Shelley and Carl offer a lovely cottage experience. The cottage is in Hyde Park which has a number of amenities, restaurants and stores within walking distance. The cottage is clean, cozy and very comfortable. I really enjoyed the garden for reading and bird and squirrel watching. The kitchen area is perfect for making quick breakfast and light meals. Hyde Park is an easy Uber ride to downtown for restaurants, music venues and other activities. Yet, it's a world away for quiet and relaxing experience. The Garden Cottage provides the best of all experiences for your stay in Austin. Shelley and Carl are some of most helpful and gracious hosts ever. Thank you !
