This secluded retreat is nestled in the Barton Creek Valley just west of downtown Austin. It is the ideal location for a family or a group of friends to explore all that Central Texas has to offer. Downtown Austin, the hill country, shopping, outdoor recreation, breweries, wineries, distilleries, olive farms and iconic local restaurants are all near by. Great home base to enjoy special events such as UT Football, Formula 1, Austin City Limits, SXSW and countless others.

Events: We can accommodate "events" of 25 people or fewer, total. Weddings, Graduations, Business meetings, etc. An event fee would apply in addition to the rental fee, which would include a staff of one to help set-up, keep-up and clean-up. All non-overnight guests must be off property by 10:00 p.m..

Our home is extremely private at the end of a dead-end street with the nearest neighbor being over 100 yards away. This secluded gem offers star filled night skies with only the sound of night birds, the rustle of the trees and the howl of a distant coyote. Even though you are in the country, downtown Austin is a short 18 mile drive and 9 miles from Dripping Springs' famous dance halls, bars and restaurants. Even better, you can walk to award winning Jester King Brewery and Revolution Distillery.
