The cottage was a great place to stay during our weekend in Austin. We visit Austin very often and love to stay in unique and interesting places, and this one did not disappoint. The cottage is cute and comfortable, with plenty of room to place your things and night tables for your books and your phone. There are tons of guides as well as a book about Marcella's family and the area, we loved reading it and really felt like we belonged even though we did not meet Marcella and her family. We did however, meet the ducks, chickens, cat, and pig, who were very cute and welcoming (the pig may have been the highlight of our trip).

Initially we were worried about it being hot because there is only a window AC, but it was very cool inside at all times. The bathroom is gorgeous (the photos do not do it justice at all) with so much room to put your things. We loved that there were two small tables for us to sit at and have coffee or the tacos we were continuously picking up at Paco's down the street.

The only drawback is that it's a little out of the way if you're going to be all over Austin, but it would definitely not deter me from staying at the cottage again.
