Chris is a true Austin historian with a heart the size of Texas. He is such a wonderful and thoughtful host who made us feel very welcome during our celebratory birthday trip, provided great suggestions on food and music, and brought us into the pup/goat family fold instantly. His cottage is in a great location between two fun areas to explore with lots of delicious food options within a block or two walk. And you’ll definitely want to walk as the neighborhood architecture is really interesting. Super easy and short uber/Lyft ride to downtown or other areas of Austin on the south side of the river, but we gave the scooters a shot for the first time and they were great. Cottage has all one needs and then some with the touch of Chris’ great Texas style. We look forward to visiting again!
