Summary: Had an unforgettable 3-night stay at this gorgeous property. Every detail has been crafted and looked after with such subtle elegance and grace. A true craftsman built the home, and the host is kind and patient -- their love for the space is felt in every detail. We've already booked a return trip. Best stay we've ever had!
Jussi T. May 22, 2025 04:42:57 AM
Summary: This property was the perfect place for some much needed r&r. We enjoyed the Casita and opted to stay in almost the whole time we were there. Andrea and her partner were great hosts.We’re looking forward to our next stay!

Olivia S. Apr 24, 2025 06:46:04 AM
Summary: My husband and I loved being here as we had some life admin to do and wanted a relaxing staycation to accomplish it. We accomplished everything on our list then went to drink wine nearby then relaxed in the hot tub. The home was gorgeous. Loved watching the birds and staring at the curated art and book collection Highly recommend!

Summary: Absolutely amazing stay. We enjoyed the comfortable casita that had everything we needed. Our host has thought of everything. It’s a beautiful peaceful setting to relax in. It was a wonderful way to spend my birthday. Thank you for sharing the lovely casita.

Summary: Believe the reviews. This was the best outfitted VRBO we've ever stayed at. Communication with the owner was easy and efficient.

Summary: Andrea made our weekend unforgettable by going above and beyond in every way—from timely communication during booking to ensuring our stay was perfect. La Casita truly has it all: breathtaking views, a fabulous movie collection, a wonderful variety of visiting birds (and even deer!), a cozy stack of books, a fire pit, bathrobes, comfortable rocking chairs, a massive bed, beautiful furnishings, and an amazing hot tub. It was the perfect setting for a life-changing moment, too—I proposed to my partner here, and there was no way she could say no in such a magical place! We can’t wait to come back and relive the memories of this special retreat. Thank you!

Summary: Over the years, I have probably stayed in 25 “short term rentals” in the US, Europe, & Asia. The Hummingbird Casita is now my all-time favorite. I share this cautiously, because I want to share the truth about this magical property, but I hope it doesn’t become so popular that I won’t be able to book it again for my future annual trips to Austin!For an individual or couple who are looking for a quiet, peaceful, beautiful retreat in the Austin, I feel I found a gem that truly feels like “home“. The silence & the beauty of this land and structures is sublime. The setting of the Casita on the owner’s property with a total of 6 acres of lightly wooded, live oak trees offers amazing privacy for a weekend or a weeklong retreat. The design of the Casita is so architecturally, pleasing, simple & elegant. The decorations & attention to detail allow for a very comfortable elegant stay. The artwork in the house only adds & magnifies all the other elements.I sent a text to friends as I sat & watched the deer graze in an opening amongst the trees near sunset. This place is so silent…The only thing I hear are the birds & the butterflies!As I said to the owner on arrival in a text… “This is even better than advertised.” On my last full day there, the owners and I did get a chance to meet face-to-face. They keep a lovely distance so that you have privacy.Give yourself the gift of nurturing time at the Hummingbird, but try to leave a few days open for my next visit!
Julie M. Feb 10, 2025 06:13:40 AM
Summary: Truly, our stay was magical! The design and astethics of the house were so impressive. The courtyard and entryway were so lovely. Reading about the history of the Casita made it even more special. We so enjoyed watching the wildlife from the back porch. The hot tub was so clean and easy to use. We truly appreciated the peace, quiet and most of all, the privacy!The hot
