Best Location and Great Host

We had such a wonderful stay in Austin. The house was clean, perfectly located and very dog and baby friendly! We will be coming here and only here for our Austin trips in the future - the host is so welcoming and caring and ensures everything is exactly as you need it - thank you!

Exactly as described and it was a great stay.

We had a great time in Austin and the property is very well maintained, probably a step above others in terms of quality of cookware and stocking of the kitchen.It was everything we wanted it to be and we all had a lovely time in Austin.

Excellent location, comfortable home

My stay at hill house was great! The house was clean, bed was comfortable, and the location was not only quiet but convenient to everything in Austin. This corner property is also a great spot for dog watching, as people in the area walk their dogs to the park across the s treet that has a trail.

The house was very clean and well furnished. We did not cook there so cannot comment on this. There is an extended back yard which was great so we could let our dogs out in the morning and evening. The neighborhood has many dog owners so our dogs had many new smells and loved it. We visited the Warren Wildlife Gallery in the neighborhood. Quite impressive outside and inside. The little park across the street was great for quick walks with the dogs. Zilker park is near by for a swim, biking or walker. Because it was Memorial Day weekend, it was quite crowded. The only tricky part is the driveway. It is narrow and bound by a cement wall on each side. We had a small fender binder late at night in the rain! Parking is available on the street. The host was very accommodating and answered all questions quickly.

Great place to stay in Austin

We came here to stay for the weekend for a family wedding at a venue nearby. The hosts are great and very communicative and made our stay here memorable for a variety of reasons. Great location with lots to do nearby, great neighborhood to walk around in (and very safe) and the house was great to stay in — everything you see in the pictures. Highly recommend staying here.

This house worked perfectly for my family of 5. It sits in a quiet neighborhood in a great location that is close to a lot of terrific Austin attractions. It was very nice to have a couple of outdoor areas, including the park / walking trail across the street.

Great location!

Cute little house in great location. Very clean and well stocked. Several outdoor spaces to enjoy the weather. Located across the street from a small park and walking trail. We stayed for ACL Music Festival and the house was easily walkable to Zilker. They kept the old charm of the house without it feeling dated. Owner was nearby and very responsive.

Fourth Time A Charm!

Once again we were able to enjoy the beautiful Hill House and be "home away" again! We came to see my daughter and had a great time visiting restaurants and various venues throughout out stay. The walking trails and lake are perfect as usual. The owners and the Hill House always get a five star rating from me and my family. I can't wait to come back! Thank you Carole and Kerry!!!!

Quiet neighborhood, thoughtful touches

We really enjoyed our weekend at this property. Great restaurants are within a short walking distance, the neighborhood is safe and quiet, and there are thoughtful touches which made our stay perfect. We enjoyed a dip in Barton Springs pool and were so glad the home owners provided beach towels. The backyard was perfect for our dogs to chase their tennis ball and also was nicely shaded by a beautiful oak tree. We will definitely try to return to this home next time we are in Austin for a weekend.

Wonderful Stay!

My husband, daughter and I stayed in the cottage for our 3 night visit in Austin. Carole and Kerry made the reservation effortless and called to make sure everything was fine once we arrived. The coded lock made it so we never had to worry about a key. The house is immaculate and the Prices have furnished it with everything you might need, including paper products, extra toiletries, plastic wrap, and clothes detergent. The outside spaces were our favorite places to stay! Austin in January is warm and delightful. We rented bikes and hardly used our car the entire visit. This cottage is in a wonderful location, has everything you need, and the owners could not be nicer. Stay here if you are coming to visit Austin!

Best Place to Stay in Austin, Texas!

Beautifully done home in a very desirable location in Austin Texas. All amentities you can ask for! The house is finished in a elegant and simple manner with great furnishings and electronic entertainment. I really liked the front porch and side/back patio area with grill. We had a great family cookout! The new washer and dryer was super to have available, as well as the dishwasher. There were many things to see, like Zilker Park, Congress Ave., and the many golf courses in the area. While we walked the trail we noticed rental places for canoes and lots of bicycles too! There are fine places to eat and have a glass of wine. We enjoyed our trip to Austin and would rent from Carole and Kerry again! They are great people!

Awesome place! Awesome location!

Hill House is a great place! The home was just the right size and clean. I loved having the fenced in yard for my little dog. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. The location is perfect. I was able to walk to the food trucks on 1st and it is only a 10 minute walk to Congress, plus I felt very safe. I also walked to Zilker Park, although about 30 minutes it was pleasant and easy. There is great music at El Mercado, 2 blocks away as well as the Continental Club on South Congress. I even rode the bus to downtown. It costs $2.50 for a 24 pass and you can catch the #10 on 1st. The driveway is steep!! But if you go slow it is no problem. Carole and Kerry were awesome, quickly responded to questions and close by if you need help with anything. I hope to be back!! I totally recommend Hill House. Thanks Carole and Kerry!
