The Neighborhood:
Go east, young man (or woman). Austin’s hippest businesses are moving farther and farther in that direction, and Govalle has swiftly become an area that deserves one of your sunny afternoons.
Located between Webberville Road and Airport Boulevard, the neighborhood started as a cattle ranch in the 1850s. Swedish entrepreneur Swen Magnus Swenson used the Govalle ranch as a way to help more Swedes settle in Texas. He would pay for fellow countrymen to come to the U.S., and in exchange they would work on his ranch. If you want to sound like a local, then you’ll say Go-Valley, which is Swedish for “good grazing land.” These days, Govalle is a great neighborhood to grab a bite to eat, get a few drinks and even see some amazing art by local painters, sculptors and creators of all stripes.
Govalle is jam-packed with tons of cool mom-and-pop businesses. On Tillery Street, just south of Seventh, is a trendy outdoor coffee trailer, Filch. One of East Austin’s most insta-worthy sites is just up the road under the Seventh Street overpass. A few blocks north is a business campus that houses Createscape coworking, where a lot of Austin writers, filmmakers, techies and a variety of other self-employed professionals rent a desk or snag a daily hot seat. On the same property is a CBD shop that periodically hosts block parties and Squatch Frontier Fitness. This is the gym where your trainer works out.
Since Austin is such an outdoorsy city, and there are so many popular parks around town, many Govalle residents don’t even realize what an amazing surprise awaits them at the southeastern tip of the neighborhood. The Colorado River Preserve is a 43-acre parcel of pristine dry and wetland habitats. There's even a designated wildlife viewing area.

The host was very communicative. We wish that the hot tub worked, though, and we ran out of toilet paper.

Thank you so much for your feedback Elizabeth — we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
We’re glad to hear that you found our communication helpful and responsive throughout your stay. Providing clear and timely support is very important to us.
Regarding the hot tub, we sincerely apologize that it was not operational during your visit. Unfortunately, it was damaged by a previous guest just prior to your arrival, and while we arranged for repairs as quickly as possible, the required part did not arrive in time. We completely understand the disappointment, especially when it’s something you were looking forward to using.
As for the toilet paper, we always provide a starter supply for each reservation. However, if it runs low during your stay, we’re more than happy to arrange additional delivery — guests are welcome to message us anytime so we can assist promptly.
We truly appreciate your stay and your understanding. We’d love the opportunity to host you again in the future with everything fully up and running!
Everything was perfect, our group had an amazing time. This property was referred to us by a group that had previously stayed there and had a great experience too. Host was super attentive an made sure our group had an incredible stay. Couldn’t recommend this place more for a large group.

Thank you so much for staying with us and for your kind words Katherine! We’re glad to hear communication was smooth and that the space worked well for your group. 😊
Great house and amazing backyard! We will definitely be coming back! The host was super friendly, helpful, and responded quickly when we messaged them. It would be a perfect place for a chill bachelorette group, or a friends meetup.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review Bethany! 💛
We’re thrilled to hear you loved the house and the backyard — it’s one of our favorite features too. It means a lot to know our team made your stay even better with quick and friendly communication.
We’d be honored to host your group again, whether it’s for a chill bachelorette weekend or a fun friends’ getaway. You’re always welcome back!
Myself and 7 others stayed here and it was just amazing. We went to a festival and then after the festival we were able to come back here and chill in the tub and bus and just unwind. It was amazing really. It’s been hard adjusting back to reality after we left lol! Thank you for the stay it was AMAZING!
We stayed here for an Austin bachelor party and it was great. The house was very convenient to the bars downtown and a short drive to the airport. The house was clean, spacious, had a ton of beds, perfect for a large group. The backyard was great including the pool and hot tub. The host was easy to communicate with throughout the stay. Would highly recommend for large groups visiting Austin.
This place was the absolute BEST! We hosted a family Thanksgiving and birthday for my younger sister and we have a huge family and it accomodated everyone! Thank you so much for allowing us to rent your home for this special occasion.We hope to look forward to doing it again in the future.We definitely recommend this to those with big families

Downtown Austin Oasis
The house was lovely. But it needed some touch ups. The pool/hot tub was great. But hot tub was not a hot temp, lukewarmat best. Yard was nice. However it was next to a busy road. Plenty of beds, but some were in a redone closet. The house was in a decent neighborhood, and there was a park nearby. Again, some things in the house needed alittle attention. But it was a nice place to stay. We attended my son's graduation at the University of Texas Austin. So it was close by. The grocery store and gas options were very close. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Andrea, and for choosing our home during such a special occasion. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the pool, yard, convenient location, and the overall comfort of the house.
We also appreciate your honest feedback about the areas needing touch-ups. We’ve already passed along your notes about the hot tub temperature, minor maintenance needs, and the bedding layout so our team can address them promptly. Guest comfort is a priority for us, and your comments help us continue improving.
We’re glad the home’s proximity to UT Austin and nearby stores made your graduation weekend easier. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back again in the future!

Great Photos/Poorly Managed and Maintained
The property was clean, but several things were poorly maintained and not as described. We booked this space to enjoy the hot tub and weather, but all the lights over the outdoor space were not functional.
We contacted the hosts around sunset on Friday to tell them this, and we were assured that it would be fixed the following day. No one came to resolve this issue, even after contacting the host multiple times, so the backyard was pitch black by sunset around 5:45 p.m. Needless to say, we were not able to properly enjoy the yard games, hot tub, etc.
As for the poor management and maintenance, the fridge regularly leaked onto the floor, the thermostats continuously reset to 74 degrees, which I can only assume was intentional, and the house has settling issues, where the back door would not close without the deadbolt.
This listing states that there are eight bedrooms, but understand that this is because they converted all of the closets into sleeping areas by placing small beds, making this space much better for families with children than adults. This property is also within 50 feet of a very noisy road, so I would highly advise looking elsewhere if you are a light sleeper.
