Luxury one-bedroom apartment in a beautiful preserve where deer and wildlife roam freely. This tranquil northwest hills Austin neighborhood is 20 minutes away from downtown, 10 minutes away from shopping in the Arboretum, down the street from Alamo Drafthouse Village, next door to Randalls and Walgreens, and walking distance to many eateries like Mirabelle, Mangia Pizza, and Torchy’s Tacos!

With a vaulted ceiling and wall of windows, it feels like you are living in a treehouse! Bedroom has queen-size bed, meditation nook, painted quotes, and large walk-in closet. Living room has contemporary furniture, iJoy massage chair, flatscreen tv, and fireplace. Large patio has 180-degree wooded views and a memory foam cushion for reading and relaxing. There is also a garden-tub with rain shower, elegant dining area for six, foodie-approved kitchen, and full-size washer-dryer. Wifi throughout, including the beautiful swimming pool area. Single-stream recycling is onsite.

Enjoy all that Austin has to offer and recharge with your own nature retreat. Complimentary wine, chocolates, aromatherapy bath salts, and yoga class passes await you.

  • This was my first Airbnb experience and certainly won't be my last. Lynn's place was exactly as described: quiet, peaceful, and serene. The views of the nature preserve were fantastic. It felt a million miles from the hustle and bustle of downtown Austin. Lynn was a great host, too - she provided a number of great tips for food & coffee (all of which were indeed great) and even a surprise goodie basket upon my arrival. No complaints. This was the way to go.

  • Lynn has an awesome condo! Everything was very clean and comfortable. We had such a relaxing stay there. We especially enjoyed the balcony view (and deer!) and relaxing on the outdoor mat. She also left us a bottle of wine and nice bar of chocolate. I would love to stay there again when I return to Austin.

  • Lynn's place was exactly like in the pictures. My husband and I had a relaxing weekend enjoying the peace and quiet of her home. We would come back again.

  • Lynn was a fantastic host. Here place was comfortable and relaxing and a perfect place to enjoy Austin from.

  • Lynn was wonderful! Went out of her way to accommodate us - she made sure everything was PERFECT. 5 deer came up to the window the first night we were there. Wouldn't have changed anything.

  • This was our first experience with airbnb and I can't imagine it being any better! Wonderful!!! Our host Lynn, was so thoughtful and had many amenities (wine, chocolate, bath salts, etc.) for us. Her home is so beautiful but very comfortable. It truly is like you are on a retreat. I was relaxed from the moment we walked in and could actually feel positive energy. The location is fantastic and we felt completely safe the entire time. I would highly recommend staying at this beautiful home and you will be pampered and feel rejuvenated! We will be back many times and feel we have found a new home in Austin!

    had a very relaxing trip. The free yoga passes and the deer we saw right out of the balcony was the highlight of our trip. The place was clean and has lots of personality. The view out her balcony to a wooded area is breathtaking. There is also a trip into the woods that you cannot get anywhere else. She also provided a detail Austin guide on where to go for food and fun. Overall she is a very caring host that provides a wonderful and relaxing place for our very first Airbnb experience.

    My 9-year old nephew and I stayed for a few days, after he cooed over the deer in Lynn's preserve picture on Airbnb! He adored the pool. I loved laying on Lynn's 2nd story deck futon late at night (better than deck chairs!!!), enjoying dark skies, stars, and perfect Austin warm/cool wind blowing through the cedars. Lynn left the place in beautiful condition for us, and the sayings written on her bedroom walls are lovely!

    I have to start off by saying that this was my very first experience with the Airbnb community...and it was wonderful! My boyfriend and I decided to take a short work/play trip to Austin, Texas and were bouncing around a couple of homes available during our stay. We ultimately decided on Lynn's "Luxury Retreat in Nature Preserve" for two reasons: 1.) I knew the area somewhat because I had lived very nearby almost 12 years ago, 2.) Lynn's description and smiling profile picture instilled peace and happiness in me from the get-go. From the moment I had contact with Lynn, which was very prompt, she was so unbelievably nice, and thorough. She walked me through the process made it all very easy and efficient. Her apartment was exactly as it shows in the pictures. The only thing that you cannot see from the pictures is just HOW relaxing it is there-that really has to be felt first hand. Lynn was very gracious and left some wonder wine and truffles for us upon arrival. She is a gracious host and we were both so fortunate to have had such a wonderful experience with such a friendly and good person. Staying at Lynn's place gives you insight into her as a person, Austin as a city, and the amazing experience that can be had through Airbnb. I would recommend her place to anyone, and will most definately book my next trip through this site. In fact, I dare say that I can never travel the way I used to before Airbnb. Thank You Lynn and Airbnb!!!

  • We had a great week staying at Lynn's place during our week in Austin. The location is great - just a quick drive to downtown but not right in the middle of all the noise/traffic/etc. Her place truly is in a nature preserve - we saw several deer while we were hanging out on the patio. Lynn's place was very clean, beautifully decorated and provided us with all the amenities we needed. The facility also has a gym and a pool that were well maintained and very easily accessible. Lynn was a great host - checking in on us during the week to see if we needed anything and making us feel very welcome during our first Airbnb stay! We will definitely use Airbnb again.

  • About: As a long time Airbnb guest and fan extraordinaire, I finally decided to become a host and it’s been fabulous! I absolutely love welcoming people to my home and meeting new friends from all over the world. I am a native Austinite and constantly find myself re-falling in love with the city. Austin has a beautiful eclectic mix of creative artists and musicians, energetic university students, innovative entrepreneurs, nature-loving hippies and brainy techies. Together we create a dynamic force. And at the end of the day, my home is my personal sanctuary. I designed it to be a retreat where relaxation and wellness are central. Because I travel often (with Airbnb accommodations, of course), I wanted to share my lovely home with others, including you! Peace, Lynn
