Scott was super friendly and responsive even to the point of buying a coffee bean grinder for the kitchen when he found out we had whole beans. The outside areas were really nice to hang out in and the kitchen was well stocked with tools and pots, etc. we couldn’t have been happier. Great trip. ##### Rob Z.

Our hosts were extremely welcoming, friendly & helpful without being overbearing. Even loaned us their bag chairs to use at a music festival we went to, which were total lifesavers. The rental was so clean, I even felt comfortable going barefoot inside, which I usually am not comfortable doing. The place was well appointed with every thing we could have needed. Bed was super comfortable & the neighborhood was quiet & felt very safe. ##### Angel L. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Felicity R.

The house is a guest house behind the main property and is a really beautiful two story spot. The property owners were the nicest people and shared with us recommendations of places to go check out for food and were great to chat with while taking the dogs in the backyard. The location is really easy to get to anything off Lamar as well as Congress and is in a quiet neighborhood that we felt very comfortable in. We would definitely stay here again when in Austin. ##### Jason S.

We were so pleased with the guest house and could not have had a better experience!! The kitchen was well-stocked, the bathroom was enormous, the bedroom was tranquil, and the backyard was divine. Without a doubt we will stay here again if we return to Austin. Scott was a very communicative and welcoming host. Five stars all around!! ##### Ryan B.
