Home away from home

This VRBO felt like staying at a friend's house while they were away. It was comfortable and felt like a home (books, porch swing, plants, etc.) The location was convenient and the beds were comfortable.

Perfect cottage in the heart of Austin

Joan was on the spot, all details conveyed before check in. Beds were comfy, house was perfect for 4 guests. We ate out and even cooked dinner one evening. Kitchen was stocked and had everything needed for cooking a family meal. Cottage was ideal and the location was perfect for our UT football game weekend. Will definitely rebook in the future!

Such a cute place!

This is our second time to stay here. We love everything about it. Location is ideal for our student who lives in West Campus, she can drive or walk to us easily. Beds are comfy and the home is so cozy, and we love bringing our fur baby. We can't wait to return!

Charming bungalow that feels like home

Booked the first home game weekend and we were happily surprised at how much like a neighborhood this area feels like compared to how busy the rest of W campus was before a game. If you like the style and comfort of a mature home, you will be happy here. As with the rest of W campus, streets and parking are tight, but also walkable to food and shops, too. Hope to make this our home away from home while visiting Austin in the future.

Exceptional property, amenities, and management!

We loved this home! The property has everything in amenities (everything we needed) to cook in the kitchen, the bedrooms had sufficient extra blankets and lots of pillows, and the bath was stocked with lots of towels and even supplies that we didn’t expect to be available were available, books and games; everything here was perfect for my family inside the home and outside in the yard, patio, and porch! We loved this place!!! Communication with management was excellent. We received instant and helpful responses to our every inquiry. The location is excellent, minutes to everything downtown and recreation. We had no problems with anything whatsoever. I would highly recommend this property and will visit someday again.

Lovely cottage

This was a great location and a lovely home. Great owner communication. It was close enough to all the fun stuff but in a quiet, safe neighborhood. The front porch was great and I appreciated the fan (not used to Texas humidity!). It had everything we needed and we enjoyed our stay very much!

About the host

Hosted by Joan E Winter

Host profile image
I am a teacher who loves to travel. Because I have enjoyed coming back to a home (rather than a hotel) when exploring in a new place, I am pleased to offer mine! I grew up in Houston but moved to Austin for graduate school and stayed - who wouldn't? Easy access to nature, beautiful art, live music, great restaurants and, of course, the incomparable Barton Springs. I love this town!

Why they chose this property

I chose this property because of its superb central location to both UT, parks and downtown and because it has character and coziness - two features I most appreciate in a place and in a person.
