Great option for 3bd

Great home and location. Would have been nicer to have bigger beds in 2 of the 3 bedrooms for 3 couples staying the night. But otherwise, it was a great home.

Perfect for Extended Family weekend away

We had 2 toddlers, a teen, 4 adults, and 2 dogs. This property had all we needed to enjoy a long weekend away. The house was clean, the pantry was loaded with every kitchen gadget we could imagine needing and the bedrooms were very comfortable. We particularly enjoyed spending time in the backyard. Nicely done! Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful Stay

I had a group of friends fly into town to visit for the weekend. We had a wonderful time at John’s spacious property. The backyard was beautiful and made for a wonderful area to hang out together outside. No one in my party had any complaints about their stay, so I would definitely recommend and book again!

Great for families

We had a great time here, the house was well-appointed, clean and comfortable. We were two families with eight people total and had plenty of space. The house was a great jumping-off point as well for visiting Austin. There were a few hiccups during our stay but John was very responsive and the issues were resolved quickly.

Quiet and Perfectly Located

Our 4 adult children + 2 SO joined us parents for a family event in Westlake Hills. Very convenient - just a few minutes drive. Also LOVED a morning at Barton Springs Pool (even closer) to cool off in the 100 degree heat (thanks for the beach towels!). House is in a very quiet neighborhood of interesting homes - I would not throw a loud party here. Backyard small and lovely but it was too hot so we didn't really use. A/C worked well! Nice big range and cookware if you want to cook. Extra driveway parking at the side of the house was convenient. And finally, the easy and pleasant communication with John was icing on the cake.
