If you are looking for a heavenly place to stay, look no further! We just returned from our daughter's graduation from UT and rented the house for the weekend. Not only was it the perfect place to stay, it was the perfect place to entertain family and friends with a small party to celebrate. The house is very large, very clean, and very unique. It is filled with interesting art and has a library with interesting books and magazines. We loved the pool as it feels like you are secluded from the city but really only steps away from all the excitement Austin has to offer. Virginia is the best hostess ever and is willing to help in any way she can to make your stay one you will never forget. I would highly recommend this house to all my friends and family. All that came to the party are already planning their own stay there soon and we cannot wait to go back for another visit!
Owner's Response: Dear Jennifer,

I felt so honored to help provide a place for such a great occasion as your daughter's graduation. It makes me feel so good that our home can host special occasions as yours You and your guests were friendly, kind, respectful, and left the house clean as a whistle. I am so grateful that you chose to stay here and hope that you will come stay here next time you are in Austin! It was an absolute pleasure to host you all and while you seemed to have a celebration with guests, I would have never known by how clean you left the house. I look forward to you coming again and thank you again, Jennifer. You really have a great family!

Myself and several other Abilene Fire Fighters decided to come to Austin for a Tough Mudder Event. After we saw Virginia's beautiful house we knew we had found the perfect place to rest before and recover after the event. I'm not sure she knew what to expect when we started piling in, but she was a very gracious hostess and made everyone feel welcome. The house is very spacious and we had plenty of room for everyone. Having the use of her blender to make protein shakes before that tough event was critical. If that wasn't helpful enough, we were very happy to hire Virginia (a licensed massage therapist) to help a couple of us recover from the Mudder event in her on site massage studio.
Thank you Virginia for helping us have a great weekend.
Owner's Response: We welcome you and everyone for all events, competitions, festivals, and just relaxing times in Austin, Texas at our Rare Secluded 1940s Estate. And thank you Abilene Fire Fighters for being so respectful and appreciative of our home. We were happy to host you all to recover from this competition of extreme endurance and congratulations for completing the Tough Mudder Competition. You were true gentlemen and I am so glad that you felt welcome.
I must admit that when you all pulled up in your big trucks, I wasn't sure where you would all park, but you had the finesse of our driveway and it was amazing that you were all turned around and ready to go! Everyone loves firemen and now I know why beyond the fact that you save lives and put yourselves out on the line for us all. You were the absolute greatest guests, such fine gentlemen and I was happy to host you and give you professional massages to help you unwind after that rigorous competition. Thank you again and we hope to see you again for your next Tough Mudder Competition, or relaxing vacation!

This house is a gem. It is not a cookie cutter tract home but a thoughtful elegant escape residence away from the noise and haste but still just minutes away from everything "Austin".
I would stay again in a heart beat.
Owner's Response: And we would roll out the red carpet for a such a wonderful friend like you. Thank you for your devotion to our family. You are the gem, my generous friend! The greats are smiling over you now. You are a blessing and you are blessed. Thank you for being such a beautiful spirit.
