About this property

Hilltop Haven Retreat in Texas Hill Country. Kid/Pet friendly. Pool & Firepit

Experience The Hills like a local in this 1 bedroom private guest-house with study. This wonderful property offers a cozy (yet expansive) and enjoyable stay for guests. The Hills is the perfect destination for a relaxing getaway, and we're happy to assist with any questions while you stay at our Hilltop Haven Retreat. Located within 30 minutes of downtown Austin, 10 minutes from Lake Travis - enjoy a private and tranquil oasis nestled within the Hills Golf Club - home of the Jack Nicklaus-designed Hills Golf Course.

The bedroom features a comfortable king bed and the study has a convenient murphy bed, desk and everything you need to work if needed.
You'll find everything you need with fully stocked kitchen, washer and dryer - just like your own home (or fine hotel!) It features an en-suite bathroom with a two-sink vanity, large walk-in shower, and large walk in closet so that getting ready in the morning is a breeze.

The Pool House is a covered structure that boasts a TV, LED fireplace, seating for eight, and an outdoor kitchen. Enjoy the national staple that is Texas BBQ on the restaurant grade BBQ grill, grab a cold one from the mini-fridge, and watch the game, play a game, or just relax.

Want to have a glass of wine or a sip of the whiskey you bought checking out Hill Country's Whiskey Trail? Do it around the pool (or firepit) with plenty of seating - pub tables, adirondack chairs, andirondack rockers, padded chaise lounges, and the ambiance of integrated LED lighting throughout the pool area.

The pool boasts a baja shelf and in-pool adirondack chairs so you can sit and put your feet in the water and soak in the sun, or enjoy the shade underneath the several umbrellas. Shallow or deep end - bench sitting exists around the pool, so you can sit or swim, or swim and sit. Too cold? warm up in the heated spa. Otherwise, float. Floating is best.

Time to go to out for the evening and you've spent the entire day in the pool? Rinse off in the outdoor shower (with hot and cold water!), change in the outdoor-accessible half-bath with AC.

Firepit? Four rockers allow you to just relax and watch the dancing flames as dusk settles on Texas Hill Country and bring an end to your exciting (or lazy) day, and turn in for a night in luxury with a king size bed, and light blocking shades.

Inside - all the amenities you expect from a fine hotel exist: Free wi-fi, a fully-functional and stocked kitchen for cooking or baking, an amazing concierge service (us - to the degree we can help as hosts familiar with the area).

Your vacation home awaits.

Amazing Amazing Amazing
Definitely felt like home if not even better. Home is equipped with everything you need. They even had complimentary drinks. The jacuzzi is a bonus for late night dips. We enjoyed our weekend and will definitely be booking again. Terry was a great host! Thank you for everything!

Pet Friendly Poolside Paradise
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Mark and Tammy’s Hilltop Haven. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we had everything we needed and more! My husband, our dog and I were sampling nearby areas for work and this was the perfect post-work retreat! We spent both afternoons lounging in the pool. Any questions we had were swiftly answered and we (including our energetic dog) were treated like family (to include homemade cookies, beverages, and a good ol’ Allsups burrito)! For those with dogs - know this is a great place to stay with a spacious fenced in area. We will be back next time we’re in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Tammy Smith

Host profile image
We've always loved treating people well when they visited us. When my parents would visit, I would prepare the coffee maker to brew a pot of coffee in the morning, and lay out two mugs, a small creamer pitcher, sugar, and two spoons rested on folded napkins, side by side. My parents loved it. My wife, in turn, has turned into the most amazing cook and baker over the years - and it only made sense, once our Guest House was built - to allow people to enjoy visiting a place and not be stressed out. All the accoutrements of home - with enough to do what you want, or do nothing.

Why they chose this property

The Hills is a private, gated community and is centered around the Jack Nicklaus-desigend Hills Golf Course. With 18 championship-caliber holes, with thousands of mature live oak trees throughout the entire community - it is a tranquil setting that allows you to slow down. Even better - because of all the vegetation - you'll see the occasional deer (or many) casually walk across the lawn, with hawks, hundreds of species of birds, including a pair of Blue Herons that hang out on Hole #12

What makes this property unique

Simply, we have an amazing pool, amazing pool-house, outdoor accessible bathroom, outdoor shower, verdant garden curated by your host, certified Master Gardener Tammy Smith. This is a brand-new, modern guest house that has a massive en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet, walk-in shower, full kitchen. With the way the guest house is situated with the pool - you can simply open the sliding door and walk into a pool oasis. Jump in, swim, cool off, float, or just hang out, listening to the bubblers do their ambient pool sound thing.
