Great Property
Our family of three had an excellent stay. The multiple outdoor patio/balcony areas were great for relaxing after busy days in the sun. Owner was quick to respond and check in/out were a breeze. The location is fantastic for accessing zilker park and barton springs. The neighborhood is quiet.

Great little duplex, and from what I saw was the nicest areas of Austin. Very nice little private patio looking out to the creek. Enjoyed having coffee there in the morning. Very nicely taken care of home and great communication from the host.

Made for a great Holiday season
Really enjoyed our time at Zilker Retreat, great weather enabled us to fully explore Zilker Park and downtown Austin. Whether walking or biking, our location was central to a lot of activites. Would recomend this property to anyone looking to enjoy Austin in a quiet, relaxing location. Thanks Scott and Sally.

Great location and great property!
The place was great, plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The three outdoor spaces were a nice addition. Location was great very quiet, a quick walk to Barton Springs, walkable to some restaurants (under a mile) and only about 1.5 miles to down town. We walked along the river to SOCO once and from downtown, once with no problems. We used uber which was a quick 5-10 minute ride downtown. Beds were very comfortable as well as sofas in the living room., the kitchen and laundry was convenient and a plus. The small grocery store only 3-blocks away is convenient with larger stores within 2 miles. We had a good rain storm and got to watch the creek flow at full force right outside the outdoor patio. Overall great place to stay, we would definitely stay there again of we go back to Austin. Highly recommend it!

Close to everything fun in South Austin
This is a cozy home with two outdoor porches to enjoy the cool weather. Lots of birds singing by the creek next to you. Very private with no shared walls with the other unit. Has everything you need to be comfortable. Quick response always from the host. Loved being in the middle of all fun things in south Austin!

Great Location
Great location for a weekend visit to Austin. It was very easy to get to downtown Austin. The 2nd floor balcony in the master bedroom was a nice touch as was the complimentary bottle of wine. Would definitely stay there again.

Pleasant home
Pleasant home in a great, quiet neighborhood near lots of great outdoor things to do (hiking, swimming), with easy access to the city. We appreciate the effort of the homeowners made in providing supplies that you normally do not bring with you, something more Vrbo owners should aspire to. The unit was clean and the living space was comfortable. We suggest the homeowners put in a new fan in the upstairs bathroom (it did not work and we had to deal with hot,steamy conditions). Also, we ran out of hot water on one occasion. Future renters should know that the friendliest cat we have ever met will greet you at all times of the day and night. This place, and the owners' caring touches, make the property worthwhile to rent.

An ideal location that is close to Zilker Park, downtown, and SOCO.
This rental is close to everything that is happening close to downtown Austin. It is at the end of a quiet cul de sac and we felt safe walking to Zilker Park and the neighborhood convenience store. It is a short app $10 Uber ride to downtown. The main bed was comfortable (did not try others). Unit was clean and Sally made the rental process very smooth. We would stay here again due to the location alone. The rental is a little dated and would benefit from some updating. Outside areas could be cleaner with better furniture. We wanted to be outside due to the peaceful creek side location but outdoor areas were not very clean or inviting.

Quiet, clean, nice outdoor spaces
Quiet little cul-de-sac street with a tiny stream in the back. I would come home late and it was very safe, easy parking in the driveway. My only complaint is the A/C kept kicking on and making me wake up (sleeping in a strange place is hard). Nice to have 2 sinks and a separate bathroom & closet area. Outdoor seating areas were relaxing. Wish I had a chance to enjoy the wine Sally left!
