Just inside the gate you have a lovely patio shaded by native Live Oaks, another garden area planted with Texas Natives, and a large covered porch with an outdoor dining spot, and a wide bench with cushions. Inside the Casita, which is small and efficient, you have a queen sized bed, a love seat, a kitchen with granite counter tops and equipped with all the basics, an expandable dining table, a closet and a bath with walk in shower. There are handmade tiles installed in the kitchen and the bath. The dinnerware colorful Fiesta ware. We harvest rainwater and use it on the vegetable gardens, and use some for the landscaping. When available, we can supply you with some fresh eggs from the chickens ! We also stock the fridge with organic free trade Coffee and Half & Half to get you started on your day. The hot water heater is tankless on demand, the AC/heater is an energy efficient 18 Seer Mini-Split, and there is a ceiling fan to reduce the need for AC.

This was our second time to visit The Casita and it was just as delightful as our first! If I had to choose one word to describe this well appointed tiny home, and the surrounding grounds, it would be magical. Claudia is an amazing artist and she has art all over the property waiting to be discovered. Coffee in the morning on the covered porch, and an evening swim, made for a wonderfully relaxing get away. You feel as though you are miles from the city, when actually, you're only a few minutes away. What a special way to spend our 26th wedding anniversary! Thank you, Claudia!

Claudia’s casita is a small slice of peace nestled within the Austin hills. Great location with tons of places to visit around. My dog enjoyed laying out on the patio feeling the breeze rush through.

The owner is wonderful very nice, very accommodating and communicates everything. The property is equally as amazing, quiet mornings with birdsong or an afternoon in the pool beating the heat and checking out all the architecture. Sunsets from the patio are also enjoyable or a thunderstorm show as well. It's a great distance to everything around while also feeling like you're away in nature. The casita is perfect size and has everything you'd want. The coffee was great! Parking and directions are easy, plenty of space in the yard to hangout and the privacy feels right. Very happy that I went with this charming property in this great neighborhood.

The casita is on a beautiful property surrounded by art and beauty. So peaceful and quiet. Just enough outside the hustle of Austin but still close to everything. Thank you Claudia! Definitely recommend and will stay again.

My spouse and I wanted to visit Austin, TX, but didn’t really want to be in a busy part of the city. This gem (lovingly named CasitAlegre) is within a 20 mins drive of all kinds of downtown entertainment and restaurants, but remote enough that it is quiet and relaxing. Claudia has set up this rental property with such TLC, including your own little yard space complete with a deck, seating, a hammock and shade for those sunny Texas afternoons. The house is well equipped with all you need to make meals and do laundry if you need to. She even hooked us up with fresh organic coffee beans, cream and eggs for our first morning, which was such a treat since we arrived very late the night before. The house is spotless and is very comfortable. Wander around the rest of her property to find unique pieces of her pottery and meticulously cared for ponds, a swimming pool and a variety of eco-friendly elements (eg. Water collection). This is a one-of-a-kind rental and I hope we can return again soon!!Thank you for your wonderful hospitality Claudia :)

Claudia is a top notch host. Everything is as described on line. This casita is about a 30 minute drive from downtown Austin. It is an easy commute and a lovely setting in the hills on a gorgeous estate home with a nearby coffee shop, groceries, malls and a wonderfully unique Italian restaurant (great food). It was very hot when we visited and I was very grateful to make use of the pool. Claudia showed us a local park where we went on a great, easy hike past the river and interesting homes. We like it so much we went back several times. The location allows you to spend the morning exploring Austin and visit Hill Country towns in the afternoon. The casita is perfect, with a lovely porch where you will enjoy a perfect sunset. We love Austin and hope to return again next year for the Willie Nelson Concert.

I had a wonderful stay at Claudia's casita. It is perfectly appointed with everything you need, cozy and comfortable. Morning cross breezes and birdsong abound, and this host treats guests with a supply of gourmet coffee, half and half, and fresh eggs. Just lovely.

The cabin is sooo cute! Huge walk-in shower, small kitchen but has everything you need to make homemade meals and eat together. Internet is hit-miss and only a few channels on the tv but great way to Unplug to kickback and relax, no outside distractions. Claudia is great! Very helpful before and during your trip. Made sure we were would arrive and walk into comfort. Very Clean!! Fairly comfortable bed! Its sooooo quiet there! Wish it wasnt cold and rainy. Would have been able to see stars, just “be” in nature!!! Would stay here again.

The Casita was a gorgeous stay! The weather cleared up for our weekend and we enjoyed breakfast outside. We walked the property and enjoyed all the art surrounding the place. Quiet and private. We came in at around 11:30pm but we communicated with Claudia about it and she made our check in process easy! We hope to enjoy a future stay here again when we return to Austin.

The Casita is a special place. From the drive up to the artist inspired surroundings it could not be more idyllic or romantic. The owner lives on site but could not be more accommodating. Her incredible works of art can be seen throughout the property The pool s beautiful and inspiring Great location with great dining option nearby. It was the perfect getaway and we hated to leave

We stayed here to celebrate our 25th anniversary and we could not have asked for a nicer experience. The neighborhood feels like it's out in the middle of the country. So quiet and surrounded by trees. The Casita is cozy and has a lovely porch to enjoy the outdoors and watch the birds. We also spent the mornings and evenings swimming in the pool. We are already looking forward to staying at the Casita again!
Thank you,Claudia, for making our anniversary so special!

We enjoyed our 2 night stay with our two pups for my husband’s birthday over July 4th. The location is perfect, the casita is cozy and comfortable and the pool was just what we needed to help cool off from the Texas heat. We will definitely consider staying in Claudia’s casita again when we visit Austin again. Just a note for those traveling with pups, make sure to bring a brush during the summer months as cockleburs are prevalent. I should have been more prepared, so that was my fault.

We stayed at the Casita and it was exactly what we needed. The surrounding area was peaceful and the sounds at night and morning a delight. Claudia was an amazing host. We even enjoyed her eggs and coffee she provided. The property was clean and stocked with natural products.
There is a pool as well and it was relaxing and clean. This location was close to all our destinations we were headed. We cannot wait to come back and return to the Casita.

We had a lovely time at this cute little cottage. The patio was our favorite place to relax and it was perfect for our dog since it was fenced in. We only left once to eat at a super good restaurant recommended by our hostess who came to meet us with her adorable pup. This is a great place to get away from the city and chill!

We enjoyed staying at this property.
Claudia is very talented, her pottery was showcased in the cabinets, and on the wall.
Unfortunately she was working on a big order and we didn’t get to tour her studio.
The place is cute and eclectic. The chickens were friendly and greeted you. Claudia provided farm fresh eggs the first day. Everything was nice except for the towels, smelled a bit like mildew. Other than that, nice stay.
