The property was wonderful. The hosts have devoted much time and effort to providing thoughtful touches throughout. It was perfect for our needs, a two-day stay near downtown. It would be equally well-suited for a longer stay as a base from which to explore Austin. The patio with a pecan canopy was a delightful way to close out our first evening there.

Austin getaway
I enjoyed being able to walk all over the city. It was especially nice to have a parking spot at the property. Text responses prior to the trip and during the trip were swift and supportive. Very nice experience for a solo female traveler!

State Capitol area country cabana
Property was a cozy, comfortable suite within a few blocks of the Texas state Capitol building. Not a lot of space but plenty for a couple & efficiently used to pack in a generous supply of amenities (TV with streaming services, fridge, microwave, coffee maker & wonderful selection of books & guides to local services). The original floors & cabinetry were beautifully restored to give it a real homey feel.

Great Stay Downtown!!
Amazing stay in downtown Austin! My best friend and I came in for a fun weekend away and thoroughly enjoyed our time at Ted + Janelle’s place. The historic cottage was perfect as a launchpad for our stay and provided more than enough access to the downtown corridor. Not only was the cottage clean, but the accommodations were a great respite from the busy pace of downtown!! We look forward to staying again soon!
