Best Home Away From Home If You Lived in a Southern Mansion

Lazy Oaks Inn

Just stepping onto the property of this South Austin B&B is an invitation to ease life's tensions. Take a hint from the sprawling live oaks that greet visitors onto the lazy lawn: You don't need to be anywhere but here right now, so why not relax? Gracious hosts Renee and Kevin Buck purchased the majestic mansion back in 1995, renovated it with an exquisite eye for honoring, yet not obsessing over, the past, and have been running it as one of Austin's finest B&Bs ever since. The elegant rooms are furnished to a T? expressing aesthetics classic and modern, simple and lavish, with one common thread: comfort and oooh! aaaahhh! relaxation for all.
