About the host

Hosted by Sydney

Host profile image
Mother-daughter team Vicki Bly and Sydney Sue envisioned The Wayback as a place close enough to downtown but far enough away to experience the beauty of the hills. “Our original idea was to open a small coffee shop, but while planning, The Wayback evolved into a much needed farm-to-table cafe, cottages and grounds for private events. The property and views are beautiful. We want this to become a neighborhood place where our Westlake community can gather with friends and enjoy the natural beauty of where we live.”

Why they chose this property

It's ONLY 15 minutes from downtown Austin and 20 minutes to wine country, but private enough you feel you are in the country.
