I selected this property for its location near the eclipse totality path (April 8 2024), and dual-purposed a visit to see family in Austin. I was very pleasantly surprised by how serene the property is - wildflowers and wildlife abound here! The owner of the property puts corn out in the field to attract deer and ducks, and you can see them up rather close each morning and evening.
The interior is also very accommodating, with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a full kitchen, and a living room. The WiFi was fast and no trouble, and the furniture was comfortable.
We had a couple of chances to meet the owner, and he's a very kind man. He even came out first thing in the morning on my departure date to jump-start my dead battery so I could start my long drive home without a long delay. This saved us from what could have been a very hard day!
We were fortunate to see the full 4 minutes of totality from this property, and it's a memory we will always cherish. If you are interested in visiting Austin but would like a serene space to enjoy in the mornings or evenings, I would highly recommend Grizzly Acres!
