Our family of three had an excellent stay. The multiple outdoor patio/balcony areas were great for relaxing after busy days in the sun. Owner was quick to respond and check in/out were a breeze. The location is fantastic for accessing zilker park and barton springs. The neighborhood is quiet.

Great little duplex, and from what I saw was the nicest areas of Austin. Very nice little private patio looking out to the creek. Enjoyed having coffee there in the morning. Very nicely taken care of home and great communication from the host.

My two daughters and I just returned from ACL 2022 and couldn't be happier with our lodging for the weekend. We walked to the festival each day making the entire trip a breeze. Great location and setup!

Great Location
Great location for a weekend visit to Austin. It was very easy to get to downtown Austin. The 2nd floor balcony in the master bedroom was a nice touch as was the complimentary bottle of wine. Would definitely stay there again.

Great location and great property!
The place was great, plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The three outdoor spaces were a nice addition. Location was great very quiet, a quick walk to Barton Springs, walkable to some restaurants (under a mile) and only about 1.5 miles to down town. We walked along the river to SOCO once and from downtown, once with no problems. We used uber which was a quick 5-10 minute ride downtown.
Beds were very comfortable as well as sofas in the living room., the kitchen and laundry was convenient and a plus. The small grocery store only 3-blocks away is convenient with larger stores within 2 miles. We had a good rain storm and got to watch the creek flow at full force right outside the outdoor patio.
Overall great place to stay, we would definitely stay there again of we go back to Austin.
Highly recommend it!

Pleasant home
Pleasant home in a great, quiet neighborhood near lots of great outdoor things to do (hiking, swimming), with easy access to the city. We appreciate the effort of the homeowners made in providing supplies that you normally do not bring with you, something more Vrbo owners should aspire to. The unit was clean and the living space was comfortable. We suggest the homeowners put in a new fan in the upstairs bathroom (it did not work and we had to deal with hot,steamy conditions). Also, we ran out of hot water on one occasion. Future renters should know that the friendliest cat we have ever met will greet you at all times of the day and night. This place, and the owners' caring touches, make the property worthwhile to rent.

Amazing stay
The VRBO was perfect! Beautiful space and extremely helpful owner . Wonderful location also.

An ideal location that is close to Zilker Park, downtown, and SOCO.
This rental is close to everything that is happening close to downtown Austin. It is at the end of a quiet cul de sac and we felt safe walking to Zilker Park and the neighborhood convenience store. It is a short app $10 Uber ride to downtown.
The main bed was comfortable (did not try others). Unit was clean and Sally made the rental process very smooth.
We would stay here again due to the location alone.
The rental is a little dated and would benefit from some updating. Outside areas could be cleaner with better furniture. We wanted to be outside due to the peaceful creek side location but outdoor areas were not very clean or inviting.

Great Property as Described
Great property, well located, clean, with a nice outside space. Owner was very responsive.
Only suggestion would be to provide a can opener but everything else you could possibly need to prepare meals was there.

House adorable! Clean and in a great location
Stayed here while visiting our Son in Austin. Great house. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to explore the city. Great location . We walked to many places, zilker, Barton Springs, restaurants..etc. beds were very comfortable. Great outdoor seating areas and fire pit. This property had everything we needed. We would return without hesitation.

The BEST location!
We really enjoyed our stay at this cute, little condo! The location is truly wonderful as it is so close to everything great around the Zilker park area. Also, the owner is seriously so wonderful to work with! Hands down the best renting experience I have encountered.

Quiet, clean, nice outdoor spaces
Quiet little cul-de-sac street with a tiny stream in the back. I would come home late and it was very safe, easy parking in the driveway. My only complaint is the A/C kept kicking on and making me wake up (sleeping in a strange place is hard). Nice to have 2 sinks and a separate bathroom & closet area. Outdoor seating areas were relaxing. Wish I had a chance to enjoy the wine Sally left!

Fantastic in every way
Ideal Location near all the fun outdoor activities including Barton springs, Zilker Park, Lady Bird Lake. And, near the great restaurants and bars, music...loved the coffee shop/bar on Barton Springs. It's easy to get to all the other hot spots in town too as it's centrally located and just a cheap ride on Fasten to Rainey street or SoCo. Place itself was so clean, beds super comfy, lots of towels, and Sally the host left a great bottle of wine for us. The interior was bright, clean and decorated in a tasteful way. Patios were nice too. Sally made everything so easy and even extended checkout when my flight was delayed. This place was 5 stars all they way. Thank you Sally...hope to be back someday soon!!!

Comfortable, clean, great location!
My family and I had a great experience. The house was clean with nice little extras like comfy beds, super towels and coffee. The location is quiet and private, but so close to everything we wanted to do. We were visiting my daughter and will certainly look to book this property again for our next trip!

Everything you need right here
Great place in a great location. House has about everything you need for a comfortable stay. We stayed for 6 days while on vacation. As a family of four with two little kids (4 & almost 2) we were a little nervous being away from home. This house was perfect. Loved having two floors so husband and I could relax after kids went to bed. Wish we could have enjoyed the outdoor spaces more but we were busy seeing friends and visiting all the sights. Highly recommend and we would return.

Made for a great Holiday season
Really enjoyed our time at Zilker Retreat, great weather enabled us to fully explore Zilker Park and downtown Austin. Whether walking or biking, our location was central to a lot of activites. Would recomend this property to anyone looking to enjoy Austin in a quiet, relaxing location. Thanks Scott and Sally.

Very nice 2 bedroom duplex, a few minutes easy drive from downtown Austin. I stayed here for a family wedding with 2 of my siblings. There were two very comfortable bedrooms and a large living room with a pullout that was perfect. Wonderful outside patio area with a tabletop fire pit that made the evenings relaxed and cozy. Two other deck areas added to the ability to escape. Lovely green belt right out the back with a small creek and the sound of running water. Off in the distance, you cold hear a bit of traffic noise and train whistles when outside, or with the doors and windows open, although this was not noticeable when indoors. Everything was as described, easy check in with a bottle of wine waiting! Sally made it easy, and we had no need to contact her after arrival. Very relaxing, highly recommended.

As UT Austin alumni visiting town, it's great to be able to stay out of downtown (but not too far away). Home was just as advertised in the listing. We loved the quick walk over to the Lady Bird Lake running trail (which borders Zilker Park). Perfect for runners. Would recommend -- not going to find better 2 BRs in the area.

This property was everything I was looking for and more! Very clean, comfortable, and convenient! Easily and comfortably accommodated my group of six. Sally was extremely helpful and available for any questions I had regarding the property and the Austin area. The three separate outdoor areas were awesome and I look forward to staying at this property again soon!

This is my second time staying in one of Sally's properties, and the only downside is that she has raised my expectations so high in terms of what a good HomeAway host should do. First, the property: impeccably clean and well appointed, with beautiful outdoor spaces to enjoy your coffee in the morning. It's in the PERFECT location off Barton Springs next to Zilker Park, making everything an easy ten minute drive away. It was perfect for the five of us who were in town for my sister's graduation.
Finally, Sally herself. You will not find a more caring and considerate host whose whole goal is to make your stay perfect. She was extremely responsive from start to finish and even brought over a gift and card for my sister!
You can bet we will be staying in Sally's properties in all of our future trips to Austin. She's half the reason we want to go back!

We have made many trips to Austin to visit our sons and have always stayed in hotels. Now we wonder why we never tried Home Away! Sally has a wonderful place - up-to-date amenities, great central location, clean - what more could we ask? We enjoyed being able to prepare a dinner for our sons and their friends with a nice, relaxing place to sit and visit.

This house is located in one of the best locations in austin. It's close to anything and everything. It's large with plenty of space, clean with lots of amenities, and a great back yard and patios. The owners are very nice and easy to work with. I give this place an A+. I'm sure you will too.

We loved our stay here. The location was ideal -- with easy access to Lamar and downtown, as well as Zilker park. And it was surprisingly quiet on that dead-end street.
The place was a perfect size -- even with two rowdy boys. We loved the sun filled upstairs bedroom, the creek we could hear just outside the window. And those porches! Awesome.
Sally and Scott were perfect hosts. They responded to every question we had quickly and fully -- and made themselves available to help with whatever we needed.
We loved it! Highly recommend!

This property exceeded my expectations. It was well kept and clean. I stayed here for 12 days while in Austin for business. This property was so cozy, comfortable and quiet. It had everything I needed and more. It truly was perfect! Close to Zilker Park, a gem to see while in Austin. As well as the many beautiful gardens close by to explore. Great food options within two miles, the amazing juice bar right around the corner and the Whole Foods Market on Lamar made healthy eating so easy for me. Last but not least, Sally was wonderful to deal with. I hope I am able to come back to Austin for pleasure and stay again at my home away from home. Thanks!

We stayed at Sally and Scott's property over Labor Day weekend.
This was the perfect location and home for what we seeking to accomplish.
We arrived to a clean well maintained home with a big master bedroom with nice views of trees. The master bedroom opened up to a cute balcony that we could retreat in the mornigs to have our coffee and wake up slowly. The location really ideal for our activities of hiking on the green belt and running around lady bird lake and taking a dip in Barton Springs pool. There were many resturants and bars close by that were also enjoyed :)
We really enjoyed our stay and will definalty be back!
