We were visiting Austin to search for our new home (relocating from California) and needed a location that was central to our search area...Katherine's place was ideal and exceeded our expectations! You can never go wrong with an attentive, responsive, and gracious host such as Katherine. Communication with us was ongoing yet not intrusive. Her house was AMAZING to begin with - sizable & charming home, on the farm with the animais, in a quiet setting. Our 7-year old son had the best time with the horses on the property and cannot stop talking about the experience. We had the good fortune (yes, I said good fortune!) to visit during a recent storm that knocked out power for several hours during the evening. Katherine checked in on us, making sure our needs were met given the power outage and had her husband come out and provide us with an add'l flashlight as the one we had was not quite bright enough. The little touches added to our memorable experience - fresh bread, farm-fresh eggs, freshly squeezed orange juice, INCREDIBLE lemon cookies....why would you want to stay anywhere else? We can't thank Katherine and Tom enough for welcoming us on their property and making us feel at home!
