We had such a wonderful visit here. Our host Christine was awesome. She had a few welcoming gifts for us upon arrival. Communication was great. Her house is perfect for a family gathering! We hope to be back soon.
Christine was an excellent host. She was responsive and very generous. We arrived to some wonderful goodies. The home is exactly as described. We were on a girls trip with people from high school and the property was perfect for us. Christineâs friend Heather came to change the batteries in the front door lock. She overheard us saying that we needed ice. She went and got it for us. Incredible. I canât say enough about their hospitality. We will be back.
Our family travels extensively. This is one of our favorite places we have stayed. The home is extremely clean and well taken care of. The host has thought of everything. There is so much to do at the house our family didn't want to leave. The pool is amazing. Check in process was easy and our host was very accommodating. Bed are comfortable. Plenty of room and seating inside and outside for everyone. Our family likes to cook instead of going out. Kitchen is well stocked. You will have everything you need. This home is in a nice neighborhood and close to HEB grocery store. Very nice location. Check out process is a breeze!!!
We loved our stay here! It's a beautiful, well stocked home with up to date amenities. The pool and deck areas are very nice. The neighborhood was quiet.
We had a wonderful weekend at this property and couldâve have asked for anything more. Exceptional accommodations and communication throughout. Will book again!
Our family had a wonderful long weekend at this well-equipped house while we celebrated a college graduation! We were met with a warm welcome on the table as we walked in, and the numerous amenities met our every need. All 3 generations of our family highly recommend!
Our family stayed in this house for the week surrounding our daughter's wedding at the Wildflower Center, and we had a wonderful experience. The property was super clean, comfortable, and spacious, and we commented several times that we'd buy a house like this if searching in Austin. The location was ideal for our event, and we were easily able to acquire our sustenance at the nearby Whole Foods, HEB, and restaurants such as Chuy's, Wholy Bagel, and Cypress Grill. In the house, the kitchen and bathrooms were very well stocked with amenities such as soaps, shampoos, tp, food storage wrap, laundry detergent, etc. and the kitchen supplied a variety of pots, pans, plates, glasses, etc. (It would be great for the owner to add a cookie sheet or other large roasting dish. Also, a full set of matching wine glasses would be a nice touch). We especially loved the outdoor deck space and the chilly but refreshing pool. The living area was open and spacious. We had 2 couples residing overnight in the house, so we each had our own bathrooms and that was great. The master bathroom is especially large and the Japanese bidet toilet is an absolute hoot. (Toilets aren't usually worth mentioning in a review, but this one is!). Note that if all four bedrooms were occupied, there would be a sharing scenario for one bathroom. Lastly, we thought the neighborhood and nearby residential areas were great -- quiet, leafy, and very pleasant for our morning walks. We hope to visit again!
This place is just as pictured. I stayed here with my bachelorette party and it slept 9 comfortably. We loved the home, neighborhood, and back yard! Not too far from downtown. The host was very nice and helpful! Would recommend.
A great home where parents, children and grandkids could all stay together for an extended weekend. It was very convenient to the wedding venue, and close to many restaurants. The house was comfortable, clean and very well stocked with a great outside area to relax and visit.The bedrooms were located in such a way to provide separation for each family unit at night. Only improvement recommended is the replacement of the shower head in the bathroom suite off the kitchen. Great pressure in the tub but low in the head fixture. Also provide a place to hang clothes in this bedroom since the closet is locked. Overall, a great place to stay.
On the southwest side of Austin lies this hidden gem. Amidst a nice little neighborhood, close but not too close to the highway, was this lovely getaway with all kinds of fantastic amenities. Everyone had their own bedroom. A beautiful deck. We loved the Game Barn. Our only regret was that it was too chilly to swim! Thanks, Christine. Batteries recharged. P.S. A stone's throw from Kerby Lane, our new favorite brunch in town.
We rented this property for two weeks while we worked in Texas. The property owner was fabulous and so easy to communicate with! The property itself was exactly what we were looking for. We would definitely recommend this location as well as stay here again!
We loved the house, the location was great, and Christine is an excellent and responsive host. We so appreciated the labels and detailed instructions for how everything works, and the guide to restaurants and activities in Austin. We were sorry that the weather was cold, because the back yard and pool are amazing! The game barn is also a fun extra. We hope to stay there again soon!
Totally awesome home! Awesome amenities and awesome pool area. Great location for access to cycling, running, paddle boarding, shopping and dining! Great host as wellâŠ.one of the best ever!
We enjoyed our stay at the property and were thrilled with the space, cleanliness and updated bathrooms. The pool was a good size and very nice, clean and relaxing. The bonus game den in the back yard was a very cool and fun space that is separate from the main house. If you're looking for a nice, quiet and spacious house to lounge by a pool, grill a dinner and relax, this one does the trick. We would definitely rent again.
It was just as pictured! House was amazing! Perfectly clean, backyard swimming pool was where we stayed the entire weekend. We loved it and we will be back. Located closed to whatever we needed, although we didn't need much. Christine was amazing communicator! Answered questions as soon as they were asked.
There is a reason why this property is 10/10 because it has been the best. Beautiful house, wonderful host. My teenager loved the gamebarn. A must stay for sure
We stayed 3 nights and wanted to stay longer. Everything was as described in listing. Very nice rental, had all the little things you needed and then some. When we return to see family we will rent again. Outstanding experience.
Nice quiet neighborhood near the best that Austin has to offer. The house is comfortable and a great place to rest up for another day exploring Austin. This place has all of the little touches that makes you feel welcome. We were even met with our favorite bottle of whiskey!
We loved our stay at this property and everything about it. The house hosted our 2 families with teens and adults very comfortably. The backyard is big with lots of seating. The pool is great. The game shed was a great bonus for the kids. We were close enough to downtown to go back and forth and still felt like a nice getaway. The host is outstanding. Very responsive and goes above for her guests.
The trip to Austin was amazing as was our hostess. Communication before hand was wonderful, left us a nice local gift of little snacks, super clean, TONS to do - pool, game room, fire pit, board gamesâŠ.i could go on and on but I wonât.
If you are looking for a great place - stay here.

Please let me know how I can make your stay in Austin more enjoyable. I want guests to create lifetime memories with my well-cared for home.
The no-outlet neighborhood is well located to many popular destinations yet quiet at the same time. The large backyard has numerous ways to enjoy the space with games, the pool, outdoor dining, or the firepit. The neighborhood has numerous nearby restaurants and all the usual delivery options as well. Go out, dine in, or get delivery with ease.
