Testimonials
“We rented space at The Writing Barn for our small family reunion and couldn't have been happier. Plenty of space and rental options, cold A/C, great service and communication. If you're having a small event, I recommend renting some space here ASAP.”

“This is a lovely space tucked away in South Austin. We held a day long staff retreat for 17 people, with a potluck lunch. The grounds and buildings are well taken care of, and there were plenty of tables and chairs to accommodate our activities. Highly recommend for teams looking to get out of the office for a day to brainstorm and plan.”

“Austin has its own "Walden Pond," and it lies quietly in a woods in south Austin. The Writing Barn waits for any person who writes now or wishes they could get started writing. It waits for you in a thicket of mesquites, oaks, and cedar trees along with a host of cicadas.”
— Chuck F.
“I recently had my wedding at the Writing Barn and it could not have been more perfect! We rented the space for the weekend and Bethany and Vivek were so wonderfully accommodating and laid back, which I truly appreciated. It was the ideal space for an intimate, backyard-style wedding and all of our guests were in awe of how magically beautiful it was!”
