Being frequent VRBO renters, we know what we want- Clean, safe, user-friendly properties with solid Wifi. Rachel had all the bases covered. We stayed in her Ranch house the first night before moving to the cottage and both were renovated and decorated with style and thought. Furthermore, she took the extra step to use Mac AirPort Extremes in both properties for bomb-proof Wifi. She was in good communication with us the entire stay, and when my wife left some sentimental jewelry behind, she secured it and sent it back to us. Overall, a wonderful experience and we would definitely rent again from Rachel!Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+.

What a wonderful house, the only word that describes it is charming. It was a comfortable place to hang our hats for a few days. The deck area was a huge hit, we enjoyed the fish pond and the finch aviary with the sweet little birds. It was so easy to walk to the Hyde Park Bar & Grill and Mother's Cafe for our meals out . . . great location! The Hancock Guest Cottage provided us a wonderful vacation and we will surely be back!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+.

Sept. 20-25, 2008 What a wonderful stay! A quaint, comfortable cottage. We were referring to it as out "home" the first day. The accommodations and amenities exceeded our expectations. The weather was super, 65-75 degrees every day and sunny. (In Minneapolis it was closer to 0 - 20 degrees.) Rachel and Nick were excellent hosts and did a marvelous job of preparing the cottage for guests. We felt like royalty. Thanks Nick and Rachel - you have done a great job!

My husband (US) and I (Belgium) wanted to do something different for Valentine, so we decided to have a romantic weekend in the Hancock Cottage. That sure beat sleeping in our truck camper (in which we are travelling around the States)! What a splurge and oh-so-worth it! The location was great, with ample parking space, and the cottage gave us a very homey and roomy feeling. We wish we could have stayed longer, but it was time to move on again. We would recommend the Hancock Guest Cottage to anyone wanting to stay in the Austin area and not wanting to book the typical hotel room.Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway.

I used to live in Austin in the Hyde Park neighborhood (the best neighborhood in Austin in my experience). When I visited Austin with two of my friends who had never been there, I wanted to find something that would feel just like living in Austin feels. And I found it at this inn. This place is a sweet older house that has been beautifully converted to a guest house. It's a great combination of old and new - the old is the classic house style and the stone on the outside (that you see all over Austin) and the new is the beautifully designed interior that had everything we needed in addition to the very comfortable, stylish bedroom (a kitchen, sitting areas, great bathroom). The house is very close to the UT campus and central Austin. The house would be really fun with a group of friends because of the shared kitchen and the sitting areas inside and outside (we're thinking about coming here with friends for SXSW). I can't imagine a better place to stay if you want something special and comfortable and the opposite of a stuffy, generic hotel room.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+.

If it were not for the poor mattress in one of the bedrooms (a good night sleep is so important”) and the furniture in the living room being a bit small and uncomfortable, I would have been totally thrilled with the cottage. Other than these two complaints, the cottage is absolutely wonderful and I would highly recommend it. The place is wonderfully appointed in everything you could possible need. Huge flat screen TV! Both bath rooms were appointed very well and featured great showers with strong water pressure and lots of hot water. The owners have tried to think of everything (including fresh flowers). You will find books, travel guides, movies and even an antique sewing machine to keep you amused. It works well with a group of people (terrific kitchen) as it has been opened up to flow very well. The deck and back yard is an added bonus only to be outdone by the incredible location. Within easy walking distance to a 24-hour gym, grocery store, coffee house, bank, bus stop, barbershop, liquor store, department store, Radio Shack and I could go on! This place is a charmer!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers.
