The property is fenced and very well groomed and perfect for our dog. The kitchen is well equipped. Home very comfortable too. Quiet and safe neighborhood. I walked daily at Commons Ford, so beautiful! Steve is the perfect host!! ##### Becky M.

We often travel with our dog and it is hard to find a nice yard with good fencing. This property had everything we needed. The home was in great condition and very nicely decorated. The check-in and check-out process was the easiest we have had with a short term rental. This is definitely a place we will tell our friends and family about. Steve was a great host! ##### Diana R.

The Retreat was the perfect place for our stay. Steve and Tessie Mae were excellent hosts! He even had snacks waiting for my family since we arrived so late. So very thoughtful. 😊 I would highly recommend this location for anyone visiting the Austin area. We would certainly love to stay here again. ##### Kimberly P.

We use VRBO a lot and this property is one of the best. We were in town for a wedding and needed space for our family of 4 and our dog. This house and host were perfect! The house is like a home away from home and the property is beautiful and spacious. Getting to know Steve and his sweet dog, Tessie Mae, were a bonus to our stay. Steve even took care of our dog while we were at the wedding! ##### Susan L.
