Swanky East-Side Sanctuary
5/5 stars
My husband and I have stayed at so many vacation rentals over the past ten years. This home had more amenities then we’ve ever seen. A fully equipped kitchen, pantry and refrigerator. The owners go over the top to please their guest and make you feel like family. It was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed all the art work and collections from their travels. The courtyard out front was delightful with all the natural flowers and the tree house was adorable. Right around the corner is a taco truck with delicious tacos. During the day we walked to Rainy Street without any problems. We highly recommend this wonderful home for your visit to Austin.

Addison Get - Away
5/5 stars
The home was clean and inviting. We were comfortable inside or when sharing a meal outside on the patio. The location provided access to many different restaurants and coffee houses. So we walked where we wanted to go and returned to just hang out afterwards. The owner gave us a cozy place to recline and recover.

Austin was Awesome!
5/5 stars
The Forest was the perfect place with a lot of charm in a great location. We had five adults and the three bedrooms, all with larger beds, was great. Both the inside and outside spaces were great for visiting. The kitchen was well stocked with lots of little extras. The Cenote Cafe was only a block away which was great to stroll down to in the mornings for coffee or something to eat. There was a food truck on the same block, we didn't eat there but it sure smelled great. We highly recommend and would stay again if we are lucky enough to make it back to the area.

This is the owners' permanent home and was fully equipped with all the amenities one could desire. Our four night stay was the most comfortable and home-like of any rental we have visited.

Holiday Weekend
5/5 stars
We were in town for the holiday and thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful home. It was clean, beds were all very comfortable, and the location couldn't be beat! We enjoyed coffee each morning at Cenote, walked to Juan In A Million for breakfast tacos and rode bikes in downtown Austin. Loved the very thoughtful welcome gift left by iTrip Vacations, and appreciated their quick responses to our questions. Can't wait to come back!
- Dawn

Hi Dawn, Thank you for taking the time to leave this review - glad you took us up on our recommendations to visit Cenote Coffee and Juan In A Million while in town - two of our favorites! We are happy that you enjoyed your stay and will look forward to having you back as our guest in the future. Safe travels, Amy

Lovely Home
5/5 stars
My family was here for a long weekend and thoroughly enjoyed everything about the home from the cleanliness, tasteful decorations, well-stocked kitchen and comfortable beds, to the great location (walking distance to downtown and restaurants) and responsiveness from the management company. Check-in was simple, we had a nice welcome basket, and iTrip was very responsive. Highly recommend.

Family in town
5/5 stars
We had family in town and rented this home as 'over-flow'. It was perfect for our family - the home was very clean, spacious, well-stocked and in a great location! The communication with iTrip was exceptional. They were quick to respond to our inquiries, offered an early check-in, and left a very thoughtful welcome basket with wine, sparkling water, and various snacks. We highly recommend
- Cassie M.

Nice home, perfect location
5/5 stars
We were in town for a wedding and had a nice stay at this home. The place was clean, offered plenty of room, comfortable beds, and a well-stocked kitchen. Walked to coffee shop in the morning, and could have walked to downtown very easily, had we not had the kids with us. We took a cab from the airport and got dropped off in the front of the home (entrance is in the rear). That was the only 'down' side to the entire trip. Loved the place and the location.

Hi Claire, Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay at The Forest and hope the wedding was one to remember! Safe travels, Amy

Had a great weekend at this 5-star property. Home was clean, beds were comfortable, location was great (walked everywhere while we were here) and check-in was seamless. Nice bottle of wine, sparkling water, fresh fruit and pastries were left by the host and an early check-in was offered. Had a wonderful weekend and can't wait to come back.
