HORROR STORY: This was the worst rental experience ever!…read moreYou'll want to read every detail... I'm an author with a tight publication deadline looming. To meet it, I decided to escape my usual distractions and embark on a two-week writing retreat. Without transportation, I needed a place with a kitchen and high-speed internet so I could stay put and focus. I also preferred somewhere remote to minimize interruptions. After browsing various options, I settled on D6 Retreats, believing it would be ideal based on their photos. I chose their "Stargazer" RV, one of the few units equipped with its own kitchenette and bathroom. Although I anticipated a bit of rustic charm, I wasn't picky, having previously traveled in an RV for seven months. Upon arrival, I was stunned by how misleading the photos had been. The RV was significantly smaller and in far worse condition than depicted. It smelled strongly of mold, and the floors were so rotted that they almost felt springy with each step. Despite this, I tried to stay positive and unpacked my belongings. Soon, I noticed swarms of tiny, biting gnats and an air conditioning unit so loud it overpowered my noise-canceling headphones and music. Determined to focus on my work, I set up my laptop, only to discover that the Wi-Fi was down. I contacted the resort using the provided number, and they instructed me to try again after resetting the router. This started a frustrating exchange that dragged on throughout the day and night. By the next morning, the Wi-Fi was still non-functional. I explained that my primary reason for being there was to work on my book, which I couldn't do without internet access. The resort staff were unhelpful, continually blaming AT&T. Eventually, the owner, Tara, reached out. She was kind and admitted they were aware of the issue, offering me a cabin at their other location until the Wi-Fi was fixed. The cabin had no bathroom, kitchen, or running water--just a bed--and despite being charming, it became unbearably hot. Even with the A/C running, it was like sitting in a puddle of sweat. The lack of a bathroom meant frequent trips to the "outhouse," adding to my discomfort. By 5 pm, with no Wi-Fi fix in sight, I requested a refund to find alternative accommodation. Tara provided a portable hotspot for the RV, and later that evening, the Wi-Fi was restored. Despite the rough start, I hoped I could finally concentrate on my project. The next morning, while working in the RV, used the bathroom. When I flushed, the toilet backed up, filling with water that had disturbing black objects floating in it. To my horror, these turned out to be black soldier fly larvae. A quick search confirmed that larvae in an RV toilet indicated serious issues with the holding tanks and sewage lines, which would require hydroblasting and fumigation. The larvae began climbing up the toilet sides, trying to escape. I contacted the retreat immediately, but no one responded. After 40 minutes, hunched over the toilet of terror and battling larvae, I encountered a maintenance worker at a neighboring RV who agreed to try reaching the retreat on my behalf. An hour later, I received a text saying someone would be sent, but it was clear a simple maintenance fix wouldn't be sufficient. I sent the retreat an article about the severity of the problem & the necessary treatments & insisted on leaving, but they refused to acknowledge that as an option. As larvae contined to try and escape the toilet, the maintenance worker returned, promising that bleach would solve the problem. I watched him pour half a gallon of bleach down the toilet. Unfortunately, within minutes, larvae began reappearing. My ride arrived shortly after, & I quickly vacated the premises. The first thing my friend said upon entering the RV was, "Oh god, what is that smell?" followed by, "Who would ever want to stay here?" Nearly ten days later, after following up, the retreat finally issued a partial refund. A partial refund after such an ordeal was infuriating. It was the final straw that prompted me to write this review. Beware of this place.

The cabins are nice and comfortably house a few people each. The beds however were NOT COMFORTABLE AT ALL. The cabin is nicely air conditioned but that amounts to nothing in the beds that I could only describe as "hot." The retreat also advertised "WiFi on 99% (their number) of the retreat." To put it bluntly... the WiFi was not good. Our friend had to use his phone as a hot spot for our stay. We spent most of our time at the pool which was laughably small considering, as we discovered day 1 of our stay, that it was shared not only amongst the cabins and house that reside on D6 Retreat but also neighboring campgrounds. Thus leading to a very cramped swimming experience. Don't expect to do laps in the pool. On the topic of "neighboring campgrounds" and "discoveries day 1 of our trip" we had a small interaction with the hosts of D6 regarding noise. We were informed via email that "quiet hours were between 10PM to 7AM." Our party had full intentions to abide to this rule. We had spoken with the many neighbors that we had intentions to set up Karaoke around 8 in the evening until the designated quiet time. Our neighbors residing in the house and some from a close campground were down to join in on the festivities. Unfortunately, roughly 10 minutes after the equipment was set up and a mic check was complete we were approached by the "supposed" owners of the campground to inform us that amplified music was not allowed on the grounds unless we rented out the entire retreat. Not just the house and cabins, but EVERY NEIGHBORING CAMPGROUND that as far as our party could tell was not advertised as part of the retreat. We abided to their wishes but the situation left a sour taste in our party's mouth as it was a poorly communicated rule not given to us prior to our stay. We had a nice weekend despite the hitch in our plans to Karaoke but we probably will find a more lenient campground to stay at next time we decide to escape the city. I mean, who doesn't wanna do karaoke? ‍ TL;DR Cabins are nice, beds are NOT. WiFi is spotty at best. Pool is small. Views are nice. Poorly communicated rules are NOT NICE.

Only a mile off a noisy highway, but you'd think you were worlds away. Our group rented 2 units - the Coyote and the Steel Magnolia. I was ready to move in to the Coyote forever. Our host thought of EVERYTHING for our comfort and convenience - even kits to make S'mores (long forks included). Ice was ready in the freezer and there was a Kuerig with several pods of coffee. Water pressure in the shower was great and there seemed to be plenty of hot water. The queen bed was quite comfortable and the Austin-themed decor was a lot of fun. If we had had more time to just hang around, I'm sure we would have used the propane fire pit.. The Steel Magnolia Airstream was great fun for our daughter and grandson. She's always wanted to go on the road with an Airstream. This way she got to experience the Airstream without towing it from place to place. Again, the host thought of everything. Instructions to check in/out were very clear. The location was very close to many amenities, but yet you felt relaxed and away from all the hub bub. I would definitely stay there again if the opportunity arose.

They're rustic and quaint, with a lovely porch overlooking nice grounds with a fire pit and covered patio. The reason we're not giving a higher rating has to do with the little things. First, we gave ourselves plenty of time to get there so we could have time to change and get ready for attending a wedding. We couldn't locate the code to get into the cabin because it was sent from an email different from the confirmation email and it went into spam (for everyone in our party). Finally someone found the email and told us what name to search so we could find the email buried in our spam. This could've been easily avoided if the confirmation email mentioned the person the email would be coming from. This set us behind a solid 20 min. Second, when we tried calling the phone number no one answered and no one returned our calls. If you're running a business someone should be available during the stay to assist with small issues that arise. Third, the light over the couch didn't work, we noticed that someone else had reported this issue but it still had not been fixed (and someone labeled her "AKA Karen" in the guestbook for a similar review). But really it's the little details that could easily set this spot apart. There was only one washcloth and one hand towel, not two for two people. They only provided decaf coffee in several of the cabins. Last, for the price we chose a spot in wine country you would think they would have a wine opener or even some wine glasses. This was not a cheap stay so we were all a bit taken aback by the small appointments that were missing.

We booked one of their rentals several months ago in advance for the upcoming Formula One race in October and now, months later and after most places are fully booked up and prices have skyrocketed, they canceled our reservation. They are no doubt going to re-list the property for a higher rate as it's clear in reading other reviews, they're no stranger to price gouging. We will be appealing with Airbnb no doubt - just unfortunate as now there are extremely limited options available and everything has gone up immensely in price. Steer clear of dealing with this company at all costs - they will leave you high and dry whenever it is convenient for them. Thanks for ruining our Austin F1 trip, price gouger. *** also worth noting, the positive reviews here seem to be from people who's properties they manage - in other words, those who would benefit from their crooked practice of price gouging*** check it for yourself!

Just disappointing we paid over $5000 for a 3 night stay & had mostly sleepless nights due to the temperature being so hot.

The maintenance team could not have been nicer & acknowledged the temperature difference between the bedrooms & the rest of the house. Management argued their acknowledgment & indicated that maintenance found no issues.
