About Valerie Granoff

Joel and Valerie are fortunate to occupy this beautiful, remodeled contemporary home. Valerie attended the University of Texas and didn't leave and Joel joined her as an Austinite in 2000. We have 3 wonderful boys that range in age from 5-20. We love the outdoors, our 3 laying hens and beautiful orange trees and vegetable garden. Our favorite way to spend the evening is grilling on the deck, swimming and watching the sun set over the hills!

Valerie Granoff purchased this house in 2003
Why Valerie Granoff chose Austin

We couldn't resist the incredible backyard with the beautiful view, orange tree and serenity of trees and hills. The layout of our home is wonderful for entertaining and its central location allows us to take advantage of all that Austin has to offer without having to drive far.

Fantastic Weekend Getaway

4 of 5
Submitted: April 10, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
We were a group of 8 ladies in Austin for a bachelorette, and wanted a mix of going out downtown and relaxing / cooking at the house. This place was perfect - very convenient (20 min) to downtown and to Lake Austin (15-20 min), where we rented a boat. The kitchen was very well-stocked, and we had a great time cooking at home on Saturday night. Also amazing views from the pool / good space. Thanks for a great weekend!

Best trip in years!

This was an amazing house with every amenity I wish I had in my own home. We were able to relax, grill out and thoroughly enjoy ourselves. The pool deck was a great place to have cocktails and enjoy the views! The neighbor hood is a quick drive or an easy cab ride to downtown. And not to go unnoticed, the chickens provided many laughs and fresh eggs every day. :-) I hope to return next year!

Amazing weekend

Valerie and Joel's home was amazing and they were awesome host! They had everything you could possibly need and were very responsive to questions. 9 girls stayed for a bachelorette weekend, and there was more than enough space. Their pool was one of the best parts about staying at this house, the view from that back deck was beautiful. The house was very accessible to downtown, only about 15-20 minute drive. I would recommend this house to anyone! Thank you Valerie and Joel!

lovely and perfect

5 of 5
Submitted: August 23, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
We rented the house to receive our family and friends during my daughter's wedding weekend, since we live out of state. Among our requirements was a pool (in case of brutally hot Austin weather) and an ample kitchen and a large open living area since we might have a couple of dozen people dropping by to visit the bride and finish the last minute preparations. The house fit the bill perfectly, was exactly as advertised, impeccably clean, and the homeowner was unbelievably kind, generous, and helpful. It seemed everything we even thought of needing was already there. We felt welcomed as though we were staying in the home of dear friends. However, I must say I'm finding it very hard to give a great review---now everyone will know about it! Who knows when we might want to come back to Austin again and have our own magnificent vacation home?
