This is your peaceful haven. A home away from home. Cozy yet so comfortable.
This is the primary sleeping area with an additional futon up in the loft, linens are provided. Lots of blankets, pillows, and sheets. Whatever you might need it is available.
View from the loft. You can sleep there or just sit there for a bit as an escape for the world where you can just be in the moment.
The ladder looks decorative but it is your entrance to the loft above where the whole world can feel just a little bit different. Another sleeping area or a just another place to hang. IMPORTANT: Please read Loft Disclosure in "Other things to note"
Start your day with coffee or tea. Organic half and half is in the mini-fridge. Refill your water bottle with from our fresh water container.
Although the bathroom is tiny, it is chock full of fresh fluffy towels and amenities that include hand soap, hair products, hair dryer, and body wash. No need to bring your own. Toilet seat made in Paris. A mermaid sink and of course more art.

This is your space behind my home. My home has been on the weird homes tour in Austin 5 times. I hope you enjoy being surrounded by art. It is everywhere and there is no escape from the natural beauty.
This is the sitting area outside of your space. A nice quiet area to have a cup of coffee before you start your day in Austin.
This is the breezeway. Be sure and look up as you walk to Peaceful Haven. There is a surprise addition that you don't see in this photo. The breezeway is just another place for me to add some unexpected art.
So sorry hot tub not available. Trust me there are issues.
Take a walk around the garden. It is a home for yard art and plants of every kind or at least the ones that can take the heat.
Front of my home. Your vacation home is in the back. When you see the wave in the driveway and the blue roof, you know you are in the right place. Mermania in the driveway is my 5th art car. She is so much fun to drive.
Go through the mermaid gate to get to your space in the back of my home. I never counted how many hours it took me to do this mosaic but I enjoyed every minute of it.
