Summary: Over the years, I have probably stayed in 25 โ€œshort term rentalsโ€ in the US, Europe, & Asia. The Hummingbird Casita is now my all-time favorite. I share this cautiously, because I want to share the truth about this magical property, but I hope it doesnโ€™t become so popular that I wonโ€™t be able to book it again for my future annual trips to Austin!For an individual or couple who are looking for a quiet, peaceful, beautiful retreat in the Austin, I feel I found a gem that truly feels like โ€œhomeโ€œ. The silence & the beauty of this land and structures is sublime. The setting of the Casita on the ownerโ€™s property with a total of 6 acres of lightly wooded, live oak trees offers amazing privacy for a weekend or a weeklong retreat. The design of the Casita is so architecturally, pleasing, simple & elegant. The decorations & attention to detail allow for a very comfortable elegant stay. The artwork in the house only adds & magnifies all the other elements.I sent a text to friends as I sat & watched the deer graze in an opening amongst the trees near sunset. This place is so silentโ€ฆThe only thing I hear are the birds & the butterflies!As I said to the owner on arrival in a textโ€ฆ โ€œThis is even better than advertised.โ€ On my last full day there, the owners and I did get a chance to meet face-to-face. They keep a lovely distance so that you have privacy.Give yourself the gift of nurturing time at the Hummingbird, but try to leave a few days open for my next visit!

Summary: Truly, our stay was magical! The design and astethics of the house were so impressive. The courtyard and entryway were so lovely. Reading about the history of the Casita made it even more special. We so enjoyed watching the wildlife from the back porch. The hot tub was so clean and easy to use. We truly appreciated the peace, quiet and most of all, the privacy!The hot

Summary: Property is beautiful and well maintained. Ample space for two people and large backyard. The owners thought of everything one might need to make their stay awesome, including ample toiletries, towels, and kitchenware. The hot tub is an amazing spot to watch all of the birds and wildlife, and the deck and rocking chairs allowed for early morning tea with a view. Access to a yoga mat made it possible to continue my practice, and it was fun to explore the surrounding neighborhoods on foot to stretch the legs. The location excellent and is in close proximity to dripping springs where there are breweries, wineries, and restaurants galore.

Summary: My husband and I were so pleased with our stay at this VRBO. The space is beautiful and well appointed; owners thought of everything. Comfortable bed; delightful, clean hot tub; kitchen has everything needed. The owners live on site and are in the vacation rental business; very fast responses. We stay in rentals often and decided this one is in the top tier. Treat yourself!

Summary: You will not regret staying at this beautiful casita. From the moment we walked up to the front door, we felt the peace and calm of this place. The inside is an architectural delight-lovely vaulted ceiling with large picture windows that entice you onto the back deck where you can enjoy a multitude of wildlife. Every need has been thought of by the gracious hosts. Uncomplicated, understated elegance-you will LOVE it!

Summary: This was such a beautiful place, very relaxing and peaceful. We made friends with several deer that came to visit and get some leftovers for breakfast and midday snack. Andra was quick to answer any question we had and gave us a great suggestion of a park near by to visit. After staying here, we have decided that we could retire to a place like this. A small home on an amazing property with daily wildlife visitors and bird watching. We hope to go back and stay again.
