Summary:
*Please read full listing* Rhonda the Rambler is our 31' 1976 Holiday Rambler living her 3rd (maybe 4th) life as a Glamping RV. Rhonda is a labor of love & has been updated by several loving owners. She is a solid and welcoming gal, though a DIY vs show worthy restoration. Rhonda has a full bed in the rear, and twin sofa/bed in front. She's located about 5 miles SE of Downtown Austin & 7 miles from Austin International Airport in the Franklin Park neighborhood. Read more about Rhonda below!
The Space:
Please note, all guests staying at a Portoro home are required to sign a rental agreement and provide a valid form of ID.
Rhonda is a simple, serene, semi permanent tiny home in our back yard. We have separated out our backyard to create an awesome glamping type experience for Rhonda to live and for all of our guests to enjoy. She has been updated to include a kitchen sink, mini fridge, 32” smart TV, a real toilet and full shower. You'll have access to a private yard with a fire pit and BBQ! Rhonda does sit close to a somewhat busy street & street noise can be heard inside at times.
