About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Small Town, Big House in Taylor TX

Enjoy plenty of elbow room in our generously sized ranch-style house, nestled in a peaceful neighborhood close to all Taylor has to offer. You'll be minutes from Williamson County Expo Center, Kalahari, Dell Diamond, key points on the Texas BBQ Trail, and other attractions. There's easy highway access to Circuit of the Americas, Georgetown, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, and many parts of Austin. We've hosted many work crews and can offer the property on a week-to-week basis, so just ask!

Once owned by mid-century country swing musician Jimmy Heap, a Taylor native, this freshly renovated home features a jumbo master bedroom with a comfy king bed, an en-suite bath with jetted tub and shower, and a sunny nook that's great for morning stretches, reading, or catching up on email.

Two more bedrooms, each with queen beds, share a large double-sink bath. Jimmy's old recording studio, where he jammed with his band The Melody Masters, makes a great dedicated office space, or can sleep more people on its full-sized bed. Additional air mattresses are available if needed.

Self-check-in lets you arrive at your convenience. You'll find plenty of free, off-street parking in the driveway and two-car garage, along with 50-amp RV power, and a fully fenced, shady backyard with a large deck. Feel free to use the washer, dryer, and fully equipped kitchen.

Enjoy speedy AT&T Fiber Wi-Fi, watch local channels or your favorite streaming services on our four Roku TVs, or transport back to the '80s with our head-to-head arcade game - Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig Dug, and more!

Our personal touch is what sets our rentals apart. Our all-local team creates places we'd be happy to stay in ourselves. There's no substitute for a top-rated, nearby host to ensure quality, promptly answer questions, and help with area advice and recommendations.

You'll have access to the whole home, except for a couple closets where we keep supplies.

No large gatherings or excessive noise. No inside smoking or vaping. No pets.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 3 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. The bathroom offers hair dryers and free toiletries. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

I loved the space and the number of refrigerators. It really needed showers outside of the bedrooms and more insrtucyions of the quirky appliances.

Weekend stay

Communication was excellent, property was clean and as described in listing. The one complaint we had were the numerous constantly barking dogs at all hours. Not much the owners can do about that, but it was enough that it was not pleasant conducive to relaxing.

Wonderful spacious home in Taylor

From the beginning the host was very responsive and friendly. We had 2 tiny issues out of his control and he remedied them immediately. The house and patio are so spacious and very well equipped. I would recommend it to anyone with a family or friends who need lots of room. Taylor is a funky but fun little town and house was easily accessible to everything.

Great experience

We had a great stay here. Check in was super easy and the owners were supper responsive to any needs we had. The house is located in a quiet nice neighborhood. It is close enough to major shopping areas you can be there in about 30 minutes but far enough away that you don’t have to deal with large crowds and traffic. The back yard is shaded with a large deck to relax on. The inside of the house is a lot more spacious than the pictures portray and provide enough room for everyone to do what they want. Overall we had a great experience here and would stay again.
