Joep helps businesses and governments quantify environmental performance to make sure everything adds up. He is Dutch and married a Texan lady and moved to Austin in 2006. It is a great city with day trips galore. Just think of all the wineries, hikes, Hill Country, barbecue and the lakes. Austin has many gems itself. We are foodies, so just ask what you need and we will find you a cool place to go! Courtney is a yoga teacher and loves to cook using what our garden has to offer.
Very green, very clean, very quiet. The available breakfast was a nice plus over what I was expecting of an extra bedroom in their home.
November 2011Courtney and Joep were wonderful hosts. The room was clean and pretty, the house was cool.
Our stay with Joep & Courtney was due to a wedding being held nearby & reception at the Barr Mansion. The location was the perfect distance between the two. Because of our schedule we used the place as a crash pad after a full day of events. Thanks to our hosts for everything! The space was delightful, clean, and the hosts were very engaging. Our only problem was in the 104 degree heat of Austin, the air conditioner left the house on the warm side.
Staying with these two wonderful people was really fantastic. The private and bathroom were very clean. I would highly recommend staying there!
We had a lovely stay with Joep and Courtney. They welcomed us into their home and were great company, offering many local tips on what to see and do. The room was spacious, clean and tidy. Our time in Austin was much more memorable because of Joep and Courtney. We are so glad we had the opportunity to meet such kind and gracious people during our travels. Thankyou
Joep and Courtney were more than generous and accommodating. Really nice and easy to make conversation with.
Courtney and Joep made my Austin experience a wonderful one, they are great hosts and the accomodation is perfect. I truly did enjoy staying with them and can only recommend it!
I had a wonderful time with wonderful hosts in peaceful & relaxing surrounds. Courtney & Joep have an easy hospitality, and I highly recommend them as hosts!
Staying with Joep and Courtney was such a pleasure. They were incredibly hospitable and informative and they were fantastic with our 15 month old daughter. Their home is lovely and the guest bedroom and bathroom were very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Austin which had a lot to do with Joep and Courtney. We couldn't recommend this place enough.
Joep and Courtney were great hosts - friendly and accomodating with a comfortable space close to lots of things. We loved it!
Joep and Courtney are a delightful couple. Their peaceful and relaxed home made a weekend business trip to Austin a welcome change from the traditional hotel experience. My room and private bath were very comfortable and, while their home has convenient access to I-35, it was very quiet.
Joep and Courtney were very good host. It's a clean, safe and healthy environment. The breakfast room was the highlight with fresh bread, teas and coffee, and local produce and a nice open room and porch on which to relax. We would recommend this Bed & Breakfast to anyone.
Courtney and Joep are a great couple with a great house! I really enjoyed my stay, made me feel like home with a great room/bath, just awesome! Looking forward to see them agin very soon! Thanks for the hospitality!
These two were such nice hosts! It was my girlfriend's birthday and they helped me get a cake and a gift for her! They were so nice we are seriously considering a new life in Austin! I highly recommend them if you need a place to stay!
Joep and Courtney are welcoming, intelligent, and most importantly, good people. If you want a fine introduction to Austin, a comfortable place to stay, and meet sympatico people, this is it. Many thanks and see you sooner rather than later!!!
friendly and accomodating hosts 4 stars
Very nice, clean room! The hosts are very friendly and engaging. I would recommend this room for any visitor to Austin.
Very hospitable and accommodating hosts! Attentive with accommodations and in offering information/advice about the area. Good location and quick access to the interstate.
Needed to add an extra night with very short notice - very flexible and accommodating! We also needed to ship some things ahead of time and they worked with us on this request.
Courtney and Joep are very nice hosts. The breakfast buffet was fabulous, with everything needed, including fresh fruits and organic cereals, and a cappuccino-machine! The house is located in a quite and very green neighborhood.
Joep and Courtney are lovely people with a clean, bright home. They were very friendly and hospitable, and went out of their way to make lists of area restaurants for me, along with and other nice touches. Reasonably priced morning yoga sessions with Courtney were much appreciated. Their home is a very inviting place to stay, especially if you're into eco stuff because they're very conservation-oriented and Joep is an environmental consultant.
We has a wonderful stay with Joep and Courtney. They were excellent hosts, anticipating our every need, and giving us lots of info about the City and restaurants of Austin. Great place to stay whenever you're in town and centrally located to everything!
Sarah, Cindy, and I had an excellent time. They were very accommodating and made us feel welcome. I wish that I had a reason to go back to Austin so that I could stay with them again.
Courtney and Joep were delightful! The accommodations were very clean, neat, comfortable and private. Communication was great. We had a wonderful experience and felt like we'd made 2 new friends when we left. We enjoyed coffee in the morning in their cute, bright breakfast nook, and enjoyed looking out into the pretty back yard with the veggie and herb garden. Their home is in a cool, eclectic neighborhood. They were great about recommending different places to eat and see in Austin. We had... More »
Our stay with Courtney and Joep was wonderful! They are very nice and all of our needs were met. They gave us some great advice on places to eat and see. From the first night it was like staying with friends. We loved the bright breakfast room that overlooks the backyard below. Overall very charming home and gracious hosts.
I stayed at Joep and Courtney's Austin home in August and was thrilled with the spotless accommodations. The room was large and private with a comfortable bed and a good sized bathroom. The best feature was the deck which overlooked the back yard garden. The kitchen has a sunny alcove which was the perfect place to enjoy coffee in the morning and peek at the yards of neighboring homes. The location is amazing if you're interested in the local music scene, touring Austin's museums and... More »
Joep and Courtney were great guests! Delightful, considerate and very engaging. It was such a pleasure to host them and I recommend them without hesitation. I hope they'll come back soon and hope they will host me in Austin!
August 2011Joep and Courtney were fantastic guests! We had to leave town the day after they arrived and had no hesitations leaving the place to them. They were clean, kind, respectful, and super easy to get along with. Totally open to experience anything and everything. If only we could have had more time to hang and chat with these two -- interesting and full of good conversation!
True airbnbers, in & out in a flash! Thanks Joep and Courtney, see you in TX.
Great guy. I was lucky our paths crossed in order to have a five minute conversation with Joep.
Joep and Courtney were very polite and easy going guests. They were very accommodating to the the other guests before and after their stay with organizing picking up luggage etc. A sweet couple to host.
