Thanks so much for your kind comments. After 16 years are selling our cottage. We have used the cottage for personal trips as well as a vacation rental that has paid the home. The cottage is not listed with a realtor but if you know anyone that might be interested in the cottage for an investment and/or use it for their personal retreat please let me know. Steve
Beautiful home, serene setting, comfortable, furnished with everything any renter could want, and very responsive owner. This is truly the nicest, best VRBO we have ever rented. I couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Thank you for nice review. We work very hard to make our Cottage something really special.
This was a beautiful home with a fantastic view. It's in a very peaceful location. The house is beautifully decorated, very comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need for cooking at the house. Having the washer/dryer available was fabulous. The host was extremely responsive. We would definitely recommend staying at this property.
We were looking for somewhere rustic, quiet and very relaxed. And we found it! The house was just as described, very well looked after and a great pleasure to be in.
The property and the neighborhood were perfect for our family. We had beautiful sunny days in November which was perfect to walk the trails and explore the woods. We lived it and will come back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Hollows. The kitchen and the sunset views from the back deck were probably the most outstanding aspects of the home. We definitely would stay another month there.

We really really enjoyed having you at you at our Cottage last month. You guys were wonderful guests please return anytime.
It is a great place to be to relax and have family time. I enjoyed cooking on the grill, watching the deer, and taking the kids swimming; the cabin had it all: games for the kids, the kitchen fully stocked, you name it, it was thought of,
Thanks for having us
It was absolutely perfect! Cabin was well appointed, and perfect for a mother daughter trip. We even had therapist come in from Soothe and do massages in the hideaway above the garage.
Our family enjoyed our stay, it was a perfect location for our son daughter and grandkids to meet for some boating, swimming and relaxation. Although there were very strict homeowners association rules and increased restrictions due to Corona, Steve Hames was a great host and assisting in all of our questions.

We really enjoyed having you and your group. Please return anytime.
Great house big enough for a large family. Family loved the location and the surrounding trails and nature. This property has everything you need for an enjoyable stay, amazing opportunities for outdoor adventures and memories. Kids loved the cottage, exploring outside and the bunk bed upstairs, great time and much needed relaxation. Thank you to a great host!
We were extremely pleased with our stay! The host was quick to respond and very accommodating. The house was clean and well stocked. We were in town for a soccer tournament but enjoyed being able to hike and enjoy the beautiful scenery around the house when we were not at the field.
This cottage was absolutely perfect! You are greeted by a beautifully designed home where you wanted for nothing! A well stocked kitchen to say the least, immaculate surroundings where you can watch tv, play games or sit on the peaceful deck! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit!!

Our family had a wonderful time at the cottage, and we can’t thank you enough for your hospitality! The home was just gorgeous and the location so peaceful! Our two-year-old grandson enjoyed it so much he did not want to go home! Thanks again for making it a great vacation experience! Chris and Shea

Thank you for your kind words. We want every guest to have a wonderful experience at our Cottage and The Hollows. We're so glad you had the opportunity to be a guest and welcome you back anytime.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this property! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed. The setting is perfect—peaceful, scenic, and just the right amount of secluded while still being close to everything we needed. It truly felt like a home away from home.I have never seen a kitchen so well stocked with pots, pans, plates, bowls, etc. It might have been more stocked than my own kitchen. Communication with the host was smooth and friendly, and check-in was a breeze. I would highly recommend!
We enjoyed this property. Everything was as expected and clean. The owner was very responsive and helpful. The kitchen was fully equipped and there were board games, welcome treats, plenty extra towels and blankets and pool items. Very convenient and nice.
We spent a great week at this property with our family. Our daughters (ages 4 and 7) loved playing at the lake and playground at the Hollows. We enjoyed the nature walking trails all over the neighborhood. The home is fully stocked with everything you may possibly need. We also rented a golf cart which made getting around even easier. Thanks to Steve for a great experience!

Thanks Judy for your kind words. We hope you will return. You and your family were great guests!
This house was one of the best stocked houses we have ever stayed in. The kitchen was fully furnished with every pot, pan, dish, glasses and many spices for cooking. There was more than enough blankets, extra fans, pool chairs and towels,. Great walking trail right beside the house that lead to the beach club. Everyone enjoyed our stay at the cabin.
Lovely cottage in a quiet spot. The home was spotless and well-appointed. Great view from the covered patio. Beautiful pools at The Hollows were a big hit, especially with the young ones and temps being in the triple digits! Steve was very easy to work with and promptly responded to any questions I had. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

About the host
Hosted by Steve Hames
For the last 25 years I have worked in the meeting and travel industry. I've stayed and inspected hundreds of resorts and fine hotels around the world. Quality and attention to details has always been important to me. My wife and I make sure that our cottage is always in a five star condition. We believe no one will ever leave our property disappointed.
Why they chose this property
After years of traveling around the world we decided that the beautiful Texas Hill Country and Austin was the place we want to be. There is so much to do in the Austin and Hill Country area. The people are friendly and fun to be around. We enjoy ourselves so much that we purchased 5 acres in the area where we built our full-time home.
What makes this property unique
The Cottage is uniquely situated with only 1 neighbor. It's surrounded by forests, hills, creeks, and the walking, hiking & biking trail system. The Cottage is great for those that want beauty, views, privacy and quietness. We think it's the best for a relaxing vacation getaway.
