Wonderful stay with family

We stayed at this property for a conference my wife was attending on the UT campus. It was a short drive to the campus every day.The house was clean, had a nice kitchen with great appliances (gas stove!), and slept four of us and a baby (in his own room) comfortably.The host was excellent, responded directly to a couple questions we had about the property during our stay, and helped us plan ahead for staying there with baby.The pool was wonderful (heated), and the property suited our needs well.

About the host

Hosted by Korey

Host profile image
We're Cate and Korey—Austin locals, parents, and passionate hosts who believe every trip should feel special.

We fell in love with East Austin years ago and now call this neighborhood home. When we're not hosting, you'll find us exploring new restaurants, catching live music, or walking the Town Lake trails with our kids. We know this city inside and out, and we love sharing our favorite spots with guests.

Hosting isn't just a side project for us—it's personal. We've thought through every detail, from the coffee waiting in your kitchen to the plush mattresses you'll sleep on. We want you to feel at home the moment you walk in, whether you're here for a weekend getaway, a work trip, or a big Austin event.

We respond within an hour and are always happy to share recommendations or help with anything you need. Your experience matters to us—before, during, and after your stay.

Welcome to Austin. We can't wait to host you!
