, and an incredible yard for the dogs. The host is very kind and was incredibly understanding of the fluidity of our situation. Communication was great! The home is very well appointed and was spotless upon our arrival. The home is in a wonderful neighborhood and the people we met could not have been nicer. The yard is huge which was great for a Pyr who loves to run and announce herself. When more exercise was needed, we ventured on to nearby trails winding through the cedar and oak trees.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property!
