United States 21 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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.

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! ##### Corrie C.

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! ##### rhonda s.

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.

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 :) ##### Ryan W. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dana 21 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication 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. ##### Dana Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 6 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming, secluded and peaceful 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [AC Hotel by Marriott Dallas Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-AC-Hotel-By-Marriott-Dallas-Downtown.h18228514.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Austin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Fairmont-Austin.h18156638.Hotel-Information) > > [AC Hotel by Marriott Houston Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-AC-Hotel-By-Marriott-Houston-Downtown.h36715633.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Austin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Austin.h20597750.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Houston Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Houston.h20005.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Austin Downtown/Convention Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Austin-DowntownConvention-Center.h1453501.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Dallas Downtown by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Hotel-Dallas-Downtown.h40414.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Dallas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Dallas.h24753.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Americas-Houston](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-Hilton-Americas-Houston.h976144.Hotel-Information) > > [Sonesta Hotel Houston IAH Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-Sonesta-Hotel-Houston-IAH-Airport.h23787.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton University of Houston](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-Hilton-University-Of-Houston.h40758.Hotel-Information) > > [Sonder by Marriott Bonvoy East 5th Apartments East Austin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Sonder-East-5th.h39486446.Hotel-Information) > > [Staybridge Suites Houston Galleria Area by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-Staybridge-Suites-Houston-Galleria-Area.h57536940.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Austin University Capitol District](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Austin-University-Capitol-District.h66911977.Hotel-Information) > > [Magnolia Hotel Dallas Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-Magnolia-Hotel-Dallas-Downtown.h282336.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Dallas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-Fairmont-Dallas.h18280.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Indigo Austin Downtown - University by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-Austin-Downtown-University.h12294834.Hotel-Information) > > [Moody Gardens Hotel, Spa and Convention Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galveston-Hotels-Moody-Gardens-Hotel.h157238.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House Austin/Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Hyatt-House-AustinDowntown.h17061159.Hotel-Information) > > [The Reside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-The-Reside.h22169664.Hotel-Information) > > [The Driskill, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-The-Driskill.h425573.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Austin Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Austin-Downtown.h5437747.Hotel-Information) > > [South Congress Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-South-Congress-Hotel.h9869259.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Houston/Galleria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-HoustonGalleria.h10620692.Hotel-Information) > > [Downright Austin, A Renaissance Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Downright-Austin.h7518.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Warrington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels.d5462.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Austin Downtown Capitol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-DoubleTree-Suites-By-Hilton-Austin.h24523.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin NW - Four Points by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Austin-NW-Four-Points.h9836657.Hotel-Information)
