About this property

Entire place

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

The Macaw yurt

Our beautiful 16ft bungalow-style yurt is 201 square feet of circular coziness and comfort. It feels very large and spacious inside. The Macaw Yurt features a comfortable queen size bed, multiple soft aloe vera pillows, organic cotton sheets and bedding, and a full size pull out sofa bed. We love snacks and amenities as much as anyone, so we've put in an electric kettle, a retro microwave, mini fridge with a large freezer, local coffee from Austin, boutique assortment of tea, 2 liters of our well water, and some snacks. We have our A/C + a fan pumping during the summer months, and the portable heater + heated blankets cranking in the winter, so you'll feel comfortable and right at home.



Please note, we have a 2-night minimum.

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a sofa bed and a coffee maker.

Unique, awesome experience

This place was so cute super clean had a couple of hammocks and outdoor kitchen inside was great. The bed was super comfortable. It was nice and quite a short walk to the lake. The only unfortunate thing is I guess they haven’t received much rain there so the lake was pretty low other than that you’re close to a lot of things Check it out do something different for once don’t stay in a typical hotel.
