Jan 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Location, location, location! This beautiful Zilker Park property has it all. A short trek to the walking trails of the Park and Town Lake. We had the special opportunity to be in Austin for the annual Trail of Lights and we were within walking distance! The property is comfortably arranged and has three scenic sitting areas outside. Absolutely beautiful setting. Plus, you are only a short 5 minute drive to the heart of Austin’s entertainment area and some of the best restaurants you will find anywhere. The property is particularly well suited if you need easy access to Loop 1 which takes you to either the far reaches of either North or South Austin. The owner was readily available to answer any questions we had. ##### Virginia H. Stayed 14 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### George H. Mar 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Could use some attention & improvements Property location is the best thing going for it: close to Zilker Park, babbling stream literally outside the house, quiet neighborhood. The kitchen could definitely use some more dishes and equipment. Plates & cups are in the next room and that’s inconvenient. Ice maker was frozen solid and leaking down to puddle on the floor, Roku quit working and needed several reboots, the remote control quit working altogether, and owners seemed to be less than concerned. We had no cell phone signal (ATT) and therefore no internet necessitating a phone call resulting in being told to look at the email instructions for the passwords in spite of the fact we had no internet accessibility. Outdoor furniture was dirty and we had to wipe everything down in all three outdoor spaces. Main bath had only a bar of Dial soap! This isn’t a men’s locker room. Linens were clean and in good condition, but too few kitchen linens. Only 2 kitchen towels, one of which was rolled up to contain the leaking ice maker. This house was more work and stress than it was worth. Obviously the owners view this property as a cash cow and therefore don’t really care. Won’t stay here again. ##### George H.

Everything was easy to find. The location is perfect. We easily walked to town lake trail. There is a small creek nearby that you can hear at night if you leave the windows open at night which was such a treat! There is a small yard that faces the creek area and is securely fenced in. It was perfect for traveling with our dogs. The property manager, Sally, was quick to respond to any messages. ##### Blythe C. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brandon M.

Thanks Scott and Sally. ##### Robert K. Stayed 30 nights in Dec 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gretchen J. Nov 1, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and great property! The place was great, plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The three outdoor spaces were a nice addition. Location was great very quiet, a quick walk to Barton Springs, walkable to some restaurants (under a mile) and only about 1.5 miles to down town. We walked along the river to SOCO once and from downtown, once with no problems. We used uber which was a quick 5-10 minute ride downtown. Beds were very comfortable as well as sofas in the living room., the kitchen and laundry was convenient and a plus. The small grocery store only 3-blocks away is convenient with larger stores within 2 miles. We had a good rain storm and got to watch the creek flow at full force right outside the outdoor patio. Overall great place to stay, we would definitely stay there again of we go back to Austin. Highly recommend it! ##### Gretchen J. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Melinda B. May 14, 2019 #### Pleasant home Pleasant home in a great, quiet neighborhood near lots of great outdoor things to do (hiking, swimming), with easy access to the city. We appreciate the effort of the homeowners made in providing supplies that you normally do not bring with you, something more Vrbo owners should aspire to. The unit was clean and the living space was comfortable. We suggest the homeowners put in a new fan in the upstairs bathroom (it did not work and we had to deal with hot,steamy conditions). Also, we ran out of hot water on one occasion. Future renters should know that the friendliest cat we have ever met will greet you at all times of the day and night. This place, and the owners' caring touches, make the property worthwhile to rent. ##### Melinda B. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joel P.

It was very easy to get to downtown Austin. The 2nd floor balcony in the master bedroom was a nice touch as was the complimentary bottle of wine. Would definitely stay there again. ##### Colin N.

Wonderful location also. ##### Patricia J. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Bruce R. Nov 2, 2018 #### An ideal location that is close to Zilker Park, downtown, and SOCO. This rental is close to everything that is happening close to downtown Austin. It is at the end of a quiet cul de sac and we felt safe walking to Zilker Park and the neighborhood convenience store. It is a short app $10 Uber ride to downtown. The main bed was comfortable (did not try others). Unit was clean and Sally made the rental process very smooth. We would stay here again due to the location alone. The rental is a little dated and would benefit from some updating. Outside areas could be cleaner with better furniture. We wanted to be outside due to the peaceful creek side location but outdoor areas were not very clean or inviting. ##### Bruce R.
