About Deirdre

Deirdre Earls graduated with Cum Laude honors in Scientific Nutrition and her healthcare career spans nearly thirty years. Having used an imperfect diet instead of chemotherapy to reverse her own disease, now her objective is to use over two decades as a Registered Dietitian to bring the healing power of food to others. A featured speaker for radio and TV, medical professionals, universities and corporations, Deirdre's book sells in a dozen countries and is a best seller at Amazon. A documentary of her recovery, “The Incurables”, airs internationally on Veria TV. Her private consultations, lectures, books, menu designs and newsletter are designed to help others easily implement a sustainable healing diet anytime and anywhere on the path to remarkable results.

Deirdre purchased this cottage in 1994
Why Deirdre chose Austin

I own several 1930's cottages in central Austin. For ten years I lived in and fell in love with this cottage for many reasons. In addition to the extraordinary neighborhood, I was always grateful to enjoy so many original details of this home. Having spent more than two years in Europe, architectural integrity, urban location and uncompromised materials along with a good price became what mattered much more than square footage. Thus beautiful cottages and cozy spaces are a natural fit for me now. I hope you'll enjoy this enchanting property as much as I think you will. Thank you!

What makes this cottage unique

Preserved historical details include original tiles in the kitchen and bathroom, original sinks and cast iron tub, original glass door knobs, original kitchen cabinetry, original ironing board stored inside the kitchen wall. Stand alone cottage with covered parking and large back yard all to yourself. It's very easy to live car free in this cherished neighborhood on the National Register of Historic Places. Delightful parrot colony just one block north at the University of Texas Intramural Field. Comfort is ensured with all linens made of 100% cotton.

Great stay in Austin

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Oct 24, 2011
  • Stayed: Sep 2011
This little cottage was a real find!!! Perfect location for me - within walking distance to my daughter and centrally located to everything you want to do in Austin. The house is adorable - authentic 1930's and has been kept up beautifully. Everything was so clean and comfortable. Beds/sheets were great. Wonderful deep tub/shower. Great A/C and VERY quiet neighborhood, which is important to me. Can walk to many delicious and popular Austin restaurants - Mother's Cafe, Hyde Park Bar & Grill, Quack's Bakery/Coffee shop, Dolce Vita, Antonelli's Cheese Shop, Julio's Cafe, Avenue B Grocery. Love Vino Vino on Guadalupe too. The entire experience made my time in Austin special. It was so nice not to have to fight parking, traffic etc to get "home!!!" I think it is fun and unique to have other options for staying in Austin. Owner could not have been more attentive and helpful and even made sure some jewelry, I left in the bedroom, was returned to me. If your are looking for convenience, character and comfort, I think you would love this place!!

Owner's Response: Thank you so much for taking the time to give a detailed perspective on the cottage, Deborah. It has been a real pleasure getting to know you and I hope so much you'll return soon.

  • Submitted: Mar 12, 2013
  • Stayed: Mar 2013
This is a great little house. That's all one needs to say really. However, I will go on a bit...
The house is one of the last unmolested homes left in Austin from the 30's right down to the original wood floors. It's not enormous but it's charming and the owner has clearly done a great deal of work to maintain the charm while ensuring that everything works flawlessly. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly yet close to a great coffee shop and several restaurants.
I've stayed in both this house and another owned by the same lady and what sets these properties apart from the rest is the owner. Simply said, Deirdre is the best. Her standard of cleanliness is unmatched she is unfailingly gracious and accommodating without ever being obtrusive.

You can't go wrong in making this house a part of your Austin visit.
Owner's Response: This is the best review I'll ever get. It means the world to me that you appreciate how I try to preserve this sweet home. With all my heart, thank you.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at the cottage in Hyde Park. It was clean, comfortable and in a great location! Layla (my boxer) and I very much enjoyed our month here. Deirdre was very kind and helpful. She was always available but never intrusive. I would very highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Austin short or long term. Will definitely be back.

We had a lovely stay in Austin at this charming cottage. I walked to the grocery store, to several restaurants, including Mother's, my favorite, and even to a nice little museum right nearby.

I especially enjoyed Deirdre's nice decorator touches. And the last time I used a built-in ironing board was at a luxury hotel!
Owner's Response: It makes my heart glad that you appreciate the historical aspects of this cottage including the ironing board and how it is built into the wall. Thank you so much for your feedback and for taking such good care of my prized cottage while you stayed, Cynthia.
