The Chote House - Designer Retreat + Pool + Casita

Welcome to The Chote House, a designer East Austin retreat by a renowned architect, where soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and thoughtful modern details create a stay that feels both elevated and effortless. Just minutes from downtown, South Congress, top dining, live music, SXSW, ACL, and Austin’s major events, this stylish home blends luxury, comfort, and an unbeatable location.



Designed for families and groups, the property features spacious gathering areas, a chef’s kitchen, spa-inspired bathrooms, hotel-quality bedding, a private detached casita, and a dipping pool that converts into an oversized hot tub.
