About this property
Cozy cottage w/pool in convenient Highland Park!
Newly delisted after a two year break! Wooded and private central Austin guesthouse with convenient access to all areas of Austin. Our cozy studio guest house is located in a small cul-de-sac in the Highland Park West neighborhood, only 5 miles from downtown Austin. We're in walking distance to a great coffee shop/bakery, book store, gym, an amazing massage place, a park, a grocery store and shopping centers, and a few wonderful restaurants.
The cottage is across the driveway from our main house, and there is plenty of street parking. We have a saltwater pool, a hammock, and plenty of shade in the back yard!
The studio area has a queen-sized bed, a TV with antenna and a Roku with Netflix, Amazon, HBO, etc. apps. There is a window unit a/c and space heaters.
The bathroom is small, but has all of the essentials, including toiletries and hair dryer. There are also two cozy hotel robes, bath towels, and beach towels (for the pool).
There isn’t a full kitchen (no dishwasher or sink), but there is a mini-fridge with freezer, microwave, toaster/toaster oven, keurig, dishes, and utensils. Instacart and Favor also deliver here, which is a great convenience. We provide a few things to get you started: toilet paper, paper towels, water bottles, and trash bags.
Guests are welcome to use our back yard (porch, pool, etc). The yard is fenced in for our dogs, so we require both back gates to be shut at all times.

Michelle was a wonderful host, she was always quick to respond and made sure that we were comfortable and had what we needed. I would recommend this property to my family and friends and we will definitely be returning
Stayed for 5 days while working in Austin. This place is conveniently located with easy access to main roads in a private neighborhood. Hostess was great and has given a lot of attention to detail when setting up this STR. Very clean, well stocked, and great communication. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a small but quiet convenient stay. Would have given it 10 .
It was a cozy little space that never felt too cramped or lacking in amenities. The host was understanding and beyond accommodating. Can’t sing their praises enough!
Michelle was a terrific host. The apartment had everything anyone could need. I had a small problem with the Internet and she replied immediately to fix it. I stayed over NYE and she dropped off bubbly to celebrate. Fabulous!
We recently stayed at this charming little spot. At was perfect for my husband and I. Michelle let us park in the driveway due to inclement weather and even left us a bottle of wine 🙂
Michelle was teriffic and the accommodations included every possible entertainment option. It is only appropriate for one or two people, and they better be best buds. Perfect for a comfortable quick get away!
We really enjoyed our stay and sitting out in the backyard enjoying the lovely Texas weather and scenery.
The location was amazing. Easy to get downtown and come back. It was well stocked with water, and Michelle left us a bottle of wine to enjoy as well.
Michelle was an amazing house. The communication was nothing short of spectacular. We will be back again.
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in this sweet & cozy cottage. It was the perfect size for just the two of us. It was clean & peaceful and was stocked with all the essentials needed. It was especially sweet of Michelle to leave us a nice bottle of wine. It was a nice suprise to come back to outside our door after a long day of walking.
The apartment is great as a place to stay, but not hangout there like in a Hotel. With 1 bed, I don't see it as a place to bring kids or even spend time at the pool (while nice to have, did not seem to be a place to just hangout and enjoy). Facilities are good (fridge, coffee, microwave, etc.) to get you going in the morning - and the area is great (coffee shops, grocery store, etc. - but should be viewed as more of a good place to sleep. ron from kansas
1. Host never communicated with me. Now VRBO IS ignoring me.
2. The property was the worst ever. Dilapidated. Messy, cluttered and filthy.
3. I gotta sue to get my money. I stayed one night the door was unsecured.
Never Again. Don't walk Run guys!
Stayed here on my own instead of paying similar for hotel room, and it was perfect for that. Definitely cozy but bed was comfy, neighborhood was nice and host was responsive during stay. Cold (upper 30s to low 40s) at night, so I had to use the provided plug-in heaters to warm it up a bit. Overall good experience. Would come back if it was just me.
I was in town for business for 4 days. Perfect location and perfect size for me. Michelle was great hostess and communicated well. If you’re looking to experience Austin, this is it.
