Awesome Location

We had a family-and-friends get together in Austin for the 4th of July weekend and stayed at this house. It was perfect. Everything in the house worked great, including the air conditioning which was a huge life saver being the 4th of the July and all. Many bedrooms with many sleeping options also came in handy for our large group. The location of the house is incredible - probably the best you'll find out there. The owner was also extremely responsive via txt, phone calls, and e-mails.

Family Reunion

My family meets up once a year in different states each year and this year we chose Austin TX. We loved our reunion this year. Everything was so great from the location to the hospitality. The home was perfect for us and we were able to walk to so many places from there, some of us took the bus and roamed around the beautiful city. I'm definitely recommending this home to anyone that wants to visit Austin. The home itself is full of history, everything in it is original, the sleeping arrangements were great and they even had an air mattress for us. We ended up cooking the majority of our meals which saved us a ton of money and it felt like we were all back under the same roof, felt like old times. I hope we vote on Austin again so we can come back and finish exploring the city.

Beautiful home, WONDERFUL location

Me and a group of friends from California flew to Austin for ACL and were lucky enough to stay in this charming home. We were able to walk to Congress in about 10 minutes, and if we needed to go anywhere else, we got an uber that hardly costed anything! We didn't need to rent a car for the trip, which saved us an exponential amount of money (more money to spend at ACL!). All of the rooms were extremely clean and beautifully furnished. There were more than enough beds for us to sleep in, and the hosts made sure we knew were all of the extra blankets were placed in case we needed them. There was also a washer and a dryer for us to use (although we didn't end up needing it). Fast wi-fi, a HUGE cable TV, and a kitchen full of enough dishes and supplies to cook with were also huge perks. For the great price and great location, we will definitely be coming back next year. Overall a great experience!

Great place for our weekend girls getaway

We hosted a girls weekend getaway here last weekend and had a wonderful time. The house was very comfortable, spacious and ideal for 12 women. Everything was within a 10-minute drive of where we needed to be. The weekend itself was extremely cold for us (in the 30's and 40's) and had some issues with heating the house when we arrived (the fireplace is a little tricky) but the manager was super responsive by phone. Overall though, for the price and location this was a wonderful place to stay. Will definitely book here again for my next trip to Austin.
