We had a wonderful weekend getaway. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. The yard is beautiful and spacious. It was perfect for our dogs. We were a short drive from great restaurants, hiking, kayaking, and the city.
Steve is an amazing host. He left a few things for us in the fridge and even brought us donuts one morning! He gave us great recommendations on places to eat and hike. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back again.

Every detail from start to finish was fantastic! Steve ( host ) was super easy to reach and prompt to answer any questions or concerns. The place is immaculate, charming and cozy - and just the right spot for me (and my dog Buddy!) to recover and refuel. Loved every minute! Thank you Steve! I will most definitely return:)

Very nice and well maintained property, exceeded my expectations. The neighborhood is very quiet and I love that I that I saw deer on every walk I took. It was very easy to get Lyft services in the neighborhood and every activity we wanted to do was within 30 minutes of the house, no matter which part of Austin we wanted to visit. Steve is a phenomenal host checking to see that we had everything we needed and provided additional information to assure we had a great time in Austin.

Our stay was exactly what we were hoping for...relaxing...reading in the outdoor hammocks or sipping morning coffee outside listening to the morning chorus of song birds .
Upon our arrival, the house was clean and very welcoming, with fresh flowers, snacks and ingredients for an Austin, Texas breakfast. The house was set up perfectly for our human family and our pet dog. The fenced in yard meant our Grand Babies and our pet were able to explore and have plenty of outdoor time!
We would not hesitate to stay there again thanks to the hospitality of the owner, and our overall satisfaction with the property!

We are two couples who travel extensively following Formula 1. We usually stay downtown for the USGP but decided to try something different this year. Sure glad we did. Steve was a wonderful host and the accommodations were just as advertised.. Steve had suggestions for lots of nearby restaurants, which panned out and it was a short ride downtown if we preferred. Great property, great host, 5 stars.

Wonderful setting for a vacation rental! The house was very clean and had everything you could possibly need for your vacation. Very close to downtown.
Steve and Tessie Mae are the best property managers I have experienced from my travels State side as well as internationally! Truly a piece of paradise!
Steve is a wonderful person as well as the property manager! Tessie Mae…what can I say…we were sooo tempted to hide her in our suitcase and take her home with us but didn’t want to break Steve’s heart!
Folks, this is a very special place! When in Austin you won’t find a better place to stay! 10 stars!

My daughter and I enjoyed our visit so much. Steve and Tessie May were so welcoming and made our stay so enjoyable. We live different directions and met up to unwind and catch up. Steve and Tessie May’s place is like staying at a mini resort. The large trees and beautiful landscaping make for a peaceful quite stay. Even in the hot weather it was nice under the trees. Well equipped Vrbo. Has everything you need.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The location was great, the large fenced in area worked great with our kids and dog, the house has the old Austin charm (not the commercialized stuff that much of Austin has become), and Steve and his pup Tessie May were outstanding hosts. It’s just a great place to stay.

My family and I were visiting Austin for the holiday weekend and UT football game. The Retreat was the perfect place for our stay. Steve and Tessie Mae were excellent hosts! He even had snacks waiting for my family since we arrived so late. So very thoughtful. 😊
I would highly recommend this location for anyone visiting the Austin area. We would certainly love to stay here again.

Hurricane Ida Evacucation
We stumbled across Steve's property while franticly looking for a pet friendly place to evacuate to for Hurricane Ida. We were so thankful to have found not only a peaceful retreat, but also a wonderful and accommodating host. Due to the destruction of the storm to our hometown, we were not being allowed to head home. Steve graciously let us extend our stay. We cannot say enough how blessed we felt to have found this little home away from home in Austin! The yard is gated and beautiful with lots to room for our pups to run and play. The property is about 20 minutes from downtown, just perfect for exploring! Steve also brought us breakfast bagels, cream cheese, muffins, and a delicious watermelon!
You won't regret booking this property!

My family and I stayed at Steve's house for almost a week and really enjoyed it. Everything was very clean and tidy, and the outdoor space is very well maintained. Our kids loved the hammocks and "swimming" in the hot tub. Steve is a very friendly and helpful host - we arrived to find juice and bagels in the fridge, and he also brought us a chilled watermelon during our stay. Tessie Mae frequently came over to visit, much to the delight of our kids. We had a very relaxing time, and would definitely stay again.

First of all, Steve was an outstanding host. As he was headed out of town, he called to touch base and give some information on where to find things around the home. And he was always quick to reply to any questions we had. The pictures of the property do not do it justice. It is beautiful and has everything you could ask for to stay inside and relax. But the yard is just as lovely if you decide to sit out and take in the fresh air or go for a dip in the hot tub. Our family needed to unwind and this was the perfect setting for that. Absolutely loved it and Steve's hospitality is second to none.
