Such a wonderful stay! The hosts were awesome and we had an Easter egg hunt in the place. The kids loved it!

This was a perfect house for a weekend in Austin for our family of 4. Easy check-in and out, very clean, equipped kitchen, and plenty of space. Walking distance to UT, good coffee, and running trails.

This house was beautiful and spacious. I wish the primary bedroom, closet, and bathroom in my home was 1/2 the size of those in this house. Great location and great communication with the owner. Would definitely recommend this house!

We had a great stay at this house. Very clean and comfortable furniture. Reid was a great host and very responsive. The front yard could use a bit of upkeep, but otherwise this was a perfect property for a long weekend with family.

The property is nestled in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to restaurants/bars and a convenience store that has authentic Mexican food cooked in the store.
The property is clean and relatively new construction.

We came to see our son, a UT student. This property was perfect for us in size, location and amenities. The cowboy pool provided us entertainment for our “chill” day! Very clean and updated.

Thank you for choosing our property for your visit! We're thrilled to hear that it was the perfect fit in terms of size, location, and amenities. It's great to know you enjoyed the cowboy pool on your 'chill' day. We take pride in keeping everything clean and updated for our guests, and we look forward to hosting you again when you're visiting your son at UT
This rental did provide all that we needed but have to say too many cabinets that do not hold anything. Beds very comfortable. Locating this house could prove a bit difficult if finding in the dark. Would stay here again!

Thank you for staying in our comfortable house, Sharon! We'd love to host you again! 🤗
Great stay! The only issue was the property being a duplex. I was under the impression it was a stand alone house. We had a loud neighbor on the adjoining wall. The owner quickly handled our concern with the other renter.

We're glad you had a great stay and apologize for the inconvenience you encountered, Brian! We'd love to have you back! 🤠
We were in Austin for a work trip that required us to be at the UT Baseball stadium. This property was a great location! So close (walking distance) to a few local restaurants that were tasty! The property was incredibly clean and the cowboy pool was in great condition-a fun addition to a city stay. The house faces a secluded (but safe) alley and it feels so tucked away and secure. There are even some cute pugs at the school next door that you can see every once in a while when they’re looking for food. Communication with the host was clear and efficient. We also LOVED that the checkout list was so simple- no requests for doing laundry or running the dishwasher like many other places. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location and a very nice property. All the amenities for a family.
3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and a full kitchen and washer/dryer made our stay in Austin very enjoyable. Location was great - right next to downtown, the Capitol and UT. Lots of restaurants to choose from.
