House was very spacious and nice. As far as being close to Austin, it does take about 30 minutes to get there depending on traffic. But there were a ton of awesome local places we checked out and thoroughly enjoyed! Jester King brewery was right around the corner and had so much to offer. There are a ton of local breweries/wineries very close to the house, which was very nice and gave us plenty to do during our stay. The location of the house was nice and offered privacy, very peaceful.
