Austin Wedding
The house was spectacular!! Clean, neat and plenty of amenities. We stayed here with several families for my nieces wedding. It was extremely spacious for all of us. Great location! Only 5 minutes from the wedding venue and about 25 minutes to downtown. Plenty to do. Most of the bedrooms were spacious. There is really only 5 bedrooms not 6. They listed a bedroom which was connected to the house but had a separate door. You had to go outside to enter the room. The room was very small with just a queen bed and a rack for your clothing with no access to a bathroom unless you entered the house. This was the only down side to the house. We made a lot of memories. Great place!! I highly recommend it! You will love it.

30th Birthday
We stayed at the house with 15 of our friends for a 30th birthday celebration. The house had everything we needed to entertain, and it was also clean and well kept. We loved how spacious the house felt and that there was plenty of room for everyone. The rental group was quick to respond and easy to work with. We would love to come back for another friends trip next summer!

Exactly What We Needed
Had a big group of friends looking for a property near Austin where we could all stay together. This was the perfect house for that - amazing use of space plenty of really comfortable beds and beautiful finishings. Would absolutely recommend. A little far from downtown Austin but not too inconvenient. Host was very accommodating and we had everything we needed at the house to make it a great stay.

No better spot in Austin for a large group!
Tristin and her team were phenomenal hosts! She was there to welcome us when we arrived on the property and explained that the main fridge was having a slight mechanical issue. We had a group on 16 and it was not an inconvenience at all! Plenty of additional fridge space, coolers were provided and she even covered the cost of our first night's dinner as a consolation. The property is beautiful, and the house is exceptionally clean and spacious with a great pool/grilling area. It's about a 25-minute drive to downtown, but we didn't run into any issues booking Lyfts at the property. Overall, would highly recommend this location and I'm sure we'll be back soon!

The property is fantastic. Escaping the PNW weather and this place had everything. Every room and bathroom was amazing. Amazing quality and amenities were perfect. We had 4 families and plenty of room and the pool, fire pit and fire place was great. They even had outside games set up for us. With so many people we used the pool a lot. Requested someone to look at it bc of its use and they sent some immediately. It’s off the beaten path but close to wineries and reasonable distance to downtown Austin and the SoCo district. If we ever go to Austin again it could be our spot.

A fabulous place in a great location!
As a designer/stylist, I appreciate well-appointed and nicely decorated accommodations, and West Oak Hill fits both perfectly! The home feels like a home away from home, and the property and pool are lovely. The location is ideal...you are away from the hustle and bustle yet have access to conveniences in a matter of minutes. Private property that feels secluded, yet only 20-25 min to downtown Austin. We enjoyed our stay and would return, and there are not many places that I could say that I would want to return. As a native Texan who now lives in Wyoming, I'm always looking for places to come back home to and West Oak Hill would be a nice one to return to soon!

Needed to focus and work with lots of space. Used this house to quarantine due to covid. The house was spotless and I had no worry in the world about the house being infected. I needed to quarantine before seeing family and tracey took my concerns like her own. She was attentive and such a ball of energy as a host! Even dropped off a bottle of wine on the doorstep!
