South Lamar Zilker Cottage is an excellent place to stay for someone looking for a great launching pad to everything that West Austin has to offer. It is walking distance to some amazing spots. My perfect day was waking up in the morning and walking a block to Maha Coffee for my morning coffee, leisurely making my way to nearby Barton Springs for stand up paddle boarding in the afternoon, dashing to the Cottage to freshen up before walking to Bouldin Acres for some nice bites and a round of pickleball. I had the pleasure of meeting Evelise who was extremely pleasant and full of local tips. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at South Lamar Zilker Cottage and would happily stay there again.
