My husband and I had a terrific time in Austin, and loved staying in this stylish, very comfortable and private hideaway cottage. The biggest 'plus' for us was the spacious deck with sun and shade in the beautiful, rosy, bird-filled garden. The cottage is beautifully furnished with very comfortable furniture, high-end kitchen appliances and cooking equipment. We loved climbing the ladder to bed in the loft. It was like camping, but with an excellent mattress and a good reading light.
The Hyde Park neighbourhood is a delight - very safe, extremely quiet at night, a great place to walk and explore. It's an easy 10-15 minutes drive to downtown, but there are many super restaurant and store options closer.
Our hosts Bobbi and Rick were great - perfect communication throughout, very welcoming, very quick to help with recommendations and eager to ensure their rental was all we could hope for. And although they didn't live on site, we loved the chance to get our 'dog fix' by meeting their two beautiful and well-behaved dogs.
We had originally booked for 4 days because I had to work in Austin, but extended our stay for an additional 4 days because we enjoyed this place so much.
Thank you!
