Great location

Great location, unfortunately the air conditioning didn’t work in one of the units and could not be fixed during our stay. It was warm and uncomfortable. The cabinets in the kitchen were very hard to open I needed some fixing and there was not a lot of places to put your clothing in a few of the rooms. But the area was very nice close to everything and a good place for Multiple families.

Excellent Large Group Home

Myself and my party of 12 were in town for a bachelor and this home was perfect. Extremely clean, plenty of towels and linens, and most importantly plenty of beds. We had plenty of room to spread out and get ready to go out every night. Sally is an amazing host and I highly recommend staying here.

Best Location in Austin!

Beautifully designed home. We stayed here with our large family for Thanksgiving. We loved the open area upstairs- so unique and all the big windows and the tree's that line the creek. The location can not be beat. It's close to everything and offers something for everyone, weather you are a exercise junkie or a food, beer or wine connoisseur you will be please with the location!

Perfect for our Group!

This was the perfect property for our group. We had 5 couples meeting up in Austin for a week of fun. The property was great, as you are really getting 2 houses for the price of 1. The late nighters took one house and those that wanted to get to bed early took the other house. It was so nice! The entire property is beautiful and comfortable, with many nice touches that made us feel right at home. The location is excellent and close to everything! Its a wonderful place to stay and enjoy Austin!

Perfect Weekend!

The house was AMAZING and ABSOLUTELY perfect for our weekend! We had a large group of 11 and the home never felt crowded or cramped, there was plenty of room and common space for everyone! We loved all of the private tree-lined balcony's and patios that backed up to a creek. Sally (The property owner) has great communication and answered all of our question for a very easy seamless arrival. The house is in such a great location! I would absolutely recommend this house and stay again!

Perfect Choice for Family or Friend Groups

We were very happy with the decor, cleanliness and location of the "Big Zilker" for a family get-together with all of us coming together from various states. Everyone commented on how nice the accommodations and amenities were. The bedding and linens were very nice and plenty of towels provided. Having two kitchens and two living rooms was very handy for our group (the location is a duplex and is not joined on the interior). The location is a short walk from Barton Springs/Zilker park and just a few minutes drive from downtown, SOCO and the food trailers. Also very close to Mopac for farther travels. Sally was prompt on communications. We definitely recommend this property.
