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

Everything was absolutely perfect! Dana is a wonderful host! Everything is as advertised and pictures are spot on! We felt so comfortable, like we were at home. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We will be back!
This home away from home was just what 3 sisters needed. The beds were comfortable, amenities were plentiful and the home clean and organized. It was a great stay to recharge and laugh without any littles around. Peaceful bliss for us!
This house is great for a quiet stay with friends or family. A few of the roads leading up to the house are bumpy but it was worth it for the peace this house provides. The host was great and responsive to any questions I had. 10/10 recommend!
Everything was absolutely perfect!!! House is absolutely gorgeous! Everything was super clean, beds are super comfy! Host was amazing from start to finish! We were in town showing pigs with our twin kiddos and this was hands down the best Vrbo we have ever stayed at! Wonderful to come in after a long day at barn and feel right at home!
Honestly, the best vrbo home that any of us had ever stayed in. So beautiful, clean, and welcoming. We’d give it 10 stars if we could! Dana was a great host and had great communication with us throughout our stay. We loved the updated appliances and there was nothing that we felt we needed and didn’t have available. We recommend this stay for any and everyone.
This property was everything we expected and more! From the high-end kitchen to the cozy living room to the comfortable bedrooms and beautiful bathrooms, it did not disappoint. The property outside was perfect for us as well with the kids playing football and baseball and soccer. Our host Dana was so helpful and attentive and was so gracious in her dealings with all of us. The country farmhouse feel and the little details around the house and the property made our family Thanksgiving that much more special. We will definitely be back!
The property is such a beautiful and cozy place. Dana is an excellent host. Kept me up to date throughout the stay.
Would definitely come again!
What you see in the pictures is does not do justice. It exceeded our expectations. Plus the house had everything you need!
We stayed here for NASCAR event and all my cousins agreed that it was a great place to stay.
Thank you Dana!

Wonderful property. Easy access, beautifully styled and maintained. Lovely communication with Dana. Tranquil, safe and well appointed. Not a detail overlooked. Love, love, love!!
We wanted to experience being out in the country and it was perfect. Very clean, every detail of things you needs as well as esthetics was thought of. Dana is very responsive and helpful. We will be back for sure! Thank you Dana
This property checked all the boxes for me;
Very clean, quiet, private but close enough to everything; supermarket, food, walmart etc.
Master bed was very comfortable. Plenty hot water and good shower pressure.
Dana is super nice and responded right away when I had a question.
Highly Recommended.
We really enjoyed our stay while visiting our Daughter and Son-in-law! The place was immaculate, secured, very comfy and charming. We will rent this house again when we come back to visit

From the moment I arrived I felt I was exactly where I needed to be...away from the city. The old farm house feels cozy all while full loaded with top notch amenities. The owners thought about every detail showing how much they care about their guests. It was a beautiful experience and great place to get some R&R.

About the host
Hosted by Dana
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.
