Lata's cottage provided the short respite that I was looking for outside of central Austin. It was tucked away far enough to seem somewhat remote and yet close enough to the usual conveniences to make it practical. It's a very nice cottage that is both minimal and yet well decorated and appointed with kitchen, lounge/tv areas and decks. The deck is a good place to relax and enjoy the view of the greenery and trees in valley behind the cottage. Lata was helpful in providing directions and information about this part of town.
