Our stay at Vista Grande.

We stayed three wonderful nights at this beautiful location in mid to late March. We were welcomed to the house by a small herd of deer sitting in the front yard. The view is fantastic. The house is clean and spacious. Communication with the host was easy. Location is ideal. We used the house to unwind after long days of exploring Austin and the surrounding hill country. We loved our stay there and hope to return soon to do more exploring.
