Sarah and her family were so generous and welcoming. We loved the privacy of having our own entrance, and getting to know our hosts. I even got to go see Sarah's jazz group play downtown on Tuesday night!
Sarah's artful touches give the space an eclectic and modern vibe. With the pecan trees hugging in, every window was full of green, which made it feel like a treehouse. The tile in the bathroom is absolutely gorgeous. Native brand cucumber mint shampoo and conditioner?? Yes, please.
We made use of ALL the gear: cruiser bikes, paddle boards... and they had just installed a pool, which was incredibly refreshing after a hot day!
Our favorite activities/spots:
- dinner at Emmer & Rye
- dinner (& dessert!) at Launderette
- lunch at Counter Culture (amazing vegan food!)
- Flat Track coffee + bike shop (try the horchata!)
- Juiceland (we went there 3 times!)
- Ann & Roy Butler Trail: walk the causeway!
- paddle boarding to go see the bats (it is a LONG way from the put-in nearest their house, so set aside 2–3 hours)
Thank you, Sarah & Craig, and Austin for your Southern hospitality!
