The house was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Easy access to highways, but a quiet neighborhood that was fun to take walks in. Laura was helpful but not intrusive. I couldn’t have asked for better.

Home had everything you needed.
We were in town for F1 so the quite neighborhood was exactly what we needed after long day at track. Communication with Laura was amazing.

We had a great visit to Austin with our 2 kids, age 2 and 4. The house was very clean, had everything we needed (including books, toys, baby shampoo, potty seat, snacks) and very conveniently located. Laura provided great communication and was very responsive to our questions. We weren't able to utilize the outdoor space as much as we would've liked due to so many mosquitos at this time of year (though bug spray was even provided and mosquitos are just everywhere) but there was plenty to do in the home and around the area!

We loved staying here, especially with a special touches for a young child. Clean and minimalist, yet had everything we needed and more. Quiet, safe neighborhood. Above average communication from the host.

We had a family wedding in Austin and searched for a vacation rental that was economical and would accept our dogs. This home was wonderful! It exceeded all our expectations! Laura was always easy to reach and made certain our questions were answered quickly! It is a lovely open home that was super clean! Great deck and backyard for relaxing! Easy access to everywhere we needed to go! Absolutely delightful stay!!!

Laura's place was perfect for our needs! My family (husband, 2 kids ages 2&7, and my mom) and I stayed here while visiting other family for the week. The house was very clean and well organized, check-in was easy. The beds were comfortable and the two kids' rooms were just what we needed. The 2 year old had his own crib and the 7 year old had his own room with twin bed and so many toys to play with! They loved it! There were so many conveniences if you have small children such as a changing table, a potty insert, high chair, children's shampoo, etc.
It was a great space to cook, hang out with family, and watch movies in the cozy living room. Instructions were provided which made everything easy to find and utilize.
The host was very thoughtful in checking in with us about our needs for her place in the weeks leading up to our trip. Laura was very responsive via text if we ever had a question during our stay. We couldn't find the corkscrew one of the first nights so she had one overnighted on Amazon and it arrived the next morning! In the meantime, she asked a neighbor to lend us a corkscrew for the evening! It was above and beyond.
We had a great time during our visit in large part due to Laura's hospitality. We will definitely try to stay here again when we visit the area!

We stayed at Laura and Pauls for 3 weeks while we were in Austin for a program for my daughter. Communication was always top notch leading up to and throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we need. If there was something we needed, it was shipped to the house ASAP. The open layout was perfect for our family and we cooked most nights and our son loved all the toys provided. We truly felt at home here. The location was also perfect to access lots of what Austin has to offer. We would definitely stay here again!

First the Good: the home and the host is set up for children and this was helpful with our young son. The Bad? The home is minimally equiped and not conducive for stays more than one or two night. Pots and pans are terrible, one could find less damaged ones at Goodwill. There are many windows with no curtains, including the master bath, which is why my wife after getting out of the shower was face to face with the pest control man we didn't know was coming. There is mold on the shower curtains, No toaster ( the host said it was a fire hazard even though statistically your home is 5 X more likely to burn down from a fire in a refrigerator.) The light switch in the kitchen has failed and chooses to work when it wants to, the host said nothing can be done ( How about replacing the switch?) No hangers in any closets, no closet in the master BR. the washer drains to the garage floor. I could go on and on. For a property that asks for this much money, there are MANY better choices than this one.

The house was such a cool style and was perfect for our pups to relax and get away from city life. Owner was super polite and helpful. Great distance from downtown and lake Travis. Would love to stay again.

This was the perfect place for us and for our daughter and her family to explore Austin as a potential future home. The location provided access to the city center, as well as house searches north, west and southwest of town. After a trip to the city for Guero’s Tacos or a hike at McKinney Falls State Park, the Greenbelt area, or River Place Nature Trail (our favorite), or after a bike ride in Steiner Ranch or a bit further out in Dripping Springs, coming home was so comfortable, either to make a meal in the bright kitchen or to order out at one of the many local restaurants. (The H-Mart a few miles away was a bonus!) Our pups enjoyed our long walks in the neighborhood and through a nearby park. Laura was the perfect host, providing information and a warm welcome from the moment we booked. She made sure we had everything we needed, and responded whenever we had a question during our stay. We won’t be returning…only because our daughter is moving there! But we highly recommend Laura’s and Paul’s home as a great Austin home base/getaway.

Relaxing, comfortable home! My husband and i work from home and had plenty of space to spread out for our respective conference calls. When our college kids returned for Christmas holidays, it was comfortable for all. A safe, casual neighborhood, we took many long walks. While not central, it's easy access to 183 makes a very quick car trip anywhere in Austin. We even got to enjoy the neighborhood Christmas parade one morning, pass the home. Laura was also extremely responsive to our questions and needs (which weren't many.)

Laura (Owner) is an excellent communicator. We had to push back our move into her home due to massive snow/ice storm that hit Austin. She was more than willing to accommodate us and extend our rental for the missed time due to her house not available for our scheduled move in day. The house was great- kitchen has everything you need to cook and clean. Kiddos both had their own rooms and Laura set them up for each kid prior to arriving. We would stay here again!
