Now I understand why all of Marcella's reviews are so glowing, and why folks keep using the word "magical" to describe this place. Being here is truly inspiring. The love, kindness, and true sense of hospitality is palpable everywhere you look—in all the beautiful design/decor details, the thoughtful touches, and of course through her kids and pets. (Many, many pets! All friendly and affectionate. Animal lovers, you will not be disappointed.)
Be sure to stop in to her backyard store, where you can buy handmade souvenirs that are far better than anything you could pick up at a touristy gift shop.
I can't imagine returning to Austin without staying here again. Thank you Marcella!
