Description of the Austin vacation home rental

**** Newly remodeled - all 3 bathrooms have been remodeled and the outside of the house has been redone with stone stairs, blacktop drive up the hill, flower gardens with sitting areas. The kitchen has been renovated with new cabinets, gas stove, double oven, dual zoned wine chiller, decorative Quimper tile backsplash, marble island, stailess steel pot rack and granite counter tops. New Pictures will be added shortly****

The vacation home is located approximately 12 miles northwest of Dripping Springs. It is situated on 19 heavily-wooded acres and it is surrounded by thousands of sparsely developed acreage. If you are looking for a remote retreat that reflects the beauty and splendor of God's creation, undisturbed by urban distractions, our home is just what you are looking for!

Our property features 700 feet of a large spring-fed creek that is perfect for swimming or meditating to the sound of the water as it rushes over the three-foot fall. We own both sides of the creek so your privacy is assured.

After the sun goes down enjoy a family movie on the TV/DVD/VCR player or do what we do, sit in a rocker on the front porch and enjoy the light show put on by mother nature every night in the forms of millions of stars and dozens of fire flies. The fire circle out in front of the house is great for building campfires, roasting marshmallows, and reminiscing about the good old days.

During the renovation all the rooms have been remodeled and have been named. The names of the rooms are: Bluebonet(1 full size bed), Venetian (1 king size bed), Republic of Texas (1 twin & 1 bunk bed)and English Garden Room (2 double beds and sitting area). Please visit our home page for more pictures and information.

Eagles '''''' Nest is situated on approximately 19 acres about 10 miles northwest of Dripping Springs ''''''a 45 minute drive west of Austin on Highway 290. On a map, it is halfway between Austin and Johnson City as the eagle flies.

Located in the Heart of the Texas Hill Country. 45 minutes from Austin, Wimberly and Johnson City. San Antonio and San Marcus are only an hour away.

 Stayed 12/28/07-1/1/08, January 3, 2008

By Norma Canales (Mission, Texas)

We had a wonderful time. The place was clean and nicely decorated. We especially liked the fact that it was secluded, and there was plenty of space for the children to play and enjoy. It wasn't too far from other activities and towns. We would consider returning in the future.
