We were very surprised to learn the owners would be staying in the same house with us. We did not feel this was made clear in the description, we wouldn't have booked if we knew these were the circumstances Owners say you'll be in private separate areas but we had an unpleasant encounter with the owner on the first day when they accused us of bringing too many people and having one extra vehicle parked on the street (we had 10 guests and 4 vehicles for a 4 BR/3 bath house). The number of guests was discussed with the owner beforehand and we had even offered to pay extra, so the fact that there was an issue caught us off guard since this had already been addressed well before we arrived. Before our stay we recieved a very specific email detailing odd, very strict instructions for parking. Little did we know this was just a small indication of how our stay would go. There are strict, very intense rules about pretty much everything posted everywhere thoughtout the house and threats of fines for any infraction that we honestly just didn't feel comfortable or particularly welcome during our stay, especially with the owners just downstairs and the uncomfortable interaction we had with them. The house itself is spacious though it has a weird layout. The pool and patio area are breathtaking but beware - there's a substantial extra charge to use the jacuzzi on top of the regular rate you're already paying and you must give the owners at least three hours notice to heat it up?! Also there's of course a fine if you're found to be having a party which is specifically defined in the house rule book as "three or more people." It is 2019. One would hope a group of adults knows how to be good house guests without the need for constant threats of fines and rules, and the feeling we are being watched. This is not the experience we had hoped for on our trip.

We had a wonderful time here. Will definitely recommend this property to others!

Iris is a wonderful host and her home is beautiful. Thank you for a home away from home stay.

We spent four days in Austin and loved the house. The view from the patio really made this an escape for us. We loved having meals on the patio and relaxing in the evening. Plenty of space in the kitchen and living areas inside. And the bedrooms were all large and well spaced so we could all sleep in if we wanted to. Location was great with shopping close by. Great spot!

We were in Austin for a college girls reunion, there were 6 of us from all over the country. Iris could NOT have been a better host and her home was INCREDIBLE. The pictures dont do the property justice, it was our private oasis plus they had just added a brand new gorgeous infinity pool and jacuzzi that made us feel like we were on a tropical island! Grocery stores and shopping were minutes away and we drank coffee and ate breakfast on the deck every morning. We took Uber downtown both nights for dinner and to enjoy the Austin nightlife and it was seamless. Would recommend for anyone traveling to Austin to take advantage of the amazing home and area!We will be back!!

I rented the home for the weekend and we had a great time! It was everything we expected and more....the home have some of the most beautiful views of Austin and the owner is very accommodating to her quest !!!

The view and the house were first class. We had 5 adults and there was plenty of room and privacy for all. Spent most of our time outside on the patio!! The owners do live on the first floor but you don't even realize it. Upstairs and entrance is 100% private. Truly is like two separate houses. Will definitely return.

The views were amazing and the house was really beautiful . Everything you needed was provided. The kitchen could be better stocked. The beds were comfortable. We would stay again.

Awesome homeowner. Awesome home and perfect view of the Austin hill country. Everything we hoped for.

The location of this home was perfect for us. The layout was great and we loved the size of the rooms. They could use a bit more basic supplies just as soap and towels.

We had a relaxing vacation at this lovely home in the West Lake Hills. Four lovely bedrooms with bathrooms were perfect for our two little grandchildren, daughter, son in law, and friends. All was lovely. Just to note the owners live on the first floor while our accommodations were on the second floor, but it was all very private and they could not hear us and we could not hear them as it is sealed off.

Situated about halfway in between Lake Travis and downtown Austin, this rental is perfect for those looking to experience both the city scene and lake activities. The hill country view was amazing, as advertised. All rooms are spacious and comfortable. The hosts are friendly, attentive and helpful. Highly recommend this property!

Property was exactly as advertised. The balcony had an extraordinary view for morning coffee or wine in the evening. The neighborhood was great. Loved taking morning walks and seeing the deer. The beds were comfortable and AC was great. Plenty of bathroom space for everyone. The kitchen was a great size with all the amendities. The hosts were very attentive and quick to help if we needed them! They were a delight and this property really made our vacation to Austin special and we definitely plan on returning!

House is amazing and property owner is fantastic to work with!

This beautiful property is exactly as advertised. Just as pretty as the pictures. Great layout for 8 people. We were very comfortable. The house was immaculate. The owners were very nice and helpful. I highly recommend this house. Beautiful view of the hills yet close to downtown.
