Great weekend away with friends

This house was a perfect oasis for our very fun girl's trip to Austin in late June. After site-seeing all day, we thoroughly enjoyed the cocktail pool and the cozy deck as welcome places to relax. The kitchen and bathrooms are gorgeous and the beds were wonderful. The house is an easy, short car ride from everything fun. Thanks so much for a great place to stay.

This house was perfect for 5 adults; 3 bedrooms- comfortable beds, unique fun decorating, Austin music and Austin "weird" themed. The weather was fabulous and we thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor spaces. The home is 10 min from most any place you want to go in Austin. Many fabulous food locations to eat!!

An Austin Hidden Gem!

Property was fabulous overall! We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this beautiful home, with plenty of room to entertain with a ton of amenities(coffee station was excellent). It was great to be within a few minutes of all the downtown austin hot spots. We only had some minor confusion at check-in that was a bit frustrating but the hosts Lyn and Jerry were quick to rectify the situation. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed here for our family holiday weekend, the despite the rain, the house was a great spot for me and my family! The kitchen was our favorite, a great gathering spot, and though we couldn’t use the outdoor area very much it was great to have. The pull out sofa was a little uncomfy, but still got the job done.

Great 3 day trip in Austin

This property is so pretty. Kitchen was beautiful and had everything we needed, very clean and updated. It was a quick girls weekend to visit my niece in Austin. It was just the right size for five women. We loved the cocktail pool, big enough to cool off and sit around the sides. The many outside seating areas had great outdoor furniture and the side deck next to the kitchen was convenient to have our coffee in the morning. Our hostess was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed.

Cancelled at the last minute

We were unable to stay at this property, as our reservation was cancelled the morning of the confirmed booking. I had not received an access code, so I called VRBO's call center. After 1 1/2 hours on the phone with the call center, I learned that the property owner had not maintained their VRBO calendar and had double booked the property, We were denied access to the property.
