Our stay went very well; the host was very responsive. It is right behind the drive-in, making it a short walk to watch a movie, grab some food, or get a drink. The speakeasy on the property is fantastic. Everyone we met was friendly and made us feel welcome..

Relaxing

This place was perfect for my family to get some sleep after a long day. We were able to watch the late movie with some popcorn. The kids loved the little cottage filled with trinkets of the Harry Potter movie. Looking forward to another stay.

Great little place

Super responsive and friendly people. Very cool speakeasy on property with karaoke on some nights and outdoor movies! Friends stayed in the Star Wars themed house, all the decorations are meticulously done. Close to Austin and Lockhart (BBQ festival). Each place had a fenced yard for your pups. Perfect place for groups of couples to have their own place but be next door

Magical getaway

My teen daughter, who is a Harry Potter fan, was thrilled to find so much memorabilia throughout the tiny house. From the Mirror of Erised to the Monster Book of Monsters to themed décor, we enjoyed discovering all the details. We spent our time binge-watching all 8 movies, making it a cozy, Harry Potter-themed retreat.It was the perfect place for us to unwind and enjoy some quality time together.ChatG

Definitely nice on the Decor and a neat little room. My only complaint is that the rubber seal on the door wasn't great and some.... Interesting species of insects found their way in a few times. But that's a minor nitpick.

Great experience

We loved the movie, ability to bring dogs…however there is absolutely no storage so if you stay more than 1 night there is no room for toiletries and change of clothes. Also, the air conditioning was sub-par…we could not sleep because the room was muggy and would not cool below 86 degrees when the sun came up…we were miserable so we checked out and went home.

I am so sorry that you cannot get the air conditioning down to the level you wished! Our air-conditioning system automatically sets it at a preset, so noted in online manual/ reservation book you do have to change the temperature according to what you would like. It actually can be set to a 65 degree setting if it is 105° outside! We also stated that we are happy to help with any of this if you have any problems at all. So sorry you had this issue without letting us know! We would always been happy to help! As far as the storage issue goes, we completely understand! This is a very small tiny house (I believe when you booked it you understood that it was going to be very small, and all pictures were accurate for your listing) and we do have storage for each tiny house.

Harry Potter Perfection!

My daughter and I stayed at the Harry Potter house to celebrate her birthday. She had just finished reading the first few books. The excitement she showed upon entering the house was more than I could have imagined! She had so much fun finding all of the Harry Potter details! Being able to watch the movies was an added bonus. The bed was very comfortable and communication with the owner was superb. Our only slight issue was white fuzz everywhere from the bath towels, possibly because they were new. Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see any coffee, even though there was a coffee maker. Had decaf tea available, popcorn, and seasoning if you were going to cook something. Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience! I would definitely recommend!

Thanks so much for coming! There was coffee in a container on the counter. It definitely could’ve been easily missed with all of the detail in the house! Yes the towels were brand new and even though I did wash them twice before hand, sometimes it takes a few washes I guess to get all the fuzz off! We are glad you had fun and hope you come stay anytime!

Perfect family getaway!!

We had an absolute blast coming out here! We really needed a quick, family getaway, to rejuvenate and this could not have fit the bill better! As a Harry Potter, and Halloween loving family, we absolutely LOVED all the details in the house! My 5’ 10” teen daughter said she slept great on the fold out! Mostly, we love the atmosphere and hospitality of everyone working with the tiny homes, and drive in! We had an incredible time watching Rocky Horror, the food was so good, and it was incredibly convenient to order a few treats ahead to put in the condo for late night snacks! We went to Bat City Scaregrounds, for some haunted house fun and it far exceeded our expectations, and only 3min away! I loved that when we came back, everyone got to enjoy doing a little of their own thing, my teen watched a dvd on the cabin, I watched the late night horror showing at the drive inn, and my husband really enjoyed the speakeasy! That speakeasy…. Was incredible! Would never have expected that out there, and the drinks were incredible too! We will 💯 be coming back! It was exactly what our family needed and we can’t wait to do it again!

Prefect weekend getaway

The property is really neat and a really great idea, executed very well. The drive in experience was awesome, the cocktail my husband had at Mama Merlot's was excellent and the concession stand nachos were not only awesome, they were celiac friendly which is huge for me. My husband, our dogs and i stayed two nights and really enjoyed it. We are already discussing coming back.

Magical Escape

I stayed here with my dog and loved every minute! The house was cozy and provided everything I needed for my stay. I saw 2 movies and it was super easy to get tickets and order food. The food was delicious! And the best part was being back at home 2 minutes after the movie was over. Plenty of room to walk my dog, the property was quiet even while movies were going and it's close enough to other conveniences.
