This Austin chateau is the perfect blend of charming and modern—top notch! It is nestled in a quiet, woodsy neighborhood, still super close to a quick drive into the hustle and bustle of downtown. The outstanding reviews and gorgeous pictures are spot on! Darlene is an incredible host—I was with my extended family (with our niece and nephew), and everyone was over the moon noshing on the yummy cookies that Darlene provided as a check-in welcome. Darlene also provides a binder at the house to help orient guests. We decided to take her advice and “live like a local.” We ran to Whole Foods, picked up groceries, and made a home cooked meal (eating outside on the fabulous patio, warming up by the fireplace). The house is perfectly aged with character and has all of the modern upgrades/conveniences (streaming TV, google home, etc). Highly recommend!
