Cozy cottage in Austin

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Stacy's home/cottage. The property is extremely well kept, very clean, nice appliances, and many personal touches. The private patio was also very pleasant. We were close to a couple of restaurants and great bbq. Stacy was a great host and very responsive before and during our stay. We would highly recommend her and this property. We would stay again if in the area.

What a lovely home! Probably the cleanest VRBO we’ve ever stayed in! Stacy has thought of every detail to make it feel comfortable and like home. Convenient location and, just a short drive to downtown and So Congress. Some restaurants and beer gardens were walking distance.

Very clean. Very comfortable

My wife and I stayed in Stacy’s place and couldn’t have been more comfortable. Upon entering, we noticed a hand written personalized note with a complimentary bottle of wine for us. The comfort and accommodations were convenient and never ending. All the way up the the built in Bluetooth speakers in the bathroom upstairs 👌🏼 The neighborhood was quiet which made hanging out in the backyard very peaceful at night. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to everyone.

Great house!

Everything was wonderful about this house. Very clean and decorated so cute! Perfect for my husband and me. It was our anniversary and Stacy had fresh flowers and wine for us. It was so thoughtful! Any time we had a question she was quick to respond. The neighborhood is eclectic and diverse. Great Mexican restaurant up the street within walking distance. Very close to all the places we were wanting to visit.

Definitely returning !

This property was clean, neat and such a good fit for a small group. The decorations were so cute. Everything was easily accessible as noted. The host went above and beyond. She sent very detailed messages, left a bottle of wine for my birthday and many other goodies. Sixth street was close. Many other good places were accessible. Everything was so nice. I’m definitely returning.

Best Austin Spot!

Stacy’s place was exactly as pictured - clean, adorable, and had everything you could possibly need. She was extremely communicative and available if we needed anything. I had forgotten to pack lotion and almost walked to target but checked under the bathroom sink just in case, and sure enough, Stacy had EVERYTHING there for her guests. If only every VRBO host was this thoughtful! It was an absolute pleasure staying at Stacy’s place. If we come back to Austin we will be sure to check if her place is available before going anywhere else.

perfect in every way

Like other reviewers, we can't give Stacy enough compliments. She is supremely thoughtful, tremendously detailed, attentive, gracious, creative, helpful and positive. The property is fantastic. It has a very functional and comfortable floor plan. The furniture layout is sensible, and the decor is fun and attractive. Everything just works. Stacy has obviously thought deeply about her guests' entertainment, comfort and pleasure. It's a new house, and the craftsmanship is evident everywhere. The location is absolutely unbeatable. You're able to walk to some of Austin's best and coolest restaurants and bars, or stroll along the iconic lake a block away. We were there to see our new granddaughter, and when health complications arose toward the end of our stay, Stacy graciously allowed us to book an extra day. Life isn't always easy, but Carla's Cottage was perfect for our Christmas week. We will, of course, be back.

Super clean and well-stocked with amenities

Beautiful small house with nice private outdoor space. Very comfortable bed and sparkling clean, with a well-stocked kitchen and generous amenities, and off-street parking. Only drawback was the noise (traffic, the procession to la Barbecue, and horrible loud amplified live music on Saturday which went from 3 p.m. to past midnight), which was to be expected given the location.

And with in walking distance or quick Uber ride to hundreds of restaurants/bars/breweries.
