'I honestly do believe this was the best Airbnb that I have ever stayed at. It was so cute and cozy, right when you walked in large open windows create a nice bright ambience. The house had lots of great little items of necessities that were accessible for guests to use. Walking distance from a public beautiful lake with a beach thats great for the kids. My absolute favorite part is that the neighbors across the street feed the deer in the neighborhood both in the morning and then the evening so my husband and children and I got to enjoy watching the deer eat every day that we were there without fail. We also purchased apples at the grocery store to be able to feed them. It was truly just an amazing house and an amazing host and we loved absolutely everything about it. It was our favorite place of our entire vacation.'

'We all enjoyed our stay very much. The home was spacious but still felt very cozy. We encountered a family of deer and other cute lizard friends and it enriched our evening! The proximity to the water is just a quick drive. If you needed anything, there was a fully loaded Valero 4 minutes away! The amenities provided were in working order and well taken care of. It was very clear that the host thought of everything you could possibly need - even down to the plastic wrap. The pictures do not do this place justice and the bathrooms were immaculate. We cant wait to book again!'

'If you want a great place to stay thats both off the beaten path while still being close enough to Austin to do all the things, this is the place for you. The neighborhood is quiet but the people are very friendly. The river is a short walk from the front door. Grabbing an Uber or Lyft was never more than a 5-10 minute wait. And the backyard is huge and perfect for a relaxing evening. For our annual guys trip, this place was ideal. We had a fantastic time. You will, too.'

'Manuel is a super host. The house is nestled in a very cute neighborhood. Lovely place to stay to relax and enjoy the private park to swim. I highly recommend to stay - you will not be disappointed. Be aware that you will be surrounded by deer, it looks like the world of Snow White. The kitchen is perfect to cook. It feels homey! It was a beautiful weekend and will not hesitate to come back.'
