A great escape from the rush and racket of city life, this oasis of calm and quiet is a welcoming retreat. From enjoying the beautiful surroundings, gorgeous old oaks, wildflowers, and local wildlife all seen while sitting in rocking chairs on the wide shaded porch, to the super comfortable beds and cranking A/C inside, to the jetted tub in the master bath, it is all about comfort and just enjoying the moment, and letting that peaceful easy feeling last, even all day if desired. But there is a lot to see and do within easy reach, from exploring the grounds to making the short drive to Austin (should you start to miss the big city). Even in Bastrop there are many restaurants if you don’t want to drive all the way to Austin. Plus there’s hiking, fishing, a game room, and an firepit for cooking outdoors with all the convenience of a kitchen nearby. And Rick and Scarlet are perfect and generous hosts, nearby if you should need something, but unobtrusive so you feel all the wonderful privacy of the beautiful country setting. Whether you’re looking for peace and quiet, lots of outdoor activities, or quick access to city nightlife, this ranch house is the perfect location.
