Location
The Beehive was the perfect spot for our weekend in Austin. Location was great - no more than 10-15 minutes to anything we wanted to see (Barton Springs, Botanical Gardens, Dirty 6th etc.). The East Side of Austin, where the property is located, is a really cool area. After doing all the obligatory Austin things, we ended up spending most of the time close by the hive - East 6th had some pretty cool bars (hello, Whitehorse and Hotel Vegas!). Great local businesses close by for coffee and noms.
The Hive
The house was just as pictured and really cozy. The ACs bumped cold air, making each return in from the sweltering 100 degree weather we had like a march into heaven. The guys in the main house were friendly, but not intrusive. The record player was a sweet touch and no tv wasn't a problem - there's too much to do in Austin to be watching tv! The house had everything we needed - even beach towels and floats for the river! Thanks guys! Kerthy and Blossom were super responsive and left an awesome things to do/eat guide that was pretty spot on. We really didn't need much more guidance from them as the house instructions were self explanatory and everything went smoothly. Their intros and descriptions really touched on everything you would need. We will definitely be making the hive our home base next time we're in Austin!
Thanks Kerthy and Blossom!!
