Gorgeous house and is close to all the action. The only downside is the rooms on the bottom floor don’t have a bathroom; you have to go to first floor. The house is newly remodeled, beds are comfortable and it’s overall a great place!

Comfortable stay!

This Vrbo was perfect for a group of 12. Very beautiful setup and the living room/kitchen area was even more spacious in person. Host was quick to respond to any questions. The patio area is perfect to sit and soak up the sunshine. Bathrooms were all clean and well-stocked with towels and other provided amenities. House is also only a 15-min or less drive to other popular places in the city, and in walking distance to some coffee and food spots. The group enjoyed their stay.

ACL Weekend

We were a group of 9 High School Seniors and 4 moms staying at the house for the second ACL Weekend. The house was great and when we asked about more blankets, towels and a colander, the property manager had them delivered to us. We used the kitchen a little bit with easy food preparation and breakfast.

Best Weekend Ever!!!

Truly can't explain how wonderful this weekend away in Austin was, and this rental was one of the best parts! The home was absolutely gorgeous and in such a safe part of town. The beds were comfy which is always a plus and there was plenty of room and space for the 10 of us who stayed there. Not to mention the brand-new pool they had put in this year was clutch because it was over 100 degrees every day. When we did run into any issues or problems with the property, the property manager was very responsive which was greatly appreciated. There were a few minor issues but nothing that was enough to take away from the experience!! Overall 20/10 stay and would love to come back and stay again. Book this place, you won't regret it!

Beautiful house and a great location, needs a few things fixed

The house is a historic house in a great location near downtown Austin. Really enjoyed our stay here. The house was very clean however, there are a few small things that need to be fixed. The microwave makes it really loud noise that sounds like it needs to be fixed. One of the guest said that the dishwasher leaked water. There’s an area on the main floor where the wood is breaking through. The house is extremely noisy, Poor sound insulation. The bedroom where I slept could use a dresser or somewhere to put my clothes and personal items. saying that, overall, I would stay here again. Hopefully they will upgrade the house by taking care of some of therse small issues.

40th Birthday

The house is actually bigger that what the pictures show, and I feel like that never happens with an online listing. The style and decor throughout the house feels like a super swanky, boutique hotel. We comfortably slept 16 friends and family members. The main floor living room/kitchen was the perfect hang space at the end of a night out. The only drawback is there's only 1 bathroom on the main floor that is supposed to service the 8 people that sleep in the basement. All the upstairs rooms have their own bathrooms. We ended up sharing showers which was fine, but an additional bathroom in the basement would've been the best fix. The pool area is fantastic, but the water was pretty icy. I'm sure the trees in the back are clutch during the hot summer to block out some of the sun, but in April, the mix of little sun and icy pool kept us from fully enjoying. The location worked out well for us. You can walk to a few bars, restaurants and liquor stores. We ended up catching Ubers everywhere else. This house (like many VRBO/AirB&B) charges the typical high priced cleaning fee, but then also demands you to wash towels, do dishes, take out the trash, etc. Overall, I'd 100% book this place again. It was perfect home base to celebrate and take in Austin.
