Jeff has been a tremendous and very accommodating host. He went above and beyond for my team and made sure we had everything needed for an amazing and relaxing stay.
My family and I had a great time at the Coffee Grounds. The pool, hot tub and outdoor kitchen were the highlight for us and where we spent a lot of our time. Jeff was very helpful and attentive.
We stayed in the Farm house. It is a unique stay! The house and bedrooms are spacious. It has a very large dining table - great for dinners and games.
We also enjoyed the pool and hot tub. We would definitely stay again.
Enjoyed our weekend at the “Coffee Grounds” while visiting friends around Austin. House, location, pool and hot tub were perfect during our breaks for family time. Peaceful and quiet. Five star owner communication. Highly recommended. Will be back.
We had a wonderful time at this property and Jeff was a fantastic host. Very communicative and provided great restaurant recommendations. We had an issue with the bluetooth speakers by the pool and he was there within an hour to fix it. All around - a great place to stay and would highly recommend!
We hosted a small wedding brunch for out daughter. It was a great setting for it. Jeff was very accomodating, making sure the pool was ready. The grounds
were beautiful. Jeff was always very responsive
The outdoor amenities are great! We thoroughly enjoyed bbqing & relaxing in the hot tub. Would love to come back in summer time when the weather is warmer. It is in a town close to stores, but secluded enough that you feel out of the city. The house has a few creaks, but it’s very roomy & comfortable. It had all the things we needed to cook & enjoy our stay. The host was very accommodating & fast to replay when we communicated. 100% wouldboom here again.

Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
First off very nice host who was good at communicating. However this place has seen better days. Listed as a “retreat” but I would recommend it as a “very rustic” hunting cabin for a couple of dudes. Pool is listed as heated year round but that is not the case and the hot tub was freezing as well. WiFi is not great and unusable for work. We were there for a wedding and could not find an ironing board or even a kitchen trash can (?). Place definitely needs a cleaning - vents caked with dust, dog food on the floor, mold on outside bedroom shower. Accidentally Dropped something under the bed and it was clear no one has cleaned there ever. I’m not that picky, but we traveled through hell to get to Texas and it would have been nice to relax in a decent place. Once again, Jeff seems like a very nice guy, but have to pass on the realities of this place especially for the price. At least it was warm and dry during the very cool weather.
We had a bachelor party with 8 guys, and we had a great time! The house was clean and had plenty of room for activities, and had lots of space to hang out and play games inside and outside. The host was very friendly, and we had no issues.
This property is the whole package is you have a wedding and you are the family of the groom! You could stay and host a rehearsal dinner of about 30+ people. The hosts were so quick to respond and so polite and accommodating! We didn't host our rehearsal dinner here, but hind sight I wish I would have asked our hosts if we could have, would have been perfect!
Had an amazing experience with this beautiful property, hot tub was much needed after each day of a music festival we were going to. Jeff was super, helping out with some fire wood so that we could smoke some briskets in the really spacious smoker! I’ll be so happy to come back and stay again soon! The house and pool house were well maintained and had no issues whatsoever.
Perfectly located Close to town, but felt secluded.
Owner was available by text and always responded quickly.
Beautiful pool and hot tub, where we spent most of our time.
My only recommendation would be to have a book on how to run various accessories.
We will definitely be back
Amazing property. Felt remote yet was very convenient to civilization if you needed anything. Rustic vibe in main house but that only added to the charm of this property. Owner is easy to communicate with…and even volunteered to rescue my husband’s tablet that we left in the pool house! Other family members loved it as well. The best recommendation I can give the Coffee Grounds is that we will be back!!
The property is well run and the kitchen is well equipped. The host was easy to get in touch with via text when I had a few questions.
The outdoor furniture was great with the exception of the metal bar stools. We snagged a few bathing suits on some rusted metal - but that’s an easy fix. I should have put a towel down.
Definitely recommend this location and do plan to return.
We stayed at this property from April 26, 2024 to May 3, 2024, and we had a great time!
Pros
- No issues at all with the checkin process
- The owner was very responsive
- The house was quite clean and comfortable. The pool house was also perfect for a couple in our group.
- There was a separate outdoor bathroom which was perfect when we were using the pool.
Opportunities
- We had to ask the owner to turn on the hot tub every few hours as it was on a timer. He was very quick to respond, though (within minutes).
- We suspected there might be an issue with how the pool filter was working. Someone did come to salt and clean the pool when we were there, though.
- The house was quite dark in the evenings (not a lot of lighting). Overall, this was not an issue, and the house was quite comfortable.
We travelled to Buda for a family wedding and would recommend this place to anyone staying in the area.
Our family got together to celebrate my father in law's birthday. We knew we needed a large enough property to hold all of us while giving us the comforts of home. Jeff's property did not disappoint. The main house sleeps 6 comfortably. The pool house another 2. The main living room is large enough for 10 people to play games in when we wanted. The kitchen was large enough for all prep work. But you go to this property not for the main house or pool house but to enjoy your time outside.
The outside was amazing! Huge BBQ area to watch football games and have a cook out. A fire pit to enjoy the late nights. An 8 foot smoker to have a culinary experience of smoking brisket, ribs and sausages. A pool and heated hot tub. So much space that the kids can be free but safe while the adults can relax.
Here's the reality check that apparently some may miss. This is a family home that is opened up to share with others. It's not the cabin from Yellowstone. There are imperfections that have been brought to the hosts attention. But none of them detracted from the beauty and most importantly the value that the property brings.
It was an absolute pleasure to stay here.
The host, Jeff, has been incredible and super accommodating throughout our stay. This is an AMAZING property and the perfect place to retreat yourself after a long day of work!
