Bear Creek Cottage is a gem
A Neat, clean, well equipped home for our 20 day stay. Very useable space inside, with a covered back porch which was used a great deal. Very gracious hosts that were attentive and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended. We look forward to another stay here.

Cozy and comfy!
We were in town for a wedding nearby and this cute little cottage was the perfect home base for the weekend. Close enough to I-35 that we didn’t feel disconnected from attractions downtown, but out of town enough that we could sit on the back porch at night and listen to crickets. (Really appreciate that the porch has an overhead fan— made it bearable to hang outdoors even in the warmer temps!) The bed was comfortable, everything was very clean, and they even had a couple waters in the fridge for us… which was fantastic because we arrived super late from the airport and hadn’t stopped for refreshments on the way. Would definitely stay here again!

Home away from home
We had arrangements to stay else where and they fell through. Terry and Sue went above and beyond to help us out in a very short amount of time. I’m a clean freak so I’m always nervous at what we will find. I have only stayed at 1 other VRBO. This place was perfect!!! Everything you could want or need. Very clean, very homey and so quaint! My husband was so pleased and he is the reason we never stay in any, he has changed his mind since we stayed there. It was so quiet, so clean and 4 min from my niece. The hosts were very quick to answer questions and check in was so easy….even for me. Thank you to Terry and Sue. We hope to come back and I would recommend this place to anyone, and I’m picky.

Fireflies were the icing on the cake!
Truly one of my favorite VRBO experiences. We enjoyed a wonderful stay at this comfortable house located in a quiet neighborhood. Just a short drive from many restaurants. Convenient to drive to Circuit of the Americas and downtown Austin. The hosts were responsive and kind. The best part: we got to see fireflies in the backyard. I have always wanted to see them. Dream come true!

Cottage near Buda
This is a very cute cottage near Buda and not far from Austin. We needed a spot for a quick overnight stay, and this was perfect. Spotless, well-appointed, wonderful decor, beautiful and well-stocked kitchen and nice TV’s. A wonderful back porch and private setting with large backyard, and has a security system. Very nice and communicative owners!

A comfortable Home!
Went with my fiancé, future brother in law and his wife. We visited Austin for a festival and the home was perfect. Close enough to stores and not far at all from the festival. Home was very clean and spacious for its size. Kinda skeptical at first but it did not disappoint! Would totally book again! Sue and Terry responded with no hesitation. And we’re very kind answering my questions since it was our groups first time booking ourselves.

Great South Austin Cottage
A beautiful cottage located just a few minutes from our daughter. Clean, quaint, peaceful and exactly as described in its online listing. Hosts were exceptional. Sue and Terry went above and beyond to accommodate our trailer and all our other needs. If we ever make it back that way, we will definitely see if it or one of their other properties is available.

Great location and lovely property
Property very clean and updated -- comfortable beds, nice linens, towels, some amenities provided, kitchen well-stocked for cooking needs, large back yard which was great when my son stopped by with his dog. We could sit out back on the covered porch and visit while the dog ran around. Easy check in with private/personal security access provided. Sue was a wonderful and very responsive host. Would highly recommend this property -- easy access to grocery store, gas and dining out. Also just 15 minutes from the city of Austin.

Amazing cottage
I really can’t say enough good things about this house. It is exceptionally clean, exactly as pictured, and in a fantastic location if you are looking to be close to Austin without all the traffic. Very thoughtful details and the house has everything you could need and nothing that is unnecessary. Soft towels, cozy bedding, great water pressure. Check in and check outs were super easy. Can’t recommend enough and we are looking forward to staying at the cottage again.

Super clean, charming and perfect for our stay!
Just spent the weekend there getting together with old friends. We had an amazing time, and the house was PERFECT! Walked to the food truck area for coffee and a breakfast sandwich... super convenient. The house and grounds are very well maintained. We spent all day Saturday on the back porch laughing and playing games. Everything about the place was welcoming and comfortable. We didn't have any problems at all, and would certainly stay here again.

Immaculate house in a country-like setting conveniently located
Well planned out house and very comfortable for 4 adults. Loved the covered patio with ceiling fan. Nice place to enjoy a morning coffee. Lighted vanity mirrors in each bedroom help with the bathroom scheduling. No detail was overlooked, even had wrinkle release spray for a quick save before heading out. Everything you need is here. Very responsive owners.
