About this property

Serene Ranch Escape w/Gourmet Kitchen and Beautiful Pool, heating option.

Escape to Boot-sy Ranch, a private 21-acre retreat just south of Austin. This 4-bed, 2.5-bath luxury home comfortably fits 8 guests. This 21 acre property is yours to walk and enjoy the peace and quiet but quick and easy access to restaurants and shopping. Enjoy a gourmet kitchen, heated (optional) pool, and serene Hill Country seclusion. Perfect for families and groups seeking a unique blend of countryside charm and modern comfort, with easy access to Kyle, Austin, and Dripping Springs.

The pool is treated weekly on Tuesday mornings. The pool can be heated during the cooler months, if night time temperatures falls below 50 degrees it is cost prohibitive to heat. I take a $300-$500 (depending on length of stay and temperatures) deposit to be applied to propane usage. The propane gauge is read when the heater is turned on and again when it is turned off and calculate the cost of heating the pool. There is only one shower in the master and the other full bath has a beautiful 60” claw foot tub with handheld shower

This charming country house was the perfect getaway—peaceful and private yet just a short drive from town. The kitchen was fantastic and fully equipped, the pool was a real highlight, and the whole place felt spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully put together. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot. Highly recommend!

The home is very well appointed. Lots of supplies in the kitchen, coffee, creamer, PB&J in the cupboards. Pool is great. Rooms are spacious and nicely organized. Bathrooms are super clean and tidy. We (2 persons)only stayed one night but you could easily enjoy this property for several get-away days with either a family or a few couples. Went to Salt Lick BBQ for dinner or there is a roadhouse/bar just down the road

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay and found the home well-appointed and comfortable, even for just one night. We love that you noticed the kitchen supplies (coffee, creamer, PB&J, and more) — we try to stock the basics so guests can relax and feel right at home without having to run to the store immediately. The spacious rooms, clean bathrooms, and refreshing pool are definitely some of our favorite features too. Whether you’re a couple looking for a quick getaway or a family planning a longer vacation, this property is perfect for making memories. We hope to welcome you back again for a longer stay

Perfect Getaway

We stayed at Nancy’s beautiful property with some friends and family. Every detail is well thought out for comfort, fun, and aesthetic beauty. We had everything we needed from the kitchen to the bathrooms and cozy beds. Feels like you’re away from it all, a home away from home, with the easy access to Kyle and Austin. Highly recommend and hope to come back again soon!

I hesitate to leave this review because I don't want to compete for reservations for this wonderful gem! Very clean, beautiful home and all the "little touches" made it very comfortable. I also own a VRBO property and know how much things like adequate shower pressure, a well-stocked kitchen, a huge fridge, double ovens, lovely linens, specialty soaps, etc. can make ALL the difference. More than enough towels, comfortable beds and bedding. The pool was gorgeous and a welcome break from the hot sun. I peppered the hostess with questions prior to our arrival, and she was very prompt with her replies. We hosted our two adult children and several of their friends for dinner and we all had plenty of room to spread out, eat tons of BBQ, watch TV, and play games. Conveniently situated to all the Hill Country has to offer and a HUGE HEB grocery. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by nancy smith

Host profile image
We have several homes in the Central Texas area and we love riding horses, gathering with family and enjoy entertaining. I love sharing properties with guests who really appreciate the work that has gone into our properties. We have entertained a lot at Bootsy Ranch and it is a great property for families.

Why they chose this property

We lived in this house for many years as it had easy access to downtown Austin but also felt that you were in the country, sort of the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

Green space, location combined with an amazing pool and chef's style kitchen - really puts it at the top of this list. To have the green space we have (21 acres) so close to so many activities and stores is a great asset but also, have 21 acres of green space and a lot of room to move around.
