Cute Guest House
This cute Apache Shores guest house was the perfect size for a girls weekend getaway. It’s a great location, close to many of the lake Travis attractions, restaurants, and marinas. The kitchen is stocked with many necessities and the bathroom has many of the necessities. The beds were comfortable and the farmhouse decor was so cute! Kristen was so sweet & helpful & even had fresh cookies ready for us when we arrived.

Austin Hills
My husband and I had a comfortable stay and enjoyed hiking in the Austin Hill Country. We had fun learning about and observing the property chickens! We prepared our meals in the guest house kitchen which supplied us with the necessary tools we needed, and the beds were comfortable as well.

Birthday Getaway Weekend
We booked a weekend stay for my boyfriends 30th birthday, and from beginning to end we were treated with world class hospitality from Kristen. Upon arrival, she had balloons, cookies and a birthday card for him and allowed us to pet their chickens and friendly dog during our stay! The house was beautiful, clean and cozy, we felt right at home! We were minutes from the lake and had the best time!
