My son and I came to Austin on a college visit. He is a clarinetist and I try to book places that will allow him to practice while away. I looked at all of the expensive hotel options and then clicked through Air B&B. Tiny House came up. The location, the privacy/separate lodging, and the price were exactly what we needed. Only 30 minutes away from UT Austin, located on Lake Travis, the house is tucked among the trees just above the creek. The owner Stacy keeps the place spotless and the amenities in working order. We really enjoyed sitting with a cup of coffee and breakfast on the deck in the morning watching the birds ... cardinals, nuthatches, hawks, and more. We had dinner one night at The County Line on HWY 2222. Good BBQ with even better ambiance. It is situated on the river with a view of the water right below. After dinner you can stand on the boat mooring and feed the schools of carp and turtles that come to dine. There is also seating near the water's edge on the lawn next to the restaurant. Look them up online! I highly recommend that you consider Tiny House as an accommodation if you are visiting nearby colleges. The cost is less than a comparable hotel and the location is wonderful. Great for unwinding at the end of the day and getting in instrumental practice without bothering anyone. Thanks again Stacy for the perfect retreat/lodging!
