Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2006
A few years ago my husband and I were looking for a business that we would enjoy when we decided to retire. We started with one vacation rental property in 2007, and we now have 4 properties and manage a fifth. The best part of this business is the variety of guests that we have hosted. Our goal is to offer a uniquely Austin experience in a wonderfully inviting home environment. With our retirement plans still on the horizon, we could not be happier with our choice to offer ourselves as your hosts.

Great family house!

Six adult family members + 1 baby stayed in this house for a week. We were in Austin for our son's wedding. The accommodations were very nice, rooms as described on this site. We were concerned about where the baby would sleep, since this was her first trip away from home. We ended up putting the crib in the master bath. It has a pocket door so we could block her off. It worked out perfectly, and she slept well. Love the big shower in the master bath! Allandale is a great neighborhood, with good access to everything! Enjoyed the outside deck area - good family gathering spot. Made burgers & dogs on the grill. House worked great too for bridesmaids' quarters the day of the wedding. Took baby to the park across the street. Highchair came in handy too. All in all, a fantastic week in our favorite Texas city! Would rent again. . .
Owner response:Hello, folks. I hope you had a safe return. I never would have thought that the master bath would also sub for a baby's room, but, it worked great and thanks for the idea! I'm so glad that you enjoyed Allandale and had the experience of living as an Austinite for the week. I know how much planning went into the wedding and it was so nice to share this memorable event with you. Take care, please come again.

My husband and I stayed for two weeks in July while visiting our daughter in Austin. We were very pleased with the house and enjoyed reading on the sun porch and grilling out back. The neighborhood is excellent for walking and running,and the house is very close to a park. The logistics of the rental was also very smooth -- excellent communication throughout the experience. The location is ideal for easy access to Austin. We would definitely stay at Hill House again.
Owner response:Jean, good to hear from you. We enjoyed having you su much. I'm so glad it was a great stay and that everyone enjoyed Austin. Please call us again!

My daughter and granddaughter were visiting here from Florida, and we had a wonderful reunion in your lovely home. It was great to have so much space, and we especially loved the screened porch with the fountain--very relaxing! It was great having the park so near for my granddaughter, but she also had a wonderful time playing in the backyard. Thanks for everything you did to make our stay so comfortable; we didn't lack a thing!

The house being in a central location first caught our eye, but the fact that it was beautiful, immaculate and oh so very comfortable just made it a no-brainer! I would recommend it to any & to all.

We stayed in the house for a week with our toddler and I really can't say enough good things. The location is perfect: in a great neighborhood convenient to downtown, but very quiet. It was very kid/runner friendly: across from a big park with playgrounds. But it was also sumptuous, perfect for a couple and very dinner-party friendly. All around great!

Thanks Cindy! We shared this house with family from SF, CA, Ann Arbor, MI and Oxford, CN gathering together to celebrate a great wedding. The neighborhood was clean, pretty, convenient, safe. The house was easy to enjoy and share. We had a great time getting together and sharing memories and laughs in the open space and kitchen.
