Enchanting cottage stay

My husband and I loved being here as we had some life admin to do and wanted a relaxing staycation to accomplish it. We accomplished everything on our list then went to drink wine nearby then relaxed in the hot tub. The home was gorgeous. Loved watching the birds and staring at the curated art and book collection Highly recommend!

Austin Wedding

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at the Casita. It was quiet and the host was very responsive during our stay. The area has so many cute towns close by and we enjoyed a recommended bakery in the area during our stay. I would love to come visit again and explore more. The Casita has all the amenities and was a perfect place for our trip.

What a find!

My husband and I were so pleased with our stay at this VRBO. The space is beautiful and well appointed; owners thought of everything. Comfortable bed; delightful, clean hot tub; kitchen has everything needed. The owners live on site and are in the vacation rental business; very fast responses. We stay in rentals often and decided this one is in the top tier. Treat yourself!

Beautiful and Serene Property

You will not regret staying at this beautiful casita. From the moment we walked up to the front door, we felt the peace and calm of this place. The inside is an architectural delight-lovely vaulted ceiling with large picture windows that entice you onto the back deck where you can enjoy a multitude of wildlife. Every need has been thought of by the gracious hosts. Uncomplicated, understated elegance-you will LOVE it!

Beautiful Home - very clean and well stocked.

Very nice and extremely well designed home. New appliances and the entire home was well stocked / supplied for a great stay. Very comfortable bedding. We enjoyed complete privacy and great country views. The carport is a plus. If anything, the property description understates what you'll find upon visiting. We hope to enjoy the home again one day.

The casita was beautifully kept. The host thought about every amenity possible. It is a peaceful and quiet area. Deer came walking up to the house in the morning and there were tons of birds on the feeder. The hot tub is perfect for cold nights. This weekend was the perfect getaway.

Wish I Could've Stayed Longer

Get in touch with nature at this property & by traveling less than 10 minutes to the local breweries with large deck space & outdoor games for all ages. Then go find some good eats & live music less than 30 minutes away in Austin! The host was extremely quick to respond to messages (usually less than 10 minutes) and had GREAT recommendations of places to visit. Would stay here again - 10/10!!

peaceful relaxation

This was such a beautiful place, very relaxing and peaceful. We made friends with several deer that came to visit and get some leftovers for breakfast and midday snack. Andra was quick to answer any question we had and gave us a great suggestion of a park near by to visit. After staying here, we have decided that we could retire to a place like this. A small home on an amazing property with daily wildlife visitors and bird watching. We hope to go back and stay again.

Peaceful Oasis

Property is beautiful and well maintained. Ample space for two people and large backyard. The owners thought of everything one might need to make their stay awesome, including ample toiletries, towels, and kitchenware. The hot tub is an amazing spot to watch all of the birds and wildlife, and the deck and rocking chairs allowed for early morning tea with a view. Access to a yoga mat made it possible to continue my practice, and it was fun to explore the surrounding neighborhoods on foot to stretch the legs. The location excellent and is in close proximity to dripping springs where there are breweries, wineries, and restaurants galore.

Special Place close to Austin

Andrea made our weekend unforgettable by going above and beyond in every way—from timely communication during booking to ensuring our stay was perfect. La Casita truly has it all: breathtaking views, a fabulous movie collection, a wonderful variety of visiting birds (and even deer!), a cozy stack of books, a fire pit, bathrobes, comfortable rocking chairs, a massive bed, beautiful furnishings, and an amazing hot tub. It was the perfect setting for a life-changing moment, too—I proposed to my partner here, and there was no way she could say no in such a magical place! We can’t wait to come back and relive the memories of this special retreat. Thank you!

Had a great getaway - this space provides everything one needs to escape from life and get some quiet relaxation for a few days. This house cannot be adequately captured in pictures- it exceeded expectations. Had all the amenities I needed. Lots of birds, squirrels, and deer around which added to the beautiful atmosphere.

Such a Beautiful Place!

The pictures of this property are lovely. The property itself is even better! Everything about it is relaxing, calming and renewing. We didn't end up seeing nearly as much of hill country as we planned because we were always anxious to return to the cottage in the afternoon to sit outside and enjoy the back porch and meadow. This is one of the best equipped VRBOs I've seen from kitchen utensils, spices really nice grill, bathroom amenities, etc. We also really enjoyed meeting Andrea and Mike. Such nice people! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!
