Cute House in Great Location
Very clean house just as pictured! Our flight showed up early and the hosts were very accommodating and let us check in early. The location of the house is easy to get around to any area of Austin!

Great location for experiencing all Austin has to offer
Austin is one of our favorite cities. We lived there in the 80s & again when I worked for Dell recently. While we’ve moved away we still love spending time here. We celebrated my October Birthday at the Plum Cottage. It was quiet & cozy & perfect location for getting around to all the Austin hot spots. Thanks Carole & Kerry!

Everything you need in a great neighborhood
Charming neighborhood close to great restaurants. The house had everything I needed. I just stayed for one night, but the house is set up for you to stay longer. Ample kitchen amenities included. The yard is a good size as well.

Charming Cottage
My husband was attending a conference in downtown Austin and the Plum Cottage was a perfect location. It was 15 min to downtown convention center, walking distance to little Zilker park and a short drive to Barton Springs and the Colorado River. We enjoyed stand up paddling several days and a Shakespeare play at the outdoor theater in Barton Springs park. Our fur babies were safe in the backyard for playtime and loved the space inside for relaxing. We had a blast. We will definitely be back and highly recommended the Plum Cottage and any of the other properties Kerry & Carole make available. They are amazing at maintaining this property and we have no doubt they do the same for the other rentals they manage. Can’t say enough about what excellent service and property was provided to us. Very clean, cozy and met all our needs.

About the host

Hosted by Carole and Kerry Price

Host profile image
We are Kerry and Carole Price and have been hosting out of town guests in Austin for over three years. Plum Cottage is our newest furnished rental home.
We have been married for over 28 years and have raised both of our children within a mile of this home and still live in the neighborhood. Kerry still has a day job in the packaging business and loves wooden boats. Carole manages the vacation rental properties and is a community volunteer with Hospice Austin.
We both found our way to Austin: Kerry from Minnesota and Carole from Glasgow Scotland. We met in South Austin in the mid 80's and have never left.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property several years ago and kept it as a long term rental property until converting it into a Short Term Furnished Vacation Rental opening in February of 2013. To make this conversion we have remolded starting at the wall studs and added a room to make a virtually new home.
The original home was built around 1950 and still has much of its old classic charm including the cut glass door handles and solid wood interior paneled doors and baseboards.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location. This section of Austin is one of the most sought after areas for people coming to Austin to live or play. Conveniently located near to most of Austin's major - and some off beat- attractions. Here you will find real Austinites both young and old.
