Mark and Jeanie are great hosts, communication was great. The property worked out great for us, within walking distance to everything that we wanted. The place is very comfortable, well outfitted, well maintaned and clean.
Mark and Jeanne were fabulous hosts. Extremely friendly and willing to go the extra mile. The location was perfect for everything and the bed was very comfortable. This cottage really felt like a home away from home and I would highly recommend it to everyone!
Great location and a great apartment with excellent kitchen, bath room and bedroom. Spacious living/dining area with fantastic views of the Austin skyline. The hosts are wonderfully attentive and gracious.
This cottage is tucked away in a nice neighborhood located close to downtown Austin. The living space is very comfortable with a full kitchen. There’s a Whole Foods and several restaurant options within a short walking distance. Both Mark and Jeannie were incredible hosts and I’d l definitely stay here again. Thank you!
Great apartment in a lovely neighborhood. Lots to do, easy walk to downtown and amenities. Mark and Jeannie owners are very kind, thoughtful hosts. The beds are comfortable and there is a larger bathroom. Spacious kitchen and nice windows throughout. There is a cute sitting deck overlooking downtown. Really enjoyed the cozy comfort along with the stylish touches. Thank you for sharing your home.
We were very impressed when we checked in. The apartment is so bright and airy, even better than the photos show. Great location - quiet neighborhood, walking distance to many attractions. We were able to walk a few blocks to pick up a MetroBike and use the bike paths to get to many locations. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks to Mark and Jeannie for making our stay so pleasant, such wonderful hosts!
This was a wonderful place to stay! Great location for easy walking to restaurants, grocery stores, shops, even a record store! The house is immaculate; it’s well supplied with towels, soap products, dishes, pots & pans, and even spices for the Thanksgiving dinner I cooked there; it is decorated nicely and has excellent appliances; and the view of the city skyline from the balcony is outstanding! I highly recommend this rental!
If we could give 10 stars we would. The host and hostess were very gracious and the cottage was beyond our expectations on all counts. The view of the city was exceptional.
(I’m a bit sad I can’t live here permanently!)
Thanks Mark and Jeannie!

Great place, great location!
The cottage is really nice. All the furnishings are higher end with lots of space. Great bathroom, kitchen, bedroom and main room. Whole Foods is a close walk so you can cook in the great kitchen. Lots of great restaurants are within short walks as well. As a runner, I appreciated the close proximity to the creek trail down to the lake trail. The hosts were super nice too. I would move in to the place if they’d let me!

As described, as expected
The cottage was as described and as expected. Clean, quiet, and comfortable.
The cleaning fee is somewhat excessive for 1 person staying a few nights.
