My boyfriend, dog, and I stayed here for one month when we moved to town, and it was great having this temporary home to help us feel grounded as we made this transition in our lives. The space was just perfect for us, and we were very appreciative of the kitchen fully stocked with cooking supplies, and bathroom complete with towels, shampoo, and conditioner. The bedroom and living space was comfortable and cozy, and everything was clean and well kept. We loved the small private yard space where we could let our dog out for some fresh air and we enjoyed sitting at the little patio table.

Scott and Rae made us feel very welcome in their wonderful little guest house. We arrived late in the evening while Scott and Rae were out, but they left a key out for us and had emailed instructions on how to let ourselves in. They had thoughtfully turned on the AC for us before we arrived and later that evening Scott came over to say hi and brought us some cream for our coffee in the morning. Scott and Rae were delightful hosts and quick to respond to my email questions and to suggest fun things to do around Austin. They invited us to a happy hour/pool party in their backyard with their friends and family, which was great fun! Our pups became fast friends as well, and would wait for each other at the gate separating our yard space from the main house - too cute! The only thing we had a little trouble with was staying connected to the WiFi, but it may have been my computer, and we solved this by just staying plugged in with the ethernet cord.

The neighborhood was a perfect location for us. It is quiet and safe, but only a block away from 1st street, which leads you right the 71/290 hwy about a half mile north, and is only a 10-15 min drive to downtown. It is a great neighborhood if you have a dog (or kids) since there is a school right down the street where you can go to play fetch, walk the track, etc. We really loved this little spot and I will be recommending it to any family or friends who come to town.
