About this property
Hill Country Retreat - So Close, But So Far Away
This is our 1,500 sf Guest House ideal for couples and singles who are looking for a quiet, private retreat. The home is situated as privately as possible on our 1.14 acre property and our guests will enjoy a peaceful serene experience during their stay. The interior has recently been redecorated to include a new Simmons mattress, adjustable bed, new bedding, a new couch, and more. With a small kitchen, a washer and dryer, and an office area to get work done we believe it is the perfect temporary home for couples, professionals, relocations, and singles. Less than a mile down the road is Commons Ford Park with Lake Austin access. The Hill Country Galleria is about 10 minutes away and downtown is just a 13 mile drive usually taking 20-25 minutes.
