Family of four plus two dogs who enjoying hiking and the active lifestyle of Austin tx… really enjoyed the stay, place was clean and the kitchen well equipped for the meals when we cooked in. The location simply can’t be beat… walking distance to Zilker, Barton Springs greenbelt, and downtown. Short ride to Soco area. And Lisa (property manager) was helpful and easy to work with… definitely recommend the rental. Small “warning” as there is an upstairs rental so you will hear folks overhead but was not disruptive.

This Barton Heights VRBO was the perfect place for our family to celebrate! The communication from the property owner was fantastic -- from the initial property description to the pre-trip communication through arrival and departure. The home is absolutely beautiful and is in a location that offers many entertainment options. Lovely parks are all within walking distance. Located just a short ride from the vibrant downtown scene. THIS IS THE PLACE TO STAY IN AUSTIN!!

My daughter's friends had not all been together since graduating two years ago. This was the perfect setting to gather, reconnect and celebrate all the missed birthdays, new jobs and/or promotions. They said everything was perfect and absolutely gorgeous. We can't wait for our next Austin stay! This house is right where you want to be if you are trying to be close to all that is awesome about Austin.

My friends and I loved our stay at Lisa’s property. The house was extremely clean and well decorated. The bed were comfortable and well stocked with blankets and pillows. The only downside was that the third bedroom is more of a daybed/ couch than two twin beds, but two people slept there comfortably and the photos do show this. Zilker park is truly right across the street and we loved walking to the springs. Lisa is very helpful and communicative. We would return again!

Words and pictures don’t do justice to this amazing property. Hands down the best rental I’ve ever stayed. Lisa is an incredible host who thinks of everything. The location can’t be beat and the home is simply stunning.

We booked this property for a long weekend of college graduation celebrations. We needed a home base that could offer everything from usable kitchen, bedrooms and plenty of visiting and hanging out space for multi-generational family. This property met all requirements and exceeded all my expectations. Super clean and beautiful property. Location was perfect and offers lots of options for close by hiking and nature activities. Lisa (owner) was the best communicator and very responsive. I highly recommend this property and wouldn't hesitate to come back!

What a beautiful home with a perfect location! The home is well maintained and was comfortable and spacious. The location is great. The house is less than 15 minutes to all the sites and restaurants. There were 6 of us for a girls weekend and we had plenty of room to spread out. Our host, Lisa checked in on us, via text, and couldn’t have been more accommodating!

this is such a fantastic property – it was perfect for my two girlfriends and I for a fun weekend away. We loved being close to the park for morning and afternoon walks. I don’t think it would be possible to get any closer! The house is decorated so cute, and everything we needed was available. The owner communicated with us throughout, and was wonderful. We would definitely like to stay again!

Lisa’s place was perfect for our group of 8 women celebrating a milestone birthday. We loved this quiet location- close to Barton Springs and walkable food joints and far enough from the craziness of 6th street (10 min Uber drive). It’s near a busy street so we never had trouble finding an Uber. We loved the decor, the deck, and the hot tub. Lisa was also very quick to respond to any questions/concerns we had. She said it would be tight for 8 people but we had no problem. The place is stocked well with kitchen appliances, hairdryers, toilet paper, towels, blankets, soap. We especially loved just sitting in the living room, catching up and binge watching tv late at night. Highly recommend!
*tip: need to buy your own coffee and toiletries. And bring bug spray! humidity and rain make Austin attractive to bugs

We are two families of 4 that travel frequently together. The 8 of us fit very nicely in this home. The open concept was great for meals and fun times playing games and socializing. One set of parents had the master bedroom, the four kids had the bunk room and one set of parents took the third bedroom which is the sunroom - but do not let that discourage you. It was very comfortable and private with a spacious en-suite bath.
The location of this home is very nice. It is very convenient to a lot of great shopping and restaurants. We felt very remote despite being very close to downtown. It’s the best of both worlds.
The weather was stormy during our stay so we regrettably did not get a chance to utilize the outdoor space but it looked amazing. The home is unique which makes it fun, it is thoughtfully well equipped and the property manager was very communicative but respectful to give privacy. I would highly recommend this property and hope we get an opportunity to visit it again - especially with better weather!

Ladies get together. We are rejuvenated!
Eight of us lively ladies coming in from all over the US to enjoy a long weekend. The sitting areas were unsurpassed for gathering and chatting. The location was perfection.
We enjoyed long walks and short walks all around this area. We were guided by a dear friend through yoga and movement under the great pecan tree across the street; followed by a cool dip into Barton Springs, pure delight!
The house design is comfy and fresh, the amenities are very thoughtful with everything you will conceivably want or need.
Lisa is a brilliant host; she is so thoughtful about our time and very quick to respond along the way. You cannot beat the central location of the property along with its genuine hospitality by the owner.
I have a feeling this sacred place in Barton Heights will see us again.
Thank you for having us! XO
