Lovely little home, excellent location, great hosts
I absolutely love this charming little cottage. It's so thoughtfully decorated, well stocked, comfortable and homey. The owners did a beautiful job restoring it and keeping the historic charm. And they were super responsive, friendly and easy to reach while respecting my privacy (they live down the street). The location is fantastic — just a short walk to historic main street and all their restaurants, cafes and shops. The perfect place for one or two adults to stay. There are trains nearby that sometimes run at night, but not many and the hosts supply earplugs so that wasn't an issue for me. But wanted to share full disclosure about that. I would highly recommend this home for your next Round Rock visit. I'll definitely be staying there again when I come back to visit my dad and childhood home.

Charming & relaxing
The carriage house was perfect - exactly what I needed! Charming & with all amenities I could have wanted. The front porch/deck was great for having family over. Walking distance to shops restaurants. Lisa was great - very helpful throughout the whole process. I will definitely try to stay there again when visiting Austin. Thank you Lisa!

Debra and Chris were wonderful guests. They were so friendly and interesting. We enjoyed getting to visit with them, as they were so conscientious, positive, and kind, leaving a special card and even decorating the Christmas tree. They left everything in absolutely great shape! We hope they come back soon and we highly recommend them to anyone!

Cute and Charming
I just completed a two week stay at the Carriage House and loved it! The Carriage House is tucked away in the old Round Rock neighborhood providing easy access to the nearby food and businesses in Round Rock. The house itself is charming with lots of cute touches around the house. Lisa and Joe were fantastic hosts who were quick to respond and made the stay simple. If my travels take me back to the Austin area I will definitely consider staying at the Carriage House again.

Wonderful hospitality
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The carriage house is so well appointed, it's clear that a lot of thought and care went into setting it up. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. The hospitality that Lisa & Joe showed us was top notch. I can't say enough positive things about how great the communication was and the amazing hospitality. Waking up to fresh donuts, fruit, and flowers on the porch was a real treat! We loved the location and would absolutely stay there again.

The Perfect Stay
Lisa and Joe are such great hosts who go above and beyond! Everything from location to little touches such as water and fruit bowl, etc., this was such a great stay. Downtown Round Rock is full of history, unique shopping, great restaurants and coffee shops. This will definitely be where I stay next time I’m in the area!

Elegantly beautiful
Very quaint accommodations, very well taken care of property, and home is of the era it was built. The host brought donuts from the local donut shop which is known to be top notch. Every accommodation was above par inside the house. The instructions upon leaving were very simple, and the host took care of everything at the end made the exit, smooth and an enjoyable stay. I would recommend it for a couples enjoying an anniversary, or maybe simply traveling through Round Rock, Texas.

Home sweet home
What a wonderful property. I was so happy to spend 6 days/ nights here while in Round Rock to watch my son’s team play in a lacrosse tournament. The carriage house was so enchanting and homey and Lisa and Joe are wonderful hosts. The place was clean and homey and offered everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was comfy, kitchen and bathroom were well equipped and so many lovely touches with the decor. I arrived late at night and the property was well lit with porch lights, making me feel safe and welcomed. Inside was a beautiful bouquet of fresh cut seasonal flowers and, as the reviews stated, I had the most delicious round rock donuts waiting on my porch at 7am. Lisa and Joe were available for even the littlest of things to ensure that everything was perfect and that I was happy with my stay. The location is so convenient to everything yet tucked away in a cute neighborhood. I will definitely stay here again if I’m ever in Round Rock and would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a cozy getaway.

Carriage house
My family and I absolutely enjoyed our stay. Lisa and Joe were such gracious hosts, even left us world famous Round Rock donuts sitting on the porch swing one morning. Our daughter also loved the chalk and bubbles. I personally enjoyed the personal touch, the property(s) are filled with history, antiques and art. Lisa was nice enough to tour their properties and showcase their individual personalities. The location was perfect, walking distance to downtown Round Rock. We look forward to heading back soon, maybe in August. Thank you Lisa and Joe, your hospitality was beyond exceptional, my family and I are greatly appreciative!

Charming Carriage House
What a delightful place! The Carriage house was a cozy and perfectly located home. We love the neighborhood. The front porch was perfect for a morning coffee and watching the birds and hummingbirds enjoy the water feature was so fun/peaceful. It was quiet and the bed was comfortable and the shower had terrific pressure. Excellent communication and all round great hosts. Will stay here again when we visit the area for sure !!! Thank you

A complete gem of a property in Round Rock!
This was the perfect place for a long awaited reunion with my partner. Beautifully appointed, cozy with a real feeling of home and many special features. Much thought and love has been spent by the hosts to make this a true gem to rent. Walking distance to the lovely downtown area, in a safe, quiet, historic neighborhood. The hosts live opposite and go out of their way to make sure you stay is the best it can be. Very comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen and a lovely patio with a pergola and porch swing to enjoy the very pretty garden area, which includes a lovely water feature. Monogrammed robes, plenty of towels, bedding, cushions for your comfort. The fresh famous donuts left on the porch swing for us the first morning were the icing on the cake. It has great water pressure for a shower, heat and air that’s easy to control and ceiling fans, also good WiFi. Parking is off street at the front of the property, enough for 2 cars easily. Not long after leaving we were wishing we could just move in permanently! I doubt you’ll find better anywhere in this area for a couple, especially if you want a special romantic retreat to spend time together. The hosts took the time to introduce themselves while we were there and could not have been nicer to deal with, they genuinely wanted us to have a great stay that was obvious. If I’m any doubt, just book it, you will not regret this choice!

Perfect getaway!
The carriage house was perfect and Lisa was nice enough to check in with us before we arrived and before we left to make sure we didn't need anything. She even delivered some of Round Rocks famous donuts the first day we were there. (Hint if you want to visit the shop walk up the car line is insane). The house was small but worked for my husband, daughter and I. The front porch was great and we spent a fair amount of time enjoying the weather. The neighborhood is quite and close to downtown, the neighbors and everyone we met was friendly. The house itself had everything needed, extra blankets, soap , dishes etc. I just loved the way it was decorated as well. I highly suggest renting this property if we ever go back we will for sure.
