Easy Breezy

Submitted: April 26, 2012 Stayed: October 2011
It was a breeze staying at Zilker Cottage. The place was clean and comfortable. We were able to all be together comfortably and the floor plan flows nicely between inside and outside. In addition its location is very central so getting around austin from Zilker was easy as well.

I was not sure the Zilker Cottage was going to work with for our group when I was researching but it turned out to be just perfect.

Thanks,
Zach

awesome setting

Submitted: April 26, 2012 Stayed: October 2011
The boys and I stayed for halloween weekend and the whole experience was great. Im a regular visitor to austin and was tired of paying for expensive hotels. The house was amazing, it easily holds up to 7 (wayyy better than a small hotel room) and the outside patio was a great chilling spot. Im definitely going to stay here every time I come to austin from now on. oh and the speaker system at the place was legit.

Excellent Time in Austin!

Submitted: April 26, 2012 Stayed: October 2011
Our group enjoyed ourselves so much in both the Zilker House and the Solo Lounge House that we couldn't have asked for more. There is plenty of privacy in both houses with all the amenities you need, even wash soap in the showers. You are in walking distance of some great restaurants, check out Opa's and Maudie's. Downtown austin is easy to get in and out of. I had a great time there and the place was pretty well situated for our needs.

Bright and Cheery - good vibes!

Submitted: April 26, 2012 Stayed: October 2011
We rented the Zilker along with the connecting property, the SoLa Lodge, to accomodate our vacation party of 8. We loved the big windows and skylights!
The location is great - walking distance to some great restaurants and clubs (and stores for necessities). A short car trip gets you on Congress ave to downtown, with cool and funky shops and food trailers along the way. Also convenient to HEB and Whole Foods.
The back deck is a private and cozy gathering place for morning coffee!

Super cute cottage with great patio!

Submitted: April 26, 2012 Stayed: September 2011
My husband and I rented this place with friends for aCL. Jay and Lauren with Vacation Cake were very friendly and easily accessible all weekend long. We loved the house, it was very cozy, and had all the amenities we needed. The tree covered patio in the back yard was awesome! This place felt very tucked away and private and was in a great location for us. We will be back!!
