With abundant natural light and open spaces, the casita provides a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Property Highlights: Expansive 5-Acre Grounds: Enjoy stunning vistas, hiking trails, and a blend of natural and sculptural beauty throughout the rustic property. Outdoor Amenities: Relax at the large built-in picnic table below the porch or explore the open-air plaza nearby. Wander along hiking pathways leading to three serene ponds or the spectacular 90,000-gallon pool featuring a grotto and waterfall. Austin Hill Country Charm: Experience the tranquility of the Austin Hill Country while being just minutes from downtown Austin. 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! We're delighted to host you and ensure you have a memorable stay in this unique and grand respite in the city.

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. . ##### Beth P. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philip B.

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. ##### Bradley S.

May 22, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### For a fan of the wilderness We came for a girls trip, with the intention of relaxing, hiking and swimming. The home was nice and clean. However the property has overgrown trees/ bushes etc and lots of spiders. Were bitten all over our legs and we didn’t feel comfortable hiking. The pool has not been maintained and we did not feel comfortable swimming in it. Overgrowth, moss, bugs etc plus someone else’s old pool toys. Not the ideal place to book if you are looking for a pool to swim in. ##### Sarah S. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicholas M. Aug 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Genuinely phenomenal experience 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. ##### Nicholas M. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer P. Jul 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous 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! ##### Jennifer P.

Be sure to check the parking instructions ahead of time so you know how to access the property. Bed was super comfortable, great working AC to cool off, and very well maintained property. Would definitely stay again and recommend. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9e1c92c0-97cb-4c8e-a0f5-1b1e23950ab9-1753914518123.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rachel S.

Jul 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### my favorite retreat I’ve ever stayed in Tx this place is truly special and one of a kind- it’s perched in the treetops but beautiful sculptures are nestled everywhere on the property. From the outdoor shower to enjoying golden hour dining al fresco, you would never feel like you’re in Austin.Having lived in Texas and Austin for over 15 years, this place gives you the best of both worlds- 10 min from Downtown but once you’re in the hills, you’ll get to enjoy all the beautiful nature, smells and wildlife.It’s perfect for you if you’re looking for a nature retreat that will allow you to slow down and disconnect but is also close enough to creature comforts. The pool is such a treat to use and the water makes your skin feel rejuvenated. I will try to stay at this property everytime I come back to town- its magic ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ced28272-f8b5-4396-99e7-559746db5d01-1752179821087.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7ad6a6d0-e96a-429f-9ca1-955db50129ec-1752179817910.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e64bb623-44e1-418f-811c-ff09cd41afbd-1752179818000.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Colin W.

Apr 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Great Outdoorsy Getaway The house is adorable and is perfect for individuals who like the outdoors. Unfortunately, we are not those individuals. We were not told ahead of time we would have to walk down a dirt gravel path to get to the house. We were also not told that driving to the actual parking spot would pose some obstacles. We are very fortunate to have a truck but I would caution anyone from taking a low car to the location. There are walking paths on the property but many of the stairs and surfaces are unleveled and do not have guardrails. It was suggested we wear slip resistant shoes after we arrived. It would have been nice to know that ahead of time. I had to change shoes in the car after leaving the house and then again when we got back. There is no real "yard" for pets to use. I strongly advice anyone who has a senior dog to not stay here. Young dogs can probably handle the property but ours could not. If you like camping or hiking then this is a perfect place for you. If you are not into camping or hiking then I do not think this is for you. ##### Veronica L.
