Wonderful eclectic bungalow…perfect for a couple. Love the privacy and love how they kept it native. Plenty of room, and they literally thought of everything, even homemade cookies! Groovy area, love the coffee, Italian, and pastries nearby also. We will be back!

Great place - we hope to stay here again!

Very nice! Things we enjoyed: expresso, homemade cookies, satellite TV, nice porch and landscaping, and better than average bathroom. The location was very convenient to One World Theatre and Strange Land Brewing. The owners were very friendly and made us feel welcome. We hope to stay here again!

Peaceful, relaxing getaway

We had a wonderful stay at Campo de Paz!! This is a beautiful, well-decorated house situated on a lovely, private piece of property. We saw four deer on our walk and enjoyed watching the birds while we sat on the deck. Cap and Carolyn are very welcoming hosts who have thought of every detail! We also opted to add breakfast to our stay, and everything was so good! We would definitely recommend this little retreat!!

Nice Getaway

Carolyn and Cap are a super sweet couple and want to make sure you have everything you need during your stay. We loved the surrounding beauty of their property and appreciated the cleanliness of their cottage. They provided all you need to enjoy a cup of tea, water, coffee, snacks and yummy homemade chocolate chip cookies. Thanks again for a nice stay.

Austin - the Peaceful Side!

Way out West on Bee Cave, close to Lakeway, this inexpensive tranquil jewel has everything I need for business travel. Surrounded by trees, it's quiet, peaceful, off the beaten track and yet close to Whole Foods, great golf courses and Lake Travis. Just a few miles off Capital of Texas Highway, you can avoid the Austin congestion and still access the best the Hill Country has to offer!

Peace & Serenity of a well manicured wooded enclave!

Carolyn and Cap are awesome hosts. The unit is totally private, tucked into a peaceful wooded space and surrounded by fabulous landscaping. You've got a private deck too. I wish it had a kitchen - if it did I'd probably move in! - but everything else you need is there. This is about 100 times better than any hotel in Austin.

Relaxing and Peaceful!!

This was such a wonderful, tranquil place with delightful and helpful hosts. We will absolutely stay here again. We had a weekend full of fun at this location central to downtown - about 20 minutes away - and Fredricksburg - a little over an hour away. The accommodations were everything we could ask for - fresh and clean, wonderful shower, comfy bed, lots of space, good coffee and homemade cookies. It was quite luxurious. It was an unusually cold weekend so we didn't get to sit outside on the porch and enjoy nature - but we will be sure to do that next time. We highly recommend this lovely house.

Hill country gem

Beautiful slice of hill country right outside the city. Carolyn and Cap kindly greeted me on my arrival and made sure I'll be comfrotable for my stay. They were so kind to offer refreshments and made sure I there was a plate of Carolyns famous cookies. The hype is real! The house is close enough to get ubers to the city, and far out enough that the state parks are driving distance. Thanks again!

This place was great! The pics don’t do it justice. It’s quite bright and cozy. The high ceilings make this place feel much more spacious. Fantastic decor and ambience. The bed was comfortable. She greeted us with cookies that were soooo good! My only complaint is there are dishes like there’s a kitchen but no kitchen sink. You have to wash dishes in the bathroom sink, which isn’t the end of the world. Just know that ahead of time going into it. We bought dinner and didn’t realize. Otherwise, this place is perfect.
