Get the best of both worlds. You can bike 7 minutes to Zilker park or 10 minutes to downtown, then return home and listen to the crickets and watch the deer wander through the yard from the raised back porch. The house is designed by mid-century modern architect A.D. Stenger. It is located 7 min from downtown Austin. It is 5 minutes from Barton Springs, hiking and mountain biking trails, and sport climbing routes on the greenbelt. The living room, dining room, and kitchen are in an open plan great room with vaulted 10 to 13 foot ceilings. There is tons of natural light and 2 sliding glass doors that open onto the raised back patio offering a view of the mature oaks and cedar elms in the backyard. The kitchen is fully equipped. There is a flatscreen tv, stereo, blueray dvd player, Roku and free wifi. The raised back patio is a perfect place to relax in the lounge chairs and watch the kids play in the large yard below, or you can sit in the hammock while your dinner cooks on the gas barbecue grill. The master bedroom has a king bed with a private bathroom with shower and tub. The two other bedrooms have queen beds and share a full bathroom with shower and tub. The bedroom portion of the house is separated from the other side of the house by a door that acts as a great sound barrier. This is perfect for families with children or people who like to go to sleep at different times.

Comfortable, Quiet, Great Location!
The house is super cute and cozy with tons of natural light and a fabulous backyard. We love the quiet neighborhood which is only a few minutes away from everything we love about Austin - bike trails, parks, great food, music, Barton springs pool. We had a great time, loved the house and highly recommend this rental!

About the host
Hosted by Laura Maltz Gossen
We are an active family of three. We love all the fun outdoor activities Austin has to offer within 3 miles of our home such as biking, hiking, sport climbing, frisbee golf, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, and swimming in crystal clear springs. After a day of having fun outside we enjoy exploring the new local restaurants and listening to live music. Austin is a growing city so there is always new food to try.
Why they chose this property
It is close to all the amazing restaurants and exciting Austin events downtown but feels far away.
