The Space
Hang up your hat and kick off your boots! Built in 1894 by stonemason Robert Stanley, this registered historic landmark has undergone extensive renovations while still retaining its stately charm. Original stone walls? Yessir. Beautiful woodwork throughout? Yes ma'am. Updated kitchen and bathrooms? Yes, please! You'll find period details from back in the day, like handcrafted stairs, a mahogany library, and clawfoot tubs are juxtaposed nicely with the modern conveniences of high-end appliances, large tiled baths, marble showers, and 24 double-hung windows that allow great views and changing light during the day.
The main house is comforting and warm, with three floors of beautifully designed flex living spaces, 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
Bedroom 1 (1st floor) with 1 king size bed
Bedroom 2 (2nd floor) with 1 king size bed
Bedroom 3 (2nd floor) with 2 twin size beds
Bedroom 4 (Ground floor) with 1 queen size bed
Living space (Ground floor) with 1 queen sofa bed
Do you want to feel special? The fourth room is in a small cabin on the patio out back, which has a queen bed and a full bathroom, not to mention a spacious lawn for reenacting your favorite duels at high noon. Just outside the cabin, you'll find a BBQ, a large dining table for enjoying some grub and a sitting area where you can hang out with your gang. Did we mention there's a pool?! Jump in and cool off during those hot Texas summer days (Above ground pool. Available from May to October).
The Stanley is located just two blocks west of the South Congress entertainment district (did somebody say Torchy's?!), as well as major Austin attractions. You won't find an authentic Texas experience this close to downtown anywhere else. Registered both as a city and state landmark, The Stanley's contemporary upgrades give you the best of both worlds.
Traveling with your furry friend? We allow 2 dogs as long as their combined weight is no more than 60 lbs. (Must sign a pet agreement, and there's a fee per night. Certain breed restrictions apply.)
If you're looking for a stay that's about as Texas as it gets, then come on in, y'all. This lavish historical estate will have you feeling like a cattle baron without having to spend like one. Step inside The Stanley and take a trip back in time. Don't wait to reserve. Your retreat awaits!
