We stayed for a week here while in town for a wedding, and had a 14-person group, plus a 4-year-old. The five bathrooms was a big plus and one of the prime motivators for selecting this property, but we spent more time on the back patio than inside! It was the gathering spot. For a group so large, we never felt like we were bumping into each other. The game room area downstairs was a big hit with the 20 yr olds, and we used the coffee maker more than any other appliance. Eventually several of the party even made it into the pool.The 20-minute drive into Austin goes fast, and access to the airport is very easy, nice for the many trips made for various arrivals/departures. The road construction in the front of the property was not an issue, easy to negotiate and you could not hear the traffic while sitting out back.The driveway handled all of our vehicles easily. The Social Club across the highway is an easy walk for a couple of drinks in the evening, and the taxidermy place next door is a great spot for some interesting conversation...they even gifted us some free sausage.Highly recommend.

Austin wedding

We’ve stayed in this area previously. Loved the size of the house and accommodated 12 of us easily. Close proximity to the wedding venue. We made great use of the pool. Loved the lower level entertainment area. All the nephews/nieces played video games all night long. Plenty of bathrooms

Great for large groups!

Overall - this VRBO is perfect for large groups. Everyone had their own space and had no major issues. The pool is huge and was great for our pool day at the end of our stay. The only true negative - surrounding construction made it difficult for us to get Uber/Lyft. They found us eventually, though!

Stay at Roadrunner Retreat

The house is spacious and can fit a large group comfortably. Provided pool towels in addition to the bath towels which was nice. The ice maker in the freezer did not work. House is 20-25 minutes from downtown. Grocery stores/liquor stores/Costco all located within 10 minutes.

Perfect for large groups!

This property was just what we needed to fit our 9 guests. Bedrooms are large and beds and linens are very comfortable. House was clean and in great shape with multiple large living spaces for our group. The only reason I gave the neighborhood 4 starts was due to construction which it to no fault of the property manager or owner. At the time of our stay the highway was down to one lane which made it hard to get anywhere in a timely manner. Hopefully they will finish the construction soon. Even with this inconvenience, I would stay in this house if needing accommodations for a large group again.

July 4th weekend getaway

The home space and amenities are great for large groups. We thoroughly enjoyed the big pool and amazing backyard. The house itself needs some TLC to make it perfect. All the bathtubs did not drain properly so showering meant standing in a pool of water. Some dead bugs and cobwebs on the inside of windows but nothing that a good cleaning won't take care of. All in all, an enjoyable experience, we will definitely consider booking there again.

Family Thanksgiving trip

Our family met in Austin for Thanksgiving. Everything was pretty much as advertised. We struggled with the internet connection and watching football games in the LL family room. The host was very responsive in trying to get it fixed. Otherwise. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for us. 20-30 minutes to the airport and 6th Street. We will check it out again the next time thru.

This home was everything as listed. Plenty of space for the families and a large gathering area with the dining room and living room. The downstairs area was very nice for the kids to hang out and play. Because of the weather change (summer to fall) the water was a little too cold for the kids to get in. The pool looked very inviting anyway and the large backyard was fun. Hopefully the HWY 290 construction will be completed soon.
