AWESOME PROPERTY
A group of 18 of us stayed at Camp Congress for 5 days. We are classmates from graduate school and are all in our 50s. We live to get together once a year in fun areas of the world. We found this property and figured it would be ideal for our group as we are pretty much self-entertaining. The group LOVED it. The multiple hang out areas, the location, the cleanliness, and the exception communication from the hosts were stand outs. The airstreams range in comfort level and a few of the showers were a bit "wonky" but that is part of the whole experience. We took advantage of watching a college basketball game in the "cave", played ping pong, bags/cornhole, utilized the fire pit, and played epic games inside the house. We drank our morning coffee outside on the upstairs deck and discussed the antics of the previous night. The owner and property manager is absolutely delightful and brought us extra firewood, as well as offered an early check in and a late check out. We all talked about how we would love to return. I would highly highly recommend this property for a big group that likes to have fun. Just be aware that the airstream experience is not for everyone but it certainly was for this group.

Wedding Party HQ
We used this property as our wedding party's headquarters and it was perfect for our Austin wedding. The property managers were beyond accommodating and helpful! We were able to use the space for all our needs, and even as our wedding after party space. This location is amazing and a wow show-stopper of a place to host out of towners and friends visiting. We had a blast using the outside space and even hosted silent disco in the bar 'cave' area. This made our wedding weekend and are so happy with the property and it's managers. Highly recommend for a great Austin spot for friends!

SoCo Comfort
We had a group of 14 friends staying for the Formula 1 race, bat bridge and general Austin shenanigans and it was awesome! Will, the owner along with his crew were very responsive and helpful! Everyone was impressed with the unique property in such a great and convenient location! We took advantage of the kegerator and most of the airstreams along with the house! Would definitely recommend for a group looking for a great spot close to shopping, food and the bar bridge! Such a cool experience! Great stay!

Coolest VRBO ever!
Stayed here with our wedding party for our wedding. Utilized the space for a welcome party the night before the wedding and it was perfect. All the out of town guests loved the Austin feel and the big trees with lights over the property. Host was responsive. House had everything you would need. Cannot beat the location. This is a gem. You must stay here!
