About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Our Cozy, Quiet, Comfortable place in the Country - 2 Bedroom 900 sq ft.

SAFETY INFORMATION: We are a rural rental & have bee hives on the property, about 200 yards from the house. We have not had bees near the apartment or house, but it is always a possibility that they could approach. If you or anyone in your party is allergic to bees, we recommend that you chose an alternate location. Now back to the fun stuff!

We are located 5 miles north of Lockhart, the BBQ Capital of Texas and 25 miles south of Austin the Live Music Capital of the World. There are only 8 houses that can be seen from the apartment, some of them are miles away so you won't feel crowded. The views to the east are up to 15 miles. Things are quiet here with many folks commenting on how noise & stress free it is. There are pastures with horses & cattle around us, something you don't see at most vacation rentals. Being out of town this is also a great place for stargazing. There is a large deck on the East side of the apartment with picnic table & 8 chairs. Charcoal BBQ pit is downstairs.

In these times of the "New Normal" we have stepped up our cleaning & disinfecting procedures as well as keeping the apartment empty for at least 24 hours & generally 48 hours between bookings to do our best for you to have a safe stay.

We completed the total renovation of our apartment in early 2020. Everything inside was replaced.

The apartment is a second floor walk-up with all the amenities you might expect from a vacation rental. Vinyl plank flooring throughout with area rugs in the living area and bedrooms as well as blackout curtains on the bedroom windows. There are ceiling fans in the living room & both bedrooms.

There is ample parking for multiple vehicles & a circular driveway for convenience.

We are located about 7 miles from the Lockhart State Park which has hiking, golf, fishing & lots of nature.

A Perfect Home Away from Home
We had the most amazing stay at this beautiful property. From the moment we walked in, we felt right at home. It was spotlessly clean, warmly and thoughtfully decorated and incredibly well-equipped. Every detail was purposefully considered. The host was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, providing local recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed. It's clear Pat takes great pride in offering a top-notch experience for his guests. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or a home base for your adventures, this place has it all.

Nice place, a lot nicer than the pictures. Very clean and great views of the horses and cows. Out in the country but still close to town. Thoughtful host with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Just be aware there are stairs to climb but great views make it worth it.

Excellent Quiet Getaway & BBQ Crawl HQ
The apartment was well appointed, clean, comfortable and everything was exactly as described. We enjoyed our stay and chats with the host. It was a great spot away from the busy cities but not too far away for a night out or a day trip to the many BBQ spots within minutes to an hour.

Perfect Place to Experience Wide-Open Texas
Our 3rd year spending a month in this very special apartment with a great view, well maintained and clean. Close to Austin, but the feeling of being on a ranch ... especially for any Yankees who would love the wide-open spaces for a wonderful change. Pat is the best host ... always helpful, but never intrusive. Our month in 2025 is already on the books.

Music festival weekend
This was a return visit for us to Pat’s property, attending a four day music festival near Lockhart. Lazy mornings spent on the scenic deck (what a view! So hard to leave!), cooking light meals in the handy kitchen, relaxing on the couch watching old movies, sleeping soundly in our bedrooms. It was really hard to actually leave our secluded lodging to get to the festival. So tempting just to hang out and enjoy a really nice, comfortable time. Pat is super friendly, and his place is a wonderful find. We will stay here every chance we get as we return to our music festival. Cheers, and all the best to you, Pat! David, Teri, and Marsha

Third Stay and Now Feeling Like Family - Fourth Already Booked
The owner, Pat, is a great guy and the apartment is perfect and well maintained. Want to experience the feeling of Texas ranch life with views from the deck that seem to go on forever? This is the place. Great starting point if you want to take day trips to explore ... Frederickburg, Austin, San Antonio and Waco for Chip & Joanna Gaines Magnolia fans. A GEM!!!

Outstanding!
My adult son & I both flew to Texas for our first hog hunt, with the goal of making memories. The conclusion was our last evening here at Pat's rental home, and we were not disappointed. What an incredible place, with views that just lower your blood pressure. The attention to detail in the unit is evident, the cleanliness, appointments, and provisions beyond our expectations. If I could rate this unit an 11, I would. Pat, my wife & I are currently discussing a return stay. *Thank you*!

Great place!
We were in town for an event at Rally Ready Rally School. Pat’s place was close to the event and still near town for food, gas, stores. Plenty of parking and easy to access. Reflective mailbox made it easy to find at night. The property is awesome and the apartment is updated, really nice and well thought out. Labels on everything make it easy to find anything you need and Pat was a welcoming host! We had a great stay👍

Wonderful Little Vacation Spot
We had a fantastic stay on the property. The house was the second floor of a barn/guest house with a beautiful outdoor patio that let us look at the stars at night and see the amazing Texas sunrise. The house was perfect for our stay. The kids had their own bedroom and a large family area for when everyone was awake. Pat was a fantastic host and was so accommodating for us. If you get lucky, you can feed cows and horses, so bring some carrots!
