Quiet Zilker hideaway

I stayed here for a month with my family, great location close to Zilker park and S. Lamar. We loved the convenience of the washer and dryer even though the house was well stocked with towels. Kitchen is small as represented in the pictures, but functional.

Quiet and clean

Zilker was a great place to stay, check in was super easy and plenty of parking. The house was very relaxing and quiet and almost didn’t feel like it was in the middle of a city. It was very clean and myself and 4 other adults were more than comfortable.

Nice house tucked away in quiet cul de sac. A few minute walk to Zilker Park and a few minute drive to downtown. House was clean and very comfortable for our family. Great view out the back window of the trees and the creek that borders the back of the property. The host were very attentive. We would definitely stay here again!

I am so glad we found this home. It's in an ideal location and perfectly situated on a quiet cul-de-sac. Very clean and well-appointed with a unique floorplan and lovely backyard view. Thanks Sally for the complimentary wine and recommending Bluebonnet Market...we were late arriving and they had everything we needed!

Great location

We enjoyed our stay. The views of the dry creek were great. The beds and pillows, etc. were quite comfortable. The kitchen is serviceable but really small and shabby. The cabinets and drawers didn’t fit and it just seemed like someone knocked them together in the driveway. We did enjoy it otherwise

Great home and location!

This home is very comfortable. It was well stocked with what we needed. We enjoyed the Edison lights on the patio and balcony for sitting outside at night. The back yard overlooks a nice area with a creek. The neighborhood is quiet and great for taking a walk. It’s also very easy to get to downtown and enjoy great restaurants. The host responded quickly when I sent messages and even messaged me to make sure we arrived. I will definitely stay here again when I’m in Austin!!

Perfect for 4 sisters

My sisters and I try to get together at least twice a year. My sisters all live in Texas and I don't so we meet in Texas each year. We like to play games when we aren't out shopping, eating or going to movies. This house had 4 beds, perfect for us. A dining room table good for games and plenty of towels, even a lot of extra ones and all you would need in a kitchen. It's older but nicely decorated and has a great outdoor sitting area. The owner/manager was really quick at replying to any messages we sent and we had a great stay.

Great location near City

Location is perfect and very close to the city and walking trails near the river. Overall, townhome is very cozy and beautifully decorated. Everyone had a bed they found comfortable and slept well in. Generally we have found beds to be too stiff at rentals, but these were on the medium to softer side. Bedding was clean. Upstairs bathroom small with limited space for placement of bathroom essentials. Much more storage space in downstairs bathroom. Kitchen and showers had some visible mold issues. Many utensils and cookware were worn down and we did not feel comfortable using them.

Thank you for your review Britni We have replaced the silverware. We sent over our handyman and housecleaning team to address any mold. They did not find any. We also went over to run through any potential issues and did not find any. We have re-grouted the bathroom.
