Great cottage and wonderful stay

I stayed at the Gallery House over Thanksgiving and it was just perfect. The owners of this property have thought of everything. It is bright, comfortable and very attractive. I am booking it again for January and March. Rice and Pam are the perfect hosts.

Loved it! Already booked it for my next visit.

This is a wonderful modern studio apartment in a great location! The studio is brand new, thoughtfully designed, wonderfully maintained and well stocked! The central location is great too - close to UT campus and lots of restaurants, music and shopping. And the owners are accommodating and unobtrusive in a separate building on the property. I had a great stay here. I highly recommend.

Great place-close to UT!

We stayed here for a UT football weekend. The location was within a 15 minute walk to the campus. The neighborhood was very nice, and enjoyable for runners or walkers. The property was immaculate and very well designed. The kitchen had everything that you would need to cook, but why bother with so many great restaurants in the area. The owners were very friendly and helpful. They filled the property with interesting books, magazines and art-which made it feel like a true getaway! We will stay here again!

Modern, well-designed, spacious studio.

What a handsome, well-designed place to stay in Austin. This is the 1st VRBO I've rented that is even better than its photos show! The Murphy bed is easy to use & very comfortable. The shower is huge & beautiful. The kitchen was well supplied, & the little balcony was a bonus. You'll need a car or bike to get around town, & you'll need to be able to walk up the stairway to get to the living space. Rice and Pam were great hosts who live right next door in a separate house.

I can't say enough about this darling rental!

The owners, Rice and Amy have done a great job on this rental! They have thought of everything a traveler might need and more. It was my husband and I and we had plenty of space. Having the bathroom sink outside the shower/toilet area was so convenient. The bed was great and such a cool idea being able to be tucked away during the day, yet the curtain provided privacy from the rest of the apartment if you needed it to. For a small space, we never stumbled over each other, even when there were four of us there. We enjoyed the balcony during the day as well as in the evening. The location was very convenient for us as it was close to where our son lives. We are eager to stay again on our return trip next March! Thanks again, Chip and Laura

Pam and I really enjoyed hosting you both as well. Thanks for being such thoughtful and tidy guests, very much appreciated. Come back soon... the apartment just had several nice upgrades... sheets, new clothes rods in the wardrobe, and HBO NOW to go with the gigabit Internet.

Lovely Modern Studio Stay

My husband and I stayed in this modern, cozy studio for 6 days of vacation in December. The accommodations and Rice’s hospitality definitely provided for a wonderful first visit to Austin! We’ve used vrbo on several occasions in the past, but Rice’s communication skills, sincere excitement for Austin, and incredibly thoughtful set-up out-shined our past experiences. The studio itself had excellent amenities such as a comfortable Murphy bed, heated bathroom, covered parking, wifi, and Netflix just to name a few. Rice also has TWO binders full of places to visit while in Austin, not to mention great suggestions for restaurants if you ask. We took his advice and walked to a nearby Tex-Mex restaurant, Trudy’s, and enjoyed some delicious fajitas and margaritas. The central location of the studio facilitates walking/biking/driving to most any Austin activities we had planned. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone thinking about visiting Austin. I know we’ll be staying there the next time we return!

Hi Tech, proximate, and full of amenities

The title sums it up. The apartment is full of technology of every variety. I know Rice does a great job giving a rundown for the equipment. The apartment itself is pristine without a single spot or blemish... anywhere. I would have enjoyed getting some rain because the A-Frame roof would make things fun. It is also a very green apartment with energy savings throughout. I have no hesitation in recommending this apartment and plan to make this property my go-to location whenever Krystal and I are in town. Very nice.

Very clean and comfortable gallery house.

The appartment was very comfortable. I and my wife especially liked the balcony. Everything was so clean. Pam and Rice were very helpful in getting us oriented in Austin of 2018 and also with the latest technology for the technologically-challenged which we are! I really love the climate in Austin, hot and dry. And the air-conditioning in the appartment gave us sufficient respite. The bed and convertible sofa were very comfortable, especially for my wife who was already suffering from a broken rib when we arrived at gallery house. The rest and repose at the gallery house and the climate in Austin did her wonders. The appartment is so well-situated, only a few blocks from the university and about a half mile at the most from a really great supermarket. We're looking forward to renting this appartment again next year.

They Thought of Everything!

My daughter and I needed a place to stay during the 2nd weekend of Austin City Limits music festival, and were lucky enough to come across this gem of a home. The owners, Rice and Pam, are extremely nice people--accommodating, communicative, and welcoming. They provided every comfort of home plus more. On Sunday it was forecasted to rain, so Pam brought over ponchos for my daughter and I to take along, they provided mats to take with us for sitting, umbrellas, etc. This is the most well-appointed HomeAway rental we've ever had the opportunity to stay in. We will be back!

A Guesthouse Most Spectacular

This was our second time to stay at the Carriage House, and it was every bit as good as the first, and then some. So long as the gods continue to smile upon us, this is the only place we will stay when traveling to Austin. Rice is everything we look for in a host. Accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable, yet not overbearing or intruding. The location is solid and safe. If the traveler be Goldilocks, Rice and his Carriage House are the perfect bowl of porridge, the perfect sized bed, the perfectly comfortable bear house. What I'm getting at is that everything about our stay was perfect. Stay at the Carriage House. You'll be glad you did.

Thanks Daron, I hope you can be successful at getting HomeAway/VRBO to swap the word "Carriage House" for "Gallery House" and get it updated. Kind words are always appreciated, and we love having guests such as yourselves who enjoy the space. Best regards, Rice

Perfect Quiet Space

Stayed here while visiting my daughter this past weekend. It was just what I wanted for a stay on my own. I felt perfectly safe and relaxed. Quiet street within walking distance of a park and some restaurants. Apt is as stated. I especially appreciated a couple of small items; a magnifying mirror and make-up remover wipes (which I forgot). I imagine that thanks goes to Pam. I appreciated the quiet and restful time I spent reading or sitting on that balcony. I even learned to appreciate Alexa. Lots of windows, books and art to enjoy. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

So much in such a little space!

I stayed here for 2 weeks and loved every minute of it. Rice has thought of everything, and utilized the small space very well. The bed is extremely comfortable, the shower has great water pressure and the kitchen has anything you could need. The porch is perfect for a morning cup of coffee. Rice is extremely attentive- if you have any questions about where to eat or what to do, he can tell you or you can read all about it in a binder he has collated. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Excellent

This was a surprise. A very nice space with an air conditioner, kitchen area, a flat screen tv and a nice sofa. Includes a library of popular fiction, southwestern history, and books of art and photography. The walls are adorned with really nice photographic art that was made by Rice, which is for sale. It must have been laid-out by an interior designer because I experienced it as being divided into thirds. Two people could easily live in the place and each would feel as if he has enough personal space. So, as a temporary living space, it's perfect. If you dislike hotels no matter how luxurious, this is the place to stay when in Austin

We enjoyed having you Kenley, come back anytime. Pam and I designed the interior of the apartment. I have traveled pretty extensively and know what creature comforts make a stay memorable in my mind. I am glad you share the same vision.

Cozy and Clean

This is a great place to stay if you are looking for a home away (pun intended) from home. Rice will regularly come and refresh the apartment for you if you are there for an extended period like I was, towels, washcloths, trash/recycling. The space is cozy and there is everything you need. It is very clean and well maintained.

Over the Top Review - A Six Star Review

This VRBO lacked for nothing right down to the tiniest detail!! Some of the outstanding features were the Murphy bed, the bathroom shower, the kitchen appliances, and the overall cleanliness. We appreciated the off street parking. The university, shopping and restaurants were all within walking distance. Our hosts were welcoming, generous and helpful. We loved the books. We would highly recommend this property to our friends. If available, we intend to stay here during all our future visits to Austin.

Outstanding Accommodations

My wife and I spent 3 nights at Rice and Pam's apartment as a short vacation in advance of a conference my wife was attending at the University of Texas. The attention to detail throughout the apartment in design, amenities and cleanliness was excellent. It was a great place to relax and recharge after activities around the university campus and city of Austin. We made very few plans in advance of our trip and found the 3 inch, 3 ring binder full of maps, transit information, restaurant reviews and local activities to be well organized, current and extremely helpful. The local newspaper that arrived at our door each morning was also a nice touch. We have stayed in a number of HomeAway/VRBO rentals in a variety of locations over the years and this was by far the best. If I could have changed only one thing, I would have made our stay a little longer!!
