This place is charming and a wonderful value for a weekday stay in Austin! It is cozy and somewhat eclectic. It is not fancy, but I liked that. We had great fun viewing the animals. The pig is hilarious! The goats like the attention. My wife and I like cats so we really liked the pretty grey one. Even with all the animals, we were never disturbed by them making too much noise or bothering us in any way. So if you are not interested in the animals, I wouldn't let them deter you from staying here. Parking at the church was not a problem. The congregants were friendly and they never complained about us parking there. The area seemed safe. Others have mentioned the place only has one A/C window unit in it. It cooled fine while we were there and the daytime temperatures were in the low 90's. I have no idea whether it would handle Austin's 100 degree summer days. The place is well-shaded, though, which is definitely a plus. We never planned to cook any meals so we were not concerned with not having a kitchen. I would definitely stay here again. It is much better than a hotel. We had a wonderful visit! I believe the week end rate is much higher. If I were staying over a weekend, I would probably search a little more for places with additional amenities before booking at the higher price point.
