Summer Special!...Access to the lake, park, Barton Springs & our Stock Tank Pool
Discover our charming two-bedroom home with a distinctive southwestern/Austin style. From here, it's an easy walk to Zilker Park (the site of ACL Music Festival), Lady Bird Lake, hike-and-bike trails, Barton Springs, restaurants and food trucks, and the Barton Creek Greenbelt. it's a short driving distance to nearby clubs and neighborhoods, including downtown and South Congress Avenue.
We have just added a Stock Tank Pool, a perfect place to relax and cool off during our Texas summers!
We have lived in the neighborhood since 2001, and we love the laid-back vibe that characterizes this area. We enjoy sharing the space and the area with guests from all over the country and even overseas.
We have a full kitchen available, and outdoor gas and charcoal grills. The house itself is stocked with books, art and music. We offer Amazon Prime and Apple TV, and Netflix and the other streamers are available for guests to log into using their own accounts.
Please note: We cannot accommodate check-ins less than 5 days in advance or long-term stays for more than five days. We also can only accommodate 5 people or less to provide the most comfortable environment for you! Our house features a king and queen-sized bed in two bedrooms with one bathroom. There is also a non-foldout sofa which can serve as an extra bed for one person.
The house has a big fenced backyard that lends itself to hanging out in good weather. There is a firepit and the stock tank pool available when circumstances permit. (Please note owners cannot be responsible for any mishaps resulting from the use of either the firepit or the pool).
This home has an "Austin" feel in an incredible neighborhood and is close to everything you're looking for in a visit to ATX!
The house is thoroughly cleaned between guests and has been occupied by the owners only. Contactless check-in is the standard at this time. We are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable stay. Any questions? Please contact the homeowners.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by John T. Davis
I'm a longtime Austinite who is a journalist and author. My beat over the years has covered the Austin and Texas music scenes, the local people and culture, and Texas and the Southwest. My wife is an attorney whose cousin, singer/songwriter Rosie Flores, introduced us. Both of us love art, music and cooking. We also love Austin and enjoy showing it off to friends and visitors.
Why they chose this property
Our house is wonderfully close to so many of the things that make Austin unique and desirable--Barton Springs Pool, Lady Bird Lake and its hike-and-bike trail, the vibrant downtown, and South Congress (aka SoCo), with its eclectic array of great shopping, good eating and live music. Austin has lots of great neighborhoods, but we like ours best.
What makes this property unique
Though the house was built in 1955 and still shows Mid-Century-Mod features, we both have a longstanding love affair with Santa Fe and the Southwest, and our decor reflects that. We have an extensive collection of books, many centered around Texas and New Mexico, and we are fortunate enough to have many pieces of original art. Guests tell us they "feel at home" when they are here, and that's what we strive for. It's not Instagram bait, but it is comfortable and personal and reflects the owners.
