This is our second time staying at Jessica’s family home. This time it was for 1 month. I had such a wonderful time, I wanted to write a detailed review to give others insight into this unique property and help spread the word on the Schaefer’s place.
Firstly, it’s a marvelous property. It sits on approximately 2 acres in a section of Austin that is close to the center but somehow has avoided the mass gentrification that has seemingly taken hold of the entire city. The home is spacious, clean, authentic and has a personality. If you listen, the house tells you a story of a family. It’s a good story.
The property has a local feel and deep authenticity - note you won’t find this in a lot of other AirBnbs in Austin. It has chickens, 2 acres of land, a pool, airstreams, a hot tub, quality speakers inside and outside the home - and yet nothing feels cookie cutter or mass produced, instead it feels luxurious, unique and well maintained.
The pool is a marvel.
Jessica’s family, The Schaefers, are local to the area and have been there for a long time. When you stay at their house you might meet Jessica or her Mom and Dad tending to the chickens or cleaning the pool, but discreetly and quickly. If you get to meet them, you will find gracious and thoughtful people. They are perfect hosts.
If you want to stay in a family home that’s luxurious, unique, authentic, well maintained and you need to find a respite from a world gone wrong, you can’t do any better than staying here.
