Like a high-end hotel room, this well-appointed suite with small kitchen on unique 10-acre urban ranch is situated in the middle of bustling South Austin. Enjoy stunning sunsets over the hills through a wall of windows or from your private patio. Fantastic birdwatching, wildflowers, and deer sightings on the property. Perfect for those looking for an inspiring retreat with the conveniences of the city. You won't believe you're only 15 minutes from downtown Austin!

Age 25+

The space
Enjoy a cup of coffee or tea while you work on your laptop at the coffee bar! Cook meals in the well-equipped kitchenette or enjoy many different local options for food delivery or dining! Take in the beautiful landscape over a glass of wine from the patio in the evening! Cleanse yourself in the large rainfall shower! Melt into the king-sized memory foam bed and wake up to the songs of birds and deer grazing around in the morning!

Manager is a superhost and lives nearby.
Attached to a 3-1.5 guest house with a shared laundry facility separating the units; see Lars's other listings if you would like to book the entire 1940's farmhouse!

We have a strict no party rule unless both units are rented by the group.

*Lanscaping note: This is not just an urban oasis for us humans, but also something of a refuge for the wildlife as the ever-growing city encroaches on us. This means that at times, we allow the fields to go wild to allow wildflowers to grow and to provide food and habitat for all the animals and insects. You are likely to see cardinals, finches, hawks, deer, foxes, butterflies, moths, bees, and more! During these periods, the property can look less maintained than many are used to. That being said, we do strive to keep the yards in the immediate vicinity of the house well-groomed so our guests may enjoy the outdoors. In this way we strive to peacefully coexist with the nature that surrounds us and provide our guests with a unique experience and a new perspective on our relationship with the earth. We hope you enjoy this experience!

Guest access
Two parking spaces available outside of unit. More parking available upon request!

You are welcome to walk around and enjoy the property, but please do not go through any gates or fences or enter any structures other than your rental! Feel free to walk around and enjoy the beautiful nature, just be aware that you are on a ranch and there is wildlife! Do not stray far from the house at night as you could startle a deer or fox. Also, there are beehives at the back of the property. They are highly visible; the bees are not aggressive, but it’s smart to give them space.

Other things to note
Noon checkout time is the latest possible time our guests may depart without incurring a fee. Please note that failure to depart on time will result in additional charges. Please respect the cleaning team and fellow guests by communicating departure time and leaving the house in good condition!

While we have a strict 3-night minimum for weekend stays, we are sometimes able to accommodate single or two-night stays on weekdays - just ask!

There is a possibility of noise in the neighborhood - occasionally neighbors have parties with loud music or there are bands rehearsing in the area. Most are respectful of local sound ordinances and quiet hours. There is also a possibility of sound bleed from the adjoining house.

This is a property on some acreage, so you will see wildlife and insects/arachnids around. While we do employ regular pest control services, there is a chance that bugs will occasionally make it into the unit, especially when it is very dry/hot or rainy.
