Such a beautiful property, and Steve was a wonderful host! Steve takes a lot of pride in making sure your experience is top notch - clean house, great communication, quick to respond to questions and easy going. The house is close by to some great restaurants and some trails. We had about a 20 minute drive to downtown and spent a day down there. Definitely recommend The Retreat!

We really enjoyed our time at the Retreat! Steve was very responsive and thoughtfully left welcome snacks for us upon arrival. The hot tub was a big hit with our kids, and we spent time every day sitting in the yard enjoying the breeze and nature. The house was clean and well kept, and the neighborhood is in a great quiet location.

The location is good for Bee Cave and Austin with lots of places to eat and shop. The owner left some breakfast options for us, which was nice. There were only 4-5 forks so we had to wash them after every meal. The hot tub water was a little smelly so we only got in it once. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

The property was accurately presented in the description. It is spacious, comfortable, and very clean. The hot tub is in good condition. It has a yard and secure parking. It is in a nice, quiet, neighborhood. There is an excellent, dog-friendly, Italian restaurant nearby (Patrizi's), so you don't have to leave the area for dinner. I will strongly consider booking here for future trips to Austin.
