About this property

Modern Train Depot Farmhouse: Private 1 acre oasis

The most unique property in the area; fun & funky, this 1940's Train Depot has been turned into a stunning modern getaway on a full acre in the middle of NW Austin. 5 min to the Domain/Apple/IBM/Q2 Stadium, & only 15 min to downtown, this oasis of tranquility offers a huge deck shaded by live oaks, room to roam, a firepit, arcade, see ponies next door, & lots of parks/trails/restaurants nearby. The star of the show is the gorgeous kitchen, with imported quartzite counters & open concept living.

This is a three bedroom three bath home with two living areas (each with a queen sleeper sofa), with plenty of living and entertaining space. We even have a 60+ game arcade table, as well as another large board game/poker table or designated workspace. Spoil yourself in the kitchen with stunning quartzite countertops and fully loaded kitchen supplies, or step outside to soak up the breeze on the large deck, or have a campfire in the back yard. There is sleeping & eating space for 12. Note that the two single beds are a trundle set located in a huge closet attached to the en-suite bedroom with the king bed; Ideal for families or good friends.

*Furnishings and amenities will be furnished as described whenever possible. In the event that an item is damaged/broken/lost the Host will restock as soon as possible. All items in description/pictures are not guaranteed.

Guests will have access to the entire house except one locked closet used for host storage and extra supplies.
Other things to note
Please be aware that we have noticed poison ivy in the back yard in the past. We have tried to eradicate it, but please be watchful and mindful when using that space. There is calamine lotion and a first aid kit above the washer, should you need it.

We also request that you thoroughly read and review our House Rules with all members of your group before arrival; there are extra fees that will be charged for failure to keep the House Rules and checkout times. Thank you!!
