We had a wonderful experience in this sweet Bouldin bungalow. It had everything we needed - a kitchen stocked with every supply you could need, clean linens, comfortable beds and two private outdoor spaces to relax and unwind. We would absolutely stay here again!
Cute little pet-friendly stay close to a park and walkable to tons of fun things in ATX! We enjoyed our weekend getaway could see spending even longer next time :)
A very comfortable and cute house in a soulful neighbourhood. Enough space, appropriate amenities and a lot of character. Lots of cute little places within walking distance.
Went for a short period of time. Great location for the area that we were in and easy check in process. We also loved the outdoor area for our dogs to enjoy as well. Would definitely stay there again.
Loved our stay at this house. Very clean, every thing in order, excellent communication with the host. Will definitely consider staying here again.
Highly recommended!
Staying in this Bouldin cottage was a delight. The house was immaculate. The neighborhood is full of old Austin charm meets gorgeous modern architecture. There is a little park and creek side trail across the street perfect for dog walking. The house was really quiet, beds comfy, kitchen well equipped. I hope to stay there again soon.

Great Austin Cottage
What an amazing location near the Austin Food & Wine Festival! Beautiful neighborhood and a scenic walk to the festival less than a mile away. Home was comfortable and the owners thought of all the little details that set this rental apart from competition. Immaculately cleaned. Comfortable. Contemporary decor. We will be back to explore downtown and will definitely stay here!
Cute compact home in great neighborhood. Easy access to downtown and surrounding area. Hosts respond quickly if or when needed. Would stay at this location again on a return trip to Austin.
Was exactly as they depicted. Great walkable area. Inviting house and great for young ones.
We were in town visiting friends. They catered to our 18th month old and even supplied a high chair, clean and new. Beds and couch were comfortable. Good pillows. Quiet neighborhood with walkable attractions. Ate Pulvos fajitas on the front patio and waved at the neighbors walking by. Had streaming access and a sufficient TV. Good AC. Communicated sufficiently on all fronts.
We were able to walk to South Congress, a short LIFT to West 6th Street, short LIFT to Rainey Street, a day trip to the Texas Hill Country, and a day trip to San Antonio. A good walk to the South Congress bridge to watch the bats fly out. Easy to find, and neighborhood was safe and easy in and out.
Great owner, great location right near great food spots, outside of the city noise, right near Barton Springs, easy Uber to 6th Street. I’d definitely stay again.
This is a lovely property very clean quiet and safe. Neighborhood is great and a park is close by. Food trucks close by as well. We had a great visit and can’t wait to come back. Management was very responsive and close by
Great location, walk to coffee, breakfast, convenience store.
Clean, well appointed. Great owners!!

A perfect house for a winter stay
This is the fourth winter we have stayed in this house for a month, and as usual it was perfect. The house itself is clean, comfortable, and well equipped for an extended stay. The location is great also. We could walk to South Congress, Lady Bird Lake and downtown. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. I would recommend this house to anyone visiting Austin.

Quiet, cozy retreat.
We loved our recent stay. The home is in a quiet, charming neighborhood, yet close enough to walk to neighborhood markets, shops, and food trailers/trucks. For further jaunts, we called on a Lyft, which was never more than four minutes away. The house was clean, and includes a washer/dryer. The kitchen came with all the amenities, including coffee, tea, and condiments in the fridge. We will be back to sample more of the food and music in Austin!

Amazing location with all the charm of Austin
With Bouldin Creek at your doorstep (literally), a short walk along a tree-lined trail takes you to First St. and some of Austin's best restaurants (Fresa's, Elizabeth St Cafe., and more). It's also an easy walk down to Auditorium Shores and Town Lake (Lady Bird Lake, if you like). The house is darling and Carole and Kerry were the most gracious, thoughtful hosts who went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and easy. Beds were very comfortable and the kitchen is fully stocked. I recommend this property to families, friends traveling together, and anyone who wants to experience the best that Austin has to offer.

Flawless home and location!
The second I opened the front door, I knew we had selected the right property. The place was spotless and had the most gorgeous hardwood floors. The decor was modern and simplistic and the updates to the house were impressive. The backyard was perfect for our spoiled dog, as was the park directly across from the house. We were able to walk to everything in the SoCo district. Such a fun time in Austin with a quaint place to rest our weary heads at night.

Super cute house, Fantastic Location
This location has everything you need for a stay in Austin. The kitchen was well appointed, the beds were comfortable, the electronics all worked well, water pressure in the shower was good and all in a well decorated and super clean package. The owner truly has anticipated all needs and even accommodated a couple that weren't standard (as we were traveling with our baby). The neighborhood is quiet yet is very close (walkable) to a lot of things (food, entertainment, etc.). I plan to stay here again if/when we return. Thanks again, Carole!
