Small but comfy

Very nice place and very cozy. Was looking for a nice place to stay for new years and my family and I found this one and booked it immediately. Everything was clean and around 40 min to the main city which is not too bad.

Great place to stay!

Loved this apartment. We had everything we needed. The hosts were awesome & quick to help us. Loved being able to bring our dog (more like our baby). The owners were dog people & completely understood. The only thing I would caution people about is that Stairs are involved. We are in our 70s & they were difficult for us (especially carrying luggage, groceries, etc). That was the only negative we experienced. If u r ok w stairs, u will love it!

Solar Eclipse stay

We stayed in the cute, private garage apt. We stayed two days during the total solar eclipse. It is a very efficient use of space and the decorating was very contemporary and clean. Just like the pictures. It is pet friendly and there were great walking trails with bluebonnets blooming. We really enjoyed it and wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely recommend to our friends.

Rough start made right

Had to reach out to manager on the day of our arrival as I had not received check in information. A quick response was provided. Upon arrival, we found the bathroom had not been fully cleaned with soap drips on shower floor and hair in sink. Only 2 stained bath towels and 1 washcloth were provided. Kim was quick to respond and make things right. The bathroom situation was made right the next morning and all was good.

Hideaway from home!

The property was well kept and clean. Very quiet all around the property. There are multiple home dwellings on this property but interestingly enough the owner managed to build and decorate in a way where you had privacy. I say this bc you’d think with multiple homes in one area you’d have to share space. But rather the contrary, I felt alone during our stay which was much appreciated. I’d suggest this vrbo for a couple or a couple and two kids. I’d say comfortably sleeping 4, we had 5 in our group but thankfully the person who slept in the living room didn’t mind so much. Thank you to our host, I give you a thumbs up.

Garage apartment

This is a garage apartment. It is very small as described. I did not care for hearing the garage door open every morning, but that is to be expected as it is a garage apartment. The blanket on my bed stunk so I had to wash it in the washer/dryer that was available. I did not care for walking through the gravel to the apartment. It was aesthetically decorated. I rented it because we were purchasing a new home about 8 minutes away, and my husband and I needed a place to sleep and eat meals.

This oasis was perfectly located near Lake Travis, shopping, golf courses, trails, food trucks and other wineries. The host reached out by email with information of the closest popular locations and were very helpful in any questions we had. The entrance was private and the parking space. Inside the apartment it felt like at home. There is a Tesla Charger in the parking area that makes it very convenient to charge your car, so you don’t have to worry about finding the next charger and just focus on enjoying the day. Very nicely decorated and updated! I took My family of three and enjoyed our stay very much and will have the apartment in mind next time we take a trip to Austin again!

Perfect getaway

I enjoyed the beautiful sunrises and country hills from living room window. Complete kitchen with laundry made this space a home for me this past 5 months The private yard was peaceful and perfect for grilling, family gathering with a fire at night. The host and her family are friendly and professional, they made feel welcomed.
