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. Welcome to your peaceful retreat! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Water dispenser ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - 2 steps to reach entrance - Area rugs in public areas - Gravel flooring in public areas - No elevator - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Double-glazed windows - Unit size: 1,200 square feet - Water dispenser ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99420000/99412000/99411993/d491dabf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Million Dollar Lake Views On Lake Austin Mins to DT Rio Robles - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 9.2 Wonderful 30 reviews CA $329 CA $551 total includes taxes & fees Oct 22 - Oct 23 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=99411993&PinnedHotelID=99411993&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33560000/33554000/33553971/4903f361.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lake Austin Waterfront Retreat - Hot Tub, SUP, WiFi, Dogs Welcome Lower Basin Lake Travis - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 273 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-01&endDate=2025-11-02&selected=33553971&PinnedHotelID=33553971&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34460000/34455800/34455787/bbd1e958.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Bloomhouse | Iconic Austin Sculptural Stay Westlake Highlands - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 14 reviews CA $523 CA $954 total includes taxes & fees Oct 27 - Oct 28 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-27&endDate=2025-10-28&selected=34455787&PinnedHotelID=34455787&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101800000/101791200/101791152/330c823f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Romantic Secluded Studio with private Koi Pond and huge Natural Pool Westlake Highlands - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-01&endDate=2025-11-02&selected=101791152&PinnedHotelID=101791152&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27070000/27069900/27069865/bc9da903.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Retreat Austin Lake Estates - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 57 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-01&endDate=2025-11-02&selected=27069865&PinnedHotelID=27069865&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/19000000/18992800/18992796/w849h564x1y1-4245e334.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Available!!
