Beautiful, spacious, and well-appointed property. Easy communication with the host. Our group of 11 women had plenty of space to spread out in the common areas, and we absolutely loved lounging outside whether in the pool, hot tub, fire pit, or patio area.

Relaxing Spring Break 2025

"Our stay at Toro Canyon in Austin, Texas, was amazing. The property was immaculate, and the host was friendly and attentive to all our needs. We enjoyed the heated and cooled pool, basketball court, in-ground trampoline, and spent many nights around the fire pit making s'mores or enjoying a glass of wine. Although we encountered minor issues with one of the appliances, the host promptly resolved them, ensuring our comfort. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend it for a family getaway. We definitely plan to rent this property again!”

Awesome Austin Accommodations

We had friends and family take a trip to Austin for the UT football game and Pearl Jam concert. Ages ran from 2 yrs old to 50+ and everyone had a great time. We never left except to go to our events. There was enough there to keep everyone happy and occupied. I will definitely book there again. The house is even better in person!

Amazing Fully Stocked House!

This house had everything we needed for our group of 10 adults. Plenty of beds and bathrooms. Fully stocked kitchen, TVs with Directv, speakers, fast Wifi, plenty of towels and robes, soap/shampoo in all the showers, etc. We came during cold weather and were still able to take advantage of the backyard and jacuzzi. The house also had some extra yard games and a ping pong table in the garage. The house would be the best summer rental with all the outdoor sitting areas and chairs! Thanks!

Decent modern escape

The space was very spacious and modern, and it was big enough space for my friends and I to hangout together. It was also clean and check-in process went smoothly. The hot tub was fun and my friends enjoyed using the basketball court so much that we forgot to try the trampoline! The rainfall shower felt so nice. Unfortunately we were surprised to see lawn mowers and gardeners outside the kitchen window on Sunday during brunch time - they came to tidy and mow the lawn which I have not experienced before when staying at a place that is booked for the whole weekend. One of the beds downstairs was so creaky that the couple staying in that bed decided to get a hotel room somewhere else halfway through. A minor mislabel in the rooms - there's a room with a king bed and another room with a queen bed upstairs (instead of the listed king with queen trundle). I've stayed in many weekend homes, so overall nice but not the best ever.

Great stay

We stayed with a large group for a girls trip and it was amazing, the inside of the house was beautiful and clean and the outside/yard had everything you needed. Conveniently located right near everything/just a short Uber ride away. Jake was great and very accommodating when we asked if we could have earlier check in and check out times due to flight. Will definitely be coming back again, highly recommend!
