Fun Activity House
House is comfortable and clean. Back yard has all the fun activities. We stayed only on night but made great use of the outdoor amenities. We had one minor issue with the house and Jarrett was quick to respond and resolve. This is a great place for family fun and very convenient to coffee shops and groceries.

Cute little place in south austin
This was a cozy property with a huge backyard. It was perfect for our team to spend the afternoon brainstorming what we will be doing next year. The couch was comfy, we were able to cast our presentations onto the screen. When we were ready to take a break, it was nice to go outside and play some of the games available in the backyard. The host was super easy to work with. All over a great experience!

This is the cutest little property! Loved staying in the bungalow in the back, super cute and has its own bathroom and little kitchen area away from the main house. The place was fully stocked with everything you could need, ziplocks, coffee cream, even a blender for when we decided we need pina coladas! The host was absolutely amazing, responded immediately to every message. Check in and check out was a breeze! 10/10 for this one!
