Chris was a dedicated host making sure we felt comfortable with his cottage, the local area and recommendations for local restaurants. He visited with us for a few minutes while we were getting settled and even checked in on us at a lovely restaurant he recommended. The icing on the cake - the very thoughtful gesture of surprising us with a glass of wine to begin our meal with. Chris was fun to talk with and his pets were loving and welcoming. Love his creativity and eclectic style! And his cottage added to the fun weekend we experienced in Austin!
