We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Casita. The listing was exactly as pictured, and from check in to check out, our host was friendly and communicative of all questions. The casita was the perfect cozy spot to rest after all our Austin adventures.
Quite, serene setting with beautiful landscaping and a very gracious host. This was our 3rd time staying here . We try to stay here when visiting family if available.
Claudiaās casita is a small slice of peace nestled within the Austin hills. Great location with tons of places to visit around. My dog enjoyed laying out on the patio feeling the breeze rush through.
The casita is on a beautiful property surrounded by art and beauty. So peaceful and quiet. Just enough outside the hustle of Austin but still close to everything. Thank you Claudia! Definitely recommend and will stay again.
The Casita was the perfect place for our visit to Austin. The residence was quiet and calming. The proximity and ease of travel to Austin was very convienent. Caudia was very accommodating and a great host. Thank you Claudia
We had a wonderful stay and would recommend it to anyone. Very relaxing, abundant fresh air and sunshine, yet accessible to all of Austin and the hill country. Lovely host.
Nice quiet and cozy. Bed was comfortable and made me feel at home. Property is very cool and unique. Enjoyed my stay and definitely recommend staying here.
The little cabin was quaint and perfectly equipped for one to two people to stay comfortably. The host was very kind and showed us around her property filled with her stunning artwork, sculpture and tile work. The pool was amazing. I would definitely recommend this as a nice place to stay. Close to town too!
Claudia was very welcoming and her home was beautiful. She has made the guest house very comfortable, surrounded by her gardens and sculptures it is a lovely place to stay. We were even allowed us to use the pool. I would recommend to anyone and would stay again.
Claudia made us feel so welcome from the start. From the fresh eggs to the beautiful garden and pool. Very quiet and tranquil. Would stay here again, highly recommend!
Very nice, quiet and relaxing time! The artwork around the house is beautiful. Claudia was awesome, she gave us recommendations to some restaurants and activities in the area! Thank you so much.
I had a wonderful stay at Claudia's casita. It is perfectly appointed with everything you need, cozy and comfortable. Morning cross breezes and birdsong abound, and this host treats guests with a supply of gourmet coffee, half and half, and fresh eggs. Just lovely.
Met host Claudia after arriving, she was very friendly and told us about the property and that if we needed anything to let her know. Accomodations were cozy and quiet and provided everything you would need.(Fresh eggs) Left by host .We will definitely stay here again.
My daughter and I enjoyed this property and space so much! It was quiet and very relaxing. Loved exploring and learning about the history of the property. Will definitely be booking again, maybe by myself just to chill.
Absolutely loved the space, it was immaculate, cozy, and very peaceful and serene. Thank you Claudia for sharing your home with us. We hope to be back.
