Consejos para la ciudad
Facilidad para moverse por la casa
Uber and Lyft both serve our property
As the property can be tricky to find, especially at night, you may need to provide your driver with additional instructions. Like "go down the driveway with the Texas flag, across from the boat storage and the Steiner Lake Club"

Local Parks
There are several parks within the Steiner Ranch Neighborhood if you need a playscape and swingset day! Make a day trip to Zilker Park if you have time, go on a miniature train ride. You can walk to a spot and feed the geese, ducks and watch the turtles sunning. Park off Barton Spring Rd and ask anyone you see how to get to the spot where the ducks are. This is Texas, people are friendly and happy to help.
