The Bachelorette Pad
Where They Stayed
Dani and her bride squad snagged an adorable AirBNB rental on Austin's up-and-coming east side. By renting a house, the girls were able to get plenty of downtime and also save a bit of money by enjoying some snacks and pre-games at the house. The house slept 10 girls, so plenty of room for the whole squad!
