PALMER HOUSE- BIG BACKYARD - POOL TABLE -PERFECT 4 LARGE FAMILIES /FRIENDS

A lil bit of Austin Country... only 12 minutes from COTA / 20 mins to downtown Austin or 8 mins to Downtown Buda.

The house is nestled on just under five acres of land. Beautiful shade trees. Covered front porch - perfect the morning coffee. A giant back porch with sail shades and ample relaxation seating and watching friends/kiddos play on the swings or play volleyball. If the wind is exactly right - Plenty of room to fly a kite on the back acres.

Be ready to enjoy the stars - enjoy the breeze - sit by the fire pit.

**January 1, 2026, A new 7-person hot tub will be installed**

Spacious interior, with plenty of places to sit, talk, and enjoy your company.
An 8-foot Pool table is set up ready to be played.

Guy trip lodging

Our trip involved a lot of off-site activities, so we only needed the house for the bedrooms, bathrooms and evening meals. We were more than satisfied with the accomodations. Check-in process was easy, hosts were available when needed, and the location was exactly what we needed.

Great family house for a wedding

Our daughter got married in Austin and this house was just perfect for what we needed! Our family had plenty of room, the living room was cozy, the bedrooms were pretty, and the front room was a great spot for the bridesmaids to get ready before heading to the wedding venue. The kitchen and house was so well stocked and Natalina was gracious and kind and so quick to respond to any needs. We can’t say enough great things about our stay! Thank you for everything!

Best VRBO ever!

Natalina was an amazing host and the home was perfectly appointed. Anything you can think of, she probably has it for you. Very comfortable beds, the linens were incredibly soft, plenty of towels and toilet paper, dishes and flatware were abundant. This home was a joy to stay in for our daughter’s wedding!
