Pefect locale for Austin stay
Review Submitted: April 18, 2009
Date of Stay: April 2009
You cannot find a better place for the price and location. This cottage is located on Airport Blvd and I-35, which only puts you within minutes from downtown Austin or North Austin. I've stayed at this place a few times and always happy with my accomodations. Love the privacy and the "austin vibe" to this little cottage. As a frequent business traveler, having homey feel to my lodging such as Butler cottage is a fresh alternative to bland hotel rooms with fluroscent lightings and stained sheets. I love doing Austin weekends and this cottage always assures me a cool stay for my budget
Nice Spot!!!

Great location! Five dollar taxi ride to downtown and 6th street music scene. Funky little taco shacks and cool coffee shops within walking distance. The rental was clean and the bed super comfortable. Coffee and tea on the house! I even ran into a flock of peacocks on a morning run! The owners are helpful and full of suggestions for sight seeing. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone and will stay here again on my next trip to Austin.
Butler Cottage

We had the pleasure of staying at Butler Cottage recently and were delighted. We felt like we were at the beach. It is very charming and close to pretty much anything you might want to do. We had the opportunity to walk through the neighborhood and were thrilled to see the many peacocks who apparently reside there. We also had a chance to check out the "rooster in residence". While he did make quite a bit of noise, it was certainly not an issue for us.
We will most definitely stay on future visits to Austin!

My husband I stayed for 3 night in the lovely Butler Cottage. It was clean, cozy and the light filled bedroom with the huge surrounding windows felt like we were sleeping in a tranquil gazebo. Reyna was very helpful with any questions. The area was close to the highway but not noisy from it and it was very convenient to the downtown area that is filled with wonderful restaurants and great vintage shops. We would definitely stay again!
weekend fun

My husband and I came back to this rental again last weekend ( we were here before a month ago). We really like the convenient location and the sweet landscaping in the enclosed fence. This is a small unit with everything we need. The nice couple who own this are next door and very responsive when we needed extra towles. Having a kitchen saves a lot of money we would have spent eating out.
SXSW getaway!

We came over from Europe for the SXSW festival and were really happy to have a little haven to get away from the madness and take a break when needed! The property is just as it appears in the photos - good news! The owners were charming, welcoming and full of useful tips and advice about Austin and the festival. I went jogging quite a bit and the neighbourhhod was beautiful. We were without a car and although we enjoyed all the people we met on the bus into town I would say that a car rental would make things slightly easier traveling around. We loved Clementine's the coffee shop and El Chilito for great Tex-mex. We'd definitely book Butler Cottage again - festival or no festival!
Owner's Response: Our guests come from all over the world for so many different reasons. While we make it a policy to strictly respect the privacy of our guests, we also love meeting them when the opportunity arises. We have had some of the most interesting and wonderful people stay at Butler Cottage and love sharing our knowledge of Austin and its surrounding areas. If you do stay with us, please don't hesitate to come next door and say hell!

Stressful visit
-ripped sheets from being so threadbare ( no spare set)
-2 bath towels and 1 hand towel for a 2 week stay with 2 people
-no microwave as advertised
-less than adequate supplies in the kitchen ( felt like I was camping)
- so humid that wine corks crumbled ( ruined a nice bottle of $40 wine)
-coffee table with no surface to place things upon( covered in pretty but senseless river rock)
-no directions on what to do with the trash
-crowing roosters at all hours of the day
-noisy intersection and a very transitional neighborhood
-heat and air provided with a swamp cooler and electric portable heaters
-lots of senseless decoration that made the cottage cute but took up much needed space
-very hard to lock the door from the outside-deadbolt didn't work
-cockroaches
This visit was so stressful due to the discomfort of the cottage that we had a miserable time. It is too small for more than a night or two stay. I would not stay here if you are planning on cooking many meals or staying home much. If you decide to risk it , don't forget your ear plugs, towels and a can of roach spray.

Owner's Response: We were very surprised and saddened to see this review as we do our very best to ensure that our renters are comfortable and leave happy. We live next door to the property and are always on hand to provide any extra amenities should our guests ask for them (plus we love to meet our guests when the opportunity arises). We store extra sheets, towels, and washcloths and offer to change sheets and clean the cottage for our longer term guests when requested. Most of our guests find the kitchen to be adequately stocked, and we are always adding cookware (including a microwave in the near future) and other items to make the Cottage more homey. Our Eastside neighborhood is eclectic but hardly transitional. The homes are older with beautiful, well established trees and we border a newer development, with miles of walking trails, parks, playgrounds, ponds, and shops. Our neighborhood also is host to such wildlife as a family of peacocks, a goat who walks on a leash, and Jim - the rooster maligned in the above review. Jim does get going early in the morning, and we now offer complementary ear plugs to block out his serenades. Unfortunately, roaches are sometimes a part of life in Texas, but we do use environmentally friendly pest control services to keep those guys out. This isn't the Ritz and we don't promise luxury, but we do offer a lovely rental that most people find fun, charming, and comfortable. We hope you will come and find out for yourself. Please stop in and say hello if you do!
Excellent

The folks at Butler Cottage are wonderful to work with. They were very prompt in providing info and answering questions. We have some special needs due to a medical condition and they were happy to accommodate.
Centrally located with great ambiance

My husband and I recently stayed here for our annual visit to Texas, after moving away to Washington State 3 years ago. We both love Austin, and were thrilled to have found a place to stay that completely embodies what Austin really is a - a jewel in the heart of Texas. Very close to I-35, it was still wonderfully quiet at night. The kitchen is fantastic, the bed is super comfortable (we're spoiled with a memory-foam mattress) and there's plenty of closet space for everything that we brought along. We were able to be 30 minutes away from everyone that we had planned to see, and we would love to stay here every time we came into Austin. Thank you for giving us a great place to spend the last leg of our trip!
Perfect Austin Place

This place was perfect for a recent week-long trip to Austin for myself and my daughter. It is conveniently located with easy access to the highway, but still a nice neighborhood setting. The kitchen had everything we could want. Also, it is located very close to Manor Rd which has quite a few great restaurants - definitely an area to check out when you rent this property!
