About this apartment rental

Our property is located just west of downtown Austin and our home and our guest house are situated on 2 1/4 acres. We named it Campo de Paz (Place/Country of Peace) because it a very tranquil location and space. Here, you are just outside the hustle of the city, yet close enough to enjoy the best of both worlds; rejuvenate yourself in the countryside or explore all that Austin has to offer. Better yet, do both! The choice is yours! You are just minutes away from both Lake Austin, Lake Travis, The Hill Country Galleria, and plenty of great restaurants. Relax on your own private deck and watch for deer! Listen for owls and in the spring, you might be lucky enough to hear the whippoorwills. The charming one bedroom (approximately 255 square feet), one bath guest house is furnished with a comfy queen bed, walk-in shower, plenty of closet space, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and electric kettle. Gourmet Nespresso coffee and a selection of Tazo teas are provided. Freshly made chocolate chip cookies or other goodies will be waiting for you when you arrive. Free wi-fi is available along with a 32' TV (99 channels).

Beautiful slice of hill country right outside the city. Carolyn and Cap kindly greeted me on my arrival and made sure I'll be comfrotable for my stay. They were so kind to offer refreshments and made sure I there was a plate of Carolyns famous cookies. The hype is real! The house is close enough to get ubers to the city, and far out enough that the state parks are driving distance. Thanks again!

This place was great! The pics don’t do it justice. It’s quite bright and cozy. The high ceilings make this place feel much more spacious. Fantastic decor and ambience. The bed was comfortable. She greeted us with cookies that were soooo good! My only complaint is there are dishes like there’s a kitchen but no kitchen sink. You have to wash dishes in the bathroom sink, which isn’t the end of the world. Just know that ahead of time going into it. We bought dinner and didn’t realize. Otherwise, this place is perfect.

Great location! Centrally located to Downtown Austin, Dripping Springs, & Lake Travis--- this cozy retreat was ideal for a busy trip. I even got to take advantage of the deck and enjoy a beverage outside before bed a night or two. So peaceful. Carolyn and Cap were great hosts and checked in on me during my stay... Would definitely recommend!

Awesome place, very tranquil setting in the woods but just a short drive for dining, etc. Carolyn and Cap were the most gracious hosts and the homemade chocolate chips were a nice plus. Beautiful cabin decorated nicely with all the amenities you need. It was so peaceful as we sat on the porch with a glass of wine and watched deer roam thru.

We came for a relaxing weekend away and that is exactly what we got. This property is quiet, perfectly comfortable and in a great location if you want something close to the city. The hosts are so great. I have never stayed in a VRBO as well maintained as this. There is a lot of natural light in this space so bring an eye mask if you want to sleep in. Perfect stay for two!

If you're looking for a centrally located property with proximity to Austin as well as the outlying recreation to the west, this is the property. It's also a cool representation of Austin, from the peaceful grounds to the decorated interior.

Wonderful Valentines weekend stay in Austin!

Wonderful Valentines weekend stay in Austin!

We traveled to Austin for a weekend getaway and found this wonderful place to stay. Carolyn and Cap sent me an email the week before our arrival and asked me to text her when we arrived. They met us on the porch and welcomed us to their home. They gave us a brief overview of how to work the coffee maker, TV, and heater/AC unit, and showed us where they had left us a bottle of milk in the fridge for our coffee if we needed it, some homemade cookies that Carolyn had made (they were delicious and we at every one of them) and even a complementary bottle of wine as our valentines day gift. The bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay very much. The location is just outside of Austin, so are are still close enough to everything, but far enough away from the city to be in a very peaceful surroundings. Thank you Carolyn and Cap very much for everything!

Campo De Paz was a great place to stay for ACL! The property was quiet and peaceful. The place was updated and clean. The owners are amazing, so sweet and accommodating, they left a hand written note and made delicious cookies to welcome us! They also made great recommendations for local adventures, and even went out of their way to send some personal items that back to me that I left after our stay! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience in Austin!

Peaceful stay

We enjoyed our stay at Campo de Paz! Carolyn and Cap were super friendly couple who are renting out a nice in-law section of their property. It was very peaceful with a private porch. The owners wanted us to text them when we arrived so they could show us around and left the thoughtful touch of a hand-written note with homemade cookies in the room. They kept a list of nearby restaurants and told us of a nature trail we could have (and would have if we had time) walked through the woods. I gave the accuracy of the online listing 4 out of 5 stars only because I didn't realize there wasn't a full kitchen available. We brought food to cook breakfast for ourselves and didn't use it; it was not a big deal--we went to the quaintest, little delicious coffee shop for breakfast down the street, The Civil Goat. We would easily return again!

Cap and Carolyn’s place had everything we needed for our weekend. The bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was so nice! And don’t get me started on Carolyn’s cookies. I even ate those for breakfast both days we were there. The other little touches were much appreciated. It was storming for part of our stay so we didn’t get to explore the property much but from what I could see, it looked really peaceful. We would love to stay here again when in town.

We had a wonderful stay at Campo de Paz!! This is a beautiful, well-decorated house situated on a lovely, private piece of property. We saw four deer on our walk and enjoyed watching the birds while we sat on the deck. Cap and Carolyn are very welcoming hosts who have thought of every detail! We also opted to add breakfast to our stay, and everything was so good! We would definitely recommend this little retreat!!

Perfect place for a little getaway. Close to all Austin has to offer but when you are on the deck at Campo de Paz, it feels like you are in the countryside. We saw deer grazing in the yard! Wonderful stay.
