The cottage is beautifully decorated, the host was responsive, and we thorughly enjoyed our stay. The location is excellent in terms of UT, downtown, Lamar Blvd, Congress Ave, I35 to the east and Hwy 1, North and South, to the west. Finding it is not difficult if you slow down and look for the driveway in between 1205 and 1207.

It was lovely - very clean, well appointed. They have some very interesting art. Feels very private and secluded even though it’s in such a densely populated area. It's very close to downtown, with easy access to great restaurants, coffee shops, Whole Foods, the Capitol, and UT. The cottage is tricky to find -- fortunately, we used Google Maps street view to detect the teeny alley, which is the driveway off the main road. I ended up dealing with an external rental agency with very strict rules -- for example, one of our travelers experienced a sudden death in the family, and we were unable to reschedule our stay without losing the full rental price.

We didn’t cook as we were always eating out. It might have been nice to have some coffee in the cupboard as the nearest store was a long walk away. Neighbours were friendly and the house was quiet.

Lovely well-appointed cottage in a good location. Host graciously let us enter earlier in the day and was quite responsive when we had trouble with the A/C. However, be aware that in order to complete your booking, even after your deposit has gone through, you will be required to upload to a website (not VRBO) three forms of personal identification (picture, driver’s license or passport and birthdate). We are careful to protect our identity and would have booked elsewhere had we known in advance that this would be required.

Sweet Retreat

Beautiful, new on the inside, immaculate cottage. So hard to find (wrong numbers on street post) but well worth the effort. Super comfortable, cool. Owners thought of everything. Amazing kitchen, zen garden and super comfortable beds. Can't wait to go back!

Cute and full personality

We absolutely love the little cute cottage. The master bedroom is massive, and the extra room was great as an additional space. It's in a good location, a quiet neighborhood, and is clean. We loved and appreciated the art!!

clean, convenient, comfortable

The place was exactly as advertised and comfortable. (Checkin was rough due to house numbers being different than stated on vrbo, and the remote lock combination had to be reset, but that was the only frustrating 20 minutes of the stay.)

Perfect Getaway

This property was in a really beautiful part of Austin. It’s a cute neighborhood with some walkable places in the area. We loved how quiet and private the property was even with being so close to things to do!

Difficult to locate

Great location, though EXTREMELY difficult to find. I come to Austin often and know that area very well and still was difficult to find even using google maps. Hidden down an unmarked alley. Property was clean and well stocked with essentials.

It was a gem- hidden away, very clean, everything new and well kept. The driveway was a bit tricky to get in and out, but well worth it. Would book it again.

We were able to walk or cycle to everything we wanted to see or do. The property was much quieter than I expected and nicely decorated.

Charming cottage in nice part of town

The cottage is well decorated with updated bathrooms and comfortable beds. Only one parking space, and finding it is a challenge. But once you are there, it has nice outdoor and indoor seating and is well set up. My extended family rented a mansion with swimming pool across Enfield, and it had a lot more street noise. This place is tucked in about 3/4 of a block down an alley. Very clean, and I’m picky.

Perfect!

Exactly as listed! Beautiful, clean and the bed was awesome. A tad tricky to find, for the Uber drivers too, but manageable. Would stay again!!
