ELEGANT EASTLAKE VICTORIAN AND GARDENS--SHORT WALK TO DOWNTOWN

Truly a spectacular home away from home - we loved that there was no tv in the central room, and our family passed a leisurely weekend cooking a feast in the giant kitchen, visiting in the parlor, soaking in the hot tub, and playing the baby grand piano.
The discription on the website was extremely accurate. The whole home was clean and complete, we all enjoyed 3 very large bedrooms with newly remodeled bathrooms. We had 6 people who had a comfortable 3 night stay.
Now we have a wonderful memory that starts out "remember when we stayed in the Victorian home in Austin?"
I plan on another stay.
Enjoy!

I couldn't be happier to write this review because Eponymous Garden has come to feel like the home I wish I had in one of my favorite cities, Austin, TX. My wife and I just spent our second stay at Eponymous Garden and are already planning our next visit there. Located in East Austin, just a short 15 minute walk from downtown Austin, this amazing Victorian home is one of the most unique vacation rentals (in a truly unique city) we have stayed in. The property features lush gardens in both the front and back of the house, which are perfect for quietly relaxing. Located in an actual neighborhood you get a true sense of Austin living. The house is immaculate with every amenity provided to make your stay as comfortable and special as hard-earned vacations should be. This house has one of a kind character in both its construction and furnishings, with a perfect blend of modern touches mixed in with true Texas antique sensibility. My wife and I have never needed a car to reach any destination, with taxis, pedi-cabs, and walking all viable and easy transportation options. East Austin is an exciting location with plenty of wonderful restaurants, bars, shops and antique stores just blocks away. Lorne and Deborah are always available to answer any questions and have been wonderful hosts. I highly recommend Eponymous Garden when considering a place to stay Austin. We plan on coming back many times over the years, I cannot express enough how satisfied we have been with our experience there.

Eponymous Garden was a perfect base for everything we did in the Austin area. This historical home was unique and lovely, with updated amenities where it counts for us...the baths and kitchen. In fact, if I had realized how great the kitchen was going to be, we might have planned to cook more while there! The upstairs bedroom had its own little patio with a great view of downtown Austin at night. It's located in East Austin and in a charming old neighborhood.

The innkeeper was next door, allowing us privacy while being close at hand if needed. We were given excellent restaurant and attractions advice via email before we arrived which helped us get the most of our 5-day stay.

I can't say enough about the grounds and gardens and outdoor spaces. We thoroughly enjoyed late night wine and conversation in this lush setting of blossoming trees and plants. There's a rustic area they call The Grotto that's filled with old photographs, antiques and collectibles that's just a fun place to hang out or take photos. There are conversation areas everywhere...on the spacious decks as well as several places in the gardens.

We will definitely return, and will recommend it to our friends and family. We heard that previous guests had used Eponymous Garden for a family reunion because they have other bungalows on the property - we might try that!
