About this property
LAKE-POOL/SPRINGS-Kayak-SUP-SWIM-HIKE-bike-FOOD--& city-IN NATURE -HAVE IT ALL!
**Ai ERROR** I don't know where ai pulled a wide variety of games on-site? We are right next to the park and all the games and activities the Park has to offer and do not have a view of the park but what ai does mean is the following:
We are just across the street- literally 3 minutes to a (nothing else like it) jaw dropping water experience-Barton Springs Pool. Additionally, your stay will be as close as you can possibly get to the river, Ladybird Lake, the trailhead to the 10 mile hike and bike trail around the lake and also access to the vast hiking trails of the Barton Creek Greenbelt and Violet Crown trail. All around is incredible nature and all the beautiful things that Zilker Park has to offer.
Stunning rugged but refined property and location. Please read all this property has to offer and details on its VERY SPECIAL design.
LAKE, River, nature & POOL...Why book with a normal pool when you can experience THIS?!!
City of Austin operating license: OL 2013043878 Tropical Earthy Sparkle in the Park- POOL-KAYAK-SWIM-LAKE-BIKE-HIKE-SUP+CITY= Forest bathing in the city ;)
** 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.
Sparkly, all nature oriented, tranquil, soothing and FUN! Complete biophilic design!!!

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
About this UNBEATABLE LOCATION:
1) Barton Springs Pool -(simply phenomenal) 3-ACRE FRESHWATER SWIMMING HOLE is only 379 steps away. 2) 10 Mile Ladybird Lake LUSH Hike and Bike Trail 3) Botanical Gardens 4) Barton Creek Greenbelt hike 5) Umlauf Sculpture Gardens 6) Summer & Winter canoeing & kayaking
MAYBE ADD TO ALL THIS CRAZY FUN ?????....I am nothing shy of being THRILLED and HONORED to be associated with 2 FABULOUS Austin creatives, who can be contracted with, separately, to come to you during your stay here.
-Private chef, Mike Thompson can cater your in-home event...whether it be a dinner, brunch or perhaps an in-home cooking class or culinary demonstration. Also, I know from personal experience that his privately chauffeured hill country WINE TOUR is ...INCREDIBLE!!!!!! :)
-Wellness professional, Laura Darling brings relaxation and healing with private in-home sessions through yoga, guided meditation, sound bath healing or Pilates. Work with her to quiet your mind and find space to return to your natural balance, find peace and promote healing.
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 LOCATION IS A SOLID WOW!!!
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 Property is limited to OVERNIGHT guests, no corporate in and out.
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. See photos.
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 theCOMPLETELY 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.

Great place. Slept our 6 comfortably. Fully stocked. Excellent location. Great communication with owner. All around perfect set up for a vacation in Austin.
Home was Awesome. Location was Great for walking to Barton Springs and down Barton Springs Road to Restaurants. Quick drive to South Congress, Lady Bird Lake, Downtown and Tarrytown. Home was very well done- decorated very nicely- clean colors, natural materials- allot of windows and cozy seating areas. Porch is Amazing- goes on for days. We were in for the Austin Marathon with Family. Grilled Steaks outside for Valentine’s Day- Perfect!!Will definitely book again- We typically go to Austin 2 -3 times a year to visit our Daughter. Owner was very nice- available and very clear on instructions.Highly Recommend this VRBO!!
Had the best stay. It really is that close to the springs, which made the stay unforgettable. And Lisa is just the best. Book this place, you won’t regret it.
Last minute Independence Day getaway. Outstanding - in the heart of Austin - location. Incredible communication and customer service from our Host. Highly, highly recommend.
This house was perfect for our needs. Right across the street from the park and nature trails and walking distance to restaurants and downtown. We absolutely loved it and will be back.
Perfect location and very comfortable. The place has everything! Lisa was so kind and checked in to be sure everything was good. We would absolutely stay here again!
Beautiful home! Absolutely gorgeous. Very clean and spacious. So close to Barton springs. A 3 minute walk. The neighborhood is probably the best place to stay in Austin. The host is extremely friendly and response so quick. Couldn’t recommend this place enough! I plan on staying here the next time I come back!
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!!
We had a great time staying in Lisa’s home! The location really can’t be beat, and the house has so many areas for relaxing and hanging out. Our toddlers loved running around the deck and the many parks nearby. The host is an excellent communicator and always responded promptly to our needs.
