This little guesthouse is the perfect cool and airy oasis to retreat to in between adventures in Austin. The bamboo stalks outside the glass windows in the downstairs living room are soothing to look at from the L-shaped couch. Even though we had a busy travel itinerary, we made time to lounge in the house as a key part of our Austin experience. We did not meet our host Michelle but she was a great communicator via email, text and phone from beginning to end. We were hoping for privacy and we got that plus warm hospitality and we knew that if we ever needed anything that Michelle would be available. The welcome packet with instructions and a mini neighborhood guide were so helpful and came with great suggestions—the 24-hour coffeehouse (Bennu) and mini grocery (Wet Whistle) were just minutes away. Michelle also sweetly stocked the kitchen with organic half and half, coffee, and apple scones. Loved everything about the house-the high ceilings, the decor and color palette, the waterfall shower head, the signed album cover art from Michelle's time when she worked in the music industry. We were so inspired by this beautiful house and hope to build something like it in the future.
