There is still a lot of reluctance to hop on a plane and head out for that luxury summer vacation. So, I decided to take a look around the state to see what accommodations are close enough to home but will still make you feel you’re getting an incredible vacation. Austin is just down the road, a perfect summer vacation spot, and had two fabulous options that caught my eye.
Of course, I turned to the major platforms, because a luxury summer vacation rental offers so much more than a hotel can, especially for an extended stay vacation with your family.
Now bear in mind, everyone has the same idea, and I found nothing in June. In July, this beauty called Mustard Seed popped up when I searched for luxury rentals in Texas on Airbnb. Anything 30 days and over is considered a long-term stay and you’ll find a lot more luxury options for these longer terms. There is also a whole menu of add-on services for homes in this price range.
Now, I only searched for two adults and two kids for a thirty-day stay. However, this luxury summer vacation rental has plenty of room for ten with four bedrooms, six bathrooms, and three powder baths. You are close to Barton Creek, Zilker Park, Mount Bonnell, the Texas State Capitol, and Lake Austin.
What they say about this luxury summer vacation rental:
French Country charm meets Western cool at this farmhouse-inspired retreat near Lake Austin. Details like a front turret, arched wooden door, stone walls, and sloping roof feel like they came from a fairy-tale cottage, but the horns over the fireplace show off Texas pride. Walk to the private dock for a swim and barbecue on the lake or drive 15 minutes to restaurants, bars, and music downtown.
