Great stay and perfect for larger group

Our group of 8 had the best time at this property! Nathan was SO communicative and made the check in/check out process so seamless for us. There are plenty of beds, a huge living room that fits everyone comfortably, laundry access, a full kitchen, etc. The neighborhood is also very cute and has a ton of nice properties! We certainly would stay her again and can't thank you enough for a great stay!!!

Super impressive

The house exceeded our expectation to accommodate our family for our daughter’s graduation. It was very clean and spacious. The back patio was a nice touch to accommodate us as well. The location was perfect! The host responded quickly & communicated very well! Will definitely rent this house again when we go back with a big group.

Memorial Day Weekend in Austin

Our stay at Nathan's place was very nice. The house was well stocked and clean. The beds were very comfortable, and the linens are so soft (felt like we were sleeping on clouds). I appreciated that the lamps in the rooms were dimmable, especially for the little ones. We surprisingly enjoyed the cowboy pool, the temperature of the water was perfect after going to the cold natural water spots in Austin. The house is located near attractions and easy to get to from the freeway.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re so happy you enjoyed the comfy beds, soft linens, and little touches like the dimmable lamps. Glad the cowboy pool was a hit after exploring Austin’s natural swimming spots, too! We’d love to host you and your family again anytime.

House accommodated our event well. The biggest complaint was cleanliness. There was hair all over the house from previous stayers. There was hair in the beds that were supposed to be clean and there were discarded contact lenses despite no one in our party being contact lense wearers

Thank you for choosing our home for your event and for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad the space accommodated your group well! We sincerely apologize for the cleanliness issues you encountered. This is absolutely not the standard we hold ourselves to, and we take it very seriously. Hair and personal items from previous guests should never make it past our cleaning inspection, and we've addressed this directly with our cleaning team to ensure it doesn't happen again. With 37 five-star reviews across platforms, we pride ourselves on providing a spotless, welcoming space, and we fell short of that for your stay. We'd love the opportunity to make it right if you ever visit again.

Hi, I’m Nate! My wife and I own and manage this Airbnb, and we live in South Austin with our two young sons. (Still convinced it’s the best part of the city!)
I’m a practicing attorney in Austin, but outside of work I enjoy brewing beer, roasting coffee, and exploring the local food scene. I’m always happy to share recommendations for great coffee shops, breweries, and restaurants nearby.
We’re excited to host you—welcome to ATX

Why they chose this property

This home is located in a pedestrian/family-friendly neighborhood, making it a great place for visitors to walk around and soak up the Austin vibes! It's a short ride from The YARD, which features Still Austin, the first bourbon distillery inside Austin City Limits since prohibition, St Elmo Brewery, and the Austin Winery. The homes in the neighborhood are that perfect combo of old Austin charm and new builds, which makes it an eclectic mix of everything that makes ATX so weird and great.

What makes this property unique

Our home is a midcentury two-story Austin home that has been carefully renovated to include every modern luxury without sacrificing the historic charm. The home has the original 1950s solid wood flooring and gorgeous Live Oak and Texas Pecan trees in the sprawling backyard.
