This house was very quaint and immaculately maintained, and located in a cute quiet neighborhood in West Campus. We loved all the amenities, including the fenced in backyard and cozy patio, as well as free parking. Within walking distance of many restaurants and campus activities. The beds were extremely comfortable as well. We hope to stay here again sometime!

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!

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.

This cottage is a perfect spot to call home while enjoying Austin. This home is comfortable and tastefully decorated with art and antique Persian rugs. We enjoyed walking our dog in Pease Park, being close to coffee, restaurants, and shopping. Joan made us feel welcome and provides a well stocked kitchen if you want to prepare a meal. If you are looking for a delightful spot just blocks from campus - this is it!

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.
