About this property

Barton Springs Hideaway. On the Park at Barton Springs Pool, mins to Downtown

Located directly across from Barton Springs Pool at Zilker Park, you can be steps away from a majority of the outdoor activities that make a visit to Austin so amazing while still having the convenience of being only two miles from the center of downtown.

The Hideaway is the downstairs apartment in our newly built home, designed to accommodate out-of-town family and friends when they come to visit. With two bedrooms, two baths, an open concept, a large kitchen, and lots of beds/pullouts, it’s the perfect basecamp for families or groups of friends that are looking to explore Austin.

The kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances, tons of counter space, a bar top island and a dining area that seats six. The open concept extends into the living room with lots of seating, a cozy pullout sectional and another nook with a desk.

The back bedroom is tucked away off the living room with a large TV, a queen bed, private bath with tub, and a view of the woods.

The front bedroom boasts various sleeping options with a queen bed, lofted twin, and a convertible sleeper. Attached to the second bath with a large walk-in shower, it has a TV and corner view that faces the park.

Just outside the kitchen there are two small terraced patio areas built into the hill along the woods with dining for six and an area to grill. The outdoor areas are meant for hanging out, however, these spaces provide limited privacy since the area is not fenced in and faces the road along the park.

Please note that you will be renting the lower portion of this home which is setup like a duplex. Just like hotels with rooms above them or apartments there is a level of noise that travels between units. A majority of the time, there will be a family of four living upstairs. Our rates are adjusted to take this into account and if you have any reason to believe that this could be a concern for anyone in your party then we’d suggest you find another place that you would be more comfortable staying at when visiting Austin. Additionally, with the home being directly across from the park and situated along the road to the parking lots to Barton Springs, you can also expect to hear road noise and the hustle and bustle of park goers, especially on the weekends during peak times.

To access this property you will have to use stairs. The home is situated at the bottom of the hill along Azie Morton Rd. The property has a short steep driveway as the approach to an uncovered gravel courtyard that can be used to park one car, with room for a second car to park directly behind on the inclined driveway. From that parking spot guests will need to go up ten stairs to enter the home.

Prior to check-in, we will send you detailed directions to ensure a seamless arrival. Special requests like pack and plays or high chairs can be requested prior to arrival.

We had a wonderful time at Brandon’s place. The place was beautiful, very clean, and very well stocked. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we could need, and the linens and beds were very comfortable. Brandon was easy to reach and very accommodating. The location was fabulous, so many great spots close by and easy to get around. We’ll definitely be back again!

Not a place you would want to rent

Nice place but the owners live above and they have young kids.. Their kids woke up early at 6-6:30 everyday and ran above all the room and drop balls and toys which made it very difficult for morning sleepers. If I was renting my basement I would make sure my kids would not be running during those days and keep them grounded at least that early of morning.

Spacious and clean

This property is wonderful. It’s located across the street from Zilker Park. We just walked over and enjoyed the park. The unit itself is new. Spacious. Clean. And comfortable. If you’re sensitive to noise, there is some noise during the day from upstairs. But totally quiet from 8 pm to 7 am. We enjoy our stay very much.

Nice Spot, Great Location, Could Improve

Great Location, nice property. Did not like the policy of requiring that I pay for damage insurance or a $3k deposit. On top of the known %30-40 of fees and taxes you’re going to incur on these rental property sites, I did not appreciate being cornered into that additional expense. Coffee machine had not been cleaned to the point of being very moldy. Not a big deal but definitely clean that thoroughly. The property above theirs rental was quite noisy as well.

NICE HOME AND GREAT LOCATION

Visiting Austin to see our son at UT. Home was really nice for the three of us and to get him out of his near campus apartment for a weekend. Home was VERY well appointed with everything you need to dine in if you wish to cook or close to great restaurants if that is your jam. My son appreciated record player in the living room which he'd NEVER personally seen before, and I told him how great vinyl sounds with the old school pops and cracks as we got pretty deep into a Boston album provided by the hosts. If you like to walk, this home is DIRECTLY across the street from Barton Springs pool and the network fo trails that snake along the shores of Barton Creek and the Colorado River through Austin, Just be mindful the driveway is steep and I recommend backing in to make it easier when you depart. Hosts were great and made the stay VERY easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend this location. I plan to stay again in the future if available.

Location-location-location

If u want to be in the middle of the action this is your place. Barton Springs Pool-Zilker Park-South Lamar-Lady Bird Lake-Downtown. The description of the property is spot on including a couple of small distractions. It is a totally private and access is private but it is below the owners home built on an incline. So there was some noise during day not at night and proximity to all that action was the trade off of being on a busy street. The owner mentioned both be neither was enough for me not to give it a 5 star. Would definitely stay again.

It was nice

Good place to stay, right across from park. Parking is a bit scary on steep stope of driveway. The place was clean except the floor is very dusty, since we all prefer to be barefoot at home this was a small issue where our feet got dirty quick. We rinsed and just wore shoes instead. Children can be heard at about 7am stomping and screaming but they provided earplugs so that helped too. Place was very cozy and comfortable in the dining, living room, and kitchen. Bedrooms were clean but bed was very hard and very warm. We sweated in bed a lot even with just the sheet. The host provided a fan in the closet which helped with this a lot and helped make the stay more comfortable. Overall stay rating, I would say 4/5, but the location, kindness of hosts and accommodations, and etc. Definitely all helped make it a 5/5 stay. We don't expect perfection and we could tell they tried their best to make it as comfortable as possible with known issues and provided solutions, that itself deserves 5/5 from us. Great place and definitely recommend.

Perfect End to Summer

We spent a few days here on a last minute trip to soak up the last bits of summer with our boys, and it couldn’t have been a better spot. The duplex was clean, cozy, and stocked up with everything we needed. Being just a short walk to Barton Springs Pool was such a win - we were able to enjoy the water without the hassle of driving or parking. The family lives upstairs, but it still felt private and comfortable. By the end of our trip, our boys were already asking when we would come back… overall a great stay that made our quick getaway feel special.
