Five Star ReviewsÂ
Secluded & Romantic Property
“The property is conveniently located close to town, but is also secluded, as if it is in a world of its own. As advertised, the guest house is luxurious and spacious, and it is very romantic! It is also beautifully decorated with hardwood floors, comfortable furniture and the host’s original paintings. The pool is very nice and well maintained. Our host, Nina, was very gracious and helpful. We will definitely return!”

Comfortable Stay in Unique Setting
“We needed a quick getaway. The criteria was near the water, must have a pool, quiet and a touch of nature. We got it all here! And MORE! We had planned to do some day trips but mostly ended up lounging by that great pool partially shaded by lovely trees. We will definitely be back.”

Perfect Weekend Getaway Near Austin Music Scene
“My daughters & I loved this location & beautiful guest house. The spa package & flowers were totally worth it & it was a short drive into Austin to enjoy the best live music in TX. Great restaurants nearby! I will book again. Nina was a wonderful host!”

Relaxing!
“When i arrived at the guesthouse it was exactly as described…well appointed, clean, secluded, beautiful art work by the hostess and panoramic views. Nina had put together a delicious picnic basket, as requested by me. I took a nice leisure walk to the pier and relaxed with my toes dangling in the water as i enjoyed my lunch and wine! This was exactly what I needed. I would certainly recommend Nina’s guesthouse and will be looking forward to my next stay!”
