Long Term Peaceful Country Getaway
We had a lovely peaceful 6 week country getaway. It was a mixture of remote work, relaxation and holiday/event hosting. The setting was perfect especially the backyard's pool with waterfall, furnishings and landscaping. Although the property is perfect for large events, the house also has 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a well equipped huge kitchen overlooking the backyard through large set of windows. The combination library / TV room was very comfortable when not enjoying the outdoors.
VRBO host Sandy was very responsive and accommodated all our questions and requests.

Beautiful and Relaxing! Great space for a larger group.
The house was perfect for 3 couples - each couple got their own bedroom and bathroom. The only downfall was that there was only 1 room with a king bed but the other two rooms worked for the weekend. We came for the Formula 1 race and it was a great location for that area. It was also pretty close to Austin as well. I would definitely stay here again. The communication was great. Everything was as stated in the description.

We are a busy family on the go. We needed a weekend to be together, celebrate some wins and make some goals for the next year, without any distractions. We had a wonderful time hanging out at the pool, playing games, and cooking. The property is beautiful! Clean and very comfortable. Sandy is an exceptional host and we hope to visit again

Excellent Stay Outside Austin
We stayed with a small family group for an extended period to visit other family in the Austin area. The house is very comfortable in a beautiful, quiet, and relaxing setting, with a great pool area and lovely landscaping all around. The kitchen is well equipped. Sandy is an outstanding host and was very responsive throughout the process.

Lovely home in a quiet location
We absolutely loved this property! We were looking for a place that could offer our family minimal media distractions so that we could spend time reconnecting and this place was perfect. They had a round table that was big enough to accommodate us all while playing card games, which we loved. The pool was wonderful and the home was large enough to give everyone in the house some privacy. My nine year old and I loved exploring the wildlife. We saw roadrunners, deer, lots of lizards, birds and bats. My son was super excited to hear the coyotes howling during the evenings. Sue was absolutely wonderful. She was quick to respond to any issues we had and she was so welcoming. We will definitely plan a visit again in the future.

Tranquil Setting Yet Close To The City
If you plan to visit the Austin area and want a little distance from the city and some peace and quiet look no further. Great setting in Hill country with a constant light breeze blowing and lovely outdoor areas. House is spacious and extremely well equipped.

We loved this property and cannot wait to visit again. The property is beautiful inside and out. We booked this property as a surprise for my son’s 7th birthday and because it has a pool and is located relatively close to horseback riding. We had a great weekend and plan to return soon!

Just what we needed...
We had a great time in this beautiful property. It was close enough to Austin so driving into the city wasn’t a big deal, but it felt like the middle of no where which was so serene. We enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor lights before crashing in the comfy beds. The kitchen was well stocked. Our only recommendation was to have plastic wine glasses for the pool area! Thanks for a great stay!
