A comfy bungalow home away from home with everything supplied that one might need. My grandson got to visit and use the pool and hunted for fresh layed eggs.

Quiet & Private

Tucked away with private parking, fresh eggs, visits from a sweet rescue dog, a pool, and great a/c. I even saw a small herd of deer in the neighborhood. We stayed for a week while in town visiting family. Convenient to shopping & only a short trip downtown. Gracious & responsive hosts. We plan to stay again when we return to Austin.

Perfect Place For A Weekend

Three of stayed here for a long weekend and it fit us perfectly. The place is just as cute as it looks in the pics and quite enough room for three. The fixtures are all top notch, the yard was private and quiet, easy access and plenty of parking. We will stay here again!

Cozy and Clean.

This was the perfect place for our visit. The place was centrally located to visit our Grand baby. It was decorated very cute. The bedroom and bathroom were nice sizes. The kitchen area was fantastic for cooking with a lot of counter space. The only thing is that there isn't very much eating space as there are only two bar stools. It would be nice to have a small table with chairs but that didn't really matter to us. Charis was very attentive to us. We needed a sponge for the kitchen and she had a package of sponges within mins to us. We loved their dog Lina who came to visit us in the back and saw the chickens on our last day. We definitely will be returning on our next visit. Thank you!

Wonderful getaway

My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay!! The location was easily accessible and private. The cottage was very clean and had all that we needed—there was even shampoo, conditioner, body wash, Qtips, and cotton balls! The owners were very friendly and welcoming. I’d definitely recommend staying here! Looking forward to staying again in the future sometime!!

Home Away from Home

Our second stay was as good as the first. Very clean cottage with all the amenities. Owners are very nice and very accommodating. Our grandkids really enjoyed the pool. When we first got to the cottage, there was a half dozen fresh eggs on the counter from the few chickens that roam the yard. The location is great with grocery shopping, restaurants and entertainment within a 10 mile radius. Truly a home away from home. Would recommend a stay.
