Wow - Stacy is such a wonderful host, and the Clara Cottage was such a great place to stay! For context, we were staying at the Clara Cottage when the great Texas winter storm happened and everyone in Austin lost power/heat/electricity. While it was unlucky for us, we were so lucky to have Stacy as a host — she continuously checked in and kept us updated on what was happening, was very flexible with us, and made sure even when we left for a few days that everything was kept safe with no problems. When there were issues (i.e. everyone in Austin had outdoor water heaters that exploded), she pulled strings and hustled and got the water heater repaired in almost no time at all - it was incredible (repairing our water heater before even hers!). So big big kudos to Stacy - an amazing, industrious, communicative, and caring host.
The cottage itself we really enjoyed as well. It’s well put together with so many thoughtful touches - and found it was great for the two of us both working from home (one of the bedrooms had a desk, and there was a nice place to work in the kitchen/living room - and both areas got lots of light). We enjoyed the outdoor space, but the location was the real highlight. Walking distance to so many great places, from Joe’s to La Barbecue to Juan in a Million to Lady Bird Lake — it was great.
I highly recommend this cottage and a stay with Stacy — we had a great experience.
