Steve's Peaceful Oasis is just that ... a beautiful spot with a tranquil and serene feeling to the entire property! We arrived late at night and what a beautiful welcome! Steve had the lights turned on for us, candles lit throughout the house and the refrigerator nicely stocked for a snack and lovely breakfast the next morning. The house and property are exactly as described and the pictures do an excellent job portraying this lovely home. Steve's taste and decor are very well thought out and there is a unified and beautiful, rustic warm feeling to his entire home. We especially liked sitting outside in the mornings to have one, two ... sometimes three cups of coffee, because the yard is so lovely we didn't want to leave. The main house seems to have been custom fitted underneath the lovely oak trees and looking back at it from the large yard is a beautiful sight. It's hard to explain, but the peaceful feeling in the yard just captivated us. The layout of the home worked well for us, too ... one bedroom downstairs (private with its own bath), and two nice large bedrooms and a bath upstairs. Steve checked with us several times during the week via text to see if we needed anything which was very nice because it made us feel that we could talk to him at any time should we have a question. I would most definitely recommend Steve's Peaceful Oasis if you are visiting Austin and want to stay a little outside the city in the direction of Texas Hill Country. It is really pretty close and convenient to get to downtown Austin ... didn't feel like a burden at all to hop in the car and go. We will definitely contact Steve the next time we visit!
