Property details

Enjoy the calm and quiet surroundings during your stay. There's lots of wildlife and birds to enjoy while sitting on the porch or in the hammocks in the yard and star gazing at night. We are a short 20-minute drive to downtown and easy access to both I35 and Mopac so getting anywhere is just a short drive. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook meals or explore the many options for dining out nearby. The property is on one acre and the little house is surrounded by large trees and is secluded from the main house. The little house was built in 2017 and has a dedicated bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen and living room is open and feels very spacious. The house is 480 sq ft and includes everything one would need for a long-term stay. The porch is a great place to enjoy your coffee in the mornings while you watch the deer and birds nearby. You’ll have access to the back half acre, shared with lots of wildlife. There’s a large front yard with two hammocks and the porch includes a sitting area. Pets are welcome but need to be supervised and on a leash while outside because the fence isn’t secure around the entire property. There's ample parking on site and the expansive driveway will accommodate several cars. The host lives on the property and is available by phone or text for anything the guests might need. Mary Moore Searight park is within walking distance from the house where you can walk along Slaughter Creek. All the houses in the neighborhood are on at least 1 acre so it feels very secluded especially in the back where the guest house is at. It’s very quiet and you can enjoy the stars at night. There are many grocery stores, restaurants and bars a short drive away and there is plenty of parking in the main driveway. We are on a septic system so please, only paper in the toilet and no food or grease in the kitchen sink. All pets should be neutered and are limited to 2 per booking. Guests are responsible for any damages incurred by their pets and aren’t allowed on the furniture or bed. We are on a septic system, so only toilet paper in the toilet and no cooking grease in the sink. No guns are allowed on the property. If something is damaged during a stay, please message the host immediately.

We had a hard time with our previous Airbnb and ended up not booking Julie’s place until 10:30 pm at night and Julie was so gracious she immediately said she’d turn the porch light on for us and I instantly knew we’d be taken care of there. The home is wonderful, close to things but also feels so secluded and nature all around. Everything is pristine and also cleaned with natural cleaner so when you arrive it smells wonderful and inviting to the body, not full of chemicals like most. Loved that so much. And the vibe is wonderful. Thank you again Julie for everything.

Julie's place was perfect for our weekend getaway in Austin! We loved how quiet and peaceful the neighborhood was and how much you can tell that Julie cares about the environment and the local wildlife by our stay at her home (something very important to us in our lives!). We saw quite a few deer and their babies and it was perfect getting to watch them in the mornings while drinking our coffee. The house was super clean and had everything we needed! Julie was very sweet and super helpful to us throughout our stay! We got in super late the first night and she made sure to check in and make sure we got in safely and found our way to the house with no issues. We will definitely be staying at Julie's place again during our future Austin trips!

We stayed at Julie’s while we were in between homes and could not have been more comfortable. Stayed for 3 weeks with pets and we all enjoyed the location, seclusion and how quiet it was. Would absolutely recommend.
