In short, this was great. I liked staying in a cottage instead of a hotel as it felt like I was coming home every night. It's location in East Austin is only a short drive from downtown and we had no problem getting to all the restaurants and things we wanted to check out. Marcella was very warm and inviting and made us feel right at home. The two dogs are a joy and would remind me around 8:30 to get out of bed and go do things! We had the added experience of helping one of the cats deliver her litter. By help I mean I let her inside. I would definitely stay with them again if I were to visit Austin again.
