The Margrave house was the perfect site to host the first time meeting of our parents over the Thanksgiving weekend. We found the space to be more than sufficient to facilitate hanging out as well as cooking a big meal for Thanksgiving dinner. The house is spacious yet there are plenty of spaces for guests to be together. We especially enjoyed the island in the kitchen which has ample counter space for chopping food, setting out snacks, etc, but is also a nice spot to sit and have coffee or drinks. The living room and back patio are also very nice, the patio having a huge table for meals or hanging out.

Other features to note are several bookcases full of interesting books, a nice backyard for kids to play, and very nice light in the house.

I would recommend this house to anyone coming from out of town or anyone living in town who needs to rent a bigger house to accommodate guests from out of town. It truly was a retreat from our tiny 1 bedroom Austin apartment!
