Cherrywood is by far one of Austin's most loved neighborhoods. All of the houses were built in the 30's through the 50's and have been lovingly maintained through the years. Each block is different, so it's super fun to take long walks in the neighborhood. Plus there are loads of fun restaurants, coffee shops, and taco places within walking distance of this house.

This neighborhood is situated just a few blocks from the north side of the University of Texas campus, so it's perfect for stays that include a visit to UT or a concert at the Moody Theatre. In a 4 minute uber ride, you are downtown with tons of nightlife and entertainment options.

This unit includes one off street parking spot behind the house. If you have more than one car, there is plenty of free street parking in front of the house. We recommend walking and taking Ubers as much as possible though beaus this house is super central and in an area that is easy to navigate without a car.

This rental is perfect for UT games, concerts at the Moody Theatre, local music festivals, and anything happening downtown. This is one of the closest neighborhoods to downtown Austin.
We don't have a ton of rules for this house. We just ask that guests wash their own dishes and take out their trash before checking out. Check out is at 11am.

No smoking of any kind including cannabis is allowed inside. There is a chair on the front patio with ash trays for outdoor smoking.

Cozy and quiet
Loved the fuzzy rug in the bedroom. Place was full of livable charm and unique decor that made it feel personal and taken care of. Very quiet and serene space to spend a few days. Would've stayed longer if schedule and budget permitted. Only improvements would've been more workable kitchen and drying racks/hooks for towels in the bathroom. An easy fix so guests don't need to hang wet towels on doors, cupboards or chairs. Pans were also quite worn and I wasn't comfortable cooking with due to chipping. Drying rack for dishes also needed badly, but a quick fix. We used the hand towel to place clean dishes on.

About the host

Hosted by Moya McIntyre

Host profile image
I run a local event venue and art gallery as well as manage several vacation rental rentals. I love Austin and have lived here since 1994. I'm married to my sweetheart, Colin, who happens to be an amazing craftsman who is willing and able to build cool things for our houses and keep everything in tip top shape. We have four children, ages 20, 17, 13 and 3, so needless to say, we stay pretty busy!

Why they chose this property
