Photos and Description of the Austin vacation cottage rental
Cottage, 1 full bathroom, sleeps 2 (plus pets!)

This lovely guest home is located a little over a mile from downtown and the Capitol Building, with easy access to the Sixth Street/Red River Music District and SoCo (South Congress Avenue). The guesthouse has been thoughtfully spaced on a large, landscaped lot to maximize privacy from the main house, with a perimeter fence and spacious dog run for those guests who are traveling with their pooch.

Includes a king-sized bed, a full-size kitchen with countertop bar, beautiful hardwood floors, wireless broadband internet access, and a 32' flat-panel HDTV complete with surround sound and digital cable. From your off-street parking spot, it's less than a mile to a dozen local cafes, coffee shops, and unique bars; it's also under a mile to the UT football stadium.

I've put together a comprehensive guidebook to help you find the 'Best of Austin', which you can explore on the Schwinn cruiser bikes. You'll have everything you need for a fun and memorable stay in the Live Music Capital!

A Little Slice of Heaven

Review Submitted: August 5, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
Stayed there with my wife in June. Whatta place! A lot nicer than a hotel. Clean, well decorated with everything close at hand. Shower for 2 was great, as was the big four-poster bed. Coffee in the am. outside attuned to nature and surprisingly cool. Great for any type of stay. As the owner says "take a bounce" on the trampoline just outside your door.

We had a great stay in the guest house! Everything is so clean and Leslie has thought of everything you would need. The bed is so comfy, perfect place for us and our 2 dogs. Everything was so close to the home, we will be staying here again on our next trip! Thanks again Leslie!

Great digs for a perfect weekend in Austin

Review Submitted: January 8, 2012 Date of Stay: December 2011
Super comfortable and charming. Plenty of space for two and one or two four-legged friends.
Great for a getaway. This host has thought of everything: stocked kitchen, tasteful collection of local music and DVDs, and an incredible visitor's directory. Perfect yard for lounging, reading, drinking coffee, and especially fun for dogs! Location is convenient to downtown. Several great cafes and restaurants within walking/biking distance.

Great getaway!

Review Submitted: January 3, 2012 Date of Stay: December 2011
My husband & I and our 2 dogs drove in from Houston for a concert and stayed at Leslie's guesthome. It was perfect! She has it decorated with Austin music prints and has even put together a great guidebook to Austin. Everything was just as described. We enjoyed being able to bring our dogs with us, and the guest house has a fenced yard and good roads to walk them. We would definitely stay there again!

Charming Cottage

Review Submitted: December 12, 2011 Date of Stay: December 2011
This little guest cottage was a wonderful alternative to a hotel. My husband and I were in town for a wedding, so didn't have a lot of time to spend in the room, but when we did, it was very comfortable.

Leslie has lovingly decorated this guest house with care and imagination. It's colorful and cheery (even on the cloudy, overcast days we were there), and well appointed.

Quiet, private and convenient. We would recommend you give it a try on your next visit to Austin.
