You have to see this place! I met so many friendly people. Every city needs a community like this. Be prepared to take a short walk to the bathroom in... read more the rain (especially in the middle of the night!) and if they're having Java and Jesus go hang out. I just wish the movie and farm animal Friday hadn't been rained out.

What a great place! It really says something that I was in Austin only two days and I barely wanted to leave this little abode. This tiny house is so... read more cute, clean, and the community is welcoming and warm— not to mention the wonderful work they do for their community, and how awesome it is to be able to support that. Only thing to note: I wasn’t able to access WiFi from inside the tiny house. This was a little inconvienent, but WiFi works well just a few steps from your door and it wasn’t enough to curb me from staying there again. Thanks!

What a treasure in our city! My 7 year old daughter and I came out for a girls’ night. Note they show a public movie outside the tiny house and... read more it’s very loud from about 7-10pm, so if you want quiet this isn’t the time to go. We were lucky to have the opportunity to volunteer in the garden in the morning. Be sure to stop by the market and buy some of the wares made by the residents. The house and bathrooms were sparkling clean. Bed was comfortable. Pillows were fluffy. We will return!

One of the cutest communities I’ve seen! I loved the tiny house and I was worried about it being too small, but it wasn’t at all! It was a great... read more location, and a great experience. Thank you!

This place is beyond amazing! I felt at home and had a ton of fun with the locals. Everyone we crossed paths with was friendly. The bathrooms were close and... read more clean as were the showers. The cutest and most convenient store was located on premises. We enjoyed movie night on the lawn which was great for our 2yr old. We will definitely be back and want to try out other tiny homes available for rent. Everything this place stands for is amazing and I felt lucky to be a part of it even for a moment.

Community First Village is an incredible place! I am the author of a children's book called "The Big Adventures of Tiny House" - and the characters create a community "based... read more on sharing and giving" - that is what this community feels like! The tiny house "Breezy" was immaculate and adorable, the shared bathroom facilities are modern, new and immaculate. I wish we could have stayed longer! We walked around the community and I bought a sculpture in the general market made by a resident, then had the pleasure of meeting the artist Ute! I will cherish that :)

We actually booked before we really knew what we were in for and we were so pleasantly surprised to discover the amazing work being done at MLF! We just thought... read more the tiny house was adorable, and we were about to attend a tiny house conference, so we thought it would be a fun memory. It did not disappoint! Breezy was super cute and well decorated. We were able to watch a free outdoor movie from our porch furniture on Friday night. We were able to buy sunscreen and some really beautiful handmade souvenirs from the market on Saturday. Breezy did not have a restroom or shower, but there is a building very close by with private rooms with toilets and showers. Not a big deal at all. We really enjoyed our stay, and we've already booked again!

We really enjoyed our stay in the Breezy Tiny House @ Community First. It is a beautiful community. Restrooms /Showers were clean, & close by. Residents were very friendly. The... read more Breezy was adorable, evoked the beach house feel. The A/C worked great, & 2 ceiling fans. We slept like babies. I highly recommend staying in any of the offerings at Community First.❤

The entire complex was simply amazing. I'm not a religious person in the slightest but it was amazing to see what kind of community this was and how it helped... read more cater to those with housing difficulties. The Breezy Airbnb was fantastic, although the bed was slightly small. This isn't really a complaint though, considering I'm 6'1" and not much could be done. All of the other Airbnb's were really cute and quaint and walking around the entire community to look at all of the gardens and pens for the chickens made everything feel rather home-y. The restroom/shower/laundry facilities were very clean and tidy and were very private despite being community facilities. We definitely plan on returning for our next visit to Austin but plan on staying in the Smart Home this time as it's a bit bigger than the others. (; All around 5 stars.

I was a little nervous about staying at Community First for the same reason I worry about staying anywhere--I have a big dog and I always wonder if pet friendly... read more stays are really ready for my big, goofy pup. I'm happy to say that we were both greeted with open arms, and treated in a very friendly manner from everyone we encountered while staying in the tiny home. The facilities were top notch; clean, updated, and readily available. Barrett was a great host. He made sure I had everything I needed from the moment I arrived until the moment I left. The dog park was one of the best Freddy has played in, it was nice to have fences tall enough to accommodate big dogs. I will definitely keep this property on my short list for places to stay in Austin.

I loved my stay at Breezy. I was thrilled to learn about the Community First Village. I was fortunate enough to choose a Friday night stay so I... read more could enjoy the community free movie night and a walking tour of the property The next day. Inspiring project!

I loved my little tiny home. The bed was comfortable and the decor was cute. The bathhouse was just a few steps away. As a female traveling alone, safety is... read more a huge concern. I felt safe completely safe here during my visit, even on the late night visits to the bath house. Community First! Village is truly an amazing place.

This was such an amazing experience to visit this community! We need more like this as this is the way life should be. Barrett had everything ready for us and... read more we were very pleased with our “beach” stay at breezy tiny house.

We loved our tiny home, Breezy. It was spotless clean and a great introduction to the tiny house community.
They have great activities to get involved with and... read more the location is just a short drive to all things “touristy.”
One challenge was not having running water in the tiny home. It was a short walk to the community/restrooms & shower area.
Overall a great experience!!!

The tiny home was clean and adorable and well-priced. Host was nice and gracious and communicative.
Just note, this location does not have a built in bathroom. You use... read more community restroom and showers.
Also, the tiny house is located in a homeless community. Everyone was kind and respectful, but as a single, female traveller, i wasn’t super comfortable walking by a group of men at night to use the bathroom. There was also a man yelling profanity up and down the hallway while I was using the community shower - which felt a bit vulnerable.
Overall, though. It’s a very nice community. The other residents were respectful. The staff was kind. And the community restrooms and showers were always clean. The unit was also adorable.
Final note, as someone with a disability, I might recommend one of their other units aside from Breezy.
This was a steep walk up and down the property with several steps and rock ground.
