Lovely, comfortable, and quiet! It's official my favorite place to stay in Austin and will book again. It's close to Congress and a short drive to downtown. Scott & Cindy are amazing hosts and their dogs are very sweet. They provide information on places to eat and things to do. They made sure we were taken care of and always replied quickly.It's a such nice place to stay, very clean, and great place to relax. All the comforts of home are taken care of for you.

This was for sure one of our best VRBOs. The photos looked nice, the place was even better in person. Close to LOTS of stuff in the area as well. The yard was awesome to hang out in and the neighborhood is solid. Really, really happy with this rental.
