Our weekend stay at the main house at Hilltop Haven was incredible. This was the absolute perfect location for seven of our friends to get together and enjoy each other's company, the sunshine, great food, and some time outside of the city.
The house itself was spacious, modern, bright, and inviting. The large hill the house sits on gives you picturesque views of the surrounding hill country, especially from the large patio and pool deck. Along with the views, our guests all appreciated how private and peaceful the property felt. The salt water pool and spa were spotless. I knew the smaller house down the hill was booked by different guests the weekend of our stay, but all our friends staying in the main house did not even notice we were technically "sharing" the property - we did not see or hear them once (the main house is a significant distance up the hill and lots of trees are between the two).
We spent the majority of our time lounging in or around the pool/hot tub, watching baseball on the large outdoor couch on the patio just next to the pool, and playing cornhole and talking as someone grilled. The bluetooth speakers throughout the house and facing the pool area really added to the experience. We also enjoyed the bar seats across from the range, the large dining room table, and the comfortable living room couch. The bedrooms were all unique with comfortable beds and nice linens.
The kitchen was fully stocked with pans, utensils, and so much more. We loved having two ovens, a large gas range, sharp knives, a weber grill, and even a smoker at our disposal. We brought a ton of the needed supplies, but if we had only brought groceries we would have been completely fine with everything provided at the haven.
Pros:
Easy to find - sign at end of driveway
Private and quiet
Not far from Austin (40 minutes from the eastside)
Great beds and linens (even pool towels)
World class kitchen
Beautiful bathrooms with rain showers
Corn hole, ping pong table, and pool basketball hoop
Sonos speakers throughout
Helpful host who is available to answer questions
Cons:
I honestly can not think of a single one. Our friends all raved about this property.
I hope someone found this review helpful! To the host - thank you for having us and hopefully we can book at hilltop haven again!!!
