The house is perfect! Well decorated and really well stocked - items I never expected were available for guests. Scott, one of the owners, was super helpful. I will most definitely stay here again!

Super amazing host and loved everything about the house. Clean, well furnished, and over all wonderful place to spend time. The neighborhood was also fantastic, so close to downtown Austin!

We enjoyed our stay! The home has everything needed and is beautifully designed. Hosts were hospitable and available if we needed anything. There is a main sleeping loft space with a huge new bathroom. There is an additional private sleeping area (futon) available in the study with it’s own half bath. The hosts kindly set up the futon for us since we needed both sleeping areas. There is also a nice outdoor space in the back with lighting and seating. Lots of comfortable options to gather and relax. Wifi was good too.

Great stay at Scott & Cindy’s rental. Proactive communication pre-trip and then found the rental to be even better than the photos. Likely the best-stocked place we have stayed. Some nice pieces of art as well. This will be our first choice for Austin housing on future visits. Great hosts!

We visited Austin for a long weekend to attend the ACL music festival. We were so pleased with the guest house and could not have had a better experience!! The kitchen was well-stocked, the bathroom was enormous, the bedroom was tranquil, and the backyard was divine. Without a doubt we will stay here again if we return to Austin. Scott was a very communicative and welcoming host. Five stars all around!!

Every single detail about our stay was outstanding - the location, the decor, the cleanliness, the amenities, and the host.
We were in Austin for Austin City Limits and this location provided us with a quiet place to stay (with off-street parking!) while also being within walking distance to all the greatness that is Austin.
Scott was a great host and made sure everything about our stay was perfect throughout the weekend; he definitely went above and beyond and we are so grateful. We will definitely recommend his place and be repeat customers when we head back to Austin.

My husband and I and our 2 dogs had a wonderful stay at Scott and Cindy's carriage house. The carriage house is amazing with tall windows and comfortable furnishings. The kitchen was so well stocked. Our dogs loved the outdoor area and the windows.It was such a relaxing stay. Scott and Cindy are great hosts. We wish we could have stayed longer and look forward to returning.

It was a perfect weekend to celebrate my son's graduation from UT Austin . The house was perfect for our small group celebration and the hosts did everything to make it even more remarkable day ! The house is even better than what is listed , very well decorated with everything you need. The small patio is very enjoyable , surrounded by trees and the fire pit was an additional nice touch for a cold evening in Austin. Thank you so much for having us. This is the second time in Scott's guest house and I hope we can return soon.

Very nice accommodations, we wanted to stay in a more private setting than a hotel would be able to offer; we were in town for a family memorial service.

We were DELIGHTED with our home away from home. Our expectations were met and exceeded with the location, layout and the decor of this VRBO. The owner Scott was great to communicate with, he recommended coffee shops and restaurants that we could walk to. This house is located in a quiet neighborhood which was central to a lot of things we wanted to do in Austin, we like to walk and get to know a neighborhood. We are so glad we got the chance to stay in this beautiful home. Austin is a great city to visit!
