Overall, very nice property

4 of 5
Submitted: May 3, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
It was very easy to coordinate arrangements for the house and the owner was flexible on our arrival time. The house was a perfect size for our group of 7. It would be nice to have curtains or shades covering the windows in the 4th bedroom. Was easy to walk to SoCo where you find a wide range of restaurants.

Perfect

Submitted: April 17, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
This short weekend stay was not nearly long enough. We were attending a wedding and had so many events to attend, we did not have nearly enough time to relax and enjoy the house. There was more than enough room for us, our children and grandchildren. Probably could have used another bathroom, but we all made it with no trouble. Everything is so comfortable, beautiful and serene at this wonderful house. Beds were great. The kitchen, breakfast room and dining rooms were very accommodating. Having two living areas was a great help, so everyone had a space in the house. The outdoor terraces were probably everybody's favorite gathering places. At night we would gather on the 2nd story terrace to enjoy Austin's skyline and the stars. In the mornings we all gathered for coffee and conversation on the back covered porch. Got to enjoy a stroll on the wooded paths through the property. The property is located close to downtown,
I-35 and many other venues. Celebrated oldest granddaughter's birthday also. We all had such a great time, everyone wants to come back this summer to enjoy all of the summer activities in the area and be able to stay in this beautiful historic home again. Owners were very accommodating. So much better to have gotten to be together in this wonderful house instead of in separate hotel rooms in Austin.

Convenience is not over-rated. Why stay downtown in a hotel near all the chaos, when you can rent a 1929 built historical home built on 6 lots?

My friends and I opted to rent this house and everything was as advertised. There is a definite "wow" factor when you arrive.

It is extremely spacious and each room has a different look.

Beautiful house!

We loved our stay! The house was beautiful, as well as the grounds, and there was plenty of room for our group. The views of downtown from several areas of the house are spectacular! Beds are comfy too! The second floor outdoor patio is so fun - outside and surrounded by the tops of trees - really cool and secluded feeling. Looking forward to our next stay!

Amazing time in Austin

5 of 5
Submitted: July 20, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
My family and I had a wonderful time in Austin. We stayed at the Reuter House which was the perfect location for us. Close to downtown, football fields, shopping, golf course and the neighbourhood pool. The house itself had everything we needed. Amazing views of the city from the roof top terrace. Jennie was very helpful if we needed anything. Loved the kitchen and the main living area was where we spent a lot of our time. Would defintely recommend it and would stay again.
