                                        Our stay was FANTASTIC!!! Thank you again so much - my family felt so comfortable and we enjoyed being together instead of strewn about in various hotel rooms! We spoke about renting it in the future when everyone comes to Austin again! The house was beautiful and had more than we needed. We really, really enjoyed our stay!

                                        Your home was a perfect place for our family to gather. Our son's wedding was wonderful, including a sunny, warm day. We came from North Carolina, Arizona, Massachusetts and New York to share your lovely home.

                                        This is our second time staying here. We were here in December 2012. Both times we all enjoyed our stay, felt like home. I will miss this place. This is a very comfortable home. We had plenty of room to relax. Thank you for having us.

                                      About the owner: Greetings Currents and Future Guests! I am a long time Austin resident and love to share the fun and beauty of Austin with others through my vacation home. Guests include travelers from all over -- England, Belgium, Germany, Mexico as well as families living right here in Austin. Come enjoy a weekend or a month stay. The home is especially popular with guests in town for an Austin-style wedding, working professionals on short-term work assignments, and weekend stays for football games, film and music festivals. I will be happy to provide you with recommendations for well-known Austin destinations as well as hidden favorites with Austin residents!

                                      Why the Owner Chose Private Homes:
                                      I bought this house because of the great floorplan for entertaining, the neighborhood amenities, the safety and quality of the neighborhood, as well as its great location relative to things to do in Austin.
