About this property

Central eclectic, Barton Springs, great music, food, Dogs ok!

Perfect for any visit to Austin, my beautiful 4 bedroom/3 bath house is great to relax in after SXSW, Formula 1 or the ACL Music Fest. The Barton Hills neighborhood is central, quiet, beautiful & near downtown, with so many great places to eat, see & shop within walking distance.. 4 blocks to the Broken Spoke Saloon; the Saxon Pub, Alamo Drafthouse/Highball, Opa's, ABGBs, Barton Creek, Barton Springs & ACL all a walk away. Fully furnished. Standard TV, wireless internet, hot tub, covered porch with ceiling fans and speakers and a Weber gas grill.

The base price is for 3 bedrooms & 6 people. The living room includes a full-sized futon. The 4th bedroom is an office with a trundle bed (two twin beds, one above the other,) but can also be combined to become a king-size bed.

Please note: Most things are within walking distance - 24-hour restaurant and Walgreens, gas station, shops, the famous Broken Spoke country dance hall with great live music almost every night and even a city bus stop two blocks away on South Lamar that can take you downtown four miles away. Barton Springs pool and the 14-mile hike and bike greenbelt are both in the neighborhood.

The house was adorable and in a really nice neighborhood. Very clean and plenty of kitchen items you would typically use. There was even a little wine area and a wine fridge. Coffee beans to grind for fresh coffee was a nice touch. Close to downtown. Very responsive host. We had a great stay. The hot tub was an older one and wasn’t the best, the second night we used it the temp steadily dropped, but it was late and we didn’t want to disturb the host. We would definitely stay here again. It was a lovely house.

Fantastic Stay!

This is one of the best VRBO’s we’ve experienced in a long time. Nothing has come close to the amenities provided and it was perfect for entertaining family. Roomy, open and modern kitchen, comfortable beds (3 bedrooms), 3 baths including a claw foot tub, great hot tub, covered patio and all set in a beautiful neighborhood just off Lamar where there are plenty of restaurants. I highly recommend it to anyone desiring a fun, eclectic stay in a gorgeous area near downtown. Thanks for the wonderful experience!

Jewel in Austin

My family was visiting Austin for a wedding and thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay in this beautifully designed home in a great part of town. The kitchen is amazing with gorgeous appliances and a fun retro vibe. Too bad I had no time to cook! I’d be very happy to stay here again. And our little dog loved it too!!

Nice Property/Owner

My husband, his brother and our sister-in-law stayed at the property for ACL weekend. The house had lots of character and the neighborhood is nice. We had everything we needed, plenty of space, and the beds were comfortable. We didn’t use the hot tub or grill but enjoyed the outdoor space/seating. They owner was quick to answer any questions we had.

Nice location

Went for UT graduation ceremony weekend. Location is really good. Close to UT and downtown. Next to green belt trail. Very quiet neighborhood. House is filled up with nice surprises. Fully equipped kitchen with all the cooking items needed, including oil, spices, and more. Love the hot tub and tree house. Really enjoyed our stay there.

Perfect location

Close to downtown Austin to enjoy everything (Barton Springs, Zilker Park, 6th Street, Rainey Street and Town Lake). Sleeps 8 in separate rooms comfortably. Nice backyard area to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or grill out in the evening. This place has an Austin vibe that took me back to growing up in Austin. Sad to see all the trendy condos and McMansions springing up everywhere. This home is a perfect place for a large group.

Great house for get together

Reunion of friends in Austin. The house was just what we needed. Three separate bedrooms, plus overflow on the futon in the living room. (There's also a spare room with an air mattress, but you'll be more comfortable moving the futon mattress in.) Kitchen well-appointed, everything you need. Nice back porch for decompressing and chatting after a long day of sight seeing.

Great location - lots of personality

Karen’s house was perfect for a four nights stay while in town for a family event. The neighborhood is great – Walkable and convenient to downtown. Karen was easy to communicate with. We had an issue with a dripping shower, but her maintenance person came over quickly to repair it. The house is comfortable, well stocked and decorated with lots of personality! The backyard was great for relaxing, although we did not use the hot tub. We had a nice stay and would definitely recommend her home.

Great house and perfect location!

We rented this house for four nights during my son’s UT graduation. The location near Lamar and South Congress was excellent for experiencing all the great restaurants and shops the area has to offer. The house was very comfortable with an excellent back yard patio and yard that was perfect for morning coffee and evening cocktails. We loved the interesting (and quiet) neighborhood with all the different houses and hilly, curvy streets. Great for walking exercise.
