Best Austin Spot!

Stacy’s place was exactly as pictured - clean, adorable, and had everything you could possibly need. She was extremely communicative and available if we needed anything. I had forgotten to pack lotion and almost walked to target but checked under the bathroom sink just in case, and sure enough, Stacy had EVERYTHING there for her guests. If only every VRBO host was this thoughtful! It was an absolute pleasure staying at Stacy’s place. If we come back to Austin we will be sure to check if her place is available before going anywhere else.

Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023

Why they chose this property

The Clara Cottage is a fun and modern home that's so homey that you won't want to leave. You will have all of the modern amenities to make feel like you are right at home! I offer fun indoor and outdoor games for those nights where you want to stay in with your guests. The wood furniture was custom built from the wood floors of the circa 1935 home that was torn down to build my dream vacation home.

What makes this property unique

You are in the Heart of East Austin. So you don't need to rent a car. Only 5 miles from the Airport. 1.5 Miles to Downtown Austin. And with in walking distance or quick Uber ride to hundreds of restaurants/bars/breweries. You are also only 2 blocks away from Lady Bird Lake which has SUP and Kayak rentals as well as the peaceful well shaded Bike and Hike Trail which is a 10 mile loop. Also you are right across the street from one of the most popular BBQ joints in Austin: La BBQ so you can watch the line to get in to know jump into place so you won't wait too long for some of the BEST Austin BBQ.
