We hope to take you to away for a while. Our family home is a beautiful, charming classic home that sits on top of a hill on 3/4 acre with surrounding nature and privacy, an oasis in the heart of the city. It has a swimming pool and a fabulous view overlooking the soothing blue hills and amber and golden hues of lovely West Austin sunsets. The beautiful spacious living room with a baby grand piano is a great place to play music, read a book, relax, lounge, quiet down, have intimate conversation and cocktail parties…and be still for a moment, and gaze across the soft pastels to the radiant red lovely Austin sunsets. The stone sun room opens to a path leading to the pool below. It is just minutes away from Mount Bonnell, Austin's famous landmark overlooking the city and beautiful sunset, Laguna Gloria Art Museum and Mayfield Peacock Park and Nature trails. Great for entertaining, the home captures an era of Old Austin. It is a 5 BR / 3 BA, has a pool with a deck that is completely private, a beautiful spacious living room, a stone sun porch and a library which is also a bedroom and has a queen size sleigh bed fold out futon which is very comfortable, great for lounging, reading, maybe watch a classic movie and relaxing. It has wifi, Roku, cable, washer/dryer, kitchen, private pool and deck and is a rare treasure to find---a vacation within itself. Many people come to go explore and stay and relax and enjoy the red cardinals, the blue birds, the purple night skies above the pool and starlight nights and sparkling waves splashing around the pool. Festivity, reunions, celebrations and elegant parties continue to be the heart of our home. We welcome you and hope to host you and your guests and take you to another place and time. We have our home professionally cleaned by professional housekeepers. Please let me know what I can do for you to fully enjoy your stay here before, during and throughout your vacation time and have a wonderful chill on the hill Rare Secluded 1940s Estate Experience. \*\*((As for early and late check out, I'm sorry, but we just can't as we have a quick turnaround of guests departure and next arrival so with pre-scheduled services and our safety and enhanced and extra cleaning precautions and practices in place, I apologize, but it is so hard on our team to give early check ins and late checkouts, especially with the extra cleaning precautions that are in place. We will do our best if if possible of we can make any exceptions. \*\*We will try to return any items left behind and please let is know ASAP so that we can look around before new guests arrive. Im good to return them in the best way possible, provided that we find the item. Please check safely before you check out. Please remember that it is an older classic and rustic home with ambiance and rough terrain and nature that surrounds our home with a character that seem to charm our guests. The rustic nature of our property will still be deeply and freshly cleaned and is treated by ABC professional exterminator services. We have just had the AC/Heat ducts cleaned for your good health, relaxation and comfort. We do our best to keep wild nature out so you can enjoy it outside and from the inside. We dohope you enjoy your stay here. Most of all, please relax, read a book, have a splash in the pool with family and friends, make good memories, wedding parties, family reunions, girls’ & guys’ weekend getaways, even low key bachelor and bachelorette parties. Good fun to Chill the Hill and maybe even Grill - most of all ENJOY your stay!!! We send our big Texas open arm welcome to you all. Relax, enjoy and remember that good times together make life with celebrating!!! Once you arrive at the top of the narrow path up the long, tall hill into the gravel sound on car wheels driveway, there are a few perks for parking which is limited to 3 cars. It is a sensitive driveway situation and must be carefully arranged. It is a long tall driveway so please understand that it is steep which allows for the privacy and we have been going up and down the driveway for 60 years and it is fine and solid and strong. Once you have made a reservation and before your, I can send you a photo for our guest parking spaces which will help hopefully ease your arrival. Most people don't think twice about it, but I like to be forthright and give you the heads up that we have a long tall steep driveway. That’s what gives us the privacy! Please leave space to make sure cars can get in and out of the driveway and leave the circle drive clear and do not park along the bamboo privacy fence or the small space next to the little casita which is behind the privacy fence where I live. When you come up the driveway, it is easier to come and go if you turn your car around and are facing out. Thank you for your parking consideration. Also, we have an energy usage issue, especially in the summer so please keep the AC between 75-80 degrees from May to October in the hot times that Texas gets and generally we leave the house at 75 in the winter time. We appreciate your respect and help with our high bills and the energy usage. Please be mindful of our generosity and hospitality as we are respectful for your comfort. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Unfortunately, and I apologize in advance that the 1941 architecture was not designed with handicapped features. \*\*While we have had individuals who seemed to not have an issue as it is a one-story, the bathrooms are smaller and it is structurally very difficult to alter the accessibility for wheelchairs. I wish we could alter the architecture from the 1940s and our gravel driveway and rugged terrain and an old gravel and steep driveway that we do our best to accommodate everyone we can. The structure is a one story and was designed in 1941 for a family and please inquire if you have special needs. For any wheel chair or walkers, please park close the 2nd porch with only a 3” step to enter our home. \*\*Please let us know as soon as possible if there are any issues with the house and we will tend to them as soon as possible. Please tell us when you notice or won’t be able to fix them or compensate if we don’t know about them\*\* We are across the street from Camp Mabry Army base and the Texas Military Forces Museum which is really fascinating. We are just up the street from Mayfield Park, a beautiful park with peacocks, ponds and nature trails, Laguna Gloria Art Museum, an old Victorian home made into a lovely museum with rolling grounds up to the lagoon, as well as up the road to Mount Bonnell, a great tourist attraction that overlooks Austin’s skyline and a beautiful place to watch the sun set. Now that you have parked, take a breath, relax, enjoy! Thank you.

Loved all the nooks and crannies and places to settle down for cozy conversations. We all loved the pool, especially the grands. It was very clean and well-maintained. The host, Virginia, was wonderful to communicate with and very responsive. She was part of the reason we loved staying there. ##### Billie P.

The host was so easy to communicate with and very responsive. Checkin and check out were smooth and easy. The pool was perfect for the Texas heat and we loved the vibe of the place.

We sought a property that embraced how eclectic Austin is and Virginia’s home did exactly that! We had everything we needed, Virginia was so easy to communicate with and the location was an easy ride to all of our destinations. ##### Jenna M.

The home is very spacious and we loved that our Golden Retriever was welcomed. Virginia was super friendly and communication was awesome. I see endless possibilities to restore this 1940's estate to its glory days. ##### Mary Z.

The property is 100% as advertised, there are great pieces of vintage furniture and art/relics in the house. There is more than enough space and privacy. We enjoyed nights down by the pool and several days in it. Worth a stay if you are in the area, close to downtown, beats any hotel options. ##### Paul F.

Lots of room and many various areas for visiting or relaxing. A little funky for some, but definitely a great location for all things austin. Very secluded atmosphere for in the city. A few glitches with internet and water, but owner is very responsive. Property could use a little love, but all in all it suited our needs! ##### Roxana H.
