Hidden Treasure

A secluded light filled gem just blocks from South Congress. We felt comfortable from the moment we walked in. The booking and verification process took minutes, and there were no reasons to call our hosts as the instructions were clear and we had everything we needed.

Home Away From Home

My stay was fantastic! I was greated with music and a complimentary snack. The beds were very comfortable. The shower was hot and wonderful. There's a screened in porch area, which would be great in warmer weather! Laundry on site and parking! Travis Heights is one of the best neighborhoods in Austin, hands down. I come in for work trips a lot and I think I found my home away from home!

Great location! CLEAN! People next to us had two cars and the bronco had a problem staying on their side so it was a tight fit to leave the driveway. Please know they control the thermostat. It will only stay at your selected temp for maybe two hours and then it automatically adjusts to what they have pre programmed. Also not ok with the thermostat being locked down till 1030 every night to where I would have to get back out of bed to put it on the temperature we are comfortable at.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 November 2025
Hi Stephanie! Thank you so much for your feedback! We really appreciate you sharing this with us. Regarding the thermostat, we want to clarify that we didn’t set any schedules on it — it was actually left behind by a long-term previous guest. If only we had known during your stay, we would have been more than happy to fix the settings right away so you could be fully comfortable. We’re truly sorry for the inconvenience, and we’ve now cleared the old schedules to avoid this happening again. Thank you for helping us improve! If you’re ever back in the area, we’d love to host you again. xoxo, Lodgewell Team

Overnight State Capitol/SBOE trip

We arrived before check in time and although we weren't able to get into the house yet, we were able to leave our car parked in driveway so we could catch an Uber to the Capitol for a meeting. After a long day, we arrived to the lights dimmed, soothing music playing, and everything was super clean. The furniture was comfy and we actually tried two of the suggested restaurants (The Magnolia Cafe for Breakfast and Top Notch Burger for Lunch) - they were great! Would definitely stay here again!
