Went for a bachelor party. It was very smooth. Chris and Rose had snacks, toiletries, and entertainment all available. It was a big hit with everyone there. Very near the more active nightlife without feeling it or hearing it at all. Would absolutely recommend.

It was a great stay at Chris & Rose’s beautiful home! Everything was as described, and the hosts were very responsive and helpful with everything. Would recommend to anyone with a bigger group and would certainly stay here again!

Great place to gather with a large group. Plenty of beds and space to spread out. The backyard is perfect on nice days. The owners were clear on instructions and welcoming. Would absolutely stay here again.

We absolutely love this house and had a blast celebrating a 40th birthday. The pool was amazing and all the outdoor things they had for us to do. The beds were very comfortable and plenty of space for all of us.

Chris and Rose were fantastic hosts. Any questions/issues were responded to in minutes, and were always courteous. They allowed for both early check-in and a slightly later check-out given cleaning crew’s schedule which was really great. As for the location itself, it was perfect for our bachelor party weekend. There were ample beds for our 12 person crew, the yard was stacked with games as shown in listing, and bathrooms were well stocked with standard fare, as well as q-tips, flossers, etc. Finally, there were welcome items in the kitchen, coffee grounds, towels for the pool, and enough sunscreen to last for weeks. It was a great spot to hang with friends, and an accessible home base for the weekend out in Austin!

This house was exactly as advertised by Chris & Rose. The amenities, especially the outside area and pool, were ideal for the larger group I had! The location near UT was great with amazing food selections and quick access to Downtown!
