I loved my stay at Jim O's "farmette". I stayed in the Tiny Tiny House which was perfect for my stay while I was at Austin's Psych Fest (a music festival). Jim gave me a tour of the property when I arrived, and made me feel welcome. I loved the goats and chickens, the garden and the fact that they collected rain water and gray water to use to water plants and flush toilets. Really awesome! The property was lush and green in May when I visited. The linens freshly cleaned. The composting toilet was surprisingly odor free - unlike the latrines I've used at most campsites. The outdoor shower was hot and felt adventurous. I am an avid camper so this was like deluxe camping to me - a step above actually since I had air conditioning, a comfortable bed and electricity in the Tiny house. I wouldn't recommend it to 2 people, you'd never be able to sleep 2 in the bed, nevertheless it was perfect for one!. I am 5'4 and I was able to stand up comfortably in the house, but maybe those 6 ft or more may have to stoop. There was also and outdoor shared kitchen & fridge which came in handy for storing food and drinks. I didn't cook other than toast bread, but the fact that I could have was a plus. The next stay I will rent a car, rather than rely on taxis, Lyft and Uber. Only because I think it may have been less expensive (always watching my budget). There are places within a 10-20 min walking distance for groceries, CVS, liquor store and a Lowes. I took advantage of those.
Overall I loved the atmosphere and the people living on the farmette were friendly and warm. Was just what I was looking for in my stay in Austin! I'll definitely be back when I stay in Austin again!
