Charming Artistic Casita in rolling Texas Hill Country

Entering the garden gate, you'll walk under an arbor and pass the chicken coop, the organic garden and enter your own private retreat. We have made every effort to make this retreat as green as possible. 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. The floors are hardwood and tile with an area rug in the living area. We use sustainable paper products, bath products and soaps. The furniture and cabinetry was locally sourced and/or reclaimed.
We have 2 fish ponds with Koi and goldfish for you to enjoy.
There is a lap pool on the property, just behind the main house filled with rainwater. You are welcome to use the pool while enjoying the cool water, the flowers and watching the wind generators spin. This is a very relaxing place.
Small dogs under 30 pounds are allowed. 2 dogs max. There is a pet fee of $15. per day per dog. (Pets are not allowed in the pool)

We’ll Be Back!

Such a charming cozy casita to tuck into at night and to linger in over coffee in the morning! We attended young grandchildren’s activities and other busy family gatherings in Austin (away from the casita) during the days of our 4-night stay at the casita and looked forward each evening to returning to the quiet that awaited us there! Highly recommend!

A Great Stay away from home

The host Claudia is a wonderful host. The casita was clean, comfortable & cozy. We enjoyed visiting Claudia’s studio. Her work is amazing. Claudia made us feel so welcome when we arrived. You could not meet a nicer person. We plan to use the casita wherever we visit our family in Austin. Sincerely Tom & Francine Burke

End if Feb 2025 stay

The cabin is sooo cute! Huge walk-in shower, small kitchen but has everything you need to make homemade meals and eat together. Internet is hit-miss and only a few channels on the tv but great way to Unplug to kickback and relax, no outside distractions. Claudia is great! Very helpful before and during your trip. Made sure we were would arrive and walk into comfort. Very Clean!! Fairly comfortable bed! Its sooooo quiet there! Wish it wasnt cold and rainy. Would have been able to see stars, just “be” in nature!!! Would stay here again.

Adorable

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!

Great stay in this cozy casita

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!

Perfect

We loved everything about our stay at the Casita. If there was one complaint it would be that we loved it too much. It was so relaxing it made it hard for us to leave for exploring. We slept late every morning and enjoyed coffee and brunch on the porch. We would head out for lunch and some walking but enjoyed our own private happy hour every evening on the porch. Claudia was a wonderful host. The Casita was stocked with everything we needed. Every morning we picked greens for a salad from the garden and the kitchen was stocked for a quick vinaigrette. We brought some bacon and cheese, Claudia provided us with eggs. It's safe to say that breakfast salad is officially our new thing. The bed was comfortable, the setting was peaceful, the decor was just funky enough. We felt right at home and we will definitely come back for a visit!

Anniversary get away

This was our second time to visit The Casita and it was just as delightful as our first! If I had to choose one word to describe this well appointed tiny home, and the surrounding grounds, it would be magical. Claudia is an amazing artist and she has art all over the property waiting to be discovered. Coffee in the morning on the covered porch, and an evening swim, made for a wonderfully relaxing get away. You feel as though you are miles from the city, when actually, you're only a few minutes away. What a special way to spend our 26th wedding anniversary! Thank you, Claudia!

Oasis perfect distance to everything!

The owner is wonderful very nice, very accommodating and communicates everything. The property is equally as amazing, quiet mornings with birdsong or an afternoon in the pool beating the heat and checking out all the architecture. Sunsets from the patio are also enjoyable or a thunderstorm show as well. It's a great distance to everything around while also feeling like you're away in nature. The casita is perfect size and has everything you'd want. The coffee was great! Parking and directions are easy, plenty of space in the yard to hangout and the privacy feels right. Very happy that I went with this charming property in this great neighborhood.

Incredible!!!!

My spouse and I wanted to visit Austin, TX, but didn’t really want to be in a busy part of the city. This gem (lovingly named CasitAlegre) is within a 20 mins drive of all kinds of downtown entertainment and restaurants, but remote enough that it is quiet and relaxing. Claudia has set up this rental property with such TLC, including your own little yard space complete with a deck, seating, a hammock and shade for those sunny Texas afternoons. The house is well equipped with all you need to make meals and do laundry if you need to. She even hooked us up with fresh organic coffee beans, cream and eggs for our first morning, which was such a treat since we arrived very late the night before. The house is spotless and is very comfortable. Wander around the rest of her property to find unique pieces of her pottery and meticulously cared for ponds, a swimming pool and a variety of eco-friendly elements (eg. Water collection). This is a one-of-a-kind rental and I hope we can return again soon!!Thank you for your wonderful hospitality Claudia :)

Claudia is a top notch host. Everything is as described on line. This casita is about a 30 minute drive from downtown Austin. It is an easy commute and a lovely setting in the hills on a gorgeous estate home with a nearby coffee shop, groceries, malls and a wonderfully unique Italian restaurant (great food). It was very hot when we visited and I was very grateful to make use of the pool. Claudia showed us a local park where we went on a great, easy hike past the river and interesting homes. We like it so much we went back several times. The location allows you to spend the morning exploring Austin and visit Hill Country towns in the afternoon. The casita is perfect, with a lovely porch where you will enjoy a perfect sunset. We love Austin and hope to return again next year for the Willie Nelson Concert.
