We absolutely loved our stay here. The host was really easy to work with and check-in and check-out were a breeze. This place has a ton of places to sleep but not everything is a private room, specifically the top floor loft.

Exceptional accommodations near South Congress and Zilker Park. The beds and linens were super comfortable with room for 6 teens and 6 adults. We loved the outdoor deck and used the gas grill for dinner. A serene setting under the beautiful live oak trees in the heart of Austin!

great location; a bit smaller than in photos

Great location and neighborhood. Really easy check in. Great yard with firepit / outdoor table area to hang out. Photos make it seem quite large; it felt much more cramped in person. One bedroom is on main floor across from living room (not much privacy). Other bedroom is on 2nd floor but there is no door to the room.

Girls Weekend

Our group stayed at The Stanley and we really enjoyed the location! We could walk to shops and restaurants. Plus there was plenty of space for 8 to gather and communication with the host was great. However, as we got further into our stay there were several cleanliness issues. One perk of this rental is plenty of dishes! But many had food caked on them in the cabinets. Along with utensils that were sticky and in the drawer. Several appliances have seen better days and don't work properly. We were looking forward to using the pool because it was HOT.. But it had not been cleaned out and the water was really stagnate. So we skipped it all together. A couple of friends stayed in the guest house which is on the rustic side and had mold on the shower walls. Overall the property is nice, but the house needs a bit of TLC for the price point.

Hi Jillian, thank you for your feedback! We are happy to hear you enjoyed the location. I’m sorry to hear about the dishes and utensils. We will relay this to our housekeeping team so they can be more vigilant while putting dishes away. Our pool is treated and cleaned every Tuesday. The above ground pools do not have a filtration system that can pull in debris from the surface so branches and debris sit at the bottom of the pool which is removed weekly by the pool tech. The pool water is safe to swim with or without debris. An above ground pool is the only option for The Stanley to protect the 350 - 450 year old oak trees that are on the property. Our mission is to roll out the red welcome mat for our guests and it's clear we missed the ball on your stay. We have refunded you for a portion of your stay with us. We hope to have the opportunity to host you in the future and show you what The Lodgewell experience is all about.

Greg's Guy Gathering

This place was awesome, and everything that we could ask for from our celebration of my Brother's Bachelor Party! The only reason I gave it a 4 on the cleanliness, was due to a dead roach that was in the lobby when we arrived. Otherwise, the home offered us everything we could ask for, plus the management team was very nice to work with! Made the whole process very each for us. Thank you! AS
