Nice little mid century modern hill, country stay

This is a nice little mid-century modern house on an expansive lot with great hill country views. Great outdoor places to sit and enjoy the location. Wonderful lot for our German shorthair pointer to explore!

A Nice Little Break

We had a wonderful time. The property was very clean and we loved all the lights on the trees outside and in the enclosed patio. There were some board games and it was great just to sit back and unwind. Thank you so much for making this quick getaway for our family so fun.

This is a must stay, beautiful, roomy rental. You will not be disappointed by choosing to stay at this retreat. Everything is just like the pictures and it’s all even better in person. Kat and Tony are super friendly hosts and great communicators. We had a stress free stay with clear instructions that answered our every question. 10/10 recommend and would book again!

Just as advertised

Property as described/pictured--older home with updated interior, large yard, on lake (dry at time of visit) that is quiet and somewhat remote but 15-20 minutes from most of what you need. Hosts attentive and responsive to concerns--would stay again.

It's Lovely!

The property was beautiful. We needed a one-story home for our mobility-impaired family member, and this home was excellent. We were able to spread out and relax. Everything was clean, and we had everything we needed. The owner was very responsive and so easy to work with. Will rent again if MIL returns for another visit!

Perfect setting!

Gender Reveal of our first grandchild! Great open space. Too hot to go outside for very long but everyone was comfortable inside. Sitting on the covered porch that evening with the fans going was comfortable and so peaceful. We slept like babies on the super comfortable bed. Coffee on the porch in the morning was just as peaceful. If back in the area we will defiantly stay here again.

Relax and Rejuvenate at Kathleen's Retreat

We enjoyed espresso on the back porch while the dogs had the time of their life patrolling the fenced-in, beautiful property. The charming home is nicely updated with new appliances and thoughtful, well-appointed amenities throughout. Kathleen provides many thoughtful touches that makes one feel welcomed and at home. Kitchen is well stocked, comfy beds have plush bedding and pillows, and several outdoor areas are great for hanging out and enjoying nature. We look forward to returning to Kathleen's cozy retreat!

Great quiet getaway

We reserved this property over the Thanksgiving holiday. Overall the home was great. It was very comfortable. Check-in and check-out process was super easy and communication with the owner was clear and hyper-responsive. The owner proactively let me know that the 2nd bedroom was detached from the main home as they knew my children were staying. They are adult children so it was not a problem but I really appreciated the owner thinking of this. The best part of this property is the backyard where there is plenty of room, large trees, a fire pit, and a nice screened-in porch area. Once the lake fills back up it will be even better but we didnt mind. Just sitting by the fire pit with my family gazing at the stars was perfect.

Awesome place to stay!

Great beds (we're bed snobs). The layout is different, but very functional, extremely comfortable, and a bonus. The neighborhood is quiet and we really enjoyed the large yard. The only downside is that Lake Travis is a mess. Kat is good to deal with and responsive, so we plan on returning. Thanks Kat!
