The quiet is exquisite. Birds and wildlife abound. The neighborhood is secure- there's only one road in and out with only occasional car traffic. Jester King Brewery and Pizza and Beerburg Brewery/restaurant are about one mile away. Many wineries, distilleries, restaurants and Texas Olive Oil Company and town of Dripping Springs are nearby.

Casa mora was great

Nice relaxing 3 days with our daughter and her two kids. The house is comfortable and has everything we needed. Didn’t use the pool but it looked nice. Area is quiet and stores and services were about 10-15 mins from the house. We would stay in this place again

Great location for weddings at the Addison Grove.

We picked this property for it's location. We were going to a wedding at the Addison Grove. It was 5 minutes away. Also it's close to Dripping Springs - cute town with lots of breweries and close to Deep Eddy Vodka distillery or something totally different an Olive Co. where you can taste and tour how to make olive oil. However it's a long ways from the city of Austin if that's where you want to hang out; however we did not so it was great for us. Overall it fit exactly what we wanted.

Lovely Property

Beautiful stone home with a private pool. The house was just the right size for five of us and area attractions were easily accessible. The hosts left a delightful bottle of wine for us. The pool setting was both sunny and shady, and the outdoor eating area had a BBQ pit with a nicely shaded table. Would definitely return.

Nice And Relaxing

We had a great time and enjoyed staying here for the week. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool a few times a day and some ping pong. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you may need which was very nice and the beds/furniture was comfortable. Wifi worked great with no issues (work vacation) for me. Fredericksburg was only an hour away and were able to do a bit of shopping and stock up on peaches and Texas olive oil & vinegars. Kids had a good time at the Art Garage also which was 1 light east on Hwy 290. Schlitterbahn New Braunfels was only about an hour away also and made for a really nice scenic drive. Overall great place and location for what we were planning.

Exactly what we wanted!

Our family wanted a nice escape to the hill country, and this place delivered! Its setting is beautiful, the deer, the animals, the pool, the woods! We loved everything, it felt like home away from home and the kids loved the pool! It was close to so many places to hike, shop, eat or swim! A perfect place to enjoy both Austin and the Texas Hill Country!

Summer River Trip

This was our first time to this gorgeous home. The house is easy to find, close to an HEB as well as other local breweries and wineries. We were 50 minutes from our float place of choice. The house has great character, and was clean, well equipped and comfortable. The pool in the backyard is fabulous, just bring some non glass cups for poolside. There is also a game room, which we didn't find time to explore! The host was very responsive when we reached out, and we already look forward to returning next year!

We loved our stay at this cute house. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The backyard is beautifully decorated and the pool is very nice. The host was very responsive and even sent pool cleaners because there had just been a storm. We would love to come back!

Texas hill country

Quiet and private.

The home was comfortable and the outdoor space was very private and quiet. If we had been there during warmer weather, the pool would’ve been delightful. There is a rental next-door, but there was a privacy fence between it and our house that worked great. Morrie was very responsive to any questions we had. Check out was a breeze.

Great Hill Country Retreat

Very lovely rental property. Shares a driveway with another home, but feels very secluded still. Very scenic, clean and refreshing swimming pool. Kids loved the separated game room. No issues with our stay- everything was great! Just what we were looking for. Short drive to Pedernales State Park. Thanks!

About the host

Hosted by Morrie Schulman and Rachel Gunner

We welcome you to Casa Mora. Rachel is a psychotherapist and author and I am a Realtor and have a financial consulting business. I'm a long time Austin resident and native Texan. Rachel is from Montreal and has been enjoying Austin for the last 33 years. We are music and nature lovers.

Why they chose this property

We love the peaceful hill country setting only 20 minutes from our house in central Austin. The Texas Hill County is a beautiful, different world. We discover wineries, breweries, distilleries, outdoor markets, nature areas and hidden treasures every time we visit.

What makes this property unique

Our home, only minutes away from downtown Austin, allows you to enjoy the energy of Austin's vibrant music scene and night life; and the quiet solitude of country living. Sitting on the back patio, sipping a glass of wine from a nearby Texas winery(our gift to you),listening to the music of the chimes and watching the multitude of birds is the best way to unwind from life's stressors. We cherish our time here as will you.
