Private Respite with SwimSpa- Breathe Deeply Cabin
Welcome all and pets. Breathe Deeply is a safe, easy escape. Everything here waiting for you. Outdoors, privacy. Cool off in swim spa for summer. Time to watch the deer & sky. Or soak in the spring feed claw tub with our bath salts. Settle down with a fire. Luxury queen bed. Fast internet expands to patio add BBQ. Its definitely not your regular routine NOTE: Pets need UTD flea/tick tx. Smoking outside ok We now have 6 young heritage turkeys! Please help pet(tame) them. They are so fun. A stone throw south of the Austin City Limits, this cabin is situated in 2.5 wooded acres. Luxurious and fairly quiet. It is inhabited by deer, hawks, rabbits, owls, lizards a fox and butterflies. There is an old stone well filled by an aquifer (legend states the well was built by Ben McCullough; a Brigadier-General soldier in the Texas Revolution). A large back yard is used for walks, bonfires and golfing/batting balls. Lounge in the dappled sun on the patio near a running pond surrounded with gardens. Prepare a leisurely bar-b-que. Talk late into the night by the fire pit or take a dip in the swim lane for a massage in its current. Bluetooths available. The idea is "just come, its probably here" . This 100+ yr old cabin has been revived and furnished with love. Time seems to stop while soaking in the deep old claw tub filled with endless hot spring water . Lounge on the shaded patio Quality mattress with brown out shades. Its possible you'll be tempted to stay all day. However, the center of Austin or San Marcos, with music, swimming, fishing and kayaking are just 15-25 minutes from this retreat. Sound like a fit for you? More info: Circuit of the Americas is 18 miles through country roads. It is possible to attend this event and never enter Austin. A toll road will deliver you from the airport to the cabin and the event without the Austin traffic. Also close and south is an after race restaurant popular with race participants. Note for SXSW and other major events: Consider being in the crowds day and night then retreating by the fire at your quiet abode just 15 minutes south from all the ruckus of Central Austin. Invite your friends to hang with you and perhaps make your own music. Guests under 21 welcomed. ACL 1 & 2: center of town is generally 20 minutes. Drop off spots for public bus dropping you off at ACL is 15 minutes from the cabin which avoids the horror of where to park and how far to hike. Retreat back to the cabin and relax away from the crowds with your own evening fire and some wine. Included in price: heating with electric heater with faux fireplace AC for the warmer months. ceiling fan. Luxury Queen bed, pillows, sheets Multiple fire pits and seating areas. Host can prep the fire. Firewood complementary Swim Spa/large hot tub with jets for massage NO TV but 3 bluetooths wireless internet - fast washer/dryer/iron and board available claw tub with shower toiletries including bath salts offered for your pleasure kitchen equipped with small refrigerator, microwave, Air Fryer and 2 electric burners French press or drip coffee, electric kettle, foam and heating cream pot. complimentary freshly roasted local coffee and plus creamer and a variety of teas with honey and stevia or organic sugar large BBQ pit available with charcoal provided of course all towels, quality cotton sheets, quilt, pillows, utensils, dishes, cups, herbs and oil up to 3 parking spaces 3 fire pits to lounge hammock games and Texas history books and Austin "best of..." magazines private patio with garden and small pond company of 3 heritage Turkeys which are the greeting committee and your new best friends either wandering with you or in the pen as requested Extra charges: transportation: Round trip transportation to the airport or elsewhere offered by host public bus stop 3 miles from the cabin, it is easy to grab a ride to the bus stop from the host- no charge. weekend reservations are a minimum of 2 nights. If you can only stay 1 weekend night, please ask about an exception so that I can attempt to make it work. Guest have exclusive access to the patio. You are welcome to wander all the grounds-(2.58 acres with meadow) with the exception of course, of the private residence-(15 adjacent acre old wooded farm. Formula 1 or CODA Toll road to F1 is less that 2 miles from the cabin and provides a direct shot to the venue, without having to deal with Austin traffic. With prior notification to host, guests of guests are welcomed, visiting(not overnight due to space/bed limitation) at the fire or in the swim spa is a great option to share with friends! For Pets: Dogs love it here! All sorts of smells to explore. Parameter fence not secure. Looking for discounts? week and month discounts will compute during reservation. Other Discounts from Host: 4 days including weekend= cost for all days are weekday price. 4 weekdays = 5% off. Weekday Last minute Discount (within 2 days)= 5% off Host Discounts requires an inquirery rather than instabook to request via message to apply discount as a special price before booking. I interact with guests as much as they want. Usually, an initial orientation to the cabin and grounds, then texting for the morning "I'm hungry" call, or "I'm returning, please get the fire ready". There are times I am encouraged to visit at the fire and I really enjoy doing so. I will be isolating to the tune of 2 meters distance. Within a mile: Several Wedding Venues Texas Keepers Cidery Restaurants: El Paso Mexican, Taco Bar, BBQ Liquor store Within 3 miles: MoonTower Saloon with comedy Club, GittyUp Saloon, Several other music venues, Grocery Store, Golf Multiple restaurants Lady Bird Wildflower Center 5 miles Three miles away, there is a public bus which goes directly (no transfers) to the center of Austin. When schedule allows, I offer rides as needed to/from the bus at no additional charge. Drive to the center of Austin depends upon timing but generally can be between 15 to 25 minutes. There is an alternate toll route from the airport which avoids Austin traffic, please check your GPS. Your cabin is located on the property where the host lives. It is private-semi secluded- and very safe. Stars are dimmed from the Austin and nearby lights while cars and a train whistle can be heard. I am working towards a wildlife/native habitat refuge; with our neighbor, there is 18 acres (which contributes to the country feeling however 15 acres are not available to guests.). Under the cabin, on occasions, we are visited by a critter or two. This is a rare but does mutually surprise us all - after dusk of course. Property is fed by an underground aquifer with a soft water system and reverse osmosis installed. Holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas have a minimum stay of 3 nights required. This is also true for SXSW and F1. ACL is 2 nights. Weekends are 2 nights minimum.
