Our stay at sam's was exactly what we needed for out trip to Austin.
If you need laid back comfort this is the place.
A well stocked Kureg on the counter and a few beers in the fridge
Sam has Everything you would ever need in his eclectic backyard
Wake up with the chickens or sleep in to the sound of A fountain outside the bedroom window.
Pet a chicken or a lazy cat if you want - treats are on the shelf by the sink
The hosts leave it up to you to socialize -
Sam and Kyle are longtime Austin residents friendly,accomidating and proud of their city.
Ready to take time out of their day to answer questions or share some local lore. (ask about Austin's feral chickens)
I don't know if it's a Texas thing or if they are just that welcoming - We felt like long lost relatives.
Bicycles were the perfect way for us to get around Austin.
(Bikes are the only way to see the Stevie Ray Vaughn statue and the boardwalk)
Even when my bike broke down help was just a phone call away.
The bike was fixed in time for coffee the next morning!
We ran into Kyle on the bike trail downtown and he gave us a personal bicycle tour of the best beer gardens on the east side.
Then came home to play 70's name that tune around the firepit
It helped that we had perfect late March weather (highs in the 70s)
Don't know if we can stay in a boring old hotel ever again.
Many Thanks to Kyle, Sam, Eleana and Julia!
