Arete Stay

This stay was such a treat. The hosts were very friendly and responsive to all questions. The property was fully furnished and had everything we needed and more! New and clean. Couldn't have asked for a bettery stay for a group of 7 in Austin, TX. Will definitely revisit when we go back to Austin.

Thoughtful hosts, quiet location

Bill and Rita clearly put some effort into making this place comfortable for guests. Everything was extremely clean, the kitchen had everything we needed, and there were board games and yard games for us to use. There's a greenway nearby with pretty good connections to local parks which I really appreciated for my morning trail runs. They have a low-stress check-in and check-out which worked well for our inconvenient flight schedule. Thanks Bill and Rita!

Great place... amazing stay!

It's a little oasis just south of downtown. Loved our stay here. My friends are already talking about a return trip. Very clean and well stocked. Hosts are great! Thanks again.

We couldn't have ask for more!!!

Everything was extraordinary! First of all, Arete Stay was immaculate, both inside and out. The home is situated in a gorgeous, quiet and safe area with grass and beautiful trees, a perfect place for grandbabies and pets to run without the fear of traffic. The parking is just steps from the huge and inviting front porch, complete with rocking chairs. Inside, we found everything we needed, including large, comfortable spaces/rooms, beds, dining areas, baths and closets, linens and even a Keurig with a great selection of pods. And again, it was all in pristine condition. We are so happy and blessed to have found Arete Stay, and we will certainly try to stay here again. Thanks for making our little adventure to Austin so enjoyable!

Perfect Getaway

I didn't get to meet Rita and her husband but my daughter and her husband said they were the amazing. We had a wonderful stay at there place. They had everything we needed to cook meals and they had a Keurig and coffee which was a plus for us. We came for ACL weekend and then drive was about a 15 minute drive. I wish we could have stayed and extra day to just relax and enjoy the house a bit more. We would definitely stay again if available.
