Best vacation rental ever!

The weekend our friends spent at this house was truly unmatched! Sarah and Jeff went above and beyond readying the house for our stay and we had the absolute best time. We can’t wait to return to this property for future trips!

Magical

Amazing, and just what we needed. We skipped the beach this year because my kids really just love the pool. Bringing the dogs was a HUGE plus. We were there for 5 days and discovered something new every day.

Our own resort

Hudson Bend Casa was an amazing place to spend quality family time and be away from the stresses of the world. It has it all - nice pool, great lake views, fantastic cooking areas both in and out, little casita for the kids and wonderful pride in ownership. We have stayed in many VRBO's over the years and this one is at the top of the list. Sara is a delight, extremely fast to respond and really wants you to relax on your stay. We are already looking forward to our return.

Relaxing getaway weekend

My husband and I were delighted to return to Hudson Bend Casa for a long weekend to celebrate our 30th Anniversary. The home and grounds are designed to affect all of your senses creating an environment that is both relaxing and inspiring. We hope to return again in a few months.

Beautiful resort like home!

We loved staying here! We felt like we were at a resort with the amazing home, views of the lake, swimming pool and outdoor spaces. Our host was very helpful getting everything ready for us before and during our stay. The indoor and outdoor kitchens were impressive and we enjoyed using them. The refrigerators were stocked with sodas, water, wine and beer. Every detail was perfect and thoughtfully done to make our trip fun and easy, relaxing and top quality. We would definitely stay here again!

Return visit was awesome !!

Our grown children and their spouses wanted to return to the property this summer. It was even more awesome than we remembered. We left only to restock our groceries !! The outdoor space and kitchen was the center of our days there. The wonderfully stocked kitchen and immaculate sleeping areas made for wonderful evenings. We can’t wait to return !!

65th Birthday Getaway for the Family

Excellent location and accommodations. Sara was easy to work with and answered all of our questions. We were able to take our fur babies with us which made the 4 day stay so much more memorable and easier on all of us. The private swimming pool was delightful in light of the heat and each sleeping area gave the occupant(s) their own privacy when the day was over. It is obvious that they love their home and want to keep it in top condition for each visitor. We will book it again. Thank you Sara!

Great Property

We had a great vacation. We loved the property! The home was better than expected. Great living spaces and super clean and organized. My family was so comfortable and happy. Amazing kitchen and large comfortable living room. Fantastic pool area including a covered bar/meeting area with a toilet and pool shower. A real difference maker was the attention to detail of the host. Too many details to mention but a few examples are restaurant recommendations, Roku instructions, snacks, drinks, condiments, pool floats, kid pool toys, games, toys, carts, etc. The host was also super responsive to any questions or help we might need. I would definitely book this property again.

A Six Star Stay

This property deserves a six star rating, not just for how beautiful it is but because of the attention to the small things. Starting with the owner giving us a walk through. Sara showed us how the stoves and outdoor grills worked, that anything in the fridge, pantry or drink fridges (inside and out) were available to us, the bottled water for making coffee, how to turn on pool/patio lights, the provided swim towels and pool toys for our use. This in edition to personalized instructions for our stay and a welcome basket for all ages. We live in the area but our trip to La Hacienda Estates felt like a vacation aboard. A wonderful time.

Beautiful home and the most welcoming host

We celebrated Thanksgiving with our adult children and two young grandchildren. The house and property are amazing! The house is well thought out, beautifully decorated, clean and views are gorgeous. The beds and pillows in every room beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything needed to cook and eat thanksgiving dinner. Sara the host is so welcoming! The refrigerator was stocked with juices for the kids, water, sparkling water, beer and wine. The pantry was well stocked. She provided family games, toys and children’s books for our stay. Every room was adorned with fresh or silk flowers. She ensured the beds were set up to accommodate our group. Ample firewood was provided for both indoor and outdoor fire places. She was easy to communicate with and responded quickly when we had questions. Our family enjoyed the outdoor spaces including the playground and trampoline. There was enough room for everyone to have there own space and common spaces were large enough and comfortable enough for us all to be together. I really feel my words are not doing justice to this truly magical property and amazing host. The whole family wants to spend time here again. We are beginning to plan our next trip to visit in the spring or early summer.

Bachelorette Weekend

Stay was 10/10, the space was perfect and had everything + more needed for a comfortable visit. Sara and Jeff were highly responsive and communicative from the time of booking through our stay, as well as accommodating to the needs of our party and sharing their chickens' eggs from the coop (yum!). The House has such a cozy/resort feel and is only 30 minutes from Downtown.

Perfect Austin Getaway

I have been very fortunate to do quite a bit of traveling and this house ranks near the top of my favorite places to stay. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained, setting the resort like atmosphere of the place. Not to mention the beautiful views of the lake. The house is unique, eclectic, well appointed and comfortable. It has all the things to make your stay easy and stress free such as coffee makers, cooking utensils, spices, garbage bags, towels, extra blankets, pool toys, etc. The snack basket was icing on the cake. Sara is the best host you could ask for- caring, accommodating, informative but you never feel like she's imposing. We had young kids with us who thoroughly enjoyed the playground, the pool and the chickens on the property. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a fabulous getaway. We will definitely be returning to La Hacienda Estates!

Absolutely wonderful !!

The best experience ever ! The house, guest house, and grounds are immaculate. The pictures DO NOT do it justice. So close to grocery stores and restaurants, but our adult children wanted to cook in every day so they could enjoy the pool longer !! We will definitely return. We’re already making our plans !!

Thank you

This was an incredible stay for my family and I. There is not a detail left undone. The property in its entirety holds not only convenience, but character. It felt as if the house carries a lot of love and good memories. The shower with the plants and the claw foot tub was my favorite part, best vacation in years.

Guys' weekend

Great house for a guys' weekend. Seven old friends have been getting together every year or two since the 80's. This house was perfect given the pool, outside seating area and outdoor kitchen. There are 4 full beds and Sara (owner) provided air mattresses for the rest. There is also a large daybed by the pool that was used given the nice weather. There are lots of steps, so not likely the best for someone with issues walking, but our group was fine with that. Sara is very sweet and was there for us as needed. We loved it.

The Reviews are so true! This place is amazing!

This was by far the best Vrbo stay we ever had. Sara was beyond amazing. She was the most hospitable and generous host we ever stayed with. She gave us a tour during check-in, she kindly asked about my young kids’ preference on which room to sleep in etc. If this place is slightly over your budget, please do yourself a favor and go for it. You won’t regret it. This place felt like a real vacation, not just having a place to stay in. It was a total change of air. We had the most positive Vrbo stay ever. The pool, the TV room being just behind the kitchen, made our stay with little kids so enjoyable. Even for the kids, lol! 😃

FABULOUS

Could not have more pleased with every aspect of the booking process, checkin, communication from the owners, having all needs met prior to checkin in regards to additional beds setup, cleanliness, abundance of stocked items from the bathrooms to kitchen to outside amenities. During our stay a friend started feeling unwell, a text message amd 3 minute wait we had a thermometer and offering of a rapid test kit just to make sure it wasnt a Rona thing. Which it wasnt. Having the kids pick eggs out of the hen house was nice. We really felt we had privacy tur whole time. The one issue we had was never wanting to leave to see more of Austin. It's a paradise there. You will not want to checkout either. Enjoy this gem!
