Perfect Getaway

This property was in a really beautiful part of Austin. It’s a cute neighborhood with some walkable places in the area. We loved how quiet and private the property was even with being so close to things to do!

Cute and full personality

We absolutely love the little cute cottage. The master bedroom is massive, and the extra room was great as an additional space. It's in a good location, a quiet neighborhood, and is clean. We loved and appreciated the art!!

Great property close to downtown

We were able to walk or cycle to everything we wanted to see or do. The property was much quieter than I expected and nicely decorated.

clean, convenient, comfortable

The place was exactly as advertised and comfortable. (Checkin was rough due to house numbers being different than stated on vrbo, and the remote lock combination had to be reset, but that was the only frustrating 20 minutes of the stay.)

Perfect!

Exactly as listed! Beautiful, clean and the bed was awesome. A tad tricky to find, for the Uber drivers too, but manageable. Would stay again!!

Sweet Retreat

Beautiful, new on the inside, immaculate cottage. So hard to find (wrong numbers on street post) but well worth the effort. Super comfortable, cool. Owners thought of everything. Amazing kitchen, zen garden and super comfortable beds. Can't wait to go back!

Difficult to locate

Great location, though EXTREMELY difficult to find. I come to Austin often and know that area very well and still was difficult to find even using google maps. Hidden down an unmarked alley. Property was clean and well stocked with essentials.

We didn’t cook as we were always eating out. It might have been nice to have some coffee in the cupboard as the nearest store was a long walk away. Neighbours were friendly and the house was quiet.

It was a gem- hidden away, very clean, everything new and well kept. The driveway was a bit tricky to get in and out, but well worth it. Would book it again.

Lovely well-appointed cottage in a good location. Host graciously let us enter earlier in the day and was quite responsive when we had trouble with the A/C. However, be aware that in order to complete your booking, even after your deposit has gone through, you will be required to upload to a website (not VRBO) three forms of personal identification (picture, driver’s license or passport and birthdate). We are careful to protect our identity and would have booked elsewhere had we known in advance that this would be required.

It was lovely - very clean, well appointed. They have some very interesting art. Feels very private and secluded even though it’s in such a densely populated area. It's very close to downtown, with easy access to great restaurants, coffee shops, Whole Foods, the Capitol, and UT. The cottage is tricky to find -- fortunately, we used Google Maps street view to detect the teeny alley, which is the driveway off the main road. I ended up dealing with an external rental agency with very strict rules -- for example, one of our travelers experienced a sudden death in the family, and we were unable to reschedule our stay without losing the full rental price.
