About Katherine

I fell in love with Austin while attending University here. I left briefly with work -- got back to Austin as soon as I could!

Katherine purchased this house in 2002
Why Katherine chose Austin

This house was purchased for its location relative to everything Austin, along with the retro 1940's neighborhood appeal. The easy, laid back charm of the house and neighborhood remain, but now include high tech convenience and entertainment -- WIFI, hidef flat screen TV, cable and DVR service!

What makes this house unique

Highlights that we enjoy and are yours to experience include gathering around the kitchen island, the feel of the wood floors under your feet, and hanging out on the stone patio around the fire pit on cool evenings.

Our Great Christmas holiday

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jan 15, 2013
  • Stayed: Dec 2012
We spent 10 days, including Christmas and New Years, and loved every moment.

The house is just as the pictures depict. There were two couples staying at the house. The kitchen was perfect, we made & decorated a large gingerbread house and cookie tree, cooked a goose for Christmas, and two amazing desserts to mention a few things. We ate at the house every meal except for two. We felt that the location was covenient to everything important in Austin.

The neighborhood was very quiet and we always felt safe.

Katherine, was very responsive during the entire process of reviewing the property, renting, and then during our stay.

The location was perfect for us, and one of the couples loved the house so much that they wanted to transport it back to their current home town

Katherine even made extra efforts to help us with the bathroom, because one guest had a walker. That was very special.

I would highly recommend staying with Katherine, and we would return the next time that we are in Austin.

The house was immaculate upon arrival. Everything looked exactly like it did in the listing -- internet, cable, laundry, and all of the appliances worked without any troubles whatsoever. The owner was communicative and helpful, which made checking in/out a breeze. Nearby restaurants (Kerby Cafe!), grocery store, and coffee shop made day to day living easy and fun without a car. The backyard and firepit was the most loved feature, and being able to house our entire group at this price is a close second.

Definitely recommend this property to anyone, and will use it again next time we come through Austin!

We have stayed at this home twice while relocating to Austin. The central location is excellent, affording easy access to any activity in town. Katherine is a great hostess and the home is well furnished and clean. Close to good restaurants and Central Market. Would highly recommend to friends and family.
