Perfect family reunion weekend.

Great little house, walkable to basics shops and restaurants but close to just about everything in Austin. Held 15 for dinners easily inside and outside, fun amenities, well appointed. Hallway bedroom gets a lot of noise but the upstairs suite has a kitchenette and great as a separate space for a family with kids.

Great Spot near UT

This location is ideal for small or even larger groups. Plenty of bedrooms and space. The highlight is definitely the backyard. Perfect for entertaining with a pool, table tennis, cornhole, a putting green, and more. The location is great to walk to restaurants and bars near the school and not too far from Congress. Would definitely stay there again.

Long Weekend to visit family

Property is very nicely kept and has everything you need to take advantage of its many amenities. Nice location close to downtown and "old" Austin and UT. The only short coming is there is limited closet space for hangings clothes. We would definitely stay at this location again. Property manager is very responsive.

5 star stay :) Amazing property! A place of serenity for a family getaway. The tennis table was a huge hit! Fun games & pool - the full package. Close to central and downtown for activities. Plenty of space, privacy and well stocked items. Nice neighborhood. It is Austin’s hidden treasure - We would stay again!

Great property!

The overall property was great! The backyard was great and had lots of different things to do (cornhole, a small put put, a pool, table tennis). The area is close to campus so you have access to lots of different great food spots. Also, the house is stocked with so many different things (everything from beach towels, regular towels, and sunscreen to poker chips, a guide to the property, Blu-ray player, etc.).

Really great house!

House was lovely. Everything was very clean. Lots of beds to accommodate all the guests. Super quiet neighborhood despite being just a few blocks from Guadalupe (the main drag for college kids). Very close to university and downtown. Very convenient for Austin City Limits festival. Just wish we had had more time to enjoy the pool, ping pong table, and relaxing back patio.

After long days of work, it was so nice to unwind in this beautiful backyard. Chris was super responsive with all of my questions. All around, great experience!
