Thanksgiving in Austin
This really is a charming historic house in Downtown Austin. We were a family of 8 ranging in age from 31 to 70 from around the country meeting for Thanksgiving. There are plenty of bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen and dining area, and the location was great. We were able to explore much of the city -- mostly on foot -- from this spot. Highly recommend!

Perfect Bachelorette House
We had the BEST stay for my sister’s bachelorette. We were a group of 14 girls and felt comfortable and safe the entire time. The home is massive and has great common areas both inside and outside for the group. The bedrooms are large and comfortable, with 3 bedrooms conjoining to each other (which was a lot of fun for the girls group!) The house is a safe walking distance to Rainey Street, which we only did during the day, and a short Uber/Fetii to all other popular locations. The host Shannon is extremely accommodating and communicative! She allowed us to drop our luggage super early and then come back to decorate prior to check in time while she finished preparing the home. The extra decorations left behind were also a big hit! The house has everything you need: from extra tape to sharpies to a ton of dishware. I highly recommend this property for your next group trip!

A great Friendsgiving in austin
We are 3 friends who went to college together and then moved to different parts of the country. We reunited with our families for a few days during the thanksgiving break. The house was spacious, comfortable and clean. Lots of room for groups to hang out in lots of spaces. We especially loved hanging around the fire pit! Highly recommend!

Great for Bachelorettes!
Overall we had a great stay. Positives: Bachelorette drawer with extra supplies!! Lots of space and seating. Comfortable beds. Excellent communication from the host. Really fun outdoor space - though admittedly we did not take advantage because it was so hot. Negatives: There were not parking permits so we had to find street parking which was hit or miss. There were a lot of homeless people in the area so it wasn't as walkable as we were hoping.

Family trip to Austin
We visited Austin for a wedding and since we had mix of ages with our guest we wanted to stay closer to downtown for restaurants and things to do, and this property was perfect for that! We loved that it was a historical style home but updated and functional. We traveled with little ones ranging from 9 months to 3 years old and there was plenty of space and the home felt safe for our group. The back deck was so nice to hang out and eat as a group. We loved this rental so much, if we go back to Austin we will definitely be returning!

Awesome stay!
I stayed here with a group of 10 women (all in our 40s) for our annual girls trip. The house is fantastic, plenty of room for all of us, and just a very unique, historic home. The location is also great, super close to downtown if you don’t mind walking or a short karaoke-cab ride away. Yes they have karaoke-cabs here! Shannon was very responsive the few times we had a question and the house is well-stocked with anything you need. Would definitely stay again!

The best rental experience I have ever had!
I cannot say enough good things about this home. Firstly, Shannon is amazing. So communicative and kind. Second, the house was exactly like the listing and even better in person. There’s a “pay it forward” mentality with the home where previous bachelorettes left behind decor and favors to use and we were so excited to be able to do the same. Truly, this house is so perfect. The beds are the most comfortable beds, the house is decorated beautifully, and it was exactly what we were hoping for. I cannot recommend this home enough!!!!

Great location!
Pros: location, great history of the home and neighborhood, character, owner was helpful in recommending Austin music venues, very accommodating for large groups (we had 9 people) Cons: had to wait 15 min in 101 degree before owner knew we arrived, upstairs shower was lukewarm, grounds could have been more clean (dead plants in planters, leaves and needles could have been blown or cleaned up) One thing that would have been helpful was to have info on some good food/music in the House Rules Book

Decent
Overall decent experience but not exactly what we were expecting- owner was there upon arrival still preparing the home for 45 minutes (check-in was 4pm, we arrived about 4:05pm), not impeccably clean, lots of items broken throughout the home (upstairs shower curtain, bathroom door handle, one of the beds). However the mattresses were very comfy, the ac felt great, the outdoor seating in the back was nice. Overall, nice home for big groups.

Quant space in the powers to location of Austin, TX
Incredible house, from location and space, to decor. Fit 12 comfortably. Backyard was incredibly spacious. Entire property is gated, which adds a layer of safety for our all female group. Location is great for going out at night, eating during the day, and just about anything else you’d want to experience in Austin. Host was easily reachable via the messaging feature. Had zero issues with the features of the home. Would absolutely stay here again!
