The host is a gem! The house is a work in progress. Our party of 12 (kids and adults) had a nice time. Gavin is laid back, communicates well. There were some unforeseen issues that he navigated very well. I would highly recommend asking him about his boat rental! The kids loved it!!!
The pros: Serene location, only 30mins from downtown Austin, updated kitchen, semi-updated bathrooms, 2 huge projectors (no squabbling over kids vs. adults movies), hot water that does not run out! Loads of towels and bed linen.
Cons: The house is undergoing renovations and it still has a musty smell that is characteristic of old homes. This might be a problem for people with respiratory issues.
Overall a fun stay. Thanks Gavin!
