My husband and I traveled to Austin with another couple so that we could attend the Formula 1 races. We have friends living in the neighborhood, so this property's location was extremely convenient. Beyond the location, the property was exquisitely furnished and spic and span! The property manager was easily accessible via text prior to and during our stay. We would highly recommend this property and would plan to stay there again when traveling back to Austin!
We had our family here for Thanksgiving week. House is in a great location, well stocked and very clean. Easy to work with owner and property manager, no issues. Thanks!
The property was perfect, great quality across the board and lots of space and facilities. Host was great at communication at all times. Would highly recommend this property and host.
Had a great time with the family, wish we could have stayed longer. My kids enjoyed the party lights outside, they had a full blown concert. ALL in all we couldnt have had a better weekend with family and great memories made.
Needed a place big enough to have our onboarding and be spacious enough to work, while being located to downtown. This location was a match for what we needed. It was great for down time and had all the necessities plus to get work done! Thanks again
Stayed here for a few days along with a few other properties while my family home was being renovated. We felt right at home here. Tracy was great as a host and allowing us to use her home as ours!
Great place and a wonderful location!! Open floor plan for our group and beautiful back yard for us to relax. It was great for my dogs to run and play!! Everyone enjoyed it!!
My family and I had a great graduation weekend in this home. It was so convenient to everything we needed to do in Austin. THE HOME WAS IMMACULATE!!!!! I cannot express how it catered to everyone on of our needs. Beds, space, huge kitchen, and the decor was so nice. The home felt like home! Would love to stay here again the next time we visit Austin.
My family and I rented this home for graduation. We came from Dallas to see my nieces graduation and wanted a little more room and freedom. The home is perfect, decorated perfectly, and the back yard is so cute and out of a little boutique hotel. Distance from the school and DT was an easy 10min tops. The neighborhood is quiet, clean, and the home had enough space for us all. This truly made the weekend amazing!

Beautiful house and very well stocked. Great location. Can't say enough good about this property.
The owner helped us out at a very bad point in our lives. We evacuated Houston durIng Harvey. Our home did flood. Tracey allowed us to live very comfortably in her home, leaving personal touches we didn't expect. The property alone would sell itself but having such a special owner to work with was icing on the cake. We will recommend this place to all our friends, family and anyone looking for something pretty, comfortable, stocked and located perfectly for an Austin stay. Very nice outdoor areas in front yard and back yard to sit and relax as well. I'm sure the other locations with Tracey are just as good and accommodating. We would definitely return. Loved it ❤️

Charming!
Our family had such a great time here! This home is in a great location, only a few minutes to downtown and great shopping. It was wonderful to have a well-stocked kitchen with a beautiful island built for entertaining. The home is in a lovely quiet neighborhood and we look forward to returning soon.

Seamless Experience
We couldn't have asked for an easier trip. Everything was provided in advance, all expectations set. Concierge arranged by NEST to help with all needs. Keyless entry made access a breeze. Gorgeous, comfortable home. We loved it.

Great Location & Perfect Rental
Our family is so glad we chose this home over 2 hotel rooms! This was our first time to go with a home when just the 6 of us. This home allowed everyone to have their own bedroom--very cute rooms! We loved having the living room space to enjoy our down time--new 65" TV was not shown in pics, but is a great addition. (Yes, we watched some football...). We would love to come back.

Couldn't be Cuter!
We are still staying at the house, but I just had to write a review. This home is SO nice & SO spacious for our group of 6 ladies. It is also very clean! We are beyond ecstatic that we decided to get a home instead of 3 hotel rooms! The atmosphere or ambiance of the home is very cozy & very well appointed. We truly are enjoying our time here reconnecting with each other.

Best Holiday House Ever!
My wife & I were so happy when we walked through the door of this home. We really had no idea where the home was & how far to downtown....home is 5min to downtown & was decorated beautifully. Our teenagers were happy with the choice & that is saying something! We stayed in one night & grilled outside on the DCS stainless grill--was very enjoyable. The home has absolutely everything provided, all very upscale.

Beautiful, Spacious & Close to Everything
This home was so perfect for our family! Everyone had their own bedroom & on-suite bathroom. The home is beautifully decorated, and so comfortable! The outdoor area was just perfect for grilling and eating, and the indoor space was ideal to get cozy and watch a movie on the 65" TV! We woke each morning and walked our dog to the local Trianon coffee shop a few blocks away and then ducked into Petco next door. Such a relaxing start to our mornings. Oh-and the mall is 2min away! This was a bonus for the little things I always forget when travelling! Westlake Craftsman was just what we needed for our vacation to Austin! I definitely recommend it and plan to return on our next trip to Austin.

Wonderful experience
My wife and I really enjoyed staying in this house with two other couples. We really felt at home the whole time. It was a very peaceful and relaxing environment, but was still close to the hustle and bustle of all that Austin has to offer. The mall is right down the road, as well as downtown and pretty much any activity you would want to do in Austin. We’ve been coming to Austin for a long time (we went to UT for college), and we’ve never had such a good experience as we did staying in this house.

1st trip to austin
My husband and I, as well as our two friends, visited Austin for the first time in January. We didn't want to do the typical hotel thing, so we found this awesome home to stay in! It was so open, so clean, and had a really cozy feel to it! We are so thankful we found this place to stay in because it made our trip so much better than if we had been in a hotel! It was close to downtown and all the hip areas that Austin has like South Congress St. and Rainey St. We had so much fun!
