Nov 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Austin Oasis! This is probably the best property I've stayed at in Austin, and I've stayed in about a dozen Central Texas properties. Incredibly eccentric in a good way! The owner is an incredible artist and you are reminded of his talent in every room, with finished pieces or paintings that are works in progress. And the the backyard has had some serious love poured into it, with a heavily Japanese design influence pervasive through the structures, Zen gardens, standalone tea room, and multiple areas lounge and relax amongst your live-in cat and tortoise co-occupants. I will be returning here the next time I need a relaxing break! ##### Brad L. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael D. Mar 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Hidden Gem Tony is the man! A true artist who takes pride in the work he has done with his property. I fought with myself to even write this review because this place is Austins hidden GEM. A true retreat for people wanting the full Austin experience. Tony was very accommodating with our large group of 9 guests. We were very comfortable the whole time and felt right at home. Each room is an experience with his art and to cap it all off the backyard is a sanctuary in itself. We bbq, had a fire pit, and enjoyed the overall vibe of this property. Were all artists ourselves so that was a major PLUS. We will be back for sure. ##### Michael D. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jennifer E. Feb 23, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Very awkward layout Well. We booked this place because of the glowing reviews so we felt we needed to tell the truth about this place. The art is very cool. The yard is nice. The neighborhood seems safe and is quirky. Really nothing much to walk to, but I learned Austin is a place where you drive everywhere. You can tell it’s well loved and inhabited by a creative. However. In order to access the yard you have to walk through either the bathroom or a bedroom. The house is so cluttered it could never truly be clean. We made it through the long weekend but we all could hardly wait to be out of there. ##### Jennifer E. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lora J R.

This was a really cool place to stay. Though it may not be for everyone and the layout was a bit strange, we really enjoyed our stay. 10 adults can sleep comfortably, including 2 elderly grandmas. The backyard is a paradise and Shelly (the Turtle) was so cool. We had a blast feeding her. Tony was a lovely host and answered all our questions. He even gave us suggestions for the area and accommodated our last-minute late check-out request. ##### Meghan S. Stayed 6 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Meglis D. May 16, 2019 #### Accessible location, comfortable home Pros: Easy to get around Austin. The house is comfortable. We loved the turtle and enjoyed the backyard. My 3 year old daughter loved the place. Tony was very welcoming and easy to reach. Cons: place needs dusting and we had to wash things in the kitchen before we used them. We had a little bit of rain and didn’t like seeing 2 big cockroaches inside the house. Overall, good for our needs. ##### Meglis D. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda B. Apr 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Son's wedding This property was very enjoyable. Tony, the owner, is an artist who clearly has spent years loving this house, decorating it with his art and a collection of items he loves and has collected from his travels. From the art on the walls to the Japanese garden to Shelly the tortoise you never run out of things to look at, corners to explore, and places to relax. We had three different generations of family staying at the house and there was literally something for everyone to enjoy from flat screen tvs to antique and vintage furniture. We enjoyed the living room which is not large but very comfortable with plenty of seating for everyone as well as time spent sitting in the gardens in the evenings. If you are looking for a modern day cookie cutter home this is not for you but if you are looking for something distinctly Austin then this is your place. Thanks Tony for the great tour and for sharing your home and art!! ##### Linda B.

Tony is great! When I say he's the host with the most, I mean IT! He welcomed us with snacks, a personalized birthday sign along with giving us tons of Austin sights to see info. His place had more than enough sleeping room, where part of the group stayed in his bungalows. The back yard is ideal for enjoying music, drinks & your friends. Once you are in the backyard, you won't want to leave, actually when you go the house in general, you won't want to leave. Just a super chill homey place with the owners positive energy flowing throughout the place. The house is filled with artwork and great detail throughout. He had about everything you'd need, including grill to cookout, bicycles, games & the ultimate patio. We felt right at home and it was hard for us to leave! When we head back to Austin we will be back to visit Shelly :) ##### Jeri F. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Weems Dec 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house, great host A wonderful unique house with an excellent and accommodating host.
