We rented this property for a destination family gathering. Six adults shared the 5 bedrooms. The kitchen, dining area and living room easily accommodated us all. The property management was very responsive via text to any questions we had. The property was clean and nicely appointed. The beds appear to be memory foam mattress and pillows. I was a bit dubious as this is very different than what I was used to but found I slept just fine. The location worked well for our needs. It was a quiet mostly residential neighborhood . The weather was colder than we hoped so we didn't enjoy much of the outside area. Dishes, glasses and pantry items were plentiful for our needs. We definitely would choose this property again.

We pull up to the property and there is a “For Sale” sign. That feels good. Lol.The driveway gate is open. Is someone in the house? Is someone in the house?We could not access the front door with the code. I had to call several times to get one that worked.The reason i booked this property was for the fire places. Which were not active!!The property was advertised as gated. But the gate did not close therefore leaving it open. There were a lot homeless wandering around. Our party included 5 young girls. It would have been nice to have a gated property as advertised. The game room had no games. Shuffle board table had no sand. Good thing we brought a deck of cards!!The wi fi did not work until the final day of our stay.Overall it was a failure on your part to give any sort of a Grand Welcome!The property being for sale really says it all. You dont care about the property. It shouldnt be listed as a short term rental.

The house was great. Very spacious, clean, and had everything we needed during our stay. Also the location is perfect for walking to restaurants, bars, coffee shops, grocery stores, etc. on the east side. Neighborhood is quiet.

A beautiful house, much prettier than the online photos. Great for our large family group. Perfect location. One thing that could be improved is that the king bed is ultra-soft - I wish it were firmer. Other than that, it was a perfect home.
Home was great. Really well decorated and everything was high end. Great outdoor space to relax and talk with friends.

Incredible stay
This house was everything we wanted and more. We all couldn't stop saying how we didn't want to leave! Everyone had plenty of space and the kitchen was incredible. We played some of the games left in the game closet and hooked up a Nintendo switch in the living room and overall had an amazing weekend. The location is very close to so many great restaurants and activities.

Clean and secure property!
Our stay was great and the team was fairly attentive. The property was clean and a perfect fit for our group! Only issue was that we were having hot water issues and they tried to send someone to troubleshoot. However, when their solution did not work, we did not receive any other options to fix it. Also, with the electric door code deactivating at 10 am, be sure not to leave anything behind! We were unable to open the door minutes after we left to retrieve a forgotten item. Getting ahold of the company took almost an hour to figure out how to get back in. But they did send someone out to help and fixed our issues. Thanks team!

Great spot
Very comfortable and quiet spot close to downtown. East Austin is an awesome place to walk into eateries and bars. Clean area, no trouble, safe. The gated house was super secure and safe. We absolutely loved the property. Definitely booking again.

Austin Farmhouse
The house was amazingly clean and located in a very cool neighborhood. There are a couple of items that are preventing a 5 star rating. For example, all the mattresses were too soft and the pillows were too hard making for a less than optimal sleep. When we arrived, we had to do a semi scavenger hunt to make sure we had enough towels for all guests. There were no throw blankets so hanging out on the sofa to watch the tv was chilly, and the television required a code which was only provided when I reached back to the property manager. The positive is that although our door code didn't work, the property management company was easily accessible and help to resolve the issue. With a few improvements (especially the beds), I would consider staying here again.
