Soothing retreat!

5 of 5
Submitted: February 17, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
I loved my stay at this house. It is modern and soothing. The master bedroom is incredibly comfortable. Toiletries are provided (next time I stay here, I won't waste space packing my own). I loved how close it is to quintessentially Austin places like Zilker Park, downtown, and some funky stores. The house was very clean and tidy- the professional cleaning service does a great job. The owners were very responsive when I had questions. I'll stay here every time I visit Austin.

Didn't want to leave the house

This place is amazing. We were in town for New Years Eve and we didn't even want to leave the house or garden.

It's modern and you can definitely pick up on an Asian influence - but to us it was all Austin. The master bedroom, bath and deck upstairs were great (especially the shower with 2 shower heads and multiple shower nozzles. Nice.

The design and art books are a unique touch. We actually got some ideas to try out with our home design. You definitely feel like you've escaped into a peaceful oasis. We will be back!
