Beautiful secluded property but close enough to town!

My husband, our two dogs and I absolutely loved staying here! The property is fantastic, little highway noise but very quiet at night. The trails on the property were great to take our dogs on walks. We really enjoyed how far from town it felt, although it was only a 10ish min drive to town for groceries, dinner and bars. This was our second time staying on their property and we will definitely be back in the future!

Thanksgiving Family Getaway

What a great place! We chose the Cactus House as a Thanksgiving vacation for our family and in-laws. It was also a great location for some of family to attend a football game in Austin. The house was well appointed with everything you needed for your stay and very comfortable. We love finding these cozy country homes and will definitely be back.
