Stayed here for 4 nights with a big group and the place was ideal. Everyone was comfortable and enjoyed their accommodations. It was conveniently located near highways and restaurants. Make sure to get some Torchy's breakfast tacos in the morning! Would definitely stay here again.

Stayed four nights for a convention in Austin with the family. Loved the home! Great location. Convenient to walk to local amenities and just five minutes from downtown. Beautifully decorated and fully stocked with everything we needed for a great trip!

Stayed at the cottage for 3 nights. Absolutely loved the house and location. Back deck was peaceful, water garden beautiful and the finch aviary was so delightful! Spotless accommodations! Having the washer/dryer on-site was so convenient. Grocery store was a short walk. The kitchen had everything needed to make a great meal and dishwasher made clean-up a breeze. Am thinking... More

I stayed in the Hancock Guest Nest: two days of business and then my SO came down for a weekend getaway. It worked well for both! I have been recommending it to anyone I can ever since. It didn't feel like a hotel at all, it felt like house-sitting for a friend. It combines the best of a bed and... More

The loft hideaway is wonderful. It reminds me of my stays in Europe, where the details like towels and bedding and silverware are always a bit nicer than they are in American hotels. The layout is lovely. The design details show an attention to quality and beauty. The hosts are wonderful. I was surprised, being upstairs in a converted attic... More

Well-appointed, with everything you need including juice and coffee for your first morning. Short walk to Mother's and Hyde Park restaurants, Quack's bakery and coffee shop, and Fresh Plus market. Hancock golf course is two drives down Red River.How nice is all that?

My daughter and I stayed in both the Loft and the Guest Nest; two separate properties which are part of the Hancock Cottages. We stayed in the Loft for a month and a half and in the Guest Nest for two weeks while we worked on a project in Austin. We found the hosts, Rachel and Nick to be supremely... More

I spent about 6 weeks at the Hancock Guest Cottage with my family and we enjoyed our stay. It is very close to the bus routes and the Hancock shopping Center is right behind the Cottage. The owners were quite friendly and ensured we were comfortable.

We stayed in the Guest Nest unit for five nights, and overall we recommend it with 3.5 out of 5 stars with a few caveats for light sleepers. It is located in the rear of the same property as the Guest Cottage and Loft Hideaway, but the Guest Nest has a private “yard” / patio area separated from the Cottage... More

We visit Austin fairly frequently and have found it difficult to find decent short-term furnished apartments for rent. We recently stayed a month in the Hancock Guest Nest! This style of accommodation is perfect for short-term visitors, especially if visiting UT. The red river shuttle bus into the university is practically on your door. The Guest Nest has everything you... More
