Great hospitality and space

The General's Guard cycling team Dallas
Review Submitted: October 27, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
For a group of 6 guys, this was a great house with plenty of room for all of us and our bikes! Bert & Jemima provide a few key essentials - like coffee and juice - which makes the cupboard nice and not bare on the first morning. Nice back yard, too...

Perfect for a Girls' Weekend

Waliya Dallas, TX
Review Submitted: October 13, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
I rented this house for a bachelorette party weekend and it was absolutely perfect. Our group had 9 20-somethings and we all loved the place. It's comfy, cozy and very roomy (with air mattress or sleeping bags, you can sleep as many as 13). Bert and Jemima were easy to work with and they were kind enough to stock the fridge with beverages and snacks. I was shocked by how well the kitchen was stocked with utensils, cookware, dishes, glasses and even spices.

The bathrooms are also stocked with great soaps and facial cleansers. The beds are very comfy with all sorts of pillows. There are plenty of mirrors, so the 9 of us had no trouble getting ready in the morning or at night to go out.

One thing that's not pictured on this site is their backyard. It's huge with a great patio set and a BBQ grill, its perfect for an outdoor BBQ.

The location is great. It's in a quiet neighborhood, but there are all kinds of restaurants less than a mile away and as is one of the major highways. The central location was great. We got to the lake and downtown in less than 15 minutes.

Austin is my hometown and I can say this house is "so Austin". I will rent this home every chance I get.

Perfect setup and transaction for ACL!

DaveFromFlowerMound Flower Mound, TX
Review Submitted: October 7, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Bert and Jemima are awesome! When we arrived, we opened the refrigerator to stash our goodies and guess what we found? A mixed 12-pack of cold Shiner beer to quench our thirst after the drive from Dallas...perfect! There were a total of eight of us that stayed in the house during ACL festival weekend. Just nine miles north of Zilker Park / downtown via MoPac made for easy access and exit from the festival. The accommodations were great...nice beds and showers. Everything was clean and tidy when we showed up. Easy clean up rules. Great HD TV in the living room with places to lounge. Probably the best part of the house itself was the back patio. Covered with a private backyard...great place to hang out and chat with our friends! This was my first time doing a transaction via HomeAway and with Bert and Jemima. Bert made the process flexible, easy, and comfortable. I trusted them completely from the start, and they did everything they said they would do and more! Great people with whom to deal on a sizable transaction. A+++++!!! Thx Bert and Jemima!

Home Away From Home

Not Hay Westerville, OH
Review Submitted: September 29, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We had a great time visiting Austin and this house was part of the reason. The house was clean and comfortable, the TV and wireless internet worked as advertised and the neighborhood was quiet. We visited in August with temperatures of 101 Fahrenheit (39 Celsius for the rest of the world) and the house stayed cool. Non rush hour time to the Capital was just under 15 minutes, about 10 minutes to the University of Texas. Grocery and other stores are within 5 minutes.

Jemima and Bert were the best hosts. There when/if you needed them, but otherwise not.

Comforts of home away from home

Jeff71 Los Angeles, CA
Review Submitted: September 27, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Our family (4 adults, 2 children) stayed here for a week-long trip to Austin. This was our first time going on vacation not staying in a hotel or a timeshare-style condo and we found the experience to be quite pleasant. The owners of the house made sure it was adequately stocked with everything we needed during our stay including a lot of "extras" we were surprised to find (like fresh flowers when we arrived, a few staples like milk, butter, juice, English muffins and beer in the fridge along with condiments, spices, etc.) The house was especially friendly for our daughters, ages 2 and 4. The kitchen was well-stocked with kid-size plastic dishes and the kids' bedroom included a box of toys. The owners even helped us out of a jam, printing our boarding passes the night before we left (while at a friends' house no less). The house was clean, beds were comfortable, Internet was easy to access and the house is very centrally located for visiting various parts of the city. All in all it was a great place to stay. I would recommend it highly and would stay here again myself.
