HA Employee Austin
Review Submitted: May 12, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
We had a lovely stay in Academy Drive. Our party was made of 3 adults and one toddler and the house was the perfect size and layout for this. The master bedroom is large enough to accommodate an energetic 3-year old and everything had been thought through. We enjoyed drinking our welcome bottle of wine and found the information pack, leaflets and maps very useful. The location is obviously fantastic, being so central. Our timetables (and the weather!) unfortunately did not allow us to make use of the decked area outside but we’re hoping we can do so if we have the pleasure to come back next year. My daughter said: “I really really love this lovely house” and we adults could not agree more! A great house, full of character, in a great location.
Owner's Response: Thanks Homeaway!! Sandy

Our family stayed in this wonderful home over the
Thanksgiving holiday. It is a wealth of unique
Austin decor; a real enjoyment! We comfortably
entertained and served lunch to 12. Our guests (all
from Austin) were so impressed - they all have
asked for rental information so they can have their
families stay there in the future. Sandy is a great
landlady; she offered any help and even delivered
an extra table for us to use! We can't wait to return!

Review Submitted: June 30, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
We enjoyed staying at this house very much. It was perfect for my wife and myself and our mother/mother-in-law who joined us. The house itself is set up very nicely and the location is perfect in relation to downtown, UT, South Congress, St Edward's etc, Zilker Park, etc. The master bedroom is very nice and roomy with a comfy bed. Although we ate out most of the time we enjoyed having the nice kitchen to make coffee and breakfast. You will find plenty of pans and cooking utensils in the kitchen. We also really appreciate Sandy being pet friendly - our two hounds really had a good time in the backyard and sleeping on the nice cool hardwood floors. This beats a hotel by far and really is a good value.

Review Submitted: June 22, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
We had a lovely time staying at the home. Great location, very clean, very quiet and lovely shade trees to provide shelter from the blistering Texas heat. It was dreamy lying on the couch, looking through the windows to the squirrels and birds playing in the trees that surround the back deck. I was born and raised in Austin and upon returning to show my family the town I only wanted to stay in Travis Heights which still hangs on to a bit of funk from "old Austin." I highly recommend the house and Sandy and Glen! The "year round Christmas tree" on the back deck is fabulous! Thanks!

The house is really nice, well kept and located in the nicest area of Austin (especially if you are going to the Lonestar Roundup Hot Rod Show, few minutes walk from the Continental Club). We were in 5 and it is a good size giving you enogh privacy.
