Gorgeous home, even better than the pictures. Walking distance to so many things — river path, restaurants and bars, and so forth. We loved our time! Thank you Lisa for being such an amazing host.

Great place, fun decor, wonderful view of the city Christmas tree. It was like every one of our wants, expectations were fulfilled. We walked along the lake and enjoyed the people and the views. Instead of leaving the ambiance of this wonderful place, we ordered delivery from True Foods for one of our meals. Perfect, delicious and on time. Made all the rest of our meals in the well equipped kitchen. The large decks were great and the weather made it possible for relaxing breakfasts. We will come back!

My family loved staying in this naturalistic, light-filled “treehouse” situated atop a hill overlooking the beautiful Zilker Park and a short walk to Barton Springs as well as the Umlauf sculpture garden. Great location and marvelous artsy vibe made for a restorative stay. The host was so responsive and a pleasure to work with. We look forward to returning very soon!

We loved the treehouse for our group of friends. We stayed in a few nights because it was so enjoyable to hang on the patio. Everything was super smooth and Lisa is super easy to communicate and work with. Would definitely recommend for all kinds of groups/families. Just not a raging party house.

I went with a college friend group and we all absolutely loved it. The pictures accurately represent the beauty of the house, porch, vegetation and its location couldn’t be beat. The host was immediately responsive every time I reached out as well. It was wonderful.

Really funky, fun house for a long weekend in a cool area of Austin. There was plenty of room, the beds were very comfortable and the bedding was nice. The whole place was very incredibly clean and well appointed. The outdoor space was very inviting and relaxing. Lisa, the owner, was the most attentive host I have ever had. She checked in periodically to make certain things were going well and to answer any questions. Excellent experience!

Best location and comfortable with a host that catered to all our needs. House equipped with everything you need to spend the entire time indoors to escape the heat outside. There is also a very cute outdoor area which we might have utilized more if it was cooler. Barton Springs is right across the street. Six of us enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to return.

We utilized Lisa's "upper" house for a staff retreat. It was the perfect venue for creating a welcoming, creative and comfortable meeting space. We accomplished so much in our two days there! We hope to host more meetings like this using her space in the future!

Our stay in this home was amazing. It was such a beautiful, peaceful location to enjoy the area. On several evenings we could sit on the deck and enjoy the sounds of the bands playing nearby. One evening we watched a drum circle across the street at Zilker Park and a flame thrower. The windows made you feel like you were outside and not closed in. The heat curtailed many of our activities and this home enabled us to have the most lovely of stays. Every room and every bathroom were equally lovely and charming. The property owner was always incredibly responsive to any needs, which were only because I’m not technologically inclined. The property was perfect!! I was so grateful we were able to stay there. My kids didn’t want to leave!!

Its was a fun and relaxing stay. We had a great view of Barton Springs Park and the Monkey tree and our walk to Barton Springs pool was just as close than if we had to drive and park. It is a super convenient location.
The home interior decoration and architecture was was fun and interesting where the living room seemed to extend out onto the deck with all the windows and french doors.
The kitchen was well supplied and thoughtful and I knew if we were missing something Lisa would take care of us!
We would definitely rent again!

We had a lovely time hosting a bachelorette party at this property. Visiting the springs was a wonderful way to cool off. The property was clean and had everything we needed.

Perfect weekend getaway! Great place, even better location! Walking distance to some amazing spots…. Barton Springs, Terry Blacks BBQ, Tex-Mex and a short drive to DT Austin nightlife! Highly recommended! Ice cold A/C and walking distant (5 minutes) from Barton Springs was exactly what we needed for those hot Austin summer days!

We chose this property as it is close to downtown and Barton Springs. Home is very clean, Home very well stocked with all the items you need including kitchen supplies, cleaning supplies, bedding, towels, etc.. Plenty of space for our group of 8 adults to visit. Outdoor space is fantastic, even though we had a bunch of rain, we were still able to enjoy it. Terry Blacks BBQ is the best and close! One of the bedrooms is small, although still has a Queen bed! We made it work. Would go back! 9 out of 10 stars for our group!

This warm and welcoming property was a wonderful retreat for our group of 9 long-time friends who wanted space to catch up and be together while also being close to the fun that Austin provides. This did not disappoint! We were able to easily get to places in Austin -- even just walking along great paths. We made dinners and cocktails at the house and found it really inviting and perfect for catching up. What a wonderful home!

This property is awesome, it s even better than the photos. It feels like you are truly staying in someone's home, not a rental property with the attention to detail throughout. We spent so much time on the outdoor deck overlooking the park. It was the perfect spot for a girls trip with 9 ladies. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends.

WOW! Lisa's home oasis is a first class home. Plenty of room for our family of 5 - so close to stores, nightlife, music, restaurants yet tranquil and quiet in the Barton Hills neighborhood. We will definitely be staying here again and telling our friends . Lisa is so attentive and caring 5 STAR!
