Thank you for the great review. Glad the property offered a peaceful retreat while still being close to everything you needed. We’d love to host you again on a future visit.
Great home with plenty of space for our extended family gathering. All essentials provided as noted in description. Would definitely recommend for those needing a large space for family. Also only 20 min from airport and downtown.

Thank you for the great review. We’re glad the home provided plenty of space for your extended family and that the essentials matched the listing. Happy to hear the location — about 20 minutes from the airport and downtown — worked well. We’d love to host you again on a future visit to Austin.
This property was perfect for us. Great spot for large groups!

Thank you, Ben! We’re so glad the property was a great fit for your group. It’s wonderful to hear it worked out perfectly, and we’d love to welcome you all back again.
We stayed for a week here while in town for a wedding, and had a 14-person group, plus a 4-year-old. The five bathrooms was a big plus and one of the prime motivators for selecting this property, but we spent more time on the back patio than inside! It was the gathering spot. For a group so large, we never felt like we were bumping into each other. The game room area downstairs was a big hit with the 20 yr olds, and we used the coffee maker more than any other appliance. Eventually several of the party even made it into the pool.The 20-minute drive into Austin goes fast, and access to the airport is very easy, nice for the many trips made for various arrivals/departures. The road construction in the front of the property was not an issue, easy to negotiate and you could not hear the traffic while sitting out back.The driveway handled all of our vehicles easily. The Social Club across the highway is an easy walk for a couple of drinks in the evening, and the taxidermy place next door is a great spot for some interesting conversation...they even gifted us some free sausage.Highly recommend.

Thank you for the great review. Glad the five bathrooms, roomy layout, and back patio worked well for your group. Happy the game room and pool were hits and the coffee maker saw lots of use. Good to hear parking, the short drive to Austin, and easy airport access were convenient, and the road construction didn’t impact your time outside. Sounds like the nearby Social Club and taxidermy spot added some fun. We’d love to host your group again on a future visit.
This home was everything as listed. Plenty of space for the families and a large gathering area with the dining room and living room. The downstairs area was very nice for the kids to hang out and play. Because of the weather change (summer to fall) the water was a little too cold for the kids to get in. The pool looked very inviting anyway and the large backyard was fun. Hopefully the HWY 290 construction will be completed soon.

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review. We’re glad the home delivered exactly what you needed, from the spacious gathering areas to the downstairs hangout spot for the kids, and that the backyard made the stay enjoyable even with the cooler water. We appreciate your note on the nearby construction and hope it wraps up soon for an even smoother experience next time. We’d love to welcome you back whenever you’re ready to return!

House was great for our group of 13!! Down-rated because the house is much further from downtown than the radius on the listing implies. In addition to that, there is heavy highway construction by the house. What appeared to be a 15 minute drive downtown, ended up being 35 minutes

Overall the stay was OK. It would have been nice if the yard was maintain better. Location was hard to get too the first time there. The pool lights were not working, but the grandkids had a great time!!

Thank you for your feedback, Dave! We're so glad your grandkids had a great time—that’s what it’s all about. We appreciate you pointing out the areas for improvement, especially the yard and pool lighting. We’re currently working with an electrician to resolve the issue with the pole lights, and we’ll make sure the yard receives some extra care as well. We hope to welcome you back for an even smoother stay next time!

We’ve stayed in this area previously. Loved the size of the house and accommodated 12 of us easily. Close proximity to the wedding venue. We made great use of the pool. Loved the lower level entertainment area. All the nephews/nieces played video games all night long. Plenty of bathrooms

Thank you, Doua! We’re so happy to hear the home worked out perfectly for your group and that everyone—especially the nieces and nephews—enjoyed the space and amenities. It sounds like a fun and memorable trip for the wedding wee
Overall - this VRBO is perfect for large groups. Everyone had their own space and had no major issues. The pool is huge and was great for our pool day at the end of our stay. The only true negative - surrounding construction made it difficult for us to get Uber/Lyft. They found us eventually, though!
