7 Reviews of Property 160594 in Austin, Texas

This home exceeded expectations! We felt as though we had just arrived home from day one. It was perfect for two couples. This house works well for handicapped guests as we could park within 5 feet of the front door and there were no stairs unless you wished to go up to the lovely loft and outdoor roof patio.

We loved the area and enjoyed the walks in the parkland and comfortable neighborhood. We also liked it's convenient location to all of our favorite spots in Austin.

The owners well very helpful and provided so much wonderful reading material for activities and dining. They have put their own personal style into the decorating which helped to make it so homey.

Thanks Dorothy and Howard

Being our first full week stay in Austin, Texas, we were looking for a nice 2+ bedroom house/condo with 2 baths at a reasonable price and in a nice neighborhood. This "Wren House" condo filled the bill perfectly. It had all the amenities of home with 2 large bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, large living and dining area, and fully equipped kitchen, all on the first floor. It was completely private, the only adjoining wall to the other condo being in the garage. The owners lived in this other condo and were quite helpful in providing insight into the area. The Barton Creek Greenbelt neighborhood was quite picturesque with rolling hills and greenery all over, and had easily accessible shopping nearby to stock the complete kitchen. There were also two nice patios for outside sitting, including one off the upstairs 3rd bedroom loft with a great view of the area. On our next weekly stay in the area, this house will be our number 1 choice.

The Wren House (the owner loves birds and has feeders on the patio) is a lovely, fully furnished two bedroom house with a loft. Great location -- within walking distance of Zilker Park and a short drive to downtown and the South Congress strip. The owners were very hospitable and responsive. We couldn't have asked for a better place, and the price was incredibly reasonable.

I can't praise this property and the owner enough. At first I was intimidated about spending money on something sight unseen, but upon arrival all fears were relieved! There is no comparison between this and a hotel, ANY hotel or suite. The home was more beautiful and cleaner than any photo can do justice to. The location turned out to be perfect. It seemed everything we wanted to do was either on the main drag it is set off from or one turn away. A snap to SoCo strip and 6th St. strip. We enjoyed the free tour of the capital, the "duck" tour (as seen on Travel Channel) and many fine cafe's and restaurants. My fave was the "Austin Java" on Barton Springs Rd. The live music scene is incredible. The people there really were amazingly noticeably friendlier than most. Even in traffic, four times someone paused to let me turn in front of them. Staying in this beautiful place was like being in a "2nd home". From the squirrels playing on the fabulous two levels of patio/deck, to the HD tv and movies, the modern kitchen and baths, the impeccable beds and linens and the excellent SW decorating, we were sad to leave! We didn't have time to go canoeing, kayaking, or hiking/biking on the nearby trails.

We stayed for a week, we have no complaints, everything worked out great. It was quiet, convenient to the city, had all the amenities we desired, beautiful condition, great TV and Internet service. Nice to relax in comfort and sometimes do our own cooking after an exhausting day of activities. Hoping its available next time we visit Austin.
