Lodging with the Darcys
Since the purpose of my trip was to work on my novel-in-process, I needed to stay in place that ignited imagination, fostered creativity and encouraged out-of-the-box thinking. Man, did I find the right place.
Not only warm and hospitable, the Darcys and their home were more than I could have hoped for. Word count goals were met in my cave of a room as colorful, stained glass filtered light danced across the smooth curves of the walls. Chickens, bees, Hector (the lion of a Newfoundland) and flora of all varieties served to enhance the stay; as did, the friendly personalities of my hosts.
If you want a cookie-cutter, lack-luster experience, don't choose The Maison. However, if you're seeking the comforts of home away from home with a hint of adventure and a beautiful dose of artistic flare, you won't find a better place to stay in the Austin area.
Technical details: close to major roadways, easy access to grocery & gas, private bathroom, kitchen access, dependable/complimentary wifi, towels & linens provided and rooms are as represented in photographs.
I will be back to stay with the Darcys! Maybe to celebrate the publication of my novel next year. Thank you! :-)
