About this property

Charming, dog-friendly townhouse w/private gas grill, patio, & near downtown

Tarrytown Retreat is exactly what you need for your next thrilling trip to the Lone Star State! This dog-friendly retreat is one of two on the property in a side-by-side arrangement sharing one wall. It has its own entrance and fabulous outdoor space/private patio, which is perfect for your dog to freely run around and exercise. Inside, this two-level getaway offers a pristine and well-decorated living area equipped with a set of comfortable sofas strategically placed near each other for even more togetherness, creating the perfect spot to unwind and share fun times with your family or friends. The kitchen is fully-equipped and is ready to have your back whenever you feel like channeling your inner chef and treat your guests to memorable meals. Tarrytown Retreat also boasts a convenient gas grill in case you'd like to spice up your meals a tad.

What's nearby:
The nearby Red Bud Isle is a short one-mile drive away and it's the perfect place to go if you bring a pup along with you. It's a marvelous lakefront off-leash dog park with 13 acres of recreational space, plus hiking, canoeing, and kayaking! One of the most charming places nearby you can visit is the Oyster Landing Marina, which is a short half-a-mile drive away from your home. It's a nice place to come and enjoy the sunset by the hill. Open up your laptop by the water at Mozart's Coffee Roasters (dog-friendly patio), get your margarita on at Hula Hut, or enjoy a meal at Abel's on the Lake watching the boats come in and out of the dock. You'll be four miles away from the bustling heart of Austin and all of its dining options, live music, comedy dancing, and more!
