Feels like home

This property is great! It is perfectly located just outside downtown and a short ride from the airport! The photos are very accurate and the house is very comfortable for a large group. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The house is graciously stocked for families/large groups. The owner is extremely responsive prior to and throughout the the stay.

Christmas in Austin

What a wonderful stay. We filled the house and little studio with family and Sarah couldn't have been a better host. Decorated Christmas tree included! The place was perfect for our get together, right down to the piano. We baked and cooked and the place was comfortable and perfect for our stay. Family runs along the river, too. Thanks Sarah

Great, clean house and easily accommodated 8 of us

This is a very clean, organized, and nicely decorated house with a great layout to accommodate multiple people and/or couples. Communication with the host was excellent from start to finish and you'll find everything you need in a nicely organized binder once you arrive at the house. As for location, downtown was just a 2 mile uber ride away or there are a few eclectic (Austin vibe) neighborhood bars and restaurants within walking distance. We also enjoyed the direct accessibility to the trail around the lake.

Austin getaway for 12

Our family of 12 visited Austin and stayed here. The kids had a great time with the distributed bedrooms. A cozy pool and spacious living area. The musical instruments were an add on given our kids were well versed with all types. Location was very convenient to capital, univ etc.Some possible improvements we felt are keeping the pool clean more frequently and providing better curtains to the upstrairs bathroom adjacent to the neighbors window.Overall the stay was great. The pictures in the frontyard came out great !

Exactly as is advertised!

Absolutely wonderful and responsive host with great amenities. The pool was actually heated (I’ve been to plenty of pools that say they’re heated, but still aren’t warm enough to enjoy during cold weather, but this one was). The house is a little old, so my only advice would be to have a plunger in at least one of the bathrooms 😅 everything was great overall!

Great stay in a beautiful home!

Sarah’s place was amazing! It fit our group perfectly and location was close to lots of good spots and easy to get around. Check in and check out process was easy and she let us keep bags inside after checkout. The addition of the plunge pool was such a treat for us to cool off in the Austin heat. The owner did stay on property in the backyard garage apartment which wasn’t expected, we saw her twice but wasn’t an issue.

There was several great things included in the home that weren’t listed in the description but I won’t spoil the surprise for the next visitors. All I will say is you won’t be disappointed just book!

Beautiful house and fabulous location!

My group of 12 was extremely happy and comfortable in this beautiful house! The location was ideal and there were great restaurants within walking distance, as well as easy parking around the house. Sarah was the best host we could have asked for in Austin! She offered to help us book paddle boarding, allowed us to check in early and check out late, and left us a welcome basket with wine and snacks! She truly thought of everything to make this a great stay for us and was always available via text if I had any questions. I had a great experience all around and highly recommend this house!
