Great Home And Place To Stay In Austin

Spent the weekend in Austin with family at this wonderful home. The home was clean, in great shape, and everything was as described in the listing. The neighborhood where the home is located is quiet and provides a great place to explore Austin from. The Host was very communicative and accommodating during our stay. Additionally, he provided us with some breakfast food and water which was greatly appreciated. This is a great place to stay and when we’re back in Austin we will definitely stay here again.

Weekend getaway for my birthday weekend

We absolutely loved The Retreat! When we arrived we were greeted with birthday decorations and cupcakes from the host. The host is a really great guy, very personable, accommodating, and approachable. We felt very safe here and it was very homey. Added bonus with all the music themed decorations as we are a musical family. Also loved how welcoming he was to our dogs who don’t get out much. Can’t find a lot of true dog friendly places so that was great! Wish we got to stay longer and would absolutely stay again when in Austin!

Very clean, comfortable house.

The house was very clean and well cared for. The hot tub in the yard was welcomed after running the Austin marathon. We met the owner briefly, he was very nice. He left breakfast food and water which was very kind. The property is gated in at night. It’s about a 20 minute drive from downtown. There’s a cool coffeehouse in the neighborhood.

Lovely house, friendly and helpful owners

The relatives we came to visit were only a block away so this was the perfection location for us. We enjoyed the hot tub! The house had 3 bedrooms, 2 up, 1 down, is located in a very nice residential area, has a beautiful fenced yard, sweet sounding chimes in the tree. Everything was lovely. No complaints at all, although one observation is I haven't slept in a double bed in years. New pillows and a new mattress for the bedrooms would make this perfect! Thanks for a very nice stay in the perfection location for us.

Austin Getaway Weekend

The Retreat was an absolutely amazing property. The house was secured with a gate, impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, incredibly comfortable, and very spacious. It was located in a peaceful and pleasant neighborhood. During our stay, we resided in the main house with our two small dogs, and they thoroughly enjoyed the expansive backyard. The property also features two additional bedrooms and another bathroom upstairs, making it an ideal option for families with children or larger groups. We were there for golf, and the house is inside 20 minutes from UT Golf Club, Falconhead GC in Lakeway and Omni Barton Creek. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get away to Austin.

Great Retreat

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.

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.

Great Location

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.
