Amazing relaxing setting that included quiet afternoons by the pool and incredible fun ping pong tournament in the evenings. Our host was readily accessible should we need anything.
We have enjoyed each of our summer stays at casa mora. The location is great just outside of Austin, quiet, peaceful and close enough for an easy drive into town. The pool is a plus for the hot summer days.
It was peaceful and we had everything we needed. The pool was amazing, and our time spent there was wonderful. We saw some deer and felt completely safe nestled among the trees.

In response to the issues addressed:
As soon as we learned of the leaky puddle behind the refrigerator, we replaced it with a new unit.
Other puddles were a result of catastrophic weather causing extreme flooding and rain in the area.
As soon as we learned our cleaners had not made the home ready (something that has never happened), they went out, cleaned the home and washed all towels and linen.
This is a country home that we proudly maintain for ourselves and guests as reflected in 206 reviews and an Exceptional 9.8 rating.
We have been hosts for sixteen years and will continue to offer a beautiful environment to all our guests.
This is our second stay and it was just as wonderful! The pool is perfect and the backyard is so quiet. It’s only 10 minutes to several food choices, and 20-30 minutes into Austin for other things to do.
Had issues with the fridge but owner was responsive and able to fix it during our stay. The property is a little bit older but is clean and functioning.
Overall it was a nice stay. Great communication with the owners. Only issues the large garbage can outside was overwhelming and we didn’t have room for our trash

We appreciate your positive review and need to clarify the issue with the garbage can. We do supply two additional garbage cans to accommodate extra garbage. This is a country home and we can not control the wildlife that may forage garbage that is unsecured.
We love hosting repeat guests who appreciate our home like we do. We enjoy adding new furnishings and art from our travels. We recently added a mosaic table for the patio made by craftspeople in Morocco.
The place was very clean and had a nice homey feel. The house was super cute. It is located in a beautiful area right next to Dripping Springs. The game room was an added plus. We enjoyed our stay.
My husband, myself & 2 teen daughters enjoyed our stay. The house was so cozy & quaint. We all enjoyed sitting & relaxing near the pool. Saw all kids of birds. Very private. Close to the wedding venue, wineries, restaurants & my sister’s home. Place was furnished beautifully. We loved our stay!
The location outside of Austin was perfect for us. The house was clean with great amenities for the kids (pool and ping pong table). We would certainly come back again!
We had a short relaxing stay and were visited by our great grandkids who enjoyed the pool immensely. A lovely place away from the hectic pace of the city. The game room is a plus. We look forward to returning.
This is our 6th stay at Casa Mora. We always enjoy the peace and quiet of the area and enjoy spending time in the pool. Morrie and Rachel are great hosts and always respond to any needs quickly. We intend to keep making this our destination for our anniversary trip and are already looking forward to next year!
Our family wanted a nice escape to the hill country, and this place delivered! Its setting is beautiful, the deer, the animals, the pool, the woods! We loved everything, it felt like home away from home and the kids loved the pool! It was close to so many places to hike, shop, eat or swim! A perfect place to enjoy both Austin and the Texas Hill Country!

About the host
Hosted by Morrie Schulman and Rachel Gunner
We welcome you to Casa Mora. Rachel is a psychotherapist and author and I am a Realtor and have a financial consulting business. I'm a long time Austin resident and native Texan. Rachel is from Montreal and has been enjoying Austin for the last 33 years. We are music and nature lovers.
Why they chose this property
We love the peaceful hill country setting only 20 minutes from our house in central Austin. The Texas Hill County is a beautiful, different world. We discover wineries, breweries, distilleries, outdoor markets, nature areas and hidden treasures every time we visit.
What makes this property unique
Our home, only minutes away from downtown Austin, allows you to enjoy the energy of Austin's vibrant music scene and night life; and the quiet solitude of country living. Sitting on the back patio, sipping a glass of wine from a nearby Texas winery(our gift to you),listening to the music of the chimes and watching the multitude of birds is the best way to unwind from life's stressors. We cherish our time here as will you.
