• Great trip but wouldn't go back

  4/5

  My family and I had a great time. But we wouldn't go back. The views are amazing and the location is very private. However, the internet was super spotty. My IT husband determined that the equipment was good but there was a setting limiting it's functionality. As a result we had a hard time using our baby monitor which was very problematic. Watching TV was also hard but not the end of the world because we weren't there for TV.

  We also enjoyed the hot tub quite a bit. However, the listing doesn't tell you that you need to request the hot tub be heated via text to the owners/managers because it isn't all the time. While the host was very responsive, on at least one occasion by the time we got a response and then the tub was heated, it was too late for us to get in. I'd rather pay extra and have the option to turn on the heat myself. Based on weather, which of course is outside the host's control, I wish the pool was also heated, I'd even have been willing to pay a premium to have that as an option.

  Check in and out was great and we were able to both check in early and out late which was perfect for our group traveling both by car and plane.

  There is not a light over the dining room table. During the day it's beautiful with the garage door style window/opening. However, at night it was difficult to gather and play games at the table.

  Overall we had a great trip and the time spent with family was exactly what we all needed.

  5/5

  We drove in from Cypress, TX to meet family for the Christmas holiday. The property is so private and quaint. Such a beautiful area just outside of Austin.

  The house was very spacious. The layout is a bit odd as there is not an attached bath for the main bedroom. You have to walk across the house to access.

  Plenty of games and things to do. Pickelball/sport court was the highlight for sure and was an absolute blast. There is an excellent fire pit, pool w/hot tub (heated by request), pool table, arcade and board games.

  One of our guests brought their dog. But if you don't bring a pet, expect to see dog hair.

  The kitchen was not well stocked and grateful we drove so we were able to bring a lot. Needs to be cleaned of junk and re-stocked with essential cooking stuff. Especially because there is an induction cooktop and options are extremely limited. On the positive side, the stocked coffee bar, paper items and laundry were a nice addition.

  The patio off of the dining has an excellent transparent garage that is fully functional. Be prepared to battle with flys if it is open while you eat.

  There is plenty of room to explore, listen to coyotes by the campfire, and the view is incredible. Bed was comfortable and is there is plenty of seating between the dining, living and outdoor space. All the Roku TVs were working. The side patio could use some more light and the sport court light wasn't working.

  Overall, very pleasant and wonderful hosts!

• Fantastic little slice of comfort near Austin!

  5/5

  Privet little get away close to Austin, yet very much secluded and privet. Took a 4 day get-away and enjoyed most every bit. Extremely nice pool with hot-tub and abit of a view! Comfortable beds, awesome kitchen to cook in, and very easy access without driving hours on end away from the city.

• Family Get Together

  5/5

  A mostly great time was had by all! I say mostly because the pool guy came while we were there and that caused us to miss an afternoon of swimming. The house also did not have an outside grill but overall a great property for out family of nine to get together.
