What a fantastic location so close to downtown, and yet in a superbly quiet location as well. Just 10 minutes from downtown by car, or 15 by bicycle. The view from the living room is just like being in a treehouse with only one other home in the distant view. It is so peaceful on the decks outside. Bring a book for your downtime while in Austin. I also saw deer, a raccoon, and lots of squirrels while staying here!
