Quiet, relaxing home

We greatly enjoyed staying at this home that was close to the Capitol, the university, downtown, and many bus routes. It provided complete privacy in this busy city. Waking up to the cooing of mourning doves added to its calmness.

Nice little place!

The property is beautiful with trees and a nice table and chairs outside. The inside is nice and you can tell it is an historical house. Loved all the books, especially the tiny ones! Comes with a friendly cat which we enjoyed.

Fantastic little spot

We had a fantastic time in Austin and our hosts were very welcoming and considerate. This property was walking distance to all the things we wanted to see. The garden was the perfect spot for morning coffee. I would recommend this property to any couple visiting Austin.

The property was wonderful. The hosts have devoted much time and effort to providing thoughtful touches throughout. It was perfect for our needs, a two-day stay near downtown. It would be equally well-suited for a longer stay as a base from which to explore Austin. The patio with a pecan canopy was a delightful way to close out our first evening there.

Austin getaway

I enjoyed being able to walk all over the city. It was especially nice to have a parking spot at the property. Text responses prior to the trip and during the trip were swift and supportive. Very nice experience for a solo female traveler!

State Capitol area country cabana

Property was a cozy, comfortable suite within a few blocks of the Texas state Capitol building. Not a lot of space but plenty for a couple & efficiently used to pack in a generous supply of amenities (TV with streaming services, fridge, microwave, coffee maker & wonderful selection of books & guides to local services). The original floors & cabinetry were beautifully restored to give it a real homey feel.
