Ellen and Andy were the perfect hosts. The cottage was all ready for me when I arrived and I felt like I'd landed at home, rather than a rental. Thank you so much for the little comforts and personal touches that made my stay top notch. As others have mentioned, there were a few food staples provided (perfect for that first night when I didn't have time to grab dinner before arriving) and homey touches like a hair dryer and tooth paste so I didn't feel like I needed to pack every single thing I'd need for the trip. The cottage is close to downtown and made it convenient to get to my conference quickly, but far enough outside the city center that I felt like I was able to escape from the hustle of downtown Austin when I needed some peace and quiet. The cottage and all the decor was adorable, but I think I was most excited about the dutch door leading out to the back garden (a childhood dream has always been to have a dutch door and now I want one even more that I've experienced one for a week). Perfect experience! Perfect location! Perfect hosts! Thank you for everything!
