Karen was a marvellous host, it was the little touches like leaving us a kite to take the Austin kite festival on the 9th March, American's oldest kite festival that first started back in 1929. Her home is truely stunning and from the moment we arrived we all felt at home. The design of the house has a natural flow and nice energy. The heated spa even got several nights use even though it was freezing outside. Imagine our surprise at being able to turn on the spa on our way home or sending music to any room in the house including the roof top terrace. I'll be coming back to Austin and this will be the only place where I will be staying. Thanks a million Karen!
