The Collier Street Cottage Guest Suite in the heart of Austin!
Youâll love our large and spacious Guest Suite, the Primary Bedroom of The Collier St. Cottage, with great amenities like high ceilings, large bathtub, and within walking distance to Alamo Drafthouse and Zilker Park. (Note: It is attached to our home, but completely separate with its own private entrance. You do not have access to our home.)
A Sleep Number king-size bed with luxury Peacock Alley linens and a cozy window seat nearby make this large guest room so inviting. All sleeping pillows and duvet are hypo-allergenic. There are two antique bureaus with several drawers for your clothing, as well as one closet. A small kitchenette features a large shelving unit with mini-fridge, microwave, toaster and coffee maker. We provide a few continental breakfast items.
NOTE: There is no TV, but there is WiFi.
Washer and dryer and skylight are in the bathroom. With central air and a ceiling fan over the bed, the room temp is very comfortable. The space is bathed in lots of natural light and a private patio for your enjoyment. Public access at the South Gate of Barton Springs Pool is right down the hill. Open 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, except Thursdays.
Restaurants, live music, coffee, bakeries, and shopping, are all within a short walk. Everything is at your fingertips as we live in the best zip code in Austin and right up the hill from hundreds of acres of green space, Barton Springs, Lady Bird Lake, Zilker Botanical Garden and hiking trails. Not to mention Restaurant Row!
Come enjoy Austin's festivals, outdoor activities, and more, and stay awhile to experience all there is to love about Austin.
Deborah and David were great hosts and provided everything we could have needed, including towels for the Barton Springs pool and snacks! 5 stars all around!
Deborah and Davidâs suite is excellent. The bed is extremely comfortable, the suite is well stocked with snacks and breakfast items including coffee, and the bathroom is large and sunny. The beautiful garden just outside the doors is a bonus! I would give this more than five stars if I could.
Perfect place for what we needed which was a quiet place close to Austin. Easy drive/ Lyft to town and very close to Terry Black's BBQ and Zilker park.
Great little suite to call home for two nights. Everything was as pictured and described. David made sure we had everything we needed and was a great host.
Thanks for providing a lovely stay and experience! As a scent sensitive person, I appreciate that the linens and bathroom were fragrance free. I also appreciate the fruit snacks. Thanks again!
I had a lovely stay here. I unfortunately had to book last minute during SXSW due to another vrbo listing cancelling on me last minute. Despite that, I am glad I landed here. Due to the chaos of last minute changes I had to check out of one place early and wouldâve had hours gap between check in for this place but the hosts kindly got me in as soon as possible, cleaned the suite wonderfully, and made it cozy on short notice. There were all sorts of snacks, bread and jam, fruits, yogurt, sodas, bottles water, utensils at my disposal.
The location was perfect as I needed to be in close proximity to the Zilker Alamo drafthouse, it was a little less than 20 minute walk or a 2-3 minute drive. From the Alamo you are able to take the shuttle anywhere for the festival (definitely helps you save on Ubers). It was great for a long SXSW stay since they also had in suite laundry. The place is stocked for anything you could possibly need. Going to Barton Springs? They got towels. Rainy day? They got ponchos AND umbrellas. Need to cut up some fruits and veggies? They have the fruit and the cutting board + knives. They even have a sleep number bed! Overall this place is worth the splurge and what you get in return on top of all else is lovely souther hospitality.
Thank you hosts!!
Our hosts, Deborah & Dave, live in an adjacent building to our private cottage, and they were unbelievably gracious and accommodating! Deborah met us in person, despite our late arrival at 11pm, and gave us a quick overview of the cottage. They move their vehicle so that their guests have use of the parking space, and they stock the cottage with yummy breakfast items like coffee, fruit, yogurt, bread and pb & jelly! The cottage is tastefully decorated, and the bedding is so comfortable. Being a New Englander who has been stuck inside for several months, I especially loved the outdoor patio; my partner and I enjoyed cocktails and conversation outdoors each evening and had some cool wildlife encounters with skunks (no smelly contact) and possums. It's a very peaceful and private space, but only a five minute drive from downtown Austin to get to music venues, and it's a short walk to Zilker Park and some local breweries (recommend the Austin Beer Garden Brewing Company, within walking distance!) D&D, thank you for sharing your space - very special! We will be back!
The property is the perfect location for experiencing everything Austin has to offer, great food, relaxing walks, and amazing outdoor activity. Safe and convenient neighborhood with parking. David and Deborah are hospitable, kind, creative and attentive to every need. We love every part of the property and the hosts.
