Ok, this is going to be long - so let me start by saying our stay was amazing! Perfect 10. Couldn't have been any better. Now here are some of the many reasons why:

Kelly is an phenomenal host. She has literally thought of everything. She's super informative, has lots of suggestions for the area, will answer any question you can think of, and is super quick to respond to texts. She had fresh flowers and delicious snacks waiting for us (even dog biscuits for the puppy)! Oh and all the makings for smores, which were a huge hit!

Directions where clear and accessing the property was very easy (electronic key pad - didn't have to fight with those old school lock boxes). The place is immaculate, the building is brand new and she has it stocked with everything you could possibly need.

The decor is spot on. Barn-sheek with a modern twist. My whole family was impressed, even the kids. I love the wide open studio-like space. Has a private bedroom too. The roll up doors let in a lot of light, so it's bright and airy. It was a perfect change of pace from our normal city life. Porch swings and rocking chars...it really is adorable. Add to that the chickens in the yard - we really didn't want to leave.

We didn't go into Austin because of the music festival going on, but there's so much to do outside of the city. The Rusty Mule is a mile away and a great hangout spot for a laid back dinner and drinks (open air/dog friendly). There's a cute park in the neighborhood. 15 minute drive to Hamilton Pool (an absolute must see). 20 minute drive to Lake Travis - rent a boat/paddleboards/jetskies (Lakeway Marina was great).

All in all, we had such a wonderful trip. The barn has such a good vibe - words don't do it justice. Of all of our vrbo and airbnb trips, this has been our favorite place. We will definitely be back!!
