32 Reviews of Property 325082 in Austin, Texas

This is a first class home. The property was immaculate. The back yard is a perfect size and the outdoor patio is amazing. We spent a ton of our time lounging on the back porch. The interior of the house is beautiful, well taken care of, and was very clean. The beds were super comfy and there was plenty of space. Anyone who is interested in a home on Homeaway, this one won't let you down. All the pictures are accurate. The location is great and the neighborhood was safe. I would recommend this house to anyone.

It's hard to put into words how a house could bring so much happiness and joy. I choose this house for my wedding weekend and had some of my family members stay here. This house was so comfortable and had such a relaxing aurora to it. In the description of this house, it should emphasize how homey this house truly is. Everyone who was at the house felt so at ease and at home. I couldn't imagine a better place to have made all our memories during this special weekend. It truly was a priceless experience. The best part of this whole experience was meeting the owner. He is a crucial part to making you feel welcomed. It's evident to anyone who had the pleasure of meeting him. He was so kind to my family and helped me with any questions that I had prior to our arrival.
Home is where the heart is, even if it's a rental house!

We had the most wonderful time in Austin! The wedding was fabulous and fun. Your house is so warm and comfortable home for our bridesmaids and groomsmen to ready themselves for the wedding. We all enjoyed our stay!
Sincerely,
Sally and Charlie

This was definately 5 star! This was the best VRBO experience ever! We stayed at this property for approx 45 days -- it was TERRIFIC. Everything is very peaceful, well appointmented, nothing loud....it is the best relaxing / napping house. It does has it's moments in using the amazing stereo system throughout the house, having a glass of wine on the back deck....bbq'ing and have a beer. We had those too! And you can't pass up taking a bath in the master...This property is in the heart of Austin and everything is 2 minutes away. If you want to be in the Austin "groove" this is the house. The floorplan is ideal for groups. Everybody has their space and the garage apt was a bonus! Especially for my Mother!! Management was MORE than attentative to our very minor needs. You are guaranteed a great stay at this property!! As vacation renters we are fortunate to have this property on the VRBO list!!

We loved the house!! It is a beautiful, comfortable home and we felt very lucky to be able to stay there for the weekend. Usually we are out and about the entire time we are in Austin, but the house was so relaxing that we spent a lot of time out on the back patio! I lived in Austin while I was at UT but never went to this neighborhood - what a gem.

Also - I can't thank you all enough for bringing over a new table for the back yard. You really went above and beyond. We did get a lot of use out of it over the weekend!

The stay was great and we had a wonderful time! The house was really nice and very comfortable.

We rented this stunning property during SXSW 2010 and couldn't have made a better choice. I barely know where to start. For one thing, the location is ideal -- a mere 5 minute drive or 40 minute walk to the convention center or 6th Street. (But even if you never make it into town, the Barton Springs area bubbles with great food, bars, cafes, and parks.) Yet the house, perched as it is on a cliff overlooking a sculpture garden, is a model of solace and quietude. So bucolic and peaceful were the environs that dragging ourselves into the conferences became something of a chore.

And nestled into this serenity, like a swan drifting lazily in a lake, is a beautiful three-story Craftsman house so lovely and well-appointed you'll wonder what you did to deserve it. There is a chef's kitchen, complete with dual ovens, espresso machine, and professional-grade gas range. The furniture is tasteful and comfortable, the beds deep and lavish. The grassy atrium-style backyard, with metal-roofed breezeway and sculptural well, became the perfect spot for us to recount the day's agenda.

What most merits calling-out here is the design. Everything in the house was chosen with a designer's eye -- nothing is out of place, every detail a blend of mid-century Craftsman linearity and earth-conscious tactile beauty: woods, stones, jute, textiles, iridescent tiles.

The floor plan provides for maximum privacy. Our fairly large group was never bouncing off each other, as has happened before at other properties. The separate apartment over the two-car garage is as tastefully appointed as the main house, and large enough to serve as its own satellite entertaining wing. The master bedroom suite, with its jetted tub, walk-in wet room, and sun-drenched private meditation area, will surely have your group flipping coins.

Other quick notes: The management is beyond accommodating. There is enough parking for more than 4 cars. The coffee place at the bottom of the hill has excellent breakfast tacos. The Wifi signal is a bit weak in the garage apartment, but otherwise good. There are 80+ cable channels and several huge flatscreens, though why you'd want to watch TV in a place like this is a mystery.

In two words: highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and it worked perfectly for our pre-wedding
preparations. It was a beautiful beginning to what turned out to be the most
spectacular weekend we could have imagined. Maybe we'll be lucky enough to
stay again someday.

Our group loved staying at the wonderful house on Barton Springs. From the
open space to the great location, the entire experience was an A+. Management
was easy to work with and very professional. Two thumbs up for anyone looking
for a great rental in Austin, TX.
