About this property

Casa de Austin : Private Luxury Home On Secluded Lot; Awesome Pool/Hot Tub!

!!Read our reviews!!

3,400sf home on 1.5 acre wooded lot with two small creeks. New 7-seat HOT TUB! Private pool with waterfalls and large decks and patios. Newly renovated kitchen anchors this spacious home in the Lake Hills community, just 20 minutes from downtown Austin. High-speed wifi (500mbs) and Sonos speakers. Very large master bedroom (king) with attached bathroom suite (including bidet and large shower); huge open concept kitchen/living/dining room; two additional bedrooms (both queens); game room with 60" TV and custom queen Murphy bed; two twin mattresses (not beds, just mattresses) in office (bunk bed pending but not arrived yet); gas fireplace in living room; huge decks and patios; playscape. Enjoy cooking out by the pool on the propane grill!

This is our actual home, so it is fully equipped and tastefully decorated. We are making it available for you while we are away. Come and enjoy!
N.B.: our pool is not heated. Pool temperature is subject to local, recent ambient temperatures. DOG OWNERS: our yard is not fenced. We are a secluded, wooded property with roaming deer.

Only several blocks away is a newly opened Patrizi's restaurant/bar with incredible Italian food and craft cocktails! Just down the street on Cuernavaca is an awesome local coffee shop and breakfast/lunch kitchen, The Civil Goat. Enjoy!

Downtown Austin is 15-20 minutes away, but major grocery stores, bars and restaurants are only 11 minutes away in either direction (either towards Austin or away).

Please note: for everyone's legal protection there is a camera at the front door and the pool.

(IF you are reading this description on Expedia.com and the room/beds description seems messed up, try finding the property on Vrbo.com instead. Or text me.)

To clarify: 1 king, 3 queen, 2 twin.

Thank you, and we can't wait to host you!

Great getaway

Wonderful property. Immaculately clean. Everything well stocked. Quiet neighborhood. Lots of deer and wildlife. Easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment. Pool looks great but I didn't get to use it due to uncooperative weather. Did use the hot tub and it was perfect. Communication with owner before and during my stay was perfect. Highly recommended.

Family Vacation

My family and I throughly enjoyed our stay here. We were celebrating birthdays and graduations and we couldn’t have asked for a more awesome mini vacation. With a mix of ages there was something for everyone, not a dull moment. Thank you so much for opening your home to us! We definitely recommend and would love to visit again.

Awesome family vacation.

My two sons, their wives and my 5 grandchildren joined me for a family vacation filled with special memories. The house was perfect, lots of room, well stocked and very clean. Even better was the secluded yard, only neighbors we saw were the deer and we only heard the roosters. Best of all was the pool where we all had a blast! I highly recommend this property.

Lovely neighborhood and fantastic house

We had a large family group staying here for the weekend and it was absolutely fantastic. The house is very spacious but our favorite part was the backyard. There was so much room for the kids to play and for us all to relax. We loved the big open kitchen as well for cooking family meals and time together.

The Great Wooded Escape

Absolutely beautiful property. The pool and surrounding area is fantastic. The house is a PERFECT set up for two groups/families traveling together. The community space is in the middle, with sleeping spaces on opposite sides of the house. Everything worked, which almost never happens in a VRBO. I would absolutely recommend it and rent again.

Wooded Escape

This property was perfect for a family staycation. The backyard on this home was so amazing. The pool with waterfalls was fun and relaxing. Plenty of shelves in the pool to sit and enjoy the view and sounds. The hot tub was a great way to end your day with the super jets :) . The home was clean and well stocked. The owner is incredibly responsive and all of the touches they have made to make you comfortable are evident. We even saw a HUGE deer in the backyard. We will be back.

Amazing vacation home

We absolutely loved our stay. The home is even better than the pictures which usually is not the case. Every detail is thought out and everything is high quality. The beds are so comfortable, there are plenty of towels, and blankets and it felt like a true vacation. The outside area is so fun. The hosts are very communicative and hospitable and we hope to come back soon! I definitely recommend this spot.

Great rental for family gathering!

Well stocked property w pretty much everything you need. 5 separate spaces for sleeping which was great for our 6 adult 3 kid gathering. Everyone was able to have their own space. Backyard and pool were awesome! Private setting outside. Thanks again to Michael for being a great host.

To Good

Michael's place is amazing, slept the 6 of my group very comfortably, was clean, and has every amenity. The backyard might have been the best part of our trip. We came out to explore Austin but we ended up spending the majority of our time just enjoying the house! Michael himself was a very responsive host. Overall great experience.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Austin

I am a general contractor specializing in high-end residential renovations.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I designed and built this home. It is an eclectic mix of traditional, transitional, modern and southwestern. The house has 10' ceilings, and a 16' vaulted ceiling in the living room. From the huge decks and patios, you can relax and soak in the sounds of birds, insects and frogs. Or shut the doors and windows and enjoy silence (or your own rockin music on our Sonos system).

What makes this property unique

The house, and the whole back yard space, FEELS good. It is quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. You will see deer in the yard every day. We are surrounded by woods and two small creeks.
