About this property

Austin City Limits Hill Country Serenity by Nature Preserve-Private Pool

Nestled in the hill country by a 7000 acre preserve 30 minutes from Austin, Casa Mora, home for all seasons, is a tastefully decorated 3-bedroom 2 bath stone home on 2.5 acres with a secluded private pool and game room.

A perfect base to explore the energy of Austin and the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country with lakes, charming town squares, vineyards, breweries and distilleries. Or sit on the front porch or the secluded back deck with your complementary glass of wine and nature watch at your home away from home.

Casa Mora features an open floor plan: gourmet kitchen; warmly decorated living room with electric fireplace and French doors that open to outdoor patio, BBQ, eating area, outdoor fire pit, pool and expansive grounds; romantic master bedroom (queen) with electric fireplace, bath with claw foot tub and shower separated from guest bedroom (double) and office/guest (trundle with two twins). Hall bath serves both rooms.

We continually make improvements to the property: new leather couches and electric fireplace in living room; new bedding, linen and comforters in all bedrooms; electric fireplace in master bedroom; new trundle bed and desk in guest room/office; new dishes and glassware in kitchen; mosaic table imported from Morocco in outdoor dining area; newly painted porch and steps.

The quiet is exquisite. Birds and wildlife abound. The neighborhood is secure- there's only one road in and out with only occasional car traffic. Jester King Brewery and Pizza and Beerburg Brewery/restaurant are about one mile away. Many wineries, distilleries, restaurants and Texas Olive Oil Company and town of Dripping Springs are nearby.

Great location

We have enjoyed each of our summer stays at casa mora. The location is great just outside of Austin, quiet, peaceful and close enough for an easy drive into town. The pool is a plus for the hot summer days.

Response from VrboOwner on Aug 20, 2025
In response to the issues addressed: As soon as we learned of the leaky puddle behind the refrigerator, we replaced it with a new unit. Other puddles were a result of catastrophic weather causing extreme flooding and rain in the area. As soon as we learned our cleaners had not made the home ready (something that has never happened), they went out, cleaned the home and washed all towels and linen. This is a country home that we proudly maintain for ourselves and guests as reflected in 206 reviews and an Exceptional 9.8 rating. We have been hosts for sixteen years and will continue to offer a beautiful environment to all our guests.

Quiet spot close to the city

This is our second stay and it was just as wonderful! The pool is perfect and the backyard is so quiet. It’s only 10 minutes to several food choices, and 20-30 minutes into Austin for other things to do.

We appreciate your positive review and need to clarify the issue with the garbage can. We do supply two additional garbage cans to accommodate extra garbage. This is a country home and we can not control the wildlife that may forage garbage that is unsecured.

Exactly what we wanted!

Our family wanted a nice escape to the hill country, and this place delivered! Its setting is beautiful, the deer, the animals, the pool, the woods! We loved everything, it felt like home away from home and the kids loved the pool! It was close to so many places to hike, shop, eat or swim! A perfect place to enjoy both Austin and the Texas Hill Country!

About the host

Hosted by Morrie Schulman and Rachel Gunner

Host profile image
We welcome you to Casa Mora. Rachel is a psychotherapist and author and I am a Realtor and have a financial consulting business. I'm a long time Austin resident and native Texan. Rachel is from Montreal and has been enjoying Austin for the last 33 years. We are music and nature lovers.

Why they chose this property

We love the peaceful hill country setting only 20 minutes from our house in central Austin. The Texas Hill County is a beautiful, different world. We discover wineries, breweries, distilleries, outdoor markets, nature areas and hidden treasures every time we visit.

What makes this property unique

Our home, only minutes away from downtown Austin, allows you to enjoy the energy of Austin's vibrant music scene and night life; and the quiet solitude of country living. Sitting on the back patio, sipping a glass of wine from a nearby Texas winery(our gift to you),listening to the music of the chimes and watching the multitude of birds is the best way to unwind from life's stressors. We cherish our time here as will you.
