We just returned from a wonderful long three day weekend at Crystal Creek. We had 8 couples who traveled to Austin for our dear friends’ daughter’s wedding, which was held at the Omni Barton Creek Resort, so very conveniently located to Crystal Creek. CC is a lovely property with so much to offer! We had unseasonably cloudy and rainy weather so we couldn’t enjoy the wonderful pool or kayaking, or other outside amenities. But, the home has a nice living room space, kitchen and outside covered space to relax and hang out at. Laura was incredible to work with and was very responsive and accommodating! The only issues we had were that only 3 of the bedrooms were in the main house which is stated in the description. Then there are 3 separate cabins, one being a hike down a hill. The airstream has its own shower, however, there’s another trailer tight next to it, which is the eighth bedroom with no shower just a toilet and sink. It was a little challenging for that couple because they had to come to the main house to borrow a shower. Just a little tricky because we had a couple formal events. Other than that, everything was wonderful! Highly recommend! ##### Ramona E.

There were 12 of us staying at Laura & Dru's property celebrating a bachelorette party and this place could not have been more perfect. The house is gorgeous and had everything included that you could think of. It's secluded on the pond so noise was not an issue and in a very nice area. Dru went above and beyond taking care of us all weekend and responded quickly whenever we needed anything or asked any questions. I could not recommend this property and our experience enough. This property and the pool area was the highlight of our weekend!! ##### Mikki P.

I’ve stayed in over 100 properties, and this experience topped them all. The house is better than the pictures, the attentiveness of the hosts was terrific. We spent an hour trying to find something the property was missing. We were unsuccessful. Will be back multiple times a year. ##### Domnick W.

I cannot say enough positive feedback about this place! This is by far my favorite VRBO I have stayed in! A group of 14 of us stayed during the New Year weekend. First, the sleeping arrangements are awesome. There are 3 bedrooms in the main house, 2 cabins, a casita, and two air streams. All offered enough privacy for our whole entire group. Second, the views/location are absolutely incredible. Beautiful views of the hill country while still only being a short drive to town (6th Street/Rainey Street - about 15-20 minutes). There are a lot of food options and a grocery store close by (7 minutes) so this made it easy for delivery or if you need to pick something up! Third, Laura was an amazing host! She is very accommodating and quick to respond should you have any questions or need anything. Fourth, the amenities are awesome! We enjoyed hanging out at the pool and hot tub. There is a golf area, which was a big hit for our group of guys. Last, all the areas, including the main house, were very nice and super clean. We would definitely come back and stay again! ##### Brooke B. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David C. 29 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Like being in the middle of nowhere, 10 mins from town Your looking at these photos, you see the location and you think yourself .. is this real? The answer is yes! We spent an amazing week here and it was everything the pictures showed and more. I'll break this down from a couple of perspectives. The kids: My kids loved the outdoor space. The pool - It can be heated if you are going outside the summer season and it has one of those endless pools that is meant to be used for swimming against but my kids turned it into a lazy river! The hot tub - Works great, lots of jets and perfect for clear starry nights! The firepit - Great seating, Plenty of fire wood near by and they even brought us roasting sticks! My wife and I: Master suite - Great views, very comfortable bed and fast wifi throughout the house The kitchen - They had a vitamix blender and two coffee makers (KCUP and Drip) The outside dining - There were two outside dining tables one covered under the deck and the other next to the pond shore. We used both and loved the outdoor dining. Big Green Egg - There was a big green egg, lots of natural charcoal, light fluid and lighters. Made grilling outside and serving on the outside tables so much fun. The view: While we were technically in someones backyard (the owner of the property lives in the house on the other side of the pond) you felt like you were in an isolated canyon without worry of the outside world. And yet we could hit HEB in 10 minutes! My cousins: They loved the cabin The cabin located just down the hill has its own great views, beds and own little kitchen. My cousin's family was able to have their own private space while still joining us for the days fun. My parents: They enjoyed the Casita which meant they could have some downtime from the grandkids when they needed it. The family also loved the Spa treatment room where we arranged for massages and facials without having to leave the property! All in all, wonderful memories and a very relaxing retreat without having to worry about driving an hour to get more supplies. Highly recommended. ##### David C.

There are individual rooms for everyone, low-key activities for afterhours, and great hosts that made everything easy. ##### Erin J.

The view was great and location was perfect (tucked away to feel secluded but only a 20 min drive to downtown). The house had everything you could need. The pool was perfect and rooms comfortable. So many things to do onsite, we didn’t have enough time to enjoy it all. We went with 14 people in total and loved the separate little cabins to give everyone a little space. Laura was a great host and quick to respond to anything we needed. We are already talking about coming back! ##### Kate B.

We spent four nights around a wedding weekend. It worked perfectly for our extended family of 12\. We were able to enjoy the hot tub, putting green and corn hole with additional family the afternoon after the wedding. ##### Dave S.

The house was very comfortable and the views were incredible. We had a blast hanging out in the pool and hot tub. We also used the putting green and played corn hole. We even roasted marshmallows around the bonfire. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and the guest houses were great for guys who wanted their own space. It felt like anything we could possibly need was at the house already. It was such a great place the hardest thing was leaving on our last day. Loved this place! ##### Matthew C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie H. 20 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Bachelorette Weekend in October My friends and I rented Laura's property for a Bachelorette party this month. Everything was perfect - from before we even checked in (I had a million questions leading up and Laura was so responsive and helpful every step of the way) to the second we checked out. The property was beautiful and had plenty of space for 12 girls. Even though it was a bachelorette party we spent a ton of time at the house/pool - it was like our own little oasis and we had just as much fun staying home. When we did go out, it was in a great location (about 25 min from Lake Travis and closer to downtown). Laura even taught our own private yoga class one of the mornings which was so lovely and everyone enjoyed. Laura and her husband were around if we ever needed anything and checked in with us throughout the stay to make sure that we were all set. Can't recommend this place enough and will 100% be coming back in the future! Thanks again! ##### Katie H.

We had a wonderful weekend at this property! Laura was so nice and responsive. We would love to stay there again the next time we visit Austin. ##### Lisa S.

It is \~20 min to Downtown Austin and \~20 min to Lake Travis. The house, pool and hot tub are large, clean and well kept. The communication with the house owner was seamless and she was ready to answer any question that we had. The stay was incredibly peaceful and fun and altogether a blast. Don't miss out on staying at this house!! ##### Emily M.
