We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Casita. The listing was exactly as pictured, and from check in to check out, our host was friendly and communicative of all questions. The casita was the perfect cozy spot to rest after all our Austin adventures.
Our stay at the casita was wonderful. Despite a rainy weekend, the grounds were beautiful and the casita was cozy and clean. We would love to stay there again in the future.
Quite, serene setting with beautiful landscaping and a very gracious host. This was our 3rd time staying here . We try to stay here when visiting family if available.
Claudia’s casita is a small slice of peace nestled within the Austin hills. Great location with tons of places to visit around. My dog enjoyed laying out on the patio feeling the breeze rush through.
The casita is on a beautiful property surrounded by art and beauty. So peaceful and quiet. Just enough outside the hustle of Austin but still close to everything. Thank you Claudia! Definitely recommend and will stay again.

About the host
Hosted by Claudia reese
I'm a studio artist and have made my living making pottery, tiles and sculpture since 1981. I taught in universities for a number of years but found that I loved running my own studio. It gives me the freedom to work on my property and add tiles, sculpture, architectural elements, gardens and out buildings.
Why they chose this property
I bought this property because I love Austin and especially this area. When I found it, the cooling breezes seemed to always be blowing. First I built the studio, then my house and pool, and to capture those breezes, IñJust recently we finished the Casita which I'm calling CasitAlegre.
What makes this property unique
This 'compound' developed organically. We'd add one building and another just seemed to want to be built. We've been conscious of making it as environmentally green and sustainable as possible. The main house is built with compressed earth blocks, there are many solar panels, a vast water collection system, and of course the gardens. So we've been at it for a while, and I still have new ideas of things to build and improve. When you visit you'll find a wonderful pool for relaxing or swimming, and just outside the gates, good walking routes and great bike routes.
