Beautiful old historic home. Would love to go back in the summer to see the gardens, and pool area. Great communication with staff.

Old fashioned setup in a bustling city. Strick toured us around, amazing. His office in the back of garden -- you can see windows from coverage of ivy...Empathy index drawing on the chalkboard... Rings a bell?The history book of the house on coffee table brings you back to mid 19 century, when the house was built.Yes, the bathroom is a bit narrow, but the vibes and hospitalities of Strick and Barbara, as we as Sandy's breakfast make us feel welcomed.

This is a great place to stay when you come to Austin. It's a gorgeous old house. It's also far enough away from the city to escape the business of Austin, but it's still close enough to easily get anywhere you want in the city pretty quickly.

This place is fabulous. The couple who runs it couldn't be nicer. The pool is otherworldly. Shaded by pecan trees and the perfect temperature. It's even better than it looks on the site. I loved the house too. A fantastic few days.

I fell in love with this place the moment I laid eyes on it. It's a beautiful, historic oasis with a clean pool. The backyard was done beautifully. The house and rooms have their own unique charm. The bed was clean and comfortable. They had regular towels and pool towels laid out for you. There's also a mini fridge in the dining room and by the rooms upstairs stocked with water, milk, ice, etc. You may also use them for your own drinks that you bring. Waking up to the sound of the backyard fountain was amazing. We had muffins, croissants, fruits, and cereal for breakfast, but you can request a hot meal. There's also a coffee bar with to-go cups. They've truly thought of everything!! It's also a bonus that it's close to the interstate but not close enough to hear city noise. Everything was about 10-20 minutes away. The furthest we had to drive was McKinney Falls (~35 min).

My parents and brother have stayed here on multiple occasions when visiting me in Austin. The owners take great care of the property and it's in really good shape and a neat place. It's within walking distance to Hyde Park restaurants, UT or North Loop bars and restaurants. Also, very close to Home Slice's 51st street location, which is the first or second most popular pizza restaurant in Austin and has stayed busy through the COVID-19 pandemic. I highly recommend staying here and I walk past this property on a regular basis with my dogs and it's always safe and well maintained. The rooms are large and there is plenty of space, beds are comfortable.

Okay, first of all I must say that Mr and Mrs Strickland we're amazing hosts. They treated us with care and respect as if we were family. If you like historical houses you must see this place. The hardwood floors on the first floor or original White Oak. They have a parlor set up, they have a formal dining room set up. The place is amazing and appears to be historically correct. There is a wrap around porch with comfortable chairs and small tables for visits with friends. The rooms are very comfortable and relatively sound proof. They have spent a lot of time and money restoring this home. Even if you don't stay there please, walk in the front door and speak to either of them. They will gladly give you a tour of the entire facility. They have a pool, and a spa that is in a secluded Alcove. There is an outdoor fireplace by the pool that they always have stock with firewood ready to go. Seriously, if you like historic houses and b&bs and are in downtown Austin you owe it to yourself to see this amazing place.
