I would recommend staying in this house in a heartbeat to anyone going at a time when Austin is not experiencing extreme cold - and would select it again if there when not in extreme weather. However, it was 17 degrees the night we arrived and in low 20s at night & 30s during the day for most of our stay. Jake had turned the heat on for us before we arrived. Though beautifully upgraded to a very comfortable & attractive home, that kind of extreme cold was more than the heating system could manage and it was only 58* inside when we arrived. There were 4 space heaters which helped a lot but we had to run them most of the time. With the heaters in the room with the thermostat, the thermostat eventually got up to 70 in the living area and 72 the last day or so. We wore jackets in the house until the cold wave eased towards end of our visit. I would love to be there again in weather where we could enjoy the beautiful lighted deck! Great house, just not in extreme cold. Host very responsive
