Sonyong made us feel very welcome by reaching out the day before with instructions on how to enter the house. She provided breakfast foods from Whole Foods and even made a special trip to her favorite bakery for our bread. If that wasn't enough, Sunyong filled a vase with flowers from her yard for the house.

The house is beautiful, filled with quality furnishings, textiles and kitchen supplies and is ideally located in East Austin, close to the airport, organic farms, greenways and shopping.

The grounds are private, lush and green and have lots of chickens running around. Sunyong and her husband are artists with their own studios. Sunyong invited me to spend time in the studio with her and it was wonderful.

We loved every minute of our stay at the Sculptor's Guest House and recommend it as the place to stay in Austin. We will certainly return.
