Both properties are excellent. Comfortable, close to everything, and super clean.The hosts are always responsive. This is my third time staying on their property.
Wonderful little townhouse for my family of four to visit Austin. Everything was clean and well appointed, great communication with our host. Highly recommend this spot if you were looking for somewhere safe, clean, and convenient!
We picked this location for Bookfest, everything was in walking distance which was a huge plus for us! We loved the trees and met a very friendly raccoon! The Hosts are super friendly and welcoming they make sure we are taken care of!We will definitely stay again!
Very conveniently located (within walking distance) to so many places/hot spots and to the venue for the show we were there to see. Good communication with the hosts. Cute little place. Would stay here again!
The place was absolutely perfect! We loved the rooftop deck, it was super quiet, friendly and gracious hosts, great selection of books in the house, and tons of privacy. I can't imagine what more we could have asked for (aside from better weather, but you can't blame the hosts for that!)
Wonderful experience! The house was just as expected and the location was great for walking! Could not have asked for better hosts. They were very responsive and great to work with!
Great house in great location. Home was perfect for our group and loved the use of all of the spaces. Hosts were super helpful Would love stay here again for next trip to ATX.
We stayed here while going to Austin for a UT Campus tour. This was the perfect place. It was very private with plenty of room for the 3 of us. Lots of restaurants and other attractions in walking distance.
Was a nice quiet spot conveniently located! The place very well organized and well kept! We were in town for an event at the moody center and it was a short drive from there. Lots of places within walking distance. We loved it!
Cozy furnishings, very clean, and great access to the Capitol! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Ted was a great host. We will definitely book here again when back in town for this event.
Loved being close to everything while still being tucked into a peaceful neighborhood! We were in town for a wedding and were less than 2 blocks from Allan House. My elderly parents had no problem walking there and back. We have now gone on a few roadtrips the last couple of years and this was our favorite stay so far. Checking in was a breeze, coffee and the 6 pack in the fridge were a lovely welcoming touch, and communication was easy. We very much enjoyed our stay!
Lovely home in a great location with fantastic hosts! Doesn’t get any better. Great deck to enjoy our morning coffee… well stocked kitchen (and fridge!)
Ted was extraordinarily responsive to every communication & was very accommodating. He provides clear instructions about using everything in the house. He also provides a binder full of excellent information about nearby restaurants, grocery stores, shops, transportation, etc. Lots of local eateries within walking distance. The townhouse looked as pictured. It was clean, rooms were spacious and the 4 adults in our group were easily accommodated. It was great to have private off street parking. Highly recommend this property.

About the host
Hosted by Ted Siff & Janelle Buchanan
We’re Ted, a publisher and parks advocate, and Janelle, a homemaker and actress, and we’ve each called Austin home for over 40 years. We know the neighborhoods, fun spots and beautiful places that make Austin so special, and can answer all your questions about where to find the best margarita, bat viewing, natural swimming hole, barbecue and special night out dining. Interested in music, dance, theatre, or museums? We can guide you to those venues as well.
Why they chose this property
We both chose Austin to go to U.T. But we each chose Austin again to live, work and raise our family. We have grown up as Austin has. Austin is sophisticated but never snooty. You can find world class restaurants and bars, and you can wear your jeans and boots to visit them if you like. Just about any cuisine you prefer is available somewhere in the city, from Tex-Mex to Ethiopian. You can enjoy popular music at the hundreds of clubs around Austin as well as at the top-of-the-line Austin City Limits studio, not to mention the Austin Symphony and Austin Lyric Opera. Oh, and all those festivals: ACL, SXSW, Fun Fun Fun Fest, Moontower Comedy Festival, F-1 racing, and more. If you’re up for a drive, you’re just over an hour away from the Texas Hill Country, with its wineries, beautiful scenery, and German heritage. (Or go an hour east and check out central Texas’ old Czech communities. Have a kolache! Visit the Spoetzel Brewery in Shiner which, during Prohibition, stayed in business by producing near beer plus just a little of the regular kind for “medicinal purposes.”) Diverse? You bet. Friendly? Very.
What makes this property unique
The 11 Oaks Townhouse and its companion, 11 Oaks Suite, are in just about the perfect location – downtown, blocks from some of Austin’s best restaurants and clubs, and walking distance to UT and the Darrel Royal Memorial Stadium, gorgeous hike and bike trails, and great shopping. Because of its proximity to all this plus the Capitol, the Austin Convention Center and the Rio Grande campus of Austin Community College, the neighborhood is bustling during the day but quiet at night. The townhouse is comfortable, warm and welcoming.
