Relaxing Spring Break 2025
"Our stay at Toro Canyon in Austin, Texas, was amazing. The property was immaculate, and the host was friendly and attentive to all our needs. We enjoyed the heated and cooled pool, basketball court, in-ground trampoline, and spent many nights around the fire pit making s'mores or enjoying a glass of wine. Although we encountered minor issues with one of the appliances, the host promptly resolved them, ensuring our comfort. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend it for a family getaway. We definitely plan to rent this property again!”

Awesome Austin Accommodations
We had friends and family take a trip to Austin for the UT football game and Pearl Jam concert. Ages ran from 2 yrs old to 50+ and everyone had a great time. We never left except to go to our events. There was enough there to keep everyone happy and occupied. I will definitely book there again. The house is even better in person!

Amazing Fully Stocked House!
This house had everything we needed for our group of 10 adults. Plenty of beds and bathrooms. Fully stocked kitchen, TVs with Directv, speakers, fast Wifi, plenty of towels and robes, soap/shampoo in all the showers, etc. We came during cold weather and were still able to take advantage of the backyard and jacuzzi. The house also had some extra yard games and a ping pong table in the garage. The house would be the best summer rental with all the outdoor sitting areas and chairs! Thanks!

Decent modern escape
The space was very spacious and modern, and it was big enough space for my friends and I to hangout together. It was also clean and check-in process went smoothly. The hot tub was fun and my friends enjoyed using the basketball court so much that we forgot to try the trampoline! The rainfall shower felt so nice. Unfortunately we were surprised to see lawn mowers and gardeners outside the kitchen window on Sunday during brunch time - they came to tidy and mow the lawn which I have not experienced before when staying at a place that is booked for the whole weekend. One of the beds downstairs was so creaky that the couple staying in that bed decided to get a hotel room somewhere else halfway through. A minor mislabel in the rooms - there's a room with a king bed and another room with a queen bed upstairs (instead of the listed king with queen trundle). I've stayed in many weekend homes, so overall nice but not the best ever.

Great stay
We stayed with a large group for a girls trip and it was amazing, the inside of the house was beautiful and clean and the outside/yard had everything you needed. Conveniently located right near everything/just a short Uber ride away. Jake was great and very accommodating when we asked if we could have earlier check in and check out times due to flight. Will definitely be coming back again, highly recommend!

I don’t know where to begin
This house exceeded our expectations! Not only was the house gorgeous but the decor and “rock n roll” room was super cute! I almost wish we got a tour of the house when we arrived to hear about some of the history and how to use the amenities. However, there was a house guide book that explains how to turn on and use a lot of the perks and Jake was very helpful and responsive. We had 10 people and it was more than enough room. I would love to come visit this place again!

Amazing property
This house was exactly what we were looking for on our family get away. The pool, hot tub, and outdoor areas were perfect. The house was spacious and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well appointed. We really didn’t need anything that was not provided. Everything we wanted to do was within 20 minutes of the house. We were able to order groceries at Whole Foods via Amazon and other food items through Costco and Target. We enjoyed the multiple trails around the city including the Barton Springs trail. The house manager was very responsive with any little question that came up. The kids really enjoyed the basketball court and trampoline. It really was the perfect home for our family of 9 ranging in age from 59 to 8 months old and varying interests. Austin is a great town! We can wait to make another trip to here and stay in this home.
