About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Peaceful retreat near Lake Austin and Lake Travis. Fifteen minutes to downtown.

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).
Make yourself comfortable in your air-conditioned apartment, featuring a refrigerator and a microwave. There's a private balcony or patio. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. The bathroom has a shower and a hair dryer.
Take in the views from a garden.
Breakfast is available for a fee.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Hill country gem
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.

I received a really nice and warm welcome from Carolyn and Cap. Lovely room. Very quiet and had everything I needed for my stay near Austin. Which was just a 10 minute drive away. I would love to stay here again if I'm ever back in the woods. Highly recommended.

Perfect retreat for a busy trip!
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 for a Peaceful Stay.
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.

Peaceful retreat
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.
