House was nice and big, there are no shades on any of the windows, so the house does get really hot. Beautiful space though, clean. Refridgerator was dirty and the upstairs washer also but not huge deals. Bigger deal for me was that they included a damage waiver for 250 that you are unable to remove and is also non refundable, a bit tricky how they sneak that on in

Perfect location to explore Austin

This house was had the best bedroom layout for couples going on a trip to Austin. Everyone has their separate rooms and then can gather in the huge living/kitchen area. Tons of sitting and great outdoor patio. We explored all of Austin and loved this location. Thank you!

Great meet up location

Our group from all over North America got together for a great weekend. We even had a few friends stay at a near by hotel. It’s close to the park and river activities and a scooter or uber to downtown. After smelling the BBQ in the backyard we had to cater dinner one night from Terry Black’s BBQ.

Phenomenal location, gorgeous stay

This house exceeded my expectations. The house was in a great location, very walkable, with a gorgeous view of downtown. The house itself was modern, functional, and full of the little touches you love to see in a VRBO (baskets of throw blankets, board games, a well stocked kitchen). I didn’t reach out to the host during the stay, but they were very communicative prior to check in. I would highly recommend this property.

Great Austin spot

The house is very well-maintained, has a great vibe and is in a great part of Austin. Be prepared for the management company to gather info on all adult guests (cell phone, email address, DOB, etc.) and for a cleaning crew to come every morning (around 9am) with a card that says if you don’t let them in, you’ll be charged an extra $100/day.

Weekend Girls Trip

This property was perfect for a quick weekend girls trip. Plenty of space in the living room area for lounging with guests. The living room leads to the outdoor deck which has views of downtown Austin. The master bedroom was spacious and the bathroom was huge! The house was updated with very comfortable beds, new kitchen appliances, and a large wine cooler! Highly recommend staying here for a girls trip or with a few couples!

Austin Food & Wine Festival

My group of 12 friends very much enjoyed our stay at the Daniel House in Austin. The house has a modern vibe, a great view of the city, and was well equipped for everything to enjoy our stay. Our sleeping arrangements were comfortable for 12, and we had plenty of room throughout the house. The location was absolutely perfect for experiencing the food & wine festival, with the grounds being less than 10 minutes walking distance. Would definitely stay at the Daniel house again for our next group trip.

Austin Mom's Weekend

We had a wonderful time. The house is great. Only thing I wish was different - one more restroom. And I wish they put down rugs... I'm not very sensitive to noise when I sleep but you can literally hear every single thing in the house. Location is great and modern decor is beautiful.

College Reunion Girls Trip

We loved the house! From day one, we were so comfortable and enjoyed everything it had to offer. The living room is the ideal place to have a glass of wine and catch up. Everyone had their private space in the well-appointed bedrooms. The kitchen has all the amenities needed to create anything from a basic snack to spectacular meals. We ate out most nights but did cook up some really great breakfasts before we ventured out for yoga, hiking, shopping, breweries, restaurants, and live music (and more!). The weather was so-so, and it was nice to get back to this house, which felt like a sanctuary. It doesn't hurt that it is right around the corner from Terry Black's BBQ and El Alma... Don't hesitate to book this gem. Side note - our group had 2 cars and they fit in the (very steep) driveway. It may even fit a 3rd if that is important to your group.
