About this property

Private Respite Breathe Deeply Cabin with Garden, SwimSpa/Hot Tub, Fire Pit

  • Welcome all and pets. Breathe Deeply is a 100+ yr old cabin revived and furnished with love. Breathe Deeply is a safe, easy escape. Everything here waiting for you. Outdoors, privacy. Time to watch the deer & sky. Enjoy the hot tub/swim spa. Or soak in the spring fed claw tub with our bath salts. Settle down with a choice of fire pits. Fast internet expands to patio. Use our bluetooth and BBQ pit . Its definitely not your regular routine,

    NOTE: Pets need UTD flea/tick tx. Smoking outside ok.

    A stone throw south of the Austin City Limits -one quarter mile- this cabin is situated in 2.5 wooded acres neighboring an 18 acre old wooded farmland. Luxuriously, almost country, glamping and fairly quiet (there is some traffic noise and a trian whistle).
    Land is inhabited by deer, hawks, rabbits, owls, lizards a fox and butterflies/humming birds. 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 civil war).

    Its possible you'll be tempted to lounge all day. However, the center of Austin or San Marcos, with music, swimming, fishing and kayaking and floating are just 15-25 minutes from this retreat. Go play and come back to lounging while watching deer in the meadow.

    Sound like a fit for you?
    More info: Circuit of the Americas is 18 miles through country roads or a toll road. It is possible to attend this event and never enter Austin. The toll road will deliver you from the airport to the cabin and the event without the Austin traffic. SXSW and other major events: Consider being in the crowds day and night then retreating by the fire at your quiet cabin just 15 minutes south from all the ruckus of Central Austin. Invite a few friends to hang with you and perhaps make your own music.

    Reservations for guests under 18 welcomed with prior approval and possibly no extra friends, lets discuss.

    Pets: We have ducks and sometimes 2 well behaved dogs. Property is fenced though there's no guarantee its entirely secure. Pets welcomed. Max 2 pets with shots and flea/tick treatments UTD. Let us know if you're bringing pets so we can greet in the manner you need. Dogs love it here! Dog park/bar around the corner.

    ACL 1 & 2 and SXSW: center of town is generally 20 minutes. I can drop off for public bus which avoids the hassels 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.

    Host can prep the fire. Firewood complementary. Local quality coffee, decaf coffee and a variety of teas and cream. Thai, Indian and Mexican restaurants within a mile, BBQ pit available with charcoal provided. Games are in the cupboard and paints in the drawer!. Please check amenities-we're set up for your respite; just bring your swim suit.
    We provide towels, quality cotton sheets, quilt, pillows, utensils, dishes, cups, herbs and oil, a hammock and Texas history books and Austin "best of..." magazines...

    Extra charge for 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. There are 2 airstream rentals tucked in the far back wooded corners. Host lives across the patio-please see pictures.

    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- 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!

    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 returning, please get the fire ready". There are times I am encouraged to visit at the fire and I really enjoy doing so.
    Within a mile: Several Wedding Venues Texas Keepers Cidery, multiple restaurants, Within 3 miles: MoonTower Saloon with comedy Club, GittyUp Saloon, Several other music venues, HEB Grocery Store, Lady Bird Wildflower Center 5 miles Three miles away, there is a public bus which goes directly (no transfers) to the center of Austin. 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's 18 acres (which contributes to the country feeling however 18 acres are not available to guests.). Under the cabin, on occasions, we are visited by a critter or two. This is 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. Please send a note with any questions. I hope to meet you.

Everything was exactly as described, and you can tell the host puts a lot of care into making sure guests have a great experience.

Five stars all around. This little cabin is such a hidden gem—you’d never know you were in the middle of Austin. It was quiet, calm, and exactly what I needed after a busy workday. Perfect for a short overnight stay, clean and comfortable, with a super welcoming host who made everything easy. I’m really grateful for the peaceful reset and would absolutely stay again.

Manchaca cabin

Convenient location to Austin attractions in a quiet country setting. Grandkids loved playing in the swim spa/hot tub. Lots of room to walk our dog. It is close to a train track so some train noise.

A sanctuary outside the city!

What a delightful space! The cabin is a cute and self contained room that has everything you need. The property was an absolute dream and the salt water spa was extra dreamy during a cloudy evening sunset. Host(s) were super warm and welcoming and even showed me around some great spots in town! 10/10 recommend if you need to unwind and reset.

Our old neighborhood

This was a visit to our old neighborhood and we were not able to spend time at the VRBO. It’s a great location and provided a perfect base of operations. The Tom turkey named Christmas was frisky but not a problem for an old farm boy.

Good stay, a bit misleading

We stayed here with our 2 year old and our dog. We chose this place for location, pet friendly and the land. The property was very beautiful and conveniently located. Communication with our host was very easy and they were responsive. My only feedback with the property would be that we believed there was a private room for sleeping. We were unaware that it was an efficiency so that made it difficult with my toddler. It would be helpful if they updated the photos to show the one bed , and the entire space. There are duplicate photos of the bed with different comforters which you would think were different bedrooms. Only other issue is that I didn’t realize that there would be other dogs on the property. There were 3 other dogs which made us nervous for our dog because she has been attacked before. We would not have brought her with knowing this beforehand. There is no pool, but there is a jacuzzi. Again, overall a nice stay just some misleading information.

Everything was super cozy and the entrance is so beautiful. I will say a bit sad the jacuzzi had no instructions and was off, cold when we got in and lacked lighting or maybe it was just lack of instructions as well. Were looking super forward to it! But I will say hadn’t had such a great ac in a while like this one 😮‍💨 and also loved the safety aspect (baby ducks are adorable)

If you are looking for a place to unwind, this is it! The cabin is charming and has everything I needed - and more. The host was very easy to communicate with and super helpful. I hope to return if/when I have free time while in the Austin area. If you stay, definitely plan to enjoy the hot tub/cool pool. And pack a book you can read in the huge bathtub. If you feel the need for activity, check out the cidery about a mile down the road and nearby Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
