About this property

Modern Farm w/ 2 Kings: 20 min to Austin, COTA-Tesla

Gil Haus, nestled on 20 private acres, is the perfect luxurious modern farmhouse for a quick getaway from the city. Built in the late 1930s, the newly renovated stunning interior will spoil you with Bertazzoni appliances and custom clawfoot soaking tub. Enjoy nature from the back porch, relaxing in the Adirondack chairs around the fire pit. This secluded home is ideal for a romantic trip, or it can offer a peaceful stay when you want to escape the city.

We apologize for any inconvenience, but animals or 'visiting' animals are not allowed.

Our well-appointed 3-bedroom, 2 bath home in the Manor/Elgin area is perfect for anyone visiting or working in Austin (30 minutes) or its surrounding areas, with Tesla 27 minutes away. The racing action at the Circuit of the Americas is approximately 30 minutes away. The Grand Lady and world famous Southside Barbecue are close by for folks that want delicious Texas barbecue before walking down the aisle!

The king beds have luxury gel memory foam mattresses for a great night's sleep away from home. The two gel memory foam Twin XL beds in the third bedroom are long enough to fit adults. There is also a trundle bed under one of the twin beds.

For your convenience, small appliances are also available: toaster, electric water kettle, blender, stand mixer and waffle maker. A Keurig (with complimentary K-cups), drip coffee maker & a French press is available for coffee lovers. The pantry cabinets are stocked with condiments such as sugar, salt + pepper, olive oil and spices. There are is a local HEB grocery store under 9 minutes from the house, plus a Walmart.

The outdoor deck features a small grill and Adirondack style chairs for enjoying the tree covered back yard and fire pit table.

Host profile image
I enjoy giving neglected homes new life and beauty. I also love live music and taking my kids to the beach. I have a passion for traveling, especially when it includes friends and wine tastings. I’m a foodie and love trying new places that pop up in and around Austin; my all-time favorite is barbecue. I am happy to host your trip and hope you have a 5-star experience at my home.
