Perfect location to explore Austin

This house was had the best bedroom layout for couples going on a trip to Austin. Everyone has their separate rooms and then can gather in the huge living/kitchen area. Tons of sitting and great outdoor patio. We explored all of Austin and loved this location. Thank you!

Phenomenal location, gorgeous stay

This house exceeded my expectations. The house was in a great location, very walkable, with a gorgeous view of downtown. The house itself was modern, functional, and full of the little touches you love to see in a VRBO (baskets of throw blankets, board games, a well stocked kitchen). I didn’t reach out to the host during the stay, but they were very communicative prior to check in. I would highly recommend this property.

Great meet up location

Our group from all over North America got together for a great weekend. We even had a few friends stay at a near by hotel. It’s close to the park and river activities and a scooter or uber to downtown. After smelling the BBQ in the backyard we had to cater dinner one night from Terry Black’s BBQ.

Great Austin spot

The house is very well-maintained, has a great vibe and is in a great part of Austin. Be prepared for the management company to gather info on all adult guests (cell phone, email address, DOB, etc.) and for a cleaning crew to come every morning (around 9am) with a card that says if you don’t let them in, you’ll be charged an extra $100/day.

Weekend Girls Trip

This property was perfect for a quick weekend girls trip. Plenty of space in the living room area for lounging with guests. The living room leads to the outdoor deck which has views of downtown Austin. The master bedroom was spacious and the bathroom was huge! The house was updated with very comfortable beds, new kitchen appliances, and a large wine cooler! Highly recommend staying here for a girls trip or with a few couples!

Austin Food & Wine Festival

My group of 12 friends very much enjoyed our stay at the Daniel House in Austin. The house has a modern vibe, a great view of the city, and was well equipped for everything to enjoy our stay. Our sleeping arrangements were comfortable for 12, and we had plenty of room throughout the house. The location was absolutely perfect for experiencing the food & wine festival, with the grounds being less than 10 minutes walking distance. Would definitely stay at the Daniel house again for our next group trip.

Austin Mom's Weekend

We had a wonderful time. The house is great. Only thing I wish was different - one more restroom. And I wish they put down rugs... I'm not very sensitive to noise when I sleep but you can literally hear every single thing in the house. Location is great and modern decor is beautiful.

Perfect setting for small team offsite

We are a small corporate team of 7 people and needed a quiet place to work on upcoming team objectives. We needed a big open area, separate bedrooms, and a location central enough in the city to allow us to go out in the evenings for some fun. This house hit all of the criteria, and then some. The house itself is beautiful; the city skyline view, the decorating themes throughout the house, the gourmet kitchen and wet bar, everything was designed to impress at first glance. Everyone on our team, from the president down to the event planner, was impressed! The bedrooms are all well-decorated and comfortable. The outside space is stunning with its views of the city skyline, but not so close to the street as to create any noise. The main living space is perfect for meetings, all the chairs were comfortable and perfectly spaced so that people who wanted to work from the table could work close enough to those who were kicking it on the couches. If we are ever in need for a small team getaway again, we'll be checking availability at the Daniel House first.

Beautiful home. Great location.

Great space for the 11 of us to gather to celebrate our son’s graduation from UT. Key conceirge was wonderful helping us set up an in home chef for one dinner (Chef Vanessa was awesome). It was so nice to have plenty of space to relax and visit together. Loved that it was near the trail for our runners in the family. Loved that we could walk into downtown for those who wanted the bar scene. Thanks for a relaxing weekend. A couple quick suggestions from our people: Since we all needed to share bathrooms it was suggested to add mirrors in the bedrooms for people to use to get ready to minimize bathroom time. Also luggage racks or little tables in upstairs bedrooms would be awesome for easier access and getting clothing off floor. The gas grill would not fire up when Chef was there - but we used the green egg and that was wonderful. Final comment- we put some paper at the bottom steps to break up the sight line. We had people ‘’miss a step” and trip because the wood all blends together especially when coming down the steps.

Fabulous

The communal living area in this house was fabulous. The kitchen, living room and dining room are all open concept creating a perfect gathering spot. The piece de resistance though was the large glass wall in the back with spectacular views of downtown Austin. The elevated deck just beyond the glass was another wonderful spot for gathering. We had 7 family members staying there. You can sleep more, but as in all Austin rentals, there are a couple of bedrooms that are less ideal. One with no windows in the lower level that shares the primary bath and one with pocket doors off the kitchen. But both are still beautifully furnished with comfortable beds. The primary bedroom and bath are huge and dreamy. The location of the house is fantastic. The house sits on a quiet residential street with pretty houses tucked behind businesses. We walked to a wonderful coffee shop called Carpenter each morning and there is a delicious BBQ spot, Terry Blacks, right around the corner. It seemed all our events were less than a mile away. We would highly recommend this rental. If we come back, we’d stay there again.

TERRIBLE - DON'T RENT

The structure is cracking in almost every room and has an approximate 4" grade in the great room. It appears to be unsafe to inhabit. Roach droppings in kitchen drawers. Roach ran across kitchen countertop in middle of afternoon. Oven was filthy. Hot water minimal in kitchen faucet. RO faucet in kitchen doesn't work. Jetted tub in master doesn't work. TV in great room difficult to use. So many leaves and mud on driveway we had difficulty getting the car up the steep embankment. Floors around toilets are yellow stained. Only 2 appliances: coffee maker and blender. Obvious bridal parties as male anatomical glasses are in the wet bar even though website says no bridal parties. Weak internet connection: 5.54 Mbps download and 4.70 Mbps upload. Don't stay here.
