Our group stayed here and the host attempted to charge us for damage we did not do. Luckily, our…read morecredit card company recognized suspicious activity with the incident as well (considering we have never needed to dispute a charge of this nature) and refused to reimburse Airbnb for the charge. We are still upset with how she handled the situation and requested that Airbnb ask her to file a police report to report a break-in that must have occurred after our check out (considering the cleaners don't appear to have arrived for several days after checkout - anything could have happened during that time). We considered filing the police report ourselves, but trusted that Airbnb/the host would handle it due to the severity of the alleged damage and her accusations. Needless to say, we would not have requested that a police report be filed (nor offered a sworn affidavit denying responsibility for the damage to Airbnb) if we were in fact responsible. It was not right for her to push the damage onto us instead of taking safety precautions for future guests in the event a break-in occurred. If nothing else, the property (which can be accessed by any Airbnb guest through a door code) would benefit greatly from a security system with cameras. The other alternative would be that she may have submitted photos to Airbnb that were taken prior to our visit there. Regardless, we were not responsible and will unfortunately never stay with this host, or Airbnb ever again. We left the place in the same condition we arrived to (clean) and our memory of it has been absolutely ruined due to this incident.

Everything from the decor to the guides and cute "Austin" sign in the front yard made everything about the house so special.

This was a fantastic…read morealternative to staying at a hotel, as you have a full kitchen, laundry, private outdoor seating, free Wifi, and conveniences like an iPod dock, platform bed, and overhead rain shower. The washer/dryer and laundry room was totally worth it, as I was able to catch up on laundry before the next leg of my trip. The Nest looks exactly like it does on the website, and the location is great as well. It is literally adjacent to a shopping center (the back parking lot of Sears is like 20 feet away) but surprisingly this isn't a negative because it's still very quiet. Convenient to restaurants, grocery stores, and a golf course where you can go for a run around the perimeter. Highly recommended. When I visit Austin again, I'll be back!

This property is a perfect Studio setup on Lake Buchanan! If you're into the outdoors/nature and lake scene but also enjoy everything you need right at your fingertips this is the place for you! It's clean, it's more spacious than the photos give it credit for, it's affordable, and most of all, it's peaceful! Here are some of the awesome things you'll find at Ralph's Lake Cottage: King size bed, trundle bed with pull out, chaise lounge, decks and patio furniture, full size fridge and oven, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, blender, full set of kitchenware and cooking supplies. Coffee, tea, zip locks, paper towels, toilet paper, pillows, blankets, extra sheets, bath towels, beach towels, flashlights, musical instruments, DVDs, puzzles, games, cards, fans, kayaks, bikes, swings, firepit, BBQ pit, and more! Seriously, the owners thought of everything! All I brought with me was some wine, snacks, comfy clothes, and my sewing supplies. I had my own personal Sewing Retreat for the weekend and it was fantastic! =) As far as nearby attractions, I only ventured out once when I took the 25 minute drive to Llano, Texas. It was a super cute town with several boutiques, gift shops, restaurants, and 2 quilt stores (which were my main motivator for leaving the cottage). There's also a Family Dollar. There are also nearby wineries and a Country Store with plenty of basics plus made to order pizza, salads, and sandwiches. I personally recommend bringing some food, some wine and comfy clothes and just hanging out to enjoy the scenery. Be sure to do some star gazing at night and get up for the sunrise - it's AMAZING!

He called us the other day and said that somehow a wedding booked through VRBO had been automatically canceled and was booked for the same day. Next, he told us that we could make whatever decision we wanted because it was our booking confirmed through Airbnb. He also offered to get us somewhere similar at half the price but sent two Airbnbs that we didn't like and called it a day. Later that evening he said he was going to cancel our booking because the wedding already had "several VRBOs booked nearby, 12 caterers and 60 guests with a good chunk coming internationally."

Keyrenter has taken good care of the property for years, across more than one point of contact, and that consistency is a big part of why I've stayed. Robyn has been my manager most recently, and what stands out is how clearly she communicates. On my latest lease renewal she walked me through her pricing with real market comps and landed on terms that worked for the tenants and made sense for me. Keeping good tenants happy while still looking out for the property is a hard balance, and she strikes it well. Maintenance has been the same. When things have come up, she's coordinated the work, sent estimates up front, and kept me in the loop from start to finish. She treats the relationship like a partnership, which is rare. If you want someone who stays on top of things, I'd recommend Keyrenter, and Robyn in particular.
