We had a great time in Austin and thoroughly enjoyed staying at this comfortable cottage. The neighborhood is charming and the house is very close to shopping and public transportation. The owners were responsive and friendly but not intrusive. I have nothing negative to report! more

We stayed in the Guest Nest for 6 nights. We enjoyed our stay so much. Very tranquil -- Nick and Rachel have really thought of everything. The landscaping is an inspiration -- We can't stop talking about it ... are making plans for our future patio & deck with those things in mind! The convenience of the location, kitchen &... more

Although a bit off the beaten track, Hancock Guest Cottage was a lovely place to stay. My daughter and I stayed this past August while we checked out UT(Austin). The location is convenient to the local highway which took us where ever we wanted to go. We stayed in the studio unit, that had a kitchen,bed, desk, and laundry room.... more

I stayed at the Hancock Guest Nest for 2 nights when I was in Austin. This was a fantastic alternative 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... more

There's a high definition TV, ipod player, washer and dryer and full... more

It was located in an old neighborhood in the middle of Austin and gave me easy access to downtown via IH35. The neighbors were friendly and the gardens were budding... more

This place is a great alternative to two rooms in an impersonal hotel. I loved the full kitchen, with its clearly-brand-new appliances, which made for easy breakfasts. It even came stocked with cookbooks! One weird thing: the pepper grinder was cool but was also empty… but where were the peppercorns? Having the HEB grocery store so close by is really... more

My husband (US) and I (Belgium) wanted to do something different for Valentine, so we decided to have a romantic weekend in the Hancock Cottage. That sure beat sleeping in our truck camper (in which we are travelling around the States)! What a splurge and oh-so-worth it! The location was great, with ample parking space, and the cottage gave us... more

I make a regular trip to Austin, from my base in Cleburne, TX. In the past, I did the typical hotel stay. I decided to give this cottage a try and found a new way to acquire lodging. I found this concept to be much more enjoyable and homey feeling. This cottage is perfectly located for moving about Austin and... more
