Birthday retreat
This place was the PERFECT rental for my fiancé's 30th birthday party. We had a combination of friends and family fly into town for an Austin staycation. ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. The dedicated team member was very helpful throughout the stay. We would 100% rent this property again.

Great Hill Country Spot for Families
Our entire family (grandparents and three siblings + spouses with 2 kids each ranging from 5-19) spent Thanksgiving at Steppibg Rock and loved the experience. The house is very nice and perfect for large groups as it has lots of sleeping options and a big, open floor plan downstairs as well as a beautiful patio area. Lots of fun places to visit close by (hikes, breweries, and ATX is only 20 minutes away). I would definitely recommend the house to other guests!!!
Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2021

About NEST Vacation Rentals -- Luxury Properties

Who We Are.
Over the years, NEST has quietly become the go to leader for connecting the most discerning guests with luxury vacation rental homes. Founded on the promise of excellent service and luxury surroundings, NEST manages Austin's finest and most exclusive homes available for short-term rental. NEST's concept and unique approach to home rentals can only be found in the management of the world's finest boutique hotels. Our process is designed to delight each and every guest by delivering a unique and memorable experience.

It all began in 2000, when Owner, Tracey Anderson, purchased her first rental property in downtown Austin. That single purchase inspired what has now become a full-service property management company for hand-curated vacation homes. Tracey's passion for interior design has ensured guests are delighted with the luxurious touches found in every home in the portfolio, delivering the perfect combination of comfort, luxury and amenities.

By developing a reputation for excellent service and well-appointed accommodations, Nest Vacation Rentals has expanded to include homes located in downtown Austin, the SoCo District, luxury homes in the upscale Westlake area of downtown, and a stunner in the Round Top/La Grange area, each with its own signature design, atmosphere and décor.
Our goal is never to be the largest management company in Austin. Instead, we focus on helping our guests realize their own perfect retreat—one unique vacation at a time.

How We Are Different.
Each home represented can only be approved through our thoughtful selection process. This process insures our homes meet NEST's uncompromising standards. This selection process separates NEST luxury homes from other vacation rental properties. Tight and uncompromising controls give our guests the quality, confidence, comfort and consistent experience they expect from all of our homes. NEST's guests and owners appreciate the high quality of amenities, concierge services and the true attention missing in today's vacation property experiences. If you and your group are looking for an exceptional level of quality and experience in a vacation rental, we invite you to visit our home collection.

We look forward to delighting you with memories to last a lifetime.

Best,
Tracey Anderson
