Very cozy home in a great location!

This was such a great home to stay in while we were in town visiting family. It was so cozy and comfortable - had everything and more than we could have possibly needed. Great location just across the river from downtown Austin and just down the street from so many great restaurants and shopping! Plenty of room for our little family of four and a great backyard to hang out in and enjoy the beautiful weather. We will definitely stay here again!

Charming Austin house

Great stay in this charming home. We have stayed here several times and are always delighted by the hospitality of the hosts who provide breakfast fixings, snacks and a margarita set up:) The house has everything we need, a comfortable bed and a big backyard for our dogs. We find it so relaxing and the location is near Zilker, which is perfect for walks, runs and a brisk swim. We will be back ASAP!!

Cute, cozy home with great location

Stayed here while attending SXSW and had a great time. The decor is really cool and I felt like a true Austinite - hah! I slept on the murphy bed and it was super comfy. The margarita station was a nice touch, too, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Great location - you're no more than a 15 minute Lyft ride away from restaurants, theaters, downtown, etc. Highly recommend.

If you want to walk into a place and feel like you are in a loving home, this is the place for you. From the margarita bar left for guests to the fridge full of fresh fruit, milk, juice, eggs and other items perfect to make breakfast daily. All the extra touches were so thoughtful and made such a difference. We stay in rentals a lot and this had so many more extras that made a difference in our stay.

Margaritas and More

We had a wonderful stay at the Davis house. The location is terrific and being welcomed with homemade margarita supplies and a fully stocked fridge was sublime. We were grateful to the Davis’ for letting us use their home for a bit of an extended stay, but we also felt bad for the inconvenience of them being out of their house for that long. Our dogs loved the backyard, and the countless books and decorations leant a very Austin feel to the home.

A lot of character

We have stayed at a lot of rental properties, but this one stands out for having real character. The music, art, and book collections were amazing. The kitchen was well appointed and we were able to locate everything we needed to cook. We also appreciated the very nice welcoming touches. Thank you for allowing us to share your home.

Perfect for ACL

Great little house and home base for ACL. My youngest son called it an ACL themed house. It’s evident the owners are both music lovers and cooks! They left a fully stocked fridge and all the kitchen stuff to whip up anything you could think of. Both beds weee comfortable, quality sheets and towels!! I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful Home and Hosts!

The home had everything I needed and the hosts were incredibly generous with pantry and refrigerator items - all the way down to fresh fruit, juice, coffee, and breakfast taco fixings. Great old Austin / Sante Fe / West Texas vibe with decor. Comfortable beds and pillows. Fresh herbs in the garden plots. And even some hens nearby to delight you with their funny calls. Close to all the central/south Austin attractions. Great spot!

Zilker respite

John and Kathy were gracious, generous, and responsive hosts. Their home was perfect for my wife and me as a home base for exploring the Austin area. We were able to walk to downtown, the Barton Creek greenbelt, and the Zilker Botanical Garden. All wonderful walks. The home was as presented online. The kitchen and home was well supplied with everything we needed. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. We will return if ever in Austin again. Thank you John and Kathy!

Great Location and A Taste of Austin

Great location in Zilker Park area and close to just about everything in the downtown area. Great restaurants within a very short drive, though a tad too far to walk. Major grocery stores about 10 minutes by car. Neighborhood is very nice and felt very safe, a mix of older and newer homes. Mostly professional people and retirees. Not many students in this area. We did some late night walking and felt very safe. House was older but clean and had a well stocked kitchen, refrigerator and complimentary margarita bar! House has a quirky Austin vibe with lots of music posters and Southwest art. Beds were comfortable. Would stay here again.

Dang those fruit flies! We had a pineapple out on the counter which probably attracted them. We're glad you enjoyed the place, though, and hope you will plan a fruit fly-free return visit soon. Thanks for the feedback.

Charming South Austin house

The house in South Austin is charming and has delights for the eye in every room. The fenced backyard was ideal for our dog and great for relaxing in under the shady trees. The owners are very gracious hosts and provide margarita fixings as well as the ingredients for breakfast tacos which we enjoyed immensely. Great stay!
