Austin, Texas
Entering the garden gate, you'll walk under an arbor and pass the chicken coop, the organic garden and enter your own private retreat. We have made every effort to make this retreat as green as possible. Just inside the gate you have a lovely patio shaded by native Live Oaks, another garden area planted with Texas Natives, and a large covered porch with an outdoor dining spot, and a wide bench with cushions. Inside the Casita, which is small and efficient, you have a queen sized bed, a love seat, a kitchen with granite counter tops and equipped with all the basics, an expandable dining table, a closet and a bath with walk in shower. There are handmade tiles installed in the kitchen and the bath. The dinnerware colorful Fiesta ware. We harvest rainwater and use it on the vegetable gardens, and use some for the landscaping. When available, we can supply you with some fresh eggs from the chickens ! We also stock the fridge with organic free trade Coffee and Half & Half to get you started on your day. The hot water heater is tankless on demand, the AC/heater is an energy efficient 18 Seer Mini-Split, and there is a ceiling fan to reduce the need for AC. The floors are hardwood and tile with an area rug in the living area. We use sustainable paper products, bath products and soaps. The furniture and cabinetry was locally sourced and/or reclaimed.
We have 2 fish ponds with Koi and goldfish for you to enjoy.
There is a lap pool on the property, just behind the main house filled with rainwater. You are welcome to use the pool while enjoying the cool water, the flowers and watching the wind generators spin. This is a very relaxing place.
Small dogs under 30 pounds are allowed. 2 dogs max. There is a pet fee of $15. per day per dog. (Pets are not allowed in the pool)
Beautiful scenery. Very relaxing environment.
We absolutely will want to book this property again.
My daughter and I enjoyed this property and space so much! It was quiet and very relaxing. Loved exploring and learning about the history of the property. Will definitely be booking again, maybe by myself just to chill.
Great cozy place
Uniquely set up in a way that allows you to relax. We will be back! I would’ve given my review all 5s if only the online instructions were updated to match what our hostess shared via email. It was a minor inconvenience that was quickly resolved when we enjoyed the gracious eggs, coffee beans, and milk with our cookies we baked fresh in the oven. How wonderful it was!
It was a great little place in the hills. Quiet with some wildlife. My dog and I had a good stay.
Good experience
It was a very pleasant stay, Claudia is an awesome human being and an excellent host, if you’re looking for an Austinean experience this is the place you want to pick for your visit, we’re definitely coming back! Well thats what my wifey thinks. Personally, I prefer a crappy sterile hotel to a totally laid back chill Casita. I caught the personal handmade art statues placed randomly amongst the trees looking at me side eyes as we drove up the gravel road. Haha. Fridge and place had all the necessary provisions to start your trip. Bed was awesome. We just loved it!
Casita was as pictured. Loved that we had a private yard with porch & sitting area outside. Very clean, and felt at home. Bed was comfortable. Claudia was in touch before we got there and made sure we knew how to arrive at the property. We appreciated the food items given to us! Not far from downtown & south congress area (15/20minutes). 10/10 stay.
We were thrilled w our stay. Easy to access. Google maps or whoever I used kinda lead us astray but the hostess had already sent perfect instructions. Loved our time here.
A perfectly cute lil place to stay, awesome covered porch to hang out on even if it’s raining or to get outta the heat. We enjoyed lounging by the pool, and cooking dinners in casita’s kitchen. There were other people their using the property and doing maintenance but if we did see or run into them all were friendly and respectful. Would for sure stay there again if we visit Austin!!! Thank you again Claudia
Claudia is a wonderful hostess!
We were very cozy here and there's plenty to do in the surrounding area.
Special place for healing and relaxing

Property owners very sweet people. So quite and and restful. And close with river and attraction area from here. My mom and me and my little puppy, were so enjoyed @ here. Feel like my private a little own house. Hopefully next traveler also like here. ?
Claudia was an amazing host and very accommodating! There is an amazing pool just steps away from the house and plenty to do around the area! The host is also very knowledgeable about fun activities to do in the area! I will definitely be returning.
We loved the property and owner. Very beautiful and relaxing.
Claudia is the most personable host we have had and is a pleasure to have a chat with. She met us at the end of the drive and showed us the casita and walked us up to the pool. This is a wonderful artist space with sculpture, pottery, and handmade tiles everywhere. It was very relaxing and just what we needed. Our doggo loved her stay here, but FYI there are NO DOGS in the POOL, which it mentions in the amenities section of the listing, but I missed as I was looking in the Notes section with the pet information. Claudia was also so sweet to leave us great coffee and fresh eggs!! The mattress was great and sheets soft. Usually when you stay at a VRBO the products are meh, not so with Claudia's place!
