Did you know we are home to some of the most epic events? The Formula 1 Races, MotoGP racing, ACL, or South by Southwest (SXSW) concert series.
Austin is the place to be and we've got you covered! All so very close to this townhome! Downtown Austin (1.8 mile), Barton Springs within Zilker Park (just 4 miles), Covert Park at Mount Bonnell (3 miles), or The Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail (a 10-mile trail is Austin’s most recognized and popular recreational area) to name a few... and we are just steps away from the UT campus, live music, bars, restaurants & shops! Be where all the action is! Not to mention it's just a short drive to Lake Travis for some awesome boating fun with friends and family for the day! Perfect place for your vacation!

This professionally designed home leaves no space untouched with its character and thoughtfulness. In the large living room entertainment and relaxation are catered with a couch to relax on (that also conveniently pulls out into a queen sofa bed if an extra bed is needed). The 65" 4K TV is just one of the dominant features, which provides access to some streaming devices, some basic cable, Xbox One, and PS5. In the cabinet you will find a couple family friendly board games to play as well.

The large open concept kitchen space with a large luxurious island (seats 3) has everything you'll need to prepare a family dinner or have a morning cup of coffee. 5 ways to make coffee! Breville espresso maker, Keurig, drip coffee, French press or pour over (starting supplies provided). Enjoy the large dining table (seats 8) to host your family or friends for a full dinner experience. You'll love this beautiful space!

When you head upstairs you'll be greeted with a hallway of bedrooms, a laundry space (starting supplies provided), and a full guest bathroom. On one wing of the upstairs you'll find the primary bedroom which has a comfortable Tempur-pedic king bed (sleeps 2), and large 4K Smart TV, walk-in closet (with pack n play, and an attached master bathroom (supplies provided) - you may never want to leave this room!
On the other wing of the upstairs houses the other 2 bedrooms. The second bedroom has a queen bed (sleeps 2) with a desk/ dedicated workspace for business travelers (second pack n play crib in this closet as well). The third bedroom has a full over full bunk bed (sleeps 4) and an air mattress (sleeps 2) if needed.

You will also be provided a 2 car garage. If you need more parking, there is normally plenty of free street parking right in front of the unit too.

Guests will have full access to the 3 bdrm townhome, side yard with grass patch (convenient for your fur babies! Yes, we are pet friendly), and a 2-car garage. Steps away is the beautiful green neighborhood park with lush greenery and trees perfect for a morning walk, exercising or playing with your pets or children. Steps in the other direction is Guadalupe St. where you are just minutes from all the action (shops/ restaurants/ bars/ clubs). You will love this location!

Best place we’ve ever stayed!
Richard and Janine have created a home that has all the comforts and conveniences one could ever imagine. My kids told me that this is their favorite place we’ve ever stayed. I can’t wait to come back!

Thought of everything!
Close to UT campus. No need to pack your chargers, they’re everywhere in this house, on each side of all the beds and at the kitchen island. Fully equipped kitchen with extras you normally don’t get such as an espresso maker, coffee pods, glass storage containers, KitchenAid mixer, etc. Beds are very comfortable, bathrooms nice and stocked with “extras”! 2 large tv’s with all the streaming channels! Love the 2 car garage with access directly into the house for safety. There’s an abandon building across the street that attracted a vagrant, so that’s the only thing I wish wasn’t there. It’s a prime location so hopefully someone will buy that property up soon and fix it up. But because I’m older and not prone to walking around at night, it didn’t really bother me. I’d definitely come back again and stay here for sure!! Close to a cute and delicious tacos restaurant and open for breakfast! . NOTE: all bedrooms are upstairs. We had my 87 yr old mother with me so we made sure someone accompanied her when she was going up and down as the stairs seem a bit steep for an older person. Just something to consider if you’re staying there with an elderly person.

Great stay!
Beautiful home and very thoughtfully prepared for guests. The home has charging cords everywhere which is such a nice touch. Also has great kid accommodations- toys, chairs, cups, cribs! This was so appreciated. Also great smart TVs which were easy to use. Janine was easy to work with and we were able to walk to many places! If you are sensitive to noise it might be a little loud as it’s near a fire station that seems to serve campus. Also, my email was added to some travel site (stellar state) which I had not authorized but was assured it was removed quickly.

Perfect location
Perfect location for our stay and the townhome was exactly as advertised. Decorated perfectly with so many added touches for comfort that were so thoughtful. Very clean as well. Our family will def be seeing if this is available first before we look at any other places on our trips. Kind of hate giving a great review so the secret is out :)
