You will immediately know you are someplace special when you drive up to the Heart of Cedar Park - a stately residence of first impression, occupying the entire corner of the pristine family-centric neighborhood "The Ranch at Cedar Park".

It is furnished with higher-end unique pieces, comfortable Italian leather sofas, luxurious linens, plush throws, spa bath amenities and a gorgeous French country kitchen with fully stocked coffee bar, breakfast table, butcherblock island, floating island with seating and tree lined street view dining area. Charmingly designed and eclectically decorated, this easy flow and stylistic home fits even the most gregarious and picky of families and travel groups.
Two separate living rooms with expansive Italian leather seating! Enough toilet paper and towels for your group! Spa quality shampoos, soaps and fun bubble bath! Fully stocked coffee bar with complimentary wine and snacks! Pool toys (in Summer) and Smore kit! A Propane and charcoal BBQ.
Enjoy a family dinner at your handmade, rustic dining table made by a local Austin craftsman, watch a football game on any of the eight flat screen 4K TVs or enjoy the backyard for an evening swim, enjoy a fireside chat with S'mores and stargazing by the firepit. BBQ up a storm and dine outside under the covered, lit pergola, head to the upstairs family room for a movie or board game or simply adjourn to one of the five eclectically themed bedrooms for a rest-filled evening and watch a movie on your 4K flat screen TV (one in every room).
With each bedroom having its own cool vibe, theme and name, every guest will have their own Heart of Cedar Park experience after a long day. You will want to take your time in either of the upstairs two gorgeous, newly-remodeled full bathrooms with river rock flooring, subway tile and soaking tubs. Choosing which bedroom to make your own will be one of the first fun memories made at this home.

This was an exceptional home for a girls' family get together. The home was spacious, and the host had thoughtfully furnished the home with a guest's comfort in mind. The kitchen was well appointed, Additionally, we had a guest with some mobility challenges, and it was a pleasant surprise that the home was quite accessible for her with a walker. Communication with Silvia was not only seamless, but she was highly accommodating for us, as well. Parking was easy, the neighborhood safe and lovely. The beds were comfortable, and the wifi was great. I highly recommend this home.
This is our second visit to this wonderful retreat and it was even better than our first visit. We hosted family and friends for Thanksgiving and the A&M/Texas game. The layout is perfect for gathering with plenty of space for privacy as well. The hosts see to every detail allowing us to immediately start vacation mode.
The property was amazing and extremely clean… Our family came to town for our sons wedding we got to relax and enjoy the great environment… Thank you to Silvia and Max for sharing your beautiful home…
We loved our stay. It was a great home for all ages. Every room was spacious and it was wonderful to have 2 living spaces plus an open kitchen. The pictures don’t do it justice. Excellent home. Lots of coffee, shampoo, lotion, towels and even snacks from the hosts!
Very nice property close to several things we wanted to do. Family vacation and we were able to get everyone together. The house is lovely and set up for many people to stay
We were a group of 10 women and the house died our needs perfectly. Well stocked kitchen, clean, lovely outdoor area, easy check in and responsive host! Highly highly recommend!!
This house was perfect! The house was big enough to accommodate all of us. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed a better equipped property! It literally had anything you could think of! And the outside pool space I just can’t even say enough about! The host of responsive and sweet! We would stay here again!
The house looked great online but was better than the pictures even showed! The house was fully stocked with everything that you need for a nice vacation. The host thought of every detail!! I highly recommend Sylvia as a host and her beautiful house in Cedar Park!!
Family visiting from out of State for a high school graduation, they stayed here. It was wonderful! Rave reviews from all and recommend it very much. Thank you Silvia!
Three generations of our family were there with our best family friends. It was Absolutely wonderful. By far, the best VRBO we have stayed in throughout our many travels. Property was immaculately clean, well stocked, and snacks/treats for us throughout the home. Yard and pool were great, floorplan could not be better. We’ll stay here every time we visit Austin. Thank you, hosts, for a wonderful experience.
This house was amazing!! Silvia was a wonderful host and was easy to get a hold of throughout our stay if we needed anything. The house was so cute and had everything we needed and more! The check in and check out process was so easy and check out instructions were easy to follow. Will definitely stay here again when I come back to Austin!
We were more than satisfied with our stay here! The property was very clean and stocked with everything we could want. The pool and outdoor space, in general, were fantastic on hot steamy days. I especially loved the eclectic style of decorating and the fun 'themed' bedrooms. Of all the VRBO's we've stayed at this one would be at the top!!!
We used this house for friends visiting from out of town for a celebration. The house is impeccably and stylishly decorated. We enjoyed the details like themed bedrooms , welcome cookies, well stocked kitchen , coffee bar and even a foot massager. Kids couldnt get enough of their bedroom with the bunk beds.Our guests loved the experience . The owner was easy to communicate with and accomodated a late checkout and early checkin .Overall this home is highly recommended !
Beautiful home. Amenities everywhere. The attention to details and extras were spectacular. Even our other guests remarked that no place they have rented has done so much. This is a must book!
