Home Away From Home

My stay was fantastic! I was greated with music and a complimentary snack. The beds were very comfortable. The shower was hot and wonderful. There's a screened in porch area, which would be great in warmer weather! Laundry on site and parking! Travis Heights is one of the best neighborhoods in Austin, hands down. I come in for work trips a lot and I think I found my home away from home!

Hidden Treasure

A secluded light filled gem just blocks from South Congress. We felt comfortable from the moment we walked in. The booking and verification process took minutes, and there were no reasons to call our hosts as the instructions were clear and we had everything we needed.

Overnight State Capitol/SBOE trip

We arrived before check in time and although we weren't able to get into the house yet, we were able to leave our car parked in driveway so we could catch an Uber to the Capitol for a meeting. After a long day, we arrived to the lights dimmed, soothing music playing, and everything was super clean. The furniture was comfy and we actually tried two of the suggested restaurants (The Magnolia Cafe for Breakfast and Top Notch Burger for Lunch) - they were great! Would definitely stay here again!
