i stayed at 311 b . . . A couples retreat or business executive stay.

A perfect getaway for couples and businesspeople coming to Central Texas for fun or work. We built this guest studio as a quiet retreat from the main residence – a free-standing structure set back from the street with two dedicated parking spaces. This 864 square foot space with 512 square foot covered porch backs up to a 10-acre green belt. It was built in 2018 and hosted architects, interior designers, business consultants and design clients from across the country as they traveled to Central Texas to advance their projects and enjoy downtime in Buda, Austin and the surrounding areas.

For couples interested in enjoying the Central Texas area we are favorably located between the Texas Hill country and “all things Austin.”

For sales reps and business consultants, this location is advantageous for covering the Austin and San Antonio territories with convenient access to Interstate 35, Loop1, SH 130 and SH 45.

A unique experience . . .

A simple standing-seam metal-paneled studio exterior belies the modern farmhouse interior that our guests have enjoyed over the years. The “one bedroom studio” space has a singular 18’ high vaulted ceiling with an exposed metal truss, multiple lighting options on dimmer switches, full bath, full size washer/dryer laundry niche, and large modular sofa sitting and dining work area – translating to an open and comfortable living, working, dining, sleeping experience.

As designers, it was important that the finish materials on floors, walls, countertops – all contribute to a calm and inspiring experience – high quality, high performing and high appeal – something we always appreciate in our own VRBO experiences.

With minimal traffic and friendly neighbors, the neighborhood is great for jogging or taking long walks. A “lifted” Club Car golf cart is available to you for touring the subdivision and getting a healthy dose of fresh air as often as you like. Evenings are particularly enjoyable times for golf cart rides and potential sightings of our local deer, foxes and other wildlife.

A good night’s sleep . . .

Bamboo sheets with a Tempur-Pedic topper assures you a great night’s sleep in a queen size bed. Sleep masks and dedicated phone charger outlets at bedside make it convenient for those who want to “sleep in” and / or have access to their phone alarm in the morning, or not!
