About this property

Hilltop Haven Retreat in Texas Hill Country. Kid/Pet friendly. Pool & Firepit

Experience The Hills like a local in this 2 bedroom private guest-house with study. This wonderful property offers a cozy (yet expansive) and enjoyable stay for guests. The Hills is the perfect destination for a relaxing getaway, and we're happy to assist with any questions while you stay at our Hilltop Haven Retreat. Located within 30 minutes of downtown Austin, 10 minutes from Lake Travis - enjoy a private and tranquil oasis nestled within the Hills Golf Club - home of the Jack Nicklaus-designed Hills Golf Course.

The bedroom features a comfortable king bed and the study has a convenient murphy bed, desk and everything you need to work if needed.
You'll find everything you need with fully stocked kitchen, washer and dryer - just like your own home (or fine hotel!) It features an en-suite bathroom with a two-sink vanity, large walk-in shower, and large walk in closet so that getting ready in the morning is a breeze.

The Pool House is a covered structure that boasts a TV, LED fireplace, seating for eight, and an outdoor kitchen. Enjoy the national staple that is Texas BBQ on the restaurant grade BBQ grill, grab a cold one from the mini-fridge, and watch the game, play a game, or just relax.

Want to have a glass of wine or a sip of the whiskey you bought checking out Hill Country's Whiskey Trail? Do it around the pool (or firepit) with plenty of seating - pub tables, adirondack chairs, andirondack rockers, padded chaise lounges, and the ambiance of integrated LED lighting throughout the pool area.

The pool boasts a baja shelf and in-pool adirondack chairs so you can sit and put your feet in the water and soak in the sun, or enjoy the shade underneath the several umbrellas. Shallow or deep end - bench sitting exists around the pool, so you can sit or swim, or swim and sit. Too cold? warm up in the heated spa. Otherwise, float. Floating is best.

Time to go to out for the evening and you've spent the entire day in the pool? Rinse off in the outdoor shower (with hot and cold water!), change in the outdoor-accessible half-bath with AC.

Firepit? Four rockers allow you to just relax and watch the dancing flames as dusk settles on Texas Hill Country and bring an end to your exciting (or lazy) day, and turn in for a night in luxury with a king size bed, and light blocking shades.

Inside - all the amenities you expect from a fine hotel exist: Free wi-fi, a fully-functional and stocked kitchen for cooking or baking, an amazing concierge service (us - to the degree we can help as hosts familiar with the area).

Your vacation home awaits.


Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a washing machine, and 1.5 bathrooms.

Peaceful Texas Oasis

This is our favorite vrbo so far! Tammy and Mark thought of everything they are amazing friendly hosts! It was beautiful, clean, fun for kids and adults and lots of yard to run around. We swam in the pool/hot tub for 3 days. We didn’t want to leave, Can’t wait for our next visit.

Great Place

Overall this is a great place to stay, the house and yard are very clean and organized. The only drawbacks is that this place is in a gated community with a strict guest and parking policy. We ourselves didn't have any issues with it though. The hosts were very nice and even offered to have their dogs play with our dogs.

Great Extended Holiday in Austin

Tammy and Mark are truly great host. They live next door and are always available to fix any issue right away. The guest house is great for a couple and even has a nice Murphy bed for guest. The pool and hot tub are fantastic, as is the outdoor kitchen and outdoor eating areas. We stayed from the end of November through early January and it was beginning to feel like home. I would highly recommend this VRBO, as it has everything you need.

Pet Friendly Poolside Paradise

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Mark and Tammy’s Hilltop Haven. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we had everything we needed and more! My husband, our dog and I were sampling nearby areas for work and this was the perfect post-work retreat! We spent both afternoons lounging in the pool. Any questions we had were swiftly answered and we (including our energetic dog) were treated like family (to include homemade cookies, beverages, and a good ol’ Allsups burrito)! For those with dogs - know this is a great place to stay with a spacious fenced in area. We will be back next time we’re in the area.
