About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Peaceful retreat near Lake Austin and Lake Travis. Fifteen minutes to downtown.

Our property is located just west of downtown Austin and our home and our guest house are situated on 2 1/4 acres. We named it Campo de Paz (Place/Country of Peace) because it a very tranquil location and space. Here, you are just outside the hustle of the city, yet close enough to enjoy the best of both worlds; rejuvenate yourself in the countryside or explore all that Austin has to offer. Better yet, do both! The choice is yours! You are just minutes away from both Lake Austin, Lake Travis, The Hill Country Galleria, and plenty of great restaurants. Relax on your own private deck and watch for deer! Listen for owls and in the spring, you might be lucky enough to hear the whippoorwills. The charming one bedroom (approximately 255 square feet), one bath guest house is furnished with a comfy queen bed, walk-in shower, plenty of closet space, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and electric kettle. Gourmet Nespresso coffee and a selection of Tazo teas are provided. Freshly made chocolate chip cookies or other goodies will be waiting for you when you arrive. Free wi-fi is available along with a 32' TV (99 channels).

Hill country gem
Beautiful slice of hill country right outside the city. Carolyn and Cap kindly greeted me on my arrival and made sure I'll be comfrotable for my stay. They were so kind to offer refreshments and made sure I there was a plate of Carolyns famous cookies. The hype is real! The house is close enough to get ubers to the city, and far out enough that the state parks are driving distance. Thanks again!
