About this property

Entire place

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

Austin Getaway! Private Pool, Playscape, Firepit, & more!

The Stagecoach is a historical home, set on an acre of land just outside the Austin city limits! This space is perfect for a home base if you're in town for one of Austin's many events or festivals, or if you're just looking for a great place for a "Staycation".

This home is ideal for multiple families, including a guest house near the pool on the back of the property! The private outdoor amenities include a pool, grotto, hot tub, a huge shaded playscape, fire pit, basketball goal, and more!

The space
This historical remodeled farmhouse is full of amenities and charm! Originally built in the 1800's, this was the original stagecoach on the Chisholm Trail in this area! The 100 year oak trees throughout the property are truly magical, and if you look close, you can see the ring that was used to tie up the horses imbedded in the tree up front!

Since this used to be our primary residence, we've done our best to make this space as comfortable as possible.
Downstairs the home has a living room with a large Restoration Hardware chesterfield sofa, a comfortable playroom stocked with toys, a cozy entry hall perfect to share a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, a dining room, and a fully stocked kitchen with a large island. The master suite with king size bed and en suite bathroom is also located on the bottom floor.
Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms and a full bathroom!
1st room has 2 full size beds
2nd room has a twin size day bed and twin size trundle bed
3rd room has a queen size bed, as well as a custom built full over full playhouse bunk bed! It will be all the rage with the kiddos!

The guesthouse is located at the back of the property beside the pool! It includes a living area with a queen pull out sofa, dining area, kitchen, 1 bedroom with a king size bed, and a large bathroom. This space is perfect for grandparents, in laws, or anyone in your party who would like to have a little extra privacy.

The outdoor living space is truly dreamy! Multiple picnic tables are situated under twinkle string lights and nestled between 100 year old oak trees. The playscape, playhouse and sandbox are sure to keep your kiddos busy for hours! And the pool area includes a beach entry, grotto with waterfall, hot tub, and a full outdoor grill area with a gas grill and a Green Egg smoker.
In the evening, enjoy a drink under the stars, or roast marshmallows at the firepit.

There are so many wonderful things to do, you may never leave the property during your stay!

Amazing!
This property was perfect for us and was exactly what was advertised. We were in Austin for a wedding and it was possible to have many of us stay together without trampling on each other. The pool was a big hit we spent many hours in the pool area. Communication with the owner was excellent. She was very responsive and pleasant. A+ experience for a family.

Attractive staycation or family reunion residence.
Property is ideal for family gathering or a staycation for multiple couples/families. The grounds are perfect with large fenced in back yard, multiple shaded seating/eating areas, a beautiful pool with attached pool house/cottage, and situated in a quiet, walkable neighborhood. Interior is a bit rustic and could use some minor touch ups and updating, but plenty of sleeping and social gathering areas. Overall, great spot to get away and relax just outside of Austin, with easy access to shopping and highways. A definite do again!

Loved the place so cute
Tavia was great. The place was perfect. Neighbors did complain when we were out at pool for a couple of hours having fun btwn 1-3 in afternoon. Said we were too loud and were going to call police. I found it a little over top as a reaction. Understanding it was a neighborhood but 13 women and a pool. I felt bad for Tavia and apologized.

Lovely place to stay
This property had everything we needed for our family weekend of festivities. It was close enough to our sons wedding venue and for the hosting of the rehearsal dinner. Thank you for sharing your lovely home. It’s a very special place.

Perfect for huge groups
Came for a wedding / family reunion with 8 adults and 6 kids (all under 7). House and experience way exceeded our expectations. Perfect logistically for our huge group but also tons of nice little touches and surprises that Talia added to the home. Highlights for us were the BBQ area (they have a XL Green Egg (!), plus a second large grille by the pool), the ability to seat a ton of people (they have 4 large picnic tables in a really nice patio area that has cool string lighting & sound system - could accommodate a huge party), the pool area (really cool waterfall and cave structure, tons of big and small floaties and toys, and hot tub - def the highlight for the kids), the backyard space (includes a big fire pit, as well as a pretty elaborate jungle gym which the kids LOVED + whole slew of kids toys and apparatus). We were busy with kids but would have been fun to watch some football or an outdoor movie in the covered patio area where they have a big table and TV set up. House consists of a main house with 3 upstairs bedrooms and a downstairs master. Then there there is a guest house in the back with its own living room, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom, although we didnt spend much time there. The inside living area is pretty nice - there is a huge living room, a playroom, the dining room (seats 8 which was slightly small for us), and the kitchen which has an island with 4x stools. Was fun to have so many little spaces for the 14 of us in the house to mill in and out of. But we found the backyard area / pool area was so tricked-out and nice that we spent way more time outdoors than indoors. Talia is great - super responsive, communicative, and generally just very nice. We told her we love to cook with heavy cookware and she even bought a cast iron skillet and dutch oven for the house just before we arrived. A+ house and A+ experience.

Amazing home, Questionable Policy
Arrived to the house, it was beautiful. Better than the pictures. Unfortunate downsides were super hard bed mattresses and AC unit that you are not allowed to set below 74 degrees (hello it’s summer in Texas. Even in the evenings this is pretty hot). Also extremely questionable is the nearly $400 standard “cleaning fee” the owners charge while still requesting guests to basically do all of the cleaning themselves. They request all linens be stripped for every bed, all towels be washed, all trash cans emptied, all dishes washed, ect.. (basically all of the conveniences one would assume they are paying cleaning fees for to avoiding doing while on vacation LOL).

Wonderful Austin Vacation Home
The entire family enjoyed our stay at The Stagecoach. We swam, played basketball, had s’mores around the fire, grilled dinners and played cards and board games under the patio lights. The house has everything you need!

Comfy and inviting at every turn!
Upon entering the gorgeous Stagecoach property, we were greeted by a cheese plate, s’mores kit + blankets and a personal note from Tavia which set the tone for our wonderful stay at her unique home in a beautiful setting. Four adults and two small children can often be a crowd, but we all had a space to call our own here—especially the kids! We hardly left the property because they were having such a blast playing on the playscape in the backyard, swimming pool/hot tub, and their wonderful indoor playroom, stocked with hours of fun for the kiddos. The back house was also a wonderful escape for work or downtime. The house has almost every amenity and appliance you could ask for, as well as nice, new firm mattresses and plenty of pillows! And the fire pit made for the perfect social distance gathering with a few friends and a lot of s’mores. We had a wonderful time here and can’t say enough about the lovely, accommodating owners.
