Perfect space!

This mini house was the perfect size, space, and location for our extended weekend in Austin. It was quiet, safe, and had all the amenities needed. It felt super cozy and we looked forward to heading back there after being out and about. I’d def recommend and stay again!

Tiny home stocked with everything you need!

Amy’s place was awesome. Tiny but mighty! Super clean and stocked with everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay. She’s a great communicator, offers amazing tips, and responds quickly. It’s a 20 minute walk to soco and a quick Uber to 6th/downtown so easy access to all the fun!

This was in a great neighborhood. The host had all the toiletries and snacks! We were visiting our adult kids and this place provided a gathering place during the day. Thanks so much.

Loved this place!

Great location in a quietly nice neighborhood. Cute tiny house loft had everything I needed. Everything was easily accessible. Not far from downtown, the springs and the main freeway. Host was quick to respond. I will definitely stay here again next time I am in Austin.

Wonderful weekend

Tiny House is a gem! My husband and I came into town for a long weekend and this was the perfect place to stay. Everything was clean and ready for our arrival. I love that it's so close to everything fun to do in Austin. There are bikes to ride too! We will be back for sure!

Highly recommend

My 11 year old son and I were visiting for the F1 race and wanted a small, quiet, and centrally located place to stay. Amy's tiny house fit the bill perfectly. It's in a great neighborhood walkable to all the shops and restaurants on South Congress and close to downtown and campus. Amy was a great communicator and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. We realized we'd have a much better race day experience if we had collapsible chairs and Amy dug a few out of storage for us to borrow. Highly recommend.

Like staying in a friend's guest house. Can't wait to come back!

Amy was terrific. She was a great communicator and when I asked about a bike, she cleaned up her old mountain bike for me to borrow. From the moment I arrived at the property, thoughtful touches made it feel like I was staying at a friend's place: a fresh pint of half and half for coffee, granola bars and microwave popcorn for those snack-attacks, extra Q-tips in the bathroom, an extra fan and blankets, plenty of condiments including butter, hot sauce in the fridge... The layout was great, the downstairs had the kitchen with bar counter, couch and desk areas. The "Tiny House" had a front porch and just outside the window a fire pit with a ring of chairs. I can't wait to come back with friends and take advantage of a summer night.

Tiny House

Really cute house. Set up is very minimal. The host was amazing sent really in-depth emails about what to see and do in the local area. Also very clear instructions on how to access the property. Very responsive to issues that we had whilst staying there. Unfortunately didn't get to meet the host, but met her two cats who were adorable. We stayed primarily for the ACL festival. The festival grounds were within walking distance (if you like walking). Close to congress street and Zilker Park, lots of opportunities to paddleboard and kayak on the river.

Great Tiny House

The tiny house was great! There was a lot more room than we had initially anticipated, and Amy was a great host by providing list of activities to do in Austin during our stay. The house is well kept, in a quiet area, but close enough to a lot of great locations.

Great location for exploring

The Tiny House had everything we need, nothing we didn’t, and we really enjoyed our stay. The description of the property, amenities, and the pictures in the listing are thorough and accurate. The Tiny House was a great jumping off point for spending time in the South of Congress and East Austin. We really enjoyed exploring these areas so the proximity was great. The availability of Lyfts also helped – while a number of destinations are within walking distance, sidewalks were rare. Communication with Amy was easy and seamless. Amy’s messages were always friendly, helpful, clear, and prompt, and she made check-in a breeze. The info she provided about nearby neighborhoods prior to our visit went above & beyond! The weather was quite hot during our stay. The wall unit a/c is pretty loud & located next to the bed - i would consider earplugs next time. Looking forward to our next visit to Austin!

Everything you need in a tiny space!

While we stayed there for the location in Travis Heights, we loved the tiny house and the outdoor space with the gorgeous live oak canopy. The inside has everything you need-even some classic board games. :)

Generally all good

The yard could be a bit more "picked up" - but other than that it was a nice place to stay with about a 20 minute walk to South Congress.

Great Spot for 2!

I stayed with a friend. Amy greeted us warmly and provided a breakdown of the house and neighborhood. The little house with loft bedroom was clean and equipped with linens, coffee, and everything necessary in the kitchen. The couch is plenty comfortable for sleeping. The yard sits under a beautiful elm tree with a comfortable place to relax and hang out. We used the 2 bicycles to explore the city. Amy was kind and responsive. We’re very grateful for the time we spent in Austin at Amy’s place!
