The home itself sits on over 1.5 acres and has several outbuildings to include a garden house, a detached garage that houses an antique 8N tractor, a 100 year old red barn and a newer style horse barn. These outbuilding are not for access due to safety reasons for guests and for the sustainability of the property itself. We require that guests due not access out buildings or cross over fences in place. We have video surveillance of off limits areas only to protect our animals and property. Please only access the house, the yard immediately surrounding the house, or the driveway. Guests may occasionally see from the porch the resident chickens roaming about on insect patrol or strategically hiding eggs in the shrubs. Our guesthouse also features 2 horses that were rescued from slaughter, they may look over the fence and smack their lips at you beckoning you to feed them a treat. Please do not approach or feed any of the resident animals as they all have special needs/diets that must be maintained.
The home itself also features an elaborate system for rain water collection used for supplemental watering of animals and garden areas beyond the barn. This system has several holding tanks throughout the property. Guests can see from the porch there is an Aeromotor Windmill beyond the barns that can be utilized in the event of a power outage to maintain our animal's well-being.

Nice place to stay away from the hectic city
It was so nice to stay out away from the busyness and noise of Georgetown, Round Rock and Austin yet Georgetown and Round Rock are 10 - 15 minutes away. Walburg is a cute and small town. The views from the back of the house and the back porch were pastoral and relaxing. The house affords plenty of room for multiple people and long stays. The host was helpful and responded quickly to all of our questions.

Quick trip to Georgetown
We loved staying in this wonderful country home. We were in town for the Two Step Inn festival in Georgetown and had the best stay. The owners were very accommodating and responsive.
