Arete Stay. Like country in the city! Big oak trees only 12 mi. from downtown
Enjoy our brand new home peacefully tucked away under live oak trees in the privacy of the back half-acre of our property far removed from streets and immediate neighbors. Only 12 miles from downtown.
Beautiful property, quiet and serene. Bill and Rita have thought of everything. Very comfortable, everything there is top notch. They're only 15 minutes from downtown Austin and it's worth a few extra minutes of travel to stay in such a nice place. We will stay there again the next time we are in Austin!
This VRBO was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we knew we found a hidden gem. The home was spotless, and fully equipped with everything we could need, including a welcome basket with snacks and coffee pods.The location was perfect, peaceful and private, yet just minutes from restaurants, shops, and attractions.Our hosts were incredibly friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect.Every part of our stay exceeded expectations. We didnt want to leave. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you Rita and Bill!!!
Truly could not have imagined a better stay. Rita went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed for our first roadtrip with our baby - from high chairs, to bouncers, to crib, etc. The house and property truly cannot be beat - itâs hard to find that type of seclusion and peace but still be within minutes from all Austin has to offer. We would stay here again and again!
We enjoyed our stay, although short. The host were great and it's in a fantastic location. Close to everything but nestled away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We will definitely book again
We had everything we needed at the property. Bill and Rita are great hosts and are in a separate house on the property which allows them to assist immediately whenever there is something you need. The location is great and silent. I would book again!
I'd give 6 stars if I could. One of the best experiences I've ever had with VRBO. Would go back to visit Austin and I wouldn't book anywhere else to stay! Thank you!
We didnât realize how lucky we would be when we booked this fine house for a weekend out in Austin with my family. Bill and Rita were so kind and we felt welcomed by them and the house. Perfect location for getting into Austin and still having a quiet and cozy place to retire every evening
We came to get away for a quick girls trip and fully enjoyed this home. Itâs very beautiful, quiet, clean, and the host was very hospitable. We would Definitely want to stay here again when visiting next time!
It's a little oasis just south of downtown. Loved our stay here. My friends are already talking about a return trip. Very clean and well stocked. Hosts are great! Thanks again.
The house was beautiful and functional. We met Bill and communicated with Rita through the app. Both were great! The house was very clean and in a great location for what we needed. We look forward to returning again in the future!
My family and I stayed here for a wedding. The owners were very accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable stay. The property and rooms were very clean and modern. Loved the breakfast nook with keurig and snacks. The decor and style of the home was very relaxing, with layout being spacious enough to accommodate six adults comfortably. Rita and Bill were very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Great location, close to downtown Austin and Dripping Springs, but private enough (at the end of a dead-end road) to feel more secluded. Thanks for a great stay! Enjoyed listening to the chatty morning doves every morning as well.
This stay was such a treat. The hosts were very friendly and responsive to all questions. The property was fully furnished and had everything we needed and more! New and clean. Couldn't have asked for a bettery stay for a group of 7 in Austin, TX. Will definitely revisit when we go back to Austin.
Rita and Bill are incredibly kind and helpful hoats. Rita was great at communicating prior to stay. They stay on the property so it was convenient for them to help when the lock ran out of battery. Bill also greeted us when we arrived and offered to help us with our bagsThe home is very clean spacious (we had 5 adults and 2 kids) and had everything you could need. Bill and Rita are thoughtful and have extra amenities, games for kids, toileteries, etc. We very much enjoyed our stay and were very happy. Will be back next time!
This is an amazing property. Beautifully designed with master and guest rooms on opposite sides of the home. Surrounded by trees you surely donât feel like a major city is a few blocks away. Itâs quiet at night and we had all the comforts of home. We were so appreciative of how calming the home was as we arrived both nights exhausted. Thank you for our stay. We canât wait to come back.
Bill and Rita clearly put some effort into making this place comfortable for guests. Everything was extremely clean, the kitchen had everything we needed, and there were board games and yard games for us to use. There's a greenway nearby with pretty good connections to local parks which I really appreciated for my morning trail runs. They have a low-stress check-in and check-out which worked well for our inconvenient flight schedule. Thanks Bill and Rita!
I didn't get to meet Rita and her husband but my daughter and her husband said they were the amazing. We had a wonderful stay at there place. They had everything we needed to cook meals and they had a Keurig and coffee which was a plus for us. We came for ACL weekend and then drive was about a 15 minute drive. I wish we could have stayed and extra day to just relax and enjoy the house a bit more. We would definitely stay again if available.
This house was so nicely put together, and peaceful. It was so much more relaxing then what you would find at a hotel. It was close to so many things to do. The outside sitting area was relaxing. They had everything that you could need in the house. They did a great job at decorating down to the little details. They let us check in early when we had no expectations of even doing so. Rita and Bill are very kind people. Very attentive to detail and answer any questions you may have. I will be booking their house again when we make it back to Austin.
Everything was extraordinary! First of all, Arete Stay was immaculate, both inside and out. The home is situated in a gorgeous, quiet and safe area with grass and beautiful trees, a perfect place for grandbabies and pets to run without the fear of traffic. The parking is just steps from the huge and inviting front porch, complete with rocking chairs. Inside, we found everything we needed, including large, comfortable spaces/rooms, beds, dining areas, baths and closets, linens and even a Keurig with a great selection of pods. And again, it was all in pristine condition. We are so happy and blessed to have found Arete Stay, and we will certainly try to stay here again. Thanks for making our little adventure to Austin so enjoyable!
The property owners were very nice and reassured me when I was worried our reservation fell through. They were helpful when we arrived and greeted us kindly. They answered all my questions and were very helpful. The home was lovely in a area that isnât cut off from civilization but still had a nice woodsy vibe. The interior design of the home is absolutely lovely. Most things were included (ie towels, travel sized soaps, cook wear, etc.) There was a laundry room in the house which was nice. And the owners live on the property just in case. 10/10 would recommend and maybe one we will be able to visit again.
We had a great 13 night stay at this location which was a 2 minute drive from our daughterâs home.The pool adjacent to the rental is possibly available for an additional fee, which was a nice option for our family.A great quality home that was private and quiet.Weâll be using this property again.
