Outstanding Week

Review Submitted: September 22, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
This was the best way to have spent a week with a small group of friends. Excellent AV equipment to play your music or project video to the wall. Unparalleled fit and finish throughout. Great food options within walking distance. Homeowner very accessible if needed. Staying here was one of the best decisions we made for this trip.

The Architect's House

Review Submitted: September 9, 2011 Date of Stay: March 2011
Alex Lorenz is AMAZING!! Our company stayed at the Architect House during the SXSW Film Festival, and we were not disappointed. The house was spotless, comfortable and well-equipped for all of our needs. Alex and crew were gracious enough to accommodate our arrival time and were extremely courteous. We will most definitely be staying there the next time we are in town for an extended stay.

Thanksgiving at the Architect's House in Austin

Review Submitted: September 8, 2011 Date of Stay: November 2010
My family and I rented this house for Thanksgiving weekend last year. It was our first house rental ever and based on that positive experience we have rented other properties in the U.S. and Canada since then. Although we have done other rentals, this property was one of the best we have stayed at thus far.

The location is great for seeing Austin, very close to 6th street and local pubs and restaurants. The residential area surrounding the house is transitional with a mix of older ranch and modern homes.

The house itself is well-maintained and clean and the owner was always very responsive to any queries we had during our stay.
The kitchen had the full range of cooking utensils for our Thanksgiving dinner and the owner provided toiletries and basic amenities like paper towels, tea bags, spices, etc. The only caveat is that the furniture in the living area is not exactly kid-friendly but we just had to keep an eye on our toddler and she was fine. The owner also provided us with a pack n'play which was very useful as we did not have to bring our own.

Would recommend this property to others for either a short or long-term stay in lovely Austin.

Unique and Fantastic Austin experience!

Review Submitted: September 6, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
We stayed at the Architect's House over the 4th of July weekend (actually 5 nights) and had a most wonderful experience. The owner, Alex, personally met us at the house and showed us how to operate all of the modern amenities incorporated into this one-of-a-kind home. We had more than enough room for our party of 6 and the design was as fascinating as Austin itself. We thoroughly enjoyed the bikes and the kayak since the bike trails and the river (Town Lake) are only a couple of blocks away. We especially enjoyed the projection T.V. that illuminated an entire wall of the living room. The kitchen is a chef's delight and fully equipped. We loved the walkway that lights up at night! The location is extremely convenient to the airport and to downtown Austin. Alex recommended several nearby restaurants which were excellent. I highly recommend this unique ultra-modern home for a wonderful stay.

Striking Architecture. Felt like home

Review Submitted: September 6, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
We were amazed at how such an amazing house could feel like home at once. A real cook's kitchen and open floor plan coupled with awesome exterior spaces and great location was a real find. The listing description is very accurate, and the property is even more beautiful to experience first-hand. Property owner was very polite and was a pleasure to do business with. Austin is such a great town, with an awesome music and food scene. We loved walking along the lake. We have told all our friends about this place, and we can't wait to go back.
