      The Very Best of Austin Hospitality! MomInBlack Cuyahoga Falls, OH USA Review Submitted: January 21, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009 Being a former resident of Austin for 17 years, I can tell you from experience that this vacation rental offers the very best of Austin hospitatliy and style! If you want to have an authentic "Austin Experience" this homey and comfortable cottage is the place to be. As far as ammenties, you will find nothing lacking. I think I spent as much time on the deck as in the house, soaking up the sun and admiring the view, while drinking a cup of excellent coffee. In the evening, with a warm fire in the chiminea, and a cold Shiner beer, the deck was the perfect way to kick back and relax and at the end of the day. If you are a "linen snob", this is the place for you. Excellent beds and bedding, big fluffy towels, not your usual hotel fare when traveling. Oh, and the shower! Let's hear it for water pressure! And with the on demand water heater, no waiting for hot water to take a shower when your group is in a hurry to get out and see the sights. My thirteen year old daughter, a budding photographer, especially liked Stacy Park, and spent time there taking pictures. This house is a great place for shutterbugs, and kids of all ages. A friend visited with her dog, and they found the place totally pet friendly with the park across the street, and fenced in back yard. Here's a tip for those of us who like to shop, but don't like the "cookie cutter" clothing that you usually find at big box retailers, and malls. After a "wardrobe malfunction", my daughter and I made an emergency shopping trip to the boutiques in SoCo. While you would expect boutique clothes shopping in an arts district to be a pricey proposition, we found beautiful and unique clothes for suprisingly reasonable prices. As to be expected, all of the sales staffs in the shops of SoCo were attentive and friendly, which is typical of Austin. They turned an unplanned, (and potentially stressed out), last minute shopping trip into a pleasant experience. A big "Thank You So Very Much" to Sandy, she is awesome. You will find that you are at want for nothing during your stay in this house, as she is so personable, prompt, and attentive. As many before me have stated in their reviews, we will be back to our "home away from home" in Austin for our next visit.

    • We loved this house! The house is very well equipped and the decks and view are fantastic. The location is great. We loved swimming in the nearby pool (in December!) and the kids loved the playgrounds. We will be back!

    • We loved our stay at this sweet little cottage. Though it is little, we were perfectly comfortable as a party of 3 adults and 2 children. Traveling with little ones (9 months and 3.5) can be challenging if the amenities are not accommodating. At this cottage it was perfect. We had three decks to run around on, a playground across the street and a beautiful park to walk through and all so close to South Congress. We throughly enjoyed our stay!

    • My buddy and I met for ACL 2008. Place was clean... Roomy for 2 and quiet in the evenings. The decks are great.

    • Sandy is the best landlady imaginable and that shows in this cozy, well- equiped, updated house. The furnishings are interesting, beds are especially comfy, expresso coffee maker is a much appreciated bonus (and a supply of excellent coffee), and everything is very clean. But, the reason I rented it was for the views and the location. I wasn't disappointed. Travis Heights is perfectly positioned for enjoying Austin and the surrounding Hill Country. I'd be happy to rent from Sandy and Glen again.

    • This house was GREAT! Well equipped, clean, and comfortable. It is in a good location with easy access for walking to the SoCo area. We even walked all the way to 6th St a few times. Sandy was very helpful and not only made us feel at home but helped us find the best grocery store, pizza joint, and Mexican food. The home is loaded with maps, local fliers, and guide books about Austin. The neighborhood is very quite and has easy access to both the downtown area and the freeway. I would defiantly recommend this home for those wanting to be close to the action but not right in the middle of it.

    • I rented this house for my daughter-in-law & grandchildren (2 1/2 and 4 1/2) for 2 weeks. They really enjoyed the geothermal pool across the street as well as the playground. Location is great. House is fine. Owner is responsive. I definitely recommend it. I live in Austin and am a big fan of So. Austin and this neighborhood. Big kudos.

    • We loved staying at this cottage on the hill. It was very well equipped, comfortable, and fun to be close to all the activity in the SoCo area. Sandy was very professional with all her dealings related to the rental, and we felt very comfortable doing business with her.

    • Thanks, Sandy, for allowing us to stay in your lovely "cottage" with our little toy poodle Emma. It was perfect for us and we loved being close to the park and all the activity on SoCo. It makes us miss living in Austin. We will definitely stay again. Skip and Pam Smith
