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!

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.
