We used to live in Austin and found the house convenient to all the places we wanted to go back and visit. There was plenty of room and we loved the outdoor space. It was very clean and had everything we needed for cooking. The neighborhood was great for taking walks. We highly recommend this house!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

I stayed here for about 10 days and LOVED the suite, the location and Rachel and Nick bent over backwards to meet my needs and requests, and offered more than was advertised. Hope to stay here again. This would not be good with kids, only 2 people who want to share the very comfy bed will fit, but it was a perfect place for me this month!Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway.

Thank you so much, Nick and Rachel, for opening your home to us. After seeing your website, we were prepared for a very comfortable stay, but we were pleasantly suprised that your home had all the luxuries of home plus so much more! The kids loved watching their favorite videos on the ginormous TV, and we loved the open living/kitchen area. There was plenty of room for everyone, and the walk-in closets were an added bonus! The master bath shower with the dual shower heads was absolutely amazing (now we'll have to renovate our own, hehe)! The home was immaculate, roomy, with an interesting eclectic decor. We visited the Austin Children's Museum (mentioned their "open door access" for free admission), and ate at the Burger House (fantastic food at a great price)! The kitchen was very well equipped, and we were able to make enchildadas, rice, and beans using your cookware. What a joy to be able to relax and look out the back door to watch the children play in the fenced in yard, with no worries for their safety. We were even able to put your iron and ironing board to good use to ensure we looked our best for church on Sunday! We highly recommend your home for anyone visiting the Austin area--so much better than a hotel, and even better than home!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Although a bit off the beaten track, Hancock Guest Nest was a lovely place to stay. My daughter and I stayed this past August while we checked out UT(Austin). The location is convenient to the local highway which took us where ever we wanted to go. We stayed in the studio unit, that had a kitchen,bed, desk, and laundry room. The decor is modern but warm. There were guide books, local magazines and videos to enjoy. There is a wonderful front yard area with a fountain that is very peaceful. Our host Nick was gracious and even offered to take us on a tour of the college. Ifyou want a different experience from the normal chain hotel room this is the answer. I highly recommend the guest cottage and if I'm lucky enough to get to Austin again I would want to stay here. I liked the decor. It felt like a modern studio apt. and also the front yard. I wish there were a table to eat at.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

I just wanted to let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay in your beautiful home. We were very impressed with the helpful travel guides, the Texas Monthly magazine--don't know if you leave that for everyone, and the overall cleanliness and decor of your home. We also appreciated your list of nearby restaurant recommendations. We ate at Manuel's Mexican, just a mile north and found it to be good TexMex. We worked on the puzzle you left and enjoyed the fast WiFi. Probably our favorite thing to do in the Austin area was rent kayaks on Ladybird Lake. What an adventure! We also enjoyed a hike up Mount Bonnell. It was a very memorable vacation. Thank you again.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers.

Our recent visit to Austin was quite memorable and enjoyable. The weather was perfect! The Hancock Ranch House has a box of literature with ideas for fun activity planning. The beds are extremely comfortable with plenty of soft pillows and quality cotton linens. The kitchen is fully equipped. The location is convenient to the downtown and university areas. We enjoyed all the nearby restaurants and coffee shops. Super open floor plan for relaxing, dining, TV watching, and reading. The house was absolutely fantastic. We enjoyed everything about it, and this would be our first choice on our next trip to Austin.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway.
