The Space:
Note: the pool noted here is a PUBLIC pool, and across the street from us! There is also a walking/jogging trail that spans around 1-1.5 miles and can lead you to the larger 10+ mile Austin Hike and Bike Trails System.
NEW HOT TUB!! Don’t have professional photos yet. See last cellphone photo. :) The tub is marketed to fit 7 people but for tall folks it comfortably fits 5.
House is single-level but located up a set of stairs from the street. There is only 1 off-street parking due to the 1950's character of the home, but you can park 3-4 more cars on the street (it is a corner lot). More parking for day visitors in the public park across the street.
The pricing here is for regular residential stays and not commercial shoots. Message us to inquire about rates for shooting content here. We also have a podcast studio on the same property that shares a backyard with this house, and a casita that the owners of this property often stay at when they are in town. While we welcome content creators, we do not exchange stays for promotion material. Inquire to learn more about booking the podcast studio, OR booking all 3 buildings (podcast studio, casita, main house) for longer term stays (2 weeks or more).

The Neighborhood:
This is a vibrant, artsy neighborhood typical of south austin. We have new construction houses next to houses from the 1950's-1960's. We have giant trees and great public parks.
We also are next door to a walking trail that somewhat connects with the 10 mile hike and bike trail. Rideshare is super easy here to DT or airport (usually under 4 minutes) but a car is still recommended if you are staying longer than a weekend.
Getting Around:
We recommend a car rental but taxi is very cheap to most tourist attractions in SoCo, SoLa, Rainey St, and DT.
