Too bad there are only five stars to use for rating--I'd give Kim and her Zen Sanctuary a 10! It is a shady, cool (lots of cieling fans and xlnt A/C), peaceful sanctuary in the midst of Austin's bustle.
Her description is completely accurate, the house spotless, the bed and linens fresh and comfortable (I give the pillows an "A+"), and it's easy walk into town--even for us "seniors." I enjoyed early morning tea on the deck while browsing books from her eclectic library. The bird song and playful squirrles added to the tranquility. Alternatively, if you're up for fun, so is Kim! She's full of great stories about her creative lifestyle. Oh...and don't miss signing up for a massage and a hula lesson!
When returning to Austin, I wouldn't consider booking anywhere else.
