This is a gem of a place and Bob & Patty have hearts of gold. Every interaction with them was warm and welcoming. I stayed here for a month during a transition period, keeping my job downtown before a big move to the west coast. Staying in this part of Austin deepened my love for the city, getting to enjoy the natural lakeside setting with wildlife while still being able to commute to my job downtown quite easily. By just pulling into the private driveway covered with trees, the stress of my nursing job was quickly forgotten. With their guests, Bob & Patty are very open and inviting, which they balance adeptly with providing privacy. I suppose the only possible drawback to this place would be living without wi-fi. But, this could also be seen as a good thing (and my 3G was always available). Kayaking on a sunny day in January will be one of the highlights of my stay here. It was also quite nice for my parents to come stay with me for 3 nights in this unique place.
