The owner/manager was very easy to deal with. The property was comfortable and clean and had everything that we needed. The best part about the property was the location. It was close to downtown Austin and close to everything! We will definitely return. Thanks Doug.

We had a great stay at the cabin. It's close to many attractions, but far enough to avoid the noise of downtown. Cabin is perfect - clean, comfortable, all the necessities. Highly recommended.

Felt so private and almost “in the country” in the middle of downtown. Walking distance to some really cool restaurants and the park 💕 Comfortable bed and pillows, clean and well-stocked. Host was very easy to get ahold of and communicated well. Will definitely stay again!

Doug was an excellent host. We had a really great time. It’s a cute cabin. It’s rustic and could use an updating but it certainly Served its purpose and we felt very safe. I appreciated the washer/dryer as I hate returning home with a bag of dirty clothes

Doug’s cabin was the perfect place for our weekend visit! It was comfortable and well-set up, and we appreciated having the small kitchen. The bed was also very comfortable. It’s also a fantastic location, close to almost everything we wanted to do, but we especially loved walking over to Zilker for a long walk to start each morning. We’d love to stay here again!

Very cozy cabin in the middle of the city but you feel like you have space. Lots to do around and easy to get to places by walking or rideshare. Doug was great communicating the whole time. We will be back!

We enjoyed staying. The location was excellent and it was very clean. There was a coffee maker but no coffee. There was tea! That is a minor detail. The place worked great for us and our needs!

The location is the greatest part about this place. Very central, which was super convenient for me as I had commitments in both South, North, and East parts of Austin.
We LOVED walking right to Lady Bird Lake Trail and couldn't believe how close it was.
Only issue I'd like to raise is, that the TV was a bit difficult to figure out. I think the remote's batteries died and we didn't find AAA batteries in the place, so had to manually click the TV to change channels. Not a huge bummer, but I thought I'd flag it for the owner!
The communication from the hosts was exceptional. Thank you!

We really enjoyed the privacy and laid back feel during our stay at the guest cabin. The bed was comfy too!
Also loved that it was a short walk from the trails at Lady Bird Lake.

This may be a small cabin but it is laid out very well. Full sized bathroom with washer/dryer, very comfortable king bed, and nice kitchen. Don't shy away from the fact that it is in the back of the owners property. We stayed 4 days and we didn't see the owner once. It was like we had the place to ourselves. It felt very private. We would recommend this place to anyone. A+
