This is the perfect, peaceful Austin hideaway for a single or couple (plus another if you want with a tight squeeze). Tucked away in the lovely backyard garden of an inner north Austin house, Crow Cottage allows you to chill near the hustle and bustle but out of the way too; and it puts you within easy distance of the best the city has to offer. You always need a car in Austin of course, and from Crow Cottage the UT campus is five minutes away, east Austin ten, downtown ten as well and South Congress just a few minutes more. Being the part of town it is, there are plenty of eateries and other stores a short walk away too (for roots music enthusiasts Antones record store is around the corner). Host Lindsey is welcoming and helpful; and she makes sure that the well appointed kitchen is ready for any breakfast, lunch or dinner preparations you want to make, and the laundry and bathroom are wonderfully set up for all your needs. The AC (essential) is quiet and effective. My wife and I are Austin regulars from Australia (we visit our daughter who lives here), so we know the town well - that means we know that Lindsey's list of recommendations for food, entertainment and relaxation are spot on. A first or second timer could follow her suggestions for a week and have a great time. Lindsey does all she can to make your stay great, but once you are settled she leaves you to yourself. If you are a dog lover (like me), there are three friendly pups to talk to and pet. If dogs are not you thing they will leave you undisturbed and safe behind the garden fence. You can't go wrong at Crow cottage.
