Shannon and her home were the highlight of our trip. she was so beyond accommodating and the house was beautiful in the best location. Highly recommend staying here!!!
The home is perfect for a weekend with friends. It was well stocked with everything we needed, plenty of bedrooms and great outdoor space off the kitchen--and the location was convenient for us to either walk or take a short Uber ride. Definitely recommend.
We stayed at Shannon's house for a bachelorette and it was PERFECT- location, amenities, layout, the works. Her home is beautifully decorated and outfitted with everything you'd need for a weekend away. Walkable to Lady Bird Trail, Juiceland, Target, Bars, Coffee and more. Would 100% stay here again!
Stayed here for my 30th birthday weekend and it was absolutely perfect. Rooms were quiet if people were playing music in the kitchen / living room, comfortable beds, walking distance to 6th st bars, Rainey st! Host communication was awesome, would 100% recommend anyone to stay here!
Shannon was a wonderful host. Great communication leading up to our visit. The house and outdoor area has wonderful space for a large group while still having amazing sleeping accommodations. I can’t recommend this house and host enough. Thanks Shannon.
This really is a charming historic house in Downtown Austin. We were a family of 8 ranging in age from 31 to 70 from around the country meeting for Thanksgiving. There are plenty of bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen and dining area, and the location was great. We were able to explore much of the city -- mostly on foot -- from this spot. Highly recommend!
I stayed here to celebrate my 30th birthday with friends. The owner was so understanding and accommodating to allow us to host a dinner to celebrate. The home was lovely and within walking distance to Rainey
Shannon was absolutely amazing in accommodating our group of gals! She was super flexible and communicative making check in/ check out smooth. The location is an easy walk/ uber to all Austin musts. To top it off, the house is just gorgeous! Thank you!!
We are 3 friends who went to college together and then moved to different parts of the country. We reunited with our families for a few days during the thanksgiving break. The house was spacious, comfortable and clean. Lots of room for groups to hang out in lots of spaces. We especially loved hanging around the fire pit! Highly recommend!
Overall we had a great stay.
Positives: Bachelorette drawer with extra supplies!!
Lots of space and seating.
Comfortable beds.
Excellent communication from the host.
Really fun outdoor space - though admittedly we did not take advantage because it was so hot.
Negatives: There were not parking permits so we had to find street parking which was hit or miss.
There were a lot of homeless people in the area so it wasn't as walkable as we were hoping.
We had the BEST stay for my sister’s bachelorette. We were a group of 14 girls and felt comfortable and safe the entire time. The home is massive and has great common areas both inside and outside for the group. The bedrooms are large and comfortable, with 3 bedrooms conjoining to each other (which was a lot of fun for the girls group!) The house is a safe walking distance to Rainey Street, which we only did during the day, and a short Uber/Fetii to all other popular locations. The host Shannon is extremely accommodating and communicative! She allowed us to drop our luggage super early and then come back to decorate prior to check in time while she finished preparing the home. The extra decorations left behind were also a big hit! The house has everything you need: from extra tape to sharpies to a ton of dishware. I highly recommend this property for your next group trip!
Our group had a nice stay at Shannon’s place. Check in was smooth, she was very responsive to any questions, and the back yard was great for hanging out and entertaining.
The space & accommodations were perfect...just a little dusty

Great house in convenient location
This house was amazing for a large group. About a 10-15 minute ride to 6th street and closer to Rainey. Very convenient location and great responsive hosts. The backyard is great for hot weather with lots of shade .
My team stayed here for a team offsite. It was wonderful to have this big space for meetings, breakfast, and sunset drinks. The space is beautiful also and Shannon was incredibly responsive and helpful! Hope to be back next year!
I stayed here with a group of 10 women (all in our 40s) for our annual girls trip. The house is fantastic, plenty of room for all of us, and just a very unique, historic home. The location is also great, super close to downtown if you don’t mind walking or a short karaoke-cab ride away. Yes they have karaoke-cabs here! Shannon was very responsive the few times we had a question and the house is well-stocked with anything you need. Would definitely stay again!
Had a great time! plenty of room for 12 of us. clean and kitchen was stocked full. we only wish it was closer to town. Did have to uber everywhere which they did come in a few min every time so wasn't a big deal. Had lots of great memories!
Great communication with property manager! House had plenty of room and was very cozy. A couple of minor issues (garbage not being picked up and no where for us to toss garbage, and a leak in the bathroom), but we managed and Shannon was great in helping to accommodate us!
We visited Austin for a wedding and since we had mix of ages with our guest we wanted to stay closer to downtown for restaurants and things to do, and this property was perfect for that! We loved that it was a historical style home but updated and functional. We traveled with little ones ranging from 9 months to 3 years old and there was plenty of space and the home felt safe for our group. The back deck was so nice to hang out and eat as a group. We loved this rental so much, if we go back to Austin we will definitely be returning!

Decent
Overall decent experience but not exactly what we were expecting- owner was there upon arrival still preparing the home for 45 minutes (check-in was 4pm, we arrived about 4:05pm), not impeccably clean, lots of items broken throughout the home (upstairs shower curtain, bathroom door handle, one of the beds). However the mattresses were very comfy, the ac felt great, the outdoor seating in the back was nice. Overall, nice home for big groups.
