Great location for experiencing all Austin has to offer

Austin is one of our favorite cities. We lived there in the 80s & again when I worked for Dell recently. While we’ve moved away we still love spending time here. We celebrated my October Birthday at the Plum Cottage. It was quiet & cozy & perfect location for getting around to all the Austin hot spots. Thanks Carole & Kerry!

Amazing

If I could give this place a 10 star rating I would! The owners, Carole and Kerry have thought of everything you would ever need! Their communication is above and beyond. We, my husband and myself, had never been to Austin before. Carole sent loads of information about what to do and where to eat. They checked in with us after our arrival to make sure we had everything we needed. The location of the house is so close to the downtown area. It only took minutes to get to major sites and activities. The house itself is very well maintained. I love that they had a binder filled with information about activities, sights and any type of restaurant you would be interested in. It also contained contact numbers if you needed them. They made themselves very available if needed. The kitchen is very well stocked with cooking gear and even condiments that you would need if you decide to cook and eat in. There is a washer and dryer and laundry soap available. We loved everything about this VRBO and would highly highly recommend it.

I spent 5 weeks at Plum cottage and found it had everything I needed. The kitchen was well stocked for home cooking. Restaurants were close by, I loved the location, neighborhood felt very safe. I had 2 dogs with me and the fenced in yard was great. The house had great flow and did not feel small. The owners were very responsive. I would recommend this place to others and definitely would stay there again.

Charming neighborhood close to great restaurants. The house had everything I needed. I just stayed for one night, but the house is set up for you to stay longer. Ample kitchen amenities included. The yard is a good size as well.

Perfect Home Away from Home

My husband and I were in Austin for a few days mid-week and wanted someplace near all of our favorite spots, but not a hotel. We found Plum Cottage on VRBO and couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. The owners were extremely responsive & helpful and the accommodations were wonderful - clean, spacious, just right for two. Another benefit was being able to bring our dog. Wonderful all around - we will definitely be back.

What a wonderful stay at a wonderful property! The hosts are so responsive, and have provided everything I wanted/needed for my long term stay. The cottage is cozy and well laid out, in a great neighborhood, and close to downtown. My dog loved the backyard, and Carole and Kerry made us both feel welcome. Will be back!! Thanks so much!

South Lamar cottage

"Cottage" is an apt descriptor for this neat little place, which is a fine example of well organized tiny house. The location really is a plus and it is amazing how quiet it was, given that it is actually very close to the busy South Lamar roadway. The photos accurately depict what is and is not there, but if you are having guests during your stay it might be important to recognize that there is no table for more than 2 people. If cooking is your thing, we felt this was the best outfitted kitchen of the many places we have previously rented. The hosts' attention to detail is very obvious.

Charming Cottage

My husband was attending a conference in downtown Austin and the Plum Cottage was a perfect location. It was 15 min to downtown convention center, walking distance to little Zilker park and a short drive to Barton Springs and the Colorado River. We enjoyed stand up paddling several days and a Shakespeare play at the outdoor theater in Barton Springs park. Our fur babies were safe in the backyard for playtime and loved the space inside for relaxing. We had a blast. We will definitely be back and highly recommended the Plum Cottage and any of the other properties Kerry & Carole make available. They are amazing at maintaining this property and we have no doubt they do the same for the other rentals they manage. Can’t say enough about what excellent service and property was provided to us. Very clean, cozy and met all our needs.
