    My group and I were thrilled with Stepping Rock. The house was exactly as described and a true retreat in Texas. The pool / outdoor area was an incredible place to relax during the day, and the main living space was excellent for hosting, cooking, and watching TV. Tracey and her team were incredibly responsive leading up to and during our stay. Would recommend Stepping Rock to other large groups visiting Texas!

    This place was amazing! We had an unexpected cancellation 2 days before our arrival date from another property and we found this rental. Tracey with NEST made me feel comfortable knowing we had a place to stay for our party of 24. Everything was perfect! The house was beautiful, clean and very spacious for all of us.

    Great space for a large group. Pool and hot tub were amazing! The views, the cow and donkeys were amazing! Large kitchen both inside and outdoors worked great for preparing meals and setting out catering. Great to have so many beds, most everyone in our group of 20 had a place to sleep.

    What a great property! We stayed here for a family reunion and could not be more happy. The location was peaceful and private but close to brewpubs, bbq, zoo, groceries, and more. The pool and hot tub were just a step away and the common areas were perfect for our large group. Everything was in great condition and Tracy was just a text away if we had questions or concerns. The grandkids loved visiting with the donkeys and mini cow. You will NOT be disappointed!!!

    This is a beautiful property tucked away in the hill country yet close to Austin. The amenities are fabulous and the management company is super responsive. We had an incredible stay.

    This house worked out well for our bachelor party group of 10. The outdoor pool area and games were a great amenity. I would recommend this house for a large group visiting the Austin area. While not necessarily close to the downtown area, Uber's were readily available. We enjoyed our stay at Stepping Rock.

    Stepping Rock was awesome and perfect for our large group. Communication with the NEST was quick and easy. Everyone was able to have their own bed and plenty of space inside and out.

    My group stayed for a few days as part of an annual staff retreat where we get away from the office, decompress and plan the upcoming year. This property was perfect for us! The house had plenty of space, lots of lights and was beautiful. The kitchen was large enough to manage multiple people making meals, the beds were comfy and everything was stocked and ready for us. The hosts were quick to respond to questions and were so kind. The location feels secluded but is close to lots of restaurants and shops and not far from downtown Austin. We are planning on staying here again next year!

    Stepping Rock made our trip to Austin extremely memorable. We were a group of 17 and the house played a huge part of our stay. The kitchen and grill were amazing for us to cook and grill, the pool was amazing and the fact that everyone had their own bed and there was enough bathrooms/rooms was incredible. Highly recommend this property for anyone taking a trip to Austin with a large group.
