I stayed here with my husband and our 5 year old daughter, and the house was just tucked away enough to be quiet but still so close to things like Barton Springs Pool. We had a relaxing time and enjoyed how spacious the property was.

The location is great, house is super cute and host is wonderful. When they say dog friendly they actually mean it! The yard was perfect and they left some little conveniences that made us feel right at home. They’ve thought through all the details so your stay will be easy and comfortable! We will definitely be back!

Perfect Austin Home

This home is in the perfect location and very accommodating to families! We messaged the host and asked if we could check-in a few hours earlier since we had a small baby and they were very friendly, timely, and accommodating to our request. We loved this house for our visit to Austin! It’s extremely cute, comfortable, and has a homey feel without sacrificing location!

Fantastic!

The location was absolutely perfect! We were near enough to the fun areas to be able to walk and enjoy all that Austin has to offer, but we were also able to go back to a quiet, relaxing and comfortable location to rest and wind down. The cottage is well stocked with all of the necessities! Charmingly decorated and comfortable! We were also pleasantly surprised to find an Nespresso coffee maker with multiple coffee, selections, available, as well as a traditional coffee maker, and Starbucks ready and waiting for us. The host was very responsive and offered some great selections for dining when asked for recommendations! Although we did not bring our dogs with us for this trip, the home has a large fenced yard perfect for dogs to run and play along with a charming porch and sitting area for you to be able to enjoy the weather! We will absolutely be back and bring our pups! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would love to come back! Fantastic!

Austin

We were in Austin for the f1 race, the house was 20-30 minutes from the track. There a few good restaurants within walking distance and it’s a nice neighborhood for walking. Otherwise, a short drive to get groceries, visit downtown or dine further away. The house was well equipped and the owners were very responsive. When we inquired about a drip coffee maker, they ordered one and had it delivered the next day. The upper bedroom was spacious and open. There is no door on the ensuite bathroom which I would have preferred for privacy but we made it work for us. Beds were comfortable and we slept well. Nice to have laundry access so we could wash everything before we went to our next destination. Thought it was a lovely spot and would definitely recommend it.

My first concern for choosing a VRBO is feeling safe. This place felt very safe in a great, walkable neighborhood, yet close to downtown and the airport, which was what we needed. The house is quite nice - not brand new, but lovely, comfortable, and relaxed. It felt like a home. There were thoughtful touches - drinks in the fridge, plenty of Nespresso pods, games, and plenty of towels and bedding. We had two dogs, and we really appreciated a place where they were welcome. We also appreciated the easy check-in and check-out (all we were asked to do was put our dishes in the dishwasher). We will definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Rick Orr

Host profile image
We are an easy going family of four that loves Austin and our beautiful dog, April. We have hosted our home on travel platforms the last 8 years and feel so lucky to have met people from all over the world. We would love to have you stay with us!

Why they chose this property

Our home is located in a quiet neighborhood with a five minute ride to downtown, Zilker park, Barton Springs, ACL, SXSW, and the lake. We are also a short walk to South Congress which offers amazing restaurants and shopping. Matties known for its free range peacocks and Thai Fresh are a few of our favorite local spots just a few blocks from our door.

What makes this property unique

We love animals and welcome pets! We have children's books and games as well as a travel crib, if needed. Our laundry room has workout equipment and a state of the art Tonal exercise machine.
