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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Would highly recommend

This place did not disappoint. It was welcoming from the moment you opened the door. I was a little skeptical with it being a guest house but it was private and relaxing! Every detail was thought of and Greg was very fast at responding to our questions. If we come back to Austin we are staying here again! Highly recommend!!!
