Kristen's casitas are a great place to get away for the weekend. It's at a great location, not far from the downtown Austin area. Super close to all the great food and adventure that Austin offers. The directions Kristen provides are pretty spot on. We had no trouble finding the driveway nor the cabin.
Casita #4 is a small elevated cabin on a nice, secluded, property. One bed, one bath, studio type, but it has everything you need. You share the deck with her studio so you might see her or some others walking in and out. There is one wall-mounted A/C unit that kept the cabin at a cool temperature. There is also a tv with roku so we were able to put on some background movies when we relaxed inside.
The property is very similar to a campground, in a sense that you are in the woods. I'm not a foreigner to camping so I was expecting to see the typical bugs and critters you'd find in nature. Overall, not a big deal to me. Honestly it was a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Just behind the cabin, less than 50 yards away, is a creek that is backed by a cliff. The creek was pretty dry since we visited in in late-June, but we were able to walk around and explore a little bit. We brought our 3 year old corgi and he had a blast! There's also a nice walking path that hugs the creek.
I would definitely visit again, but I would time it right so there is water in the creek to enhance the experience :)
