Wonderful stay!

Doug’s cabin was the perfect place for our weekend visit! It was comfortable and well-set up, and we appreciated having the small kitchen. The bed was also very comfortable. It’s also a fantastic location, close to almost everything we wanted to do, but we especially loved walking over to Zilker for a long walk to start each morning. We’d love to stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Doug Johnson

I am a life-long Texan. I grew up in Beaumont but have lived almost continuously in Austin since 1975; most of that time in the same home where I still live. I graduated from UT, have two grown children and one grandchild. I retired in 2014 and now work as a consultant when I'm not traveling.

Why they chose this property

The cabin I am renting was originally a "barn" in the rear of the same lot my 100+ year-old bungalow sits. The house has been my home for over 30 years, where I raised my children, and hope that they may continue to enjoy for many years to come. I remodeled the "barn" into a guest cottage for extra space for friends and family. It is also an ideal space to host guest travelers.

What makes this property unique

This is the type of place that the adage "location, location, location" was coined for. For someone wanting to enjoy all that is special about Austin, you cannot ask for a better spot.
