Property Highlights:
Expansive 5-Acre Grounds: Enjoy stunning vistas, hiking trails, and a blend of natural and sculptural beauty throughout the rustic property.

Important Details:
Natural Terrain: The property features gravel roads, walkways, and uneven stone stairs. Sensible shoes or tennis shoes are recommended for navigating the rough terrain.
Nature and Wildlife: Immerse yourself in nature with modern comforts. Expect to see birds, squirrels, lizards, and the occasional bug or spider.
Eco-Friendly Pool: The pool is naturally fed by rainwater and free of chemicals, with fish swimming and some silt on the bottom. A robust filtration system filters the entirety of the pool every hour, so it is safe to swim in year-round. It may appear green in spring and early summer, but it remains safe for swimming. Please note that this isn’t your typical chlorinated backyard pool, and it is more like swimming in a natural swimming hole. We absolutely love it, but want to point this out as that may not be everyone’s cup of tea!

Summary: We were helping our daughter move from one home to another in Austin. This was the perfect place to come home to in the evenings. It is a beautiful, well-equipped place, with lovely outdoor seating areas and lighting, just what we needed after some very long days.

Summary: Clean and well appointed down to makeup towels and spices, the directions are a tad tricky and the road in is a little bumpy but it’s So worth it! Easy and private check in and reasonable check out requests. Comfy beds with good linens and plenty of pillows and towels. Do stop for grocer on your way in that first night as restraints and grocery stores are 15-20 minutes back down a dark windy road. The perfect getaway after a busy day in Austin. The pool is natural and exquisite. .

Summary: David's place made me remember how great the outdoors can be... from the comfort of a cozy patio and relaxing stay! There was plenty of room for me and my friends and we celebrated a very chill Halloween with snacks and spooky movies, all in the privacy of our little home away from home. Thanks again for opening your doors to us, David!

Summary: The house is beautiful and stocked with everything you could ask for and more. One of the few rentals I have stayed in that went above and beyond with appliances, cookware, and everything else you need, including toiletries if you happen to forget your own! The property is beyond beautiful and captures the natural side of what is definitely one of the busiest cities around. You won't have to travel far to be in the heart of the city, which makes this ideal for quiet getaways, while having access to one of my favorite cities in the country.

Summary: It was exactly what we needed. A beautiful relaxing escape, more than we expected. Finding art works around the grounds became a game for us. I highly recommend this slice of paradise.

Summary: Absolutely amazing experience. Things to note: Grill works awesome, comes with everything needed Outdoor shower is wonderful. Gets super hot. I did not shower indoors once during my stay hahaha The king bed in the master is incredibly comfortable. Everything was clean, well prepared, detailed, absolutely phenomenal service from David. I normally don’t let lightning strike twice, always look for something new when I visit, but I definitely see myself opting to stay here again on our next Austin visit. We only wish it had a bot tub, seriously, book this place. You will not regret it. Serenity, peace, so much space to yourself. It is so shocking how close to Austin this “outdoor getaway” is. Literally 5 minutes to the bridge, I can’t remember the name, pepper something.. just a phenomenal stay. 19 stars.

Summary: We have a ranch outside of Austin so we are used to privacy, seclusion and "not being bothered" when we are in town so this (booking in Austin) was a first. I looked at hundreds of properties and kept finding that all of the houses were just renditions of the others---nothing really notable. Found this house and was a bit hesitant due to it being "significantly affordable". Lesson learned. Gorgeous property, great location (VERY close to town) and very private. The previous reviews for this property have been from people who probably had no business staying in a place surrounded by "nature". If a spider outside on a sidewalk is a deal breaker stay elsewhere. If you appreciate quiet, seclusion and a completely different vibe from your suburban life in a home that is impeccably maintained, well appointed and has green views out of every window then book here. The pool is fabulous (husband wants to replicate something similar) and very unique. An Olympic sized private "mini-lake" is about as good as it gets. While we stayed in the larger Casita there is one smaller one that is also on the property which is equally as awesome as this one (pictures do not begin to give thus place justice). Liking privacy, was worried about this until we saw that both are not visible to the other and both are secluded enough as to not know if anyone is there or not. Overall, cannot underscore how happy we were to have found this place. Hoping to book again in the fall. Thank you David!
