About this house rental
Relax, unwind with family and friends at our Hill Country Ranch. The 3600 square foot ranch home was designed for Hill Country relaxation. Large covered porches overlook a private pool with magnificent fiery sunset views of the Live Oak covered Hill Country.
Enjoy breakfast on the porch with the songbirds. During the day get a book and enjoy the secret garden or one of the meditation areas among the garden paths. Hike in the privacy of our 65 acres including intermittent streams, a waterfall and trickling clear water pools where wild flowers abound year round.
In the evening gather around the large fire pit area and cook hot dogs or s'mores under the stars. Deer, quail, fox, turkey and song birds are frequent backyard ranch visitors.

Bill's property was amazing! Room enough for all 10 of us! Every couple had their own room. The pool and patio were perfect for just lounging all day. Kitchen had everything we needed when it came time to make dinner. We ended every day at the fire pit. Bill's place was the perfect place for our Labor Day weekend!

Lovely house and property. Extended family stayed to attend and celebrate a graduation at UT and it was a perfect getaway! We will definitely come back!

I stayed with just 1 friend (I know, overdid it) and realized it was a 12 person stay! We of course had a lot of room, which was really nice.
The house has character, unlike a lot of this boring modern style that other houses have that are stale and standardized. This one feels more like a home, with style.
The property is at the very end of a private street, and a long driveway so the house is tucked away in its own private area. Therefor, quiet, peaceful, private, and relaxing
Plenty of appliances, cookware, and everything need to grill, entertain, and relax.
The pool area has a beautiful view into the yard and forest, where deer walk by each day. There are paths to go on walks which we failed to explore, but are right out the back yard.
I'd stay here again for sure.

Plenty of room for our family and property manager was ver responsive to a few issues that arose (missing lightbulbs, not enough towels). House could use some updating and household essentials could be better stocked (paper products, TV/music system was very dated). The bunk room is not adequate for adults and there is no easy bathroom access (have to walk outside; probably fine for kids.)

You can stop your search for a vacation rental property, because you've just found the jackpot!
This property is an excellent sanctuary, which provided a space for a weekend with friends and family. It was exactly as described in the listing, if not even better than described. We felt so welcome
The owner has provided everything we could possibly require. The beds were very comfortable. The pool and game room were amazing.
10.0 / 10.0
This is a truly one-of-a-kind property. 60+ private acres just a stone's throw from Austin/Lake Travis. The house has a nice layout, with 3 rooms in the main house and 3 separate rooms/bunk rooms with their own entry doors and adjoining facilities surrounding the swimming pool. The "great room" is super comfortable with high (really high) ceiling and glass windows all along the back of the house. The acreage surrounding the house is beautiful and quintessential hill country: rocky limestone and cedar with lots of hills, steep ravines, creeks and trails for hiking. There are lots of deer on and other wildlife on the property. This is a real oasis in the middle of an otherwise highly developed area (which means you're close to any stores/restaurants etc. you might want to visit). We look forward to coming back.

This was our second time with the same group at this property. The pool and backyard have such a cool vibe. The property is well maintained, with plenty of big open areas for our group. Thanks again!

Perfection Ranch
This beautiful ranch home in the Texas Hill Country was perfect for our annual family getaway. Our grandchildren loved the playing in the game room, swimming in the pool, and exploring the grounds. This home has everything, from pool toys to kitchen necessities, that a family needs to enjoy time together. Thank you very much for sharing your home with us. Our memories will last a lifetime!

Great retreat for family or large groups
This property is beautiful and comes equip with EVERYTHING you need! The kitchen is a chefs dream. There was plenty of room for a large group. The only hiccup we faced was the water. From time to time, it shuts off. May even shut off while you are in mid shower or cooking. Other than that, it was a great stay. Management (Bill) was very responsive and acted quick on any issues we faced.

Family gathering
Perfect space for a re-gathering of the family for my nephews wedding. House is a wonderful space in a wonderful space: sitting on the porch watching the birds was wonderfully relaxing. The kitchen had everything one could need to provide wonderful family meals and the bedrooms are more than comfy! Thanks for a wonderful stay - would highly recommend this property and hope to visit again soon!

Fun Family Get-together
Our family had a great time at this property. The house was beautiful and spacious, as was the porch surrounding the back of the house. Plenty of seating and areas to eat outdoors and relax. The pool was perfect for us and the kids loved it. It kept them entertained for hours and was fun for the adults as well. The "bunk room" wasn't connected to the main room in the pool house, so that might be a concern for people with kids. Overall, a wonderful stay!

Serene setting, lovely pool
Really lovely setting in midst of scrub oaks with great outdoor spaces and a lovely pool. Very serene with deer and birds passing through. Good for families with a large kitchen and nice pool/card game room. We really enjoyed the porches and pool, as well as walking the trail on the property. The pool house provides a nice way to give people space with a queen bed room, and a (really small) bunk room. Guest Bathroom situation in the house is a bit odd and there was no dish, laundry or bath soap. Also, the main house smelled strongly of cigarette smoke when we arrived.

Birthday get away
This property was amazing to say the least! There was more than enough space for everyone in the party, as well as so much to do. The pool was a perfect size, and everything was very clean! The location was great as well only 30mins away from lake Travis ! Overall one of the most memorable vacays largely due to this property.

Oasis at Lake Travis
We stayed here to celebrate our son's 16th birthday. The house and property offered privacy, quiet and relaxation. There was plenty for everyone to do there, between the pool, game room and fire pit. Kitchen was stocked with everything you would need to provide meals. Would definitely stay here again!

Nice area
The view was cool. Mosquito problem could be addressed. The instructions for check in are a little confusing. The code given is inaccurate. It took guessing on our behalf and a text confirmation to solidify our educated guess. The pool is nice (a little chilly). Curtains in the bunk bed room would help tremendously. All in all it was a wonderful weekend!

Best Place in Texas!
Our family spent the 4th of July weekend at this amazing house. We had so much fun in the pool and feeding the deer. Our grandkids were never bored because there is so much to do there. We enjoyed every meal out on the back patio. For it to be July and a 100 degrees you would never know it. With all the trees and the constant breeze the weather was perfect. We would absolutely come back!

Quick escape.
Theo house accommodated 3 families with 2 children each ranging from 1 to 12. There was enough room for everyone and lots of things to do indoors but mainly outdoors with the pool and the fire pit. We noted few things that were communicated to the owner for them to be fixed for next guests. Would recommend the property.

Disappointed.
Cleanliness was a big issue. Moldy lemons in juicer, used bars of soap in showers, dead bugs everywhere. You’d think it would be better maintained due to the global pandemic. Code for community gate did not work either.

Clean and spacious!
We had such a great experience and loved the house! The size was great for our group. The living area and kitchen was big enough to where we didn’t feel like we were sitting on top of each other! The pool was amazing and so were the rest of the amenities. Will definitely be back!

Relaxing Weekend Getaway
We had a wonderful time! There is plenty of space inside and outside the home to lounge around. Beautiful home! Loved the privacy and serene environment. We were able to see deer in the backyard. We enjoyed the gameroom and swimming pool. Bring mosquito repellant and citronella candles. It is a very clean home, but housekeeping needs to do a better job of dusting (light fixtures). Kitchen needs a couple of new pots and pans. I would definitely return to this property. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Nice home, beautiful land but dated and dirty.
When we found this house we were excited to have the opportunity to rent it. Renting thru Home away was a bit of a challenge, not nearly as good as the other site we frequent but Bill helped us thru and we got it booked. The pictures are beautiful on the site, we were super excited to stay here.
Just a note we are a family of 8 and rent homes all over the nation as we travel about every 3 months. My review is a honest take in comparison to other homes we have rented recently.
The house from the exterior is beautiful, could use a power washing but very nice architecture. The back yard and land surrounding are incredible. It seems it’s been a while since it’s been well cared for but in its prime it must have been unbelievable. We spent most of our time outside and it really gave us everything we were looking for in this trip. The pool is great in the hot summer sun and we used it like crazy.
The interior of the home is nice, not exquisite the furnishings are a bit dated and, the home is as well. Could use a fresh coat of paint. When we arrived the house didn’t have water, but this was fixed quickly. We also Are a large family and the septic alarm woke us a few times with high water alarms. We wore shoes in the house because the floors were filthy. We actually got out a vacuum to clean a mess and the grout went from black to light grey...yuck. There are bugs smashed on the walls, and dirty handprints thru out. Bugs smashed on counter tops as well. The kitchen tho large has seen better days as well, and for the heavy cooker needs quite a bit. The worse part of the entire stay was after day one we threw in the towel on kitchen dishes and bought plastic utensils and paper plates. Every item we tried to use was dirty with food and such from previous users.
I’m the end we made the best of our stay. We had fun and the Home served it purpose. I think with the proper cleaning team and a little bit of maintenance this would be a awesome find.

Beautiful property, great management service
Booked for a Mother's Day trip with extended family. The house and surrounding property are gorgeous. There's large, shaded porch areas that are great for lounging outside, and long paths around the ranch that allow for Hill Country hiking without leaving the grounds. The management service was fantastic - responding promptly and graciously to any questions or requests.

Fabulous and well maintained home!!
This property is great! It has everything that you will need to enjoy your stay. The pool, patio, game room, and everything else included in the listing is " on point". The kitchen is well equipped for all cooking needs, and if you enjoy outdoor cooking, there is a gas grill.
The rooms are large and clean, and the furniture is not off putting, so you can easily relax indoors as well as outdoors.
There's simply too much to convey in this review. I say, " book it!" And you won't regret it!!!
Jim, the manager is always available, with a professional " how can I help" attitude. He helped make our stay absolutely perfect by addressing any questions and resolving small issues quickly.
We will be back, thanks Jim!!!

Relaxing easy stay
The home was well laid out and put together, kitchen relatively well stocked and the land and outdoor areas were beautiful. Great outdoor space and tons of room for fun. Securely fenced so the dogs could roam, which was amazing. The owners/rental co were very laid back which made the home feel more welcoming and easy. Definitely want to stay here again!

Gorgeous home in peaceful setting
This home is a parade of windows looking out onto the tree-lined property. An open, family-friendly home, we loved the setting and the outdoor porch so much we ate in every night! The sunsets from the pool/patio area were beautiful. There's a nice fire pit too and the pool table is a fun bonus. We had our dog with us and he loved roaming around the property and chasing a few deer. The guest house is beautiful and handy if you need it. The house is in a pretty remote setting. Note: the main house has only 2 bedrooms and only the Master BR has an en-suite bathroom. The only other bathroom in the main house is off the kitchen.

Great property! Beautiful and Calm
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Escalon Ranch. The home was beautiful and spacious. There was plenty of room for all of us to be able to spread out. The grounds are well kept and has an incredible view of the Hill Country. The pool and outside area were great. We enjoyed grilling food and hanging out around the pool pretty much the entire visit. The game room was expectionally fun as well. Bill did a great job of making sure that everything was ready when we arrived. A great experience overall and we plan on staying there again next year.
