** Valuable note on distance to Barton Springs Pool** YOU ARE NORTH GATE entrance to Barton Springs Pool which is 3 MINUTES. :) This gate opens at 6:00 AM !!-- TALK ABOUT A MAGICAL TIME TO SEE THE SPRINGS.

While we are NOT exactly LAKESIDE as Ai describes, we are just across the street- literally 3 minutes to a (nothing else like it) jaw dropping water experience, No home in Austin is on Ladybird lake, but your stay will be as close as you can possibly get to Barton Springs Pool, the river and Ladybird Lake. You have all 3!!!

Sparkly, all nature oriented, tranquil, soothing and FUN!

EVERYTHING outdoor design and ADVENTURE Austin amazing is right HERE. ..Plus easy access to All Austin city fun, shopping, bar hopping and FOOD!!!

I personally (Lisa) own, manage, designed & built this property. You will receive my highest standard of personal support throughout your stay. NOTHING corporate or sterile here.

* We know you will have the best possible Austin experience here. At this location we provide 6 out of the “usual” top 10 “things to do” in Austin list…and these are all

Please read and UNDERSTAND the 3rd bedroom configuration, it is VERY SPECIAL, VERY unique and VERY FUN!.

Upscale & unpretentious. This design strives to promotes a feeling of connectivity to NATURE. Relax & allow the stress of daily life to dissolve.

SO MUCH OUTDOOR FUN. Here

Tranquility of nature brought indoors for you!!!... Rustic-infused natural materials incorporated throughout.

HAVE IT ALL! SWIM, FLOAT, HIKE & EXPLORE... Right here.
If you are not familiar with Austin, this property and location requires a HUGE FUN introduction… in a second you’ll see why. While we do not have a private pool or water "front," we do have something so UNUSUAL, SPECTACULAR and special we would love the opportunity to introduce you to BARTON SPRINGS Pool, 10 Mile LAKE hike & bike trail, Zilker Park and its potential for YOU. We also have easy access to Barton Creek Greenbelt hike. VRBO should have a filter check box for “You just HAVE TO check out this location for spectacular activities."

Thought went into every detail of this home's design to create the ultimate Zilker Park vacation get away. We are 7 minutes TO ALL THAT IS DOWNTOWN. We do not have a view of the park but WE ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT NEXT TO IT AND BARTON SPRINGS POOL. NO RENTAL IS CLOSER. 900+ square feet of outdoor living deck space at this property.


This property sits 379 steps from ALL that is SO MUCH OUTDOOR FUN. Here, we are Zilker Park.

Property is so fun for groups up to 8

Briefly, Zilker Park is 358 acres of gorgeous center city park land and within it lies Barton Springs Pool which is fondly described as the crown jewels of Austin -The pool itself measures a whopping 3 ACRES in size, and is fed from underground springs with an average temperature of 68-70 degrees, ideal for year-round swimming. It is NOTHING shy of spectacular. Just search Barton Springs Pool for info.

In addition to Barton Springs Pool, this property has immediate access all of Zilker Park and the 10 miles of hike and bike trail surrounding the lake. This is Austin’s social hub for hiking, biking, & winter canoeing… RENTALS for ALL of these incredibly fun activities are within WALKING distance. Barton Creek Greenbelt also has a trail head in the park. IF you are a WATER lover, a nature lover, a CITY lover and a FOODIE!!- THIS property is for YOU!!

I kindly urge you to take special note that photos are all mine and just minutes from the property.

IN THE WORDS OF A GUEST... "A 10 minute walk gets you EVERYTHING...spring fed pool, lake, park, rooftop bar, bike and boat rentals, brewery, amazing restaurants, food truck park, top rated BBQ & Sushi, movie theater, LIVE MUSIC, botanical gardens, sculpture garden... the list goes on!!!"
ABOUT THE DESIGN: This property offers you inspired design focused on the style and relaxed appeal of Austin, with flavors of Costa Rica. The overall vibe is "oversized loft" and absolutely “a part of the park" with incredible floors made with huge individual rough flagstones, cool limestone walls and cedar wood ceilings. Restoration Hardware crystal chandeliers fill the dining area & lounge spaces with sparkling light. A breezy sun-drenched flex space at the far end of the home opens up to the main living area creating a huge social space. This area is so comfortable, relaxing and beautiful with banks of windows and a skylight. It is the perfect entertainment space for a large group. As a conversation/entertainment space, 2 overstuffed XL futon beds make up the sectional sofa. PLEASE NOTE SPECIAL 3RD BEDROOM DESIGN: If your group happens to need a third bedroom, then, this room, a gorgeous 7‘ suspended cedar wall slides over and a 6’ corrugated swinging door cleverly & privately tucks this space away with its own en-suite. This space is a MUST SEE-truly unique, fabulously fun & fully customizable for your needs any time day or night.
Enjoy cooking in a fully stocked stone and wood kitchen with a luxurious marble sink and custom gourmet prep island. The living/dining area is complete with 2 sets of French doors and 6 additional over-sized windows. A MASSIVE wrap around deck offers 4 distinct beautiful outdoor living spaces. There are 2 impeccable stone and stucco full bathrooms with rainfall showers. Off the master with king bed, a large fenced yard allows for any accompanying pet to roam freely. The 2nd bedroom is small but has queen bed and 2 custom built in XL twin bunk beds, very whimsical. The 3rd bedroom, as described above, when closed off is just plain cool and comfy with XL twin beds. In the dining space, a 7.5’ custom cedar (built in place) table comfortably seats 8.

We are WALKING distance to so many of Austin’s finest dining experiences, pubs, night clubs and Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. Umlauff sculpture garden half a block away. This property is the complete private (no interior access) bottom level of a luxury duplex with convenient parking by the front door. It is a truly spectacular property in an unsurpassed location. The upper level of this property can be found on this site as well.

Early check in/bag drop fee $111.00 apply. We are a very personalized operation and my very precious cleaning crew friends have to put in extra time and effort to accomplish your request. All of this money goes to the prep crew. Arrangement must be made 2 days prior to check in. We kindly ask your understanding that no exceptions can be granted. Thank you for understanding.

MAYBE ADD TO ALL THIS CRAZY FUN ???....We have another amazing opportunity for you.... We are nothing shy of being THRILLED and HONORED to be associated with a FABULOUS private Austin chef, Mike Thompson. Mike has been to our properties and can be contracted privately to cater your in home event...whether it be a dinner, brunch or perhaps an in home cooking class or culinary demonstration. Wee know from personal experience that his privately chauffeured hill country wine tour is INCREDIBLE!!!!!! :)

This property is an exquisitely restored/remodeled LUXURY duplex, lower level. The upper duplex is a vacation rental property as well. Like the most luxurious hotels you can hear some "slight" footfall noise transference. No expense was spared with extreme (latest & greatest) soundproofing materials used during this remodel. Please inquire if you have any questions regarding this.

The house looks great in pictures but actually made us gasp in person! The interior is SO beautifully decorated and unique. It’s very spacious, has beautiful outdoor areas for lounging, and the house was immaculately clean as well. Accessing the property was very easy, and the host is super friendly. They were easy to communicate with and very knowledgeable about the area. The location cannot be beat, you are so close to everything and the neighborhood was very pretty. This home was perfect for our group and I would stay here every time I’m in Austin!!

I can't say enough about this property! It is centrally located to many bars, shops, restaurants, tourist attractions, and a natural springs pool. It was incredibly clean and comfortable, and includes all of the comforts of home. It has a phenomenal deck that is ideal for groups and families! The host is wonderful! She gave us many suggestions and hints to make our girls trip fabulous! She was quick to respond when we had questions, and was the most friendly host I've ever experienced, and I've stayed at a lot of VRBO rentals! I would highly recommend this rental to all of my family and friends!
