We really enjoyed staying at this property! The location is beautiful and we loved seeing wildlife (several deer, including fawns, as well as a fox). We were also very comfortable and had everything we needed for a month-long stay. I would definitely stay here again!
What an absolutely delighful property! We felt like we could have been in Costa Rica at times! The property was perfect for our needs. Comfy beds, great views, nice kitchen, patio overlooking the creek below, a nice little side yard and fire pit, AND pet friendly, really, just a very nice stay with our bikes and pups.we will definitely have to stay here again.
Tranquil getaway near the hustle & bustle of Austin
Highly recommend this property. As a lifelong Austin resident, I had forgotten spots like this still exist west of the river. If you want a peaceful place to unwind while still being in close proximity to the heart of the city, this place has what you want.
