*Short Term Rentals in Austin are required to collect an 11% city tax on all reservations under 30 days. The Vrbo system isn't able to collect both the city and state tax, so the city tax must be collected through a separate payment request after your reservation is booked. Please be aware that any total you come to before having a conversation with the property manager will not reflect the entire balance due. As soon as your reservation is booked, we will send you the additional payment request for the 11% city tax. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thanks! *

We look forward to welcoming y'all to the Rockin' Y Ranch soon!

Great space for family reunion
This property was outstanding for our eclipse-watching family reunion. There was plenty of space both inside and out for our group of 18. We did puzzles in one of the two living rooms, swam in the pool, watched the eclipse at poolside, had a talent show in the party barn, and identified birds in the wild spaces. When we could tear ourselves away, we had a great time enjoying bbq and live music in Austin and swimming at Barton Springs Pool. Natalia was responsive and helpful.

Amazing property + host close to downtown
The Rockin' Y Ranch was just as incredible as the listing images make it out to be. The home has more than enough space for everyone, all the utensils/plates/appliances that you could need, plus amenities that make your stay that much more enjoyable. The pool was great for cooling off and relaxing, the barn was great for hosting all your guests in one large area and the pickle ball court was an added bonus. Overall, the property was awesome and Natalie, our host, was very responsive and helpful whenever we reached out. Would absolutely recommend to anyone heading to Austin.
