About this cottage rental

Located in Lake Austin, this charming cottage for $125 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. Entering the garden gate, you'll walk under an arbor and pass the chicken coop, the organic garden and enter your own private retreat.

Just inside the gate you have a lovely patio shaded by native Live Oaks, another garden area planted with Texas Natives, and a large covered porch with an outdoor dining spot, and a wide bench with cushions. Inside the Casita, which is small and efficient, you have a queen sized bed, a love seat, a kitchen with granite counter tops and equipped with all the basics, an expandable dining table, a closet and a bath with walk in shower. There are handmade tiles installed in the kitchen and the bath. The dinnerware colorful Fiesta ware. We harvest rainwater and use it on the vegetable gardens, and use some for the landscaping. When available, we can supply you with some fresh eggs from the chickens ! We also stock the fridge with organic free trade Coffee and Half & Half to get you started on your day. The hot water heater is tankless on demand, the AC/heater is an energy efficient 18 Seer Mini-Split, and there is a ceiling fan to reduce the need for AC.

Uniquely set up in a way that allows you to relax. We will be back! I would’ve given my review all 5s if only the online instructions were updated to match what our hostess shared via email. It was a minor inconvenience that was quickly resolved when we enjoyed the gracious eggs, coffee beans, and milk with our cookies we baked fresh in the oven. How wonderful it was!

It was a very pleasant stay, Claudia is an awesome human being and an excellent host, if you’re looking for an Austinean experience this is the place you want to pick for your visit, we’re definitely coming back! Well thats what my wifey thinks. Personally, I prefer a crappy sterile hotel to a totally laid back chill Casita. I caught the personal handmade art statues placed randomly amongst the trees looking at me side eyes as we drove up the gravel road. Haha. Fridge and place had all the necessary provisions to start your trip. Bed was awesome. We just loved it!

Casita was as pictured. Loved that we had a private yard with porch & sitting area outside. Very clean, and felt at home. Bed was comfortable. Claudia was in touch before we got there and made sure we knew how to arrive at the property. We appreciated the food items given to us! Not far from downtown & south congress area (15/20minutes). 10/10 stay.

A perfectly cute lil place to stay, awesome covered porch to hang out on even if it’s raining or to get outta the heat. We enjoyed lounging by the pool, and cooking dinners in casita’s kitchen. There were other people their using the property and doing maintenance but if we did see or run into them all were friendly and respectful. Would for sure stay there again if we visit Austin!!! Thank you again Claudia

Claudia is the most personable host we have had and is a pleasure to have a chat with. She met us at the end of the drive and showed us the casita and walked us up to the pool. This is a wonderful artist space with sculpture, pottery, and handmade tiles everywhere. It was very relaxing and just what we needed. Our doggo loved her stay here, but FYI there are NO DOGS in the POOL, which it mentions in the amenities section of the listing, but I missed as I was looking in the Notes section with the pet information. Claudia was also so sweet to leave us great coffee and fresh eggs!! The mattress was great and sheets soft. Usually when you stay at a VRBO the products are meh, not so with Claudia's place!

We enjoyed staying at this property. Claudia is very talented, her pottery was showcased in the cabinets, and on the wall. Unfortunately she was working on a big order and we didn’t get to tour her studio. The place is cute and eclectic. The chickens were friendly and greeted you. Claudia provided farm fresh eggs the first day. Everything was nice except for the towels, smelled a bit like mildew. Other than that, nice stay.

The property was ideal for my short get-away from it all. Pictures and descriptions were spot-on and the hostess was available but not intrusive. Everything was clean and well maintained and accessible.

At first I thought the reviews were too good to be true. I didn’t have much time to compare properties as my labradoodle needed emergency dental care by specialist in Austin. We couldn’t have come to a more charming, peaceful mini estate or welcoming owner. Set at the edge of hill country, the grounds were immaculate. White pebble walkways, plenty of parking, delightfully nosy and friendly chickens in a super clean coop, spotless and well-appointed cottage. The gated garden enclosing the cottage allowed me to work beneath a delightful porch and watch Charlotte as she recuperated and safely explored. Claudia and Carter had me over to a delicious dinner, made sure we had everything we needed, yet were not intrusive. Did I mention Claudia’s fabulous ceramic studio? I really was depressed the day we checked out! Highly recommend and would stay here again.

The Casita is on a beautiful property in an incredible location! Claudia is an amazing host, she takes care of details we didn’t even imagine before arrival. Fresh eggs from her chickens in the refrigerator, cozy kitchen with everything you need to cook meals, close to many grocery stores- that meant we were able to spend time in a peaceful and quiet hideaway and still drive only about 15 minutes to downtown Austin. Simply amazing.

Very charming place, well appointed, nicely decorated, private, you won’t regret your stay! And the chickens on the property will provide you fresh eggs for breakfast... unless they are on strike...

Even better than the listing description. Amazing property, like a retreat. Our host was welcoming, helpful and interesting. The casita was comfortable, clean, private and had everything we needed. It was nice to have a location removed from the bustle of Austin but a quick (about 15 minutes) drive away. Both of us would love to stay there again.

Beautiful peaceful casita! They were great with accommodations considering we got in super late and gave us a later check out plus fresh eggs! Would highly reccomend this for a couples get away!

I stayed here while visiting my family in Austin. We were all very welcome and even got to visit with the host, feeling like part of the family. Every aspect of the stay was fabulous. The Casita was spotless, comfortable, and filled with all the quality amenities you will ever need. I enjoyed sitting on the front porch and walking the one of a kind grounds. If you get the chance, stay here, I will again!
