The house was just as listed and in a great area. Check in was super easy and any questions were answered very quickly. This house was close to the University and right next to a great park. We would definitely stay there again.

ACL Weekend
We were a group of 9 High School Seniors and 4 moms staying at the house for the second ACL Weekend. The house was great and when we asked about more blankets, towels and a colander, the property manager had them delivered to us. We used the kitchen a little bit with easy food preparation and breakfast.

We rented this house so we could gather with family to celebrate my MIL's 80th birthday. It was absolutely perfect for all of us. We especially loved the open kitchen/family room and the pool and patio. Would highly recommend this property for any large group.

Beautiful house and a great location, needs a few things fixed
The house is a historic house in a great location near downtown Austin. Really enjoyed our stay here. The house was very clean however, there are a few small things that need to be fixed. The microwave makes it really loud noise that sounds like it needs to be fixed. One of the guest said that the dishwasher leaked water. There’s an area on the main floor where the wood is breaking through. The house is extremely noisy, Poor sound insulation. The bedroom where I slept could use a dresser or somewhere to put my clothes and personal items. saying that, overall, I would stay here again. Hopefully they will upgrade the house by taking care of some of therse small issues.

Overall, really enjoyed this property. Perfect for large families or groups. Only negative was traffic noise as it backs up to a fairly busy thoroughfare. Good proximity to both UT and S. Congress shopping - easy to get around w/ Uber/Lift. Interiors are very nicely appointed.

Great house
Gorgeous house and is close to all the action. The only downside is the rooms on the bottom floor don’t have a bathroom; you have to go to first floor. The house is newly remodeled, beds are comfortable and it’s overall a great place!

Best Weekend Ever!!!
Truly can't explain how wonderful this weekend away in Austin was, and this rental was one of the best parts! The home was absolutely gorgeous and in such a safe part of town. The beds were comfy which is always a plus and there was plenty of room and space for the 10 of us who stayed there. Not to mention the brand-new pool they had put in this year was clutch because it was over 100 degrees every day. When we did run into any issues or problems with the property, the property manager was very responsive which was greatly appreciated. There were a few minor issues but nothing that was enough to take away from the experience!! Overall 20/10 stay and would love to come back and stay again. Book this place, you won't regret it!

Loved it!
My friends and I stayed here and enjoyed it very much! It was close to downtown so Ubers weren’t too expensive. The only issue we had was the A/C was going out throughout the weekend but they were very responsive in having people come by to fix it. The pool was an amazing addition especially for the summer heat in Austin. Would recommend staying here!

A few colleagues and I needing a weekend together to just hang out and visit. This was the perfect place close to a great spa, good restaurants, a park, and an open living room and kitchen. Very comfortable with what you need. We ate at the large table, played cards on the coffee table and watched a movie together. Great night’s sleep. We will be back.

Longhorn/TCU weekend
The space was perfect for our group. We all agreed that it met our needs with the exception of three things. For what we paid street parking was not acceptable, we should have been able to use the driveway. There is a deck out back that should have had table and chairs, it was not anything that we could use. We would have preferred the location to have walkable access for morning coffee. We were glad that we brought our own blue tooth speaker, the house should have one of those. Everything else was perfects and was well represented.
