South Austin Retreat! Nature, Fully Stocked, Pet Friendly

We stayed at this rental over the Christmas Holidays. The positive: the rental was clean; the owner quickly adjusted the thermostat remotely to switch from heat to a/c since the temps were quite hot and then gave us control to adjust; there were plenty of hangers in the closets. The not so positive: the kitchen was not stocked; there was coffee but no sugar or creamer. There was no tea kettle as pictured. The toaster was quite old. There were only 3 wine glasses and few drinking glasses. The 1 cookie sheet available should have been trashed long ago. I purchased aluminum foil to cover it for use. There was only 1 frying pan. The bed pillows were also dated. I purchased new pillows and left them behind with my son.I also purchased bath mats for safety sake. There were no cleaning supplies. I used a broom to sweep the floors but it kept falling apart. The dryer kept shutting off before clothes were dry no matter what cycle was used.The carpet on the stairs needed to be cleaned. There were no lamps in the living room.We got by for the week but I really believe the entire place could use refreshing.

My day was absolutely wonderful. The view from the balcony was gorgeous. The only one downfall to the state was not having adequate lighting to the stairs, going to the backyard to let my dog out. Everything else was simply amazing. Even my daughter who was kind of hard to please thought it was absolutely gorgeous. Hope to be able to stay there again on one of my future visits to Austin.

Our family had a Merry Christmas here at the Natures Retreat. The property was spacious enough so we each had a place to call our own yet it was cozy enough to feel perfect for a 2 week holiday from home. The kitchen was stocked well for holiday cooking and roomy enough for a couple of cooks to work.Ella the family pup had a little yard to visit as needed and the neighborhood felt safe to go for daytime walks.Sally our host answered our questions promptly. TV was available but we rarely turned it on because the large glass door windows provided a view that we enjoyed daily.

Two couples stayed at this house for a week long trip to Austin. It was great for our needs.

We were pleasantly surprised on arrival that the unit was just what we needed and wanted for our 4 night stay Tastefully furnished, well equipped kitchen and split bedrooms each with a bath made our stay very comfortable. The neighborhood was on the upscale side and very convenient for our itinerary

I’ve lived in South Austin for 20 years, just sold my home and need temporary housing and space for visiting family. Perfect choice!

Clean, comfortable, and in the perfect location for our stay in Austin. Will be our first choice when I return.

Went there with my fiancé and a couple of her friends. The property was in a great location and clean, and has fast wifi! Great communication with the owner too. We had an awesome time in Austin! Made me and my fiancé want to move there lol

The house worked out well for myself, my parents, and our two dogs. Sally was good with communicating about minor issues we had. The house could use some updating (pillows were pretty worn out, etc.) but was still a good stay for us. We were driving into downtown to see my sister each day and it was only about a 10-15 minute drive, even with traffic. Lots of shops and restaurants within five minutes of the house. Overall would recommend for 2-4 people.

We enjoyed our stay and the place was close by all the fun tourist attractions.
