Our experience and stay at this property was 5 stars across the board. Communication was quick, property was very clean, and the check-in and check-out process was seamless. Highly recommend and would stay again.
It is a beautiful place to stay. Very relaxing and comfortable. Morning coffee on the deck with nature and wildlife. Got to sit with deer while watching the hummingbirds and squirrels in the trees. Also got to meet the friendliest loving cat that would come over and hang out with us on the deck.
Anita’s place was beautiful and perfectly housed our very large group during our stay in Austin. We loved the location and appreciated being able to book last minute as our other rental had fallen through. We appreciated her letting us use the place as a quick touch down for family we were visiting to do pop ins.
The entire experience with Anita was amazing from communication before the trip, the check in process and the house was perfect for a group of 8 for my Bachelorette party! Could not recommend any more!!
Our daughter's college graduation celebration weekend in your home was amazing. Your home is stunning and very comfortable. Anita made our stay memorable and anything we could have wanted or needed was available. Our host made sure the home was nice and cool upon arrival and all beds were ready for all guests. We could not have asked for more.

I’m so happy I could provide the backdrop to your special family celebration!
I stayed here for my graduation weekend and the house is beautiful. It looks just like the pictures. The host communicated efficiently and it was relatively close to downtown. The weather didn’t lend itself to use the patio as much but it was beautiful. One note I would give to future guests is to be careful driving at night. The neighborhood doesn’t have any streetlights and the roads are winding and hilly.
We stayed here in May of 2024 for a reunion of long time friends and it was absolutely perfect. Our group was 6 people where we all had separate bedrooms and bathrooms and plenty of common space to enjoy. The house has an amazing wrap around our door deck with scenic views of the hills and area. Great for a glass of wine and socializing..The home was about a 10-15 minute drive from the downtown area, was spacious, well kept and had everything we needed to make our weekend what we wanted and more. Our hosts Anita and Kurt were A++ Always responsive, offered us additional ways to enhance our stay, stocked some refreshments and coffee and welcomed us very hospitably! Would highly recommend this home and hosts for your consideration.
This home is spacious with large rooms, comfortable common areas and a great kitchen. It was clean and well appointed and located in a beautiful hilly suburb of Austin, but not too far of a drive from the action. It has large decks outside with nice views and hang out spots. It looked good in the photos and was even better in person. The Honor Bar was a nice touch -- a fridge stocked with drinks for a fair contribution. Host Anita was very responsive and helpful. The only possible negative was her insistence that no guests, even during the daytime, be allowed in the house without letting her know and possibly paying extra. We never had any come over, but I thought this was unnecessarily rigid and not typical for houses we've rented in the past.
My three sons and I rented this house for 5 days for the F1 race. It’s a in a great wooded location with a lovely private outdoor seating area. The house was immaculately clean though there were clothing and some other personal items in some of the closets. We assume the renting family usually lives in the house.
The host was accommodating and clear about extras and expectations.
The family left a cat locked up in the laundry room, with a cat door so it could get outside and a food and water feeder. This was not mentioned in the write-up and we did not have a choice about keeping it. It was no trouble but this may be an issue for others.
Home was amazing and perfect for our group. Anita was great and had excellent communication throughout our entire stay. Would highly recommend the home when visiting the Austin area.
Loved the property, beautiful home with plenty of beds and bathrooms. Anita was super responsive and really nice. Had a great stay, and would recommend her properties to anyone. Only negative is cell phone service is limited, but wifi was great.
We enjoyed staying here - felt at home during the visit. The house was clean, well set up, and added touches like a decorated Christmas tree and lighting made us feel at home. There was food in the fridge, coffee and a well stocked mini-bar. The beds were comfortable, and the neighborhood quiet. Hosted family for Christmas lunch, and there was plenty of seating and cooking items. Anita was very responsive when I had questions. Checkout was easy. Great place to stay!

I am so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and had a wonderful Christmas in our home.
Upscale house in secluded area, close to lake and downtown. Plenty of room and large patio with beautiful views throughout house. We had four couples on our group and we all loved the house and had a great time!
Anita was extremely responsive and very helpful from beginning to end. The town of Westlake is beautiful and serene, but is much hillier and further out than anticipated. Make sure you call for an Uber at least 10-15 minutes before you need to leave. The check in and check out process was seamless. The home is stunning and very well maintained. There was plenty of space for 13 girls and sound didn't carry, so others who went to sleep early were never disturbed. The beds were super comfortable and the atmosphere cozy and homely. The main critique is that we were not informed that the owners have pets. Though the pets were not there, a few of the girls had allergic reactions and had to take medication. Aside from that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this home for large groups!
Overall good experience, especially for large groups where the owner added blow up mattresses to accommodate. Location is about 30 minutes from downtown, so not an easy Uber but not difficult to get picked up.

Great Westlake Retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed the house. Three families stayed for a long weekend, and the house was perfect for all ages. We loved the treehouse feeling and all the living spaces inside and out. Felt right at home.

About the host
Hosted by Anita Benavides
We have three family homes we split our time in. This home, which is located in prestigious Westlake Hills, is the home base. A native Texan, I'm originally from San Antonio, but I've called Austin home ever since I came here to attend the University of Texas. My background is in running non-profit organizations, although I'm currently in my second, third and fourth careers - fashion, interior design, and renting out my house. I love to travel too and I always find ideas when I'm traveling on how to make my home more comfortable for you. I love Austin and all it has to offer and I'm sure you will, too!
Why they chose this property
I'm very happy in my home and I look forward to sharing it with you. It is located in one of the best neighborhoods in Austin. It's so close to downtown, yet you feel the serenity of the natural environment that our neighborhood strives to protect. The house itself is roomy and easy to host a big group. You'll find everything you need and if you don't, I'm just a phone call or text away.
