This is an oasis at the edge of a city. With a lily pond and beautiful grounds. If you want to feel like you’re in a home and not a tiny condo this is your place. It’s very unique on the outside with a living room, dining room, kitchen and bedroom. Washer and dryer iron board really everything you need. I wanted to South Congress and went shopping. Had a fabulous meal Uber back and it was only five dollars for the Uber. Went walking every day on the walking trails along the river. This is my second time here I stayed a week both times and I loved it. Enjoy. PS the owner even left English muffins yogurt and Mandarin oranges. Tea coffee. Like I said everything you need.

Great oasis

We liked this property! It was a 10-15 minute drive to everywhere we wanted to go. A short walk to an entrance to the path around the lake. Great views of downtown. It was sweet that there were flowers on the table for our anniversary and breakfast foods, fruit, and coffee for us when we arrived. Plenty of towels and toilet paper! I appreciated that Raymond had both recycling and composting.The place was comfortable and well designed. As the listing states, there are stairs to get to the house!

Enchanting property

My plane was extremely late arriving in Austin. I arrived at the property at midnight and Raymond the host greeted me and even carried my luggage to my room. Upon entering the room it looked beautifully decorated and as the listings portrayed. Also the host had left a fruit bowl with apples, tangerines, and grapes. Also English muffins, butter and Nutella. I love everything about this property including onsite parking. I enjoyed the library of unusual books, Koi pond and the unique landscaping. I’ll be back!!

Lovely Stay in a Great Location

We were in Austin for the first football game of the season. The location was fantastic - easy access to SoCo and the path around LBL. We received a warm welcome, along with a bowl of fruit and chocolates, English muffins and fresh ground coffee. The home is thoughtfully designed and incredibly clean. We are looking forward to staying here again!

Raymond and Christy’s home is charming, warm , eclectic. Raymond welcomed us personally and made us feel immediately at home even though it was 11:30 pm due to our flight arrival time The home is a short walk to the river boardwalk for morning runs and easy mile walk to a neighborhood park to see one of the famous Moon towers! If we ever visit Austin again - we will make it a priority to book Raymond’s and Christy’s home again

Visited the state capital, took a tour of Austin City Limits at the Moody Theatre, then attended a concert there. Walked on the Boardwalk along Ladybird Lake. Had beer and brats at Scholz Garten. Raymond and Christy met us when we arrived, and got us settled in. Accommodations were excellent!
