If you are not familiar with Austin, this property and location requires a HUGE FUN introduction… 😊 in a second you’ll see why. While we do not have a private pool or water "front," we do have something so UNUSUAL, SPECTACULAR and special we would love the opportunity to introduce you to BARTON SPRINGS Pool, 10 Mile LAKE hike & bike trail, Zilker Park and its potential for YOU. We also have easy access to Barton Creek Greenbelt hike. VRBO should have a filter check box for “OH my gosh you just gotta check out this location” for truly amazing sights & activities.

Thought went into every detail of this home's design to create the ultimate Zilker Park vacation get away. We are 7 minutes TO ALL THAT IS DOWNTOWN. We do not have a view of the park but WE ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT NEXT TO IT AND BARTON SPRINGS POOL. NO RENTAL IS CLOSER. 900+ square feet of outdoor living deck space at this property.

Property booked on a PER PERSON BASIS. (See description below)
QUOTE IS REQUIRED FOR ALL HOLIDAYS and ALL MARCH and OCTOBER dates. (instant booking not accepted)

This property sits 379 steps from ALL that is SO MUCH OUTDOOR FUN. Here, we are Zilker Park.

Briefly, Zilker Park is 358 acres of gorgeous center city park land and within it lies Barton Springs Pool which is fondly described as the crown jewels of Austin -The pool itself measures a whopping 3 ACRES in size, and is fed from underground springs with an average temperature of 68-70 degrees, ideal for year-round swimming. It is NOTHING shy of spectacular. Just search Barton Springs Pool for info.

In addition to Barton Springs Pool, this property has immediate access all of Zilker Park and the 10 miles of hike and bike trail surrounding the lake. This is Austin’s social hub for hiking, biking, & winter canoeing… RENTALS for ALL of these incredibly fun activities are within WALKING distance. Barton Creek Greenbelt also has a trail head in the park. IF you are a WATER lover, a nature lover, a CITY lover and a FOODIE!!- THIS property is for YOU!!

I kindly urge you to take special note that photos are all mine and just minutes from the property.

IN THE WORDS OF A GUEST... "A 10 minute walk gets you EVERYTHING...spring fed pool, lake, park, rooftop bar, bike and boat rentals, brewery, amazing restaurants, food truck park, top rated BBQ & Sushi, movie theater, LIVE MUSIC, botanical gardens, sculpture garden... the list goes on!!!"
ABOUT THE DESIGN: This property offers you inspired design focused on the style and relaxed appeal of Austin, with flavors of Costa Rica. The overall vibe is "oversized loft" and absolutely “a part of the park" with incredible floors made with huge individual rough flagstones, cool limestone walls and cedar wood ceilings. Restoration Hardware crystal chandeliers fill the dining area & lounge spaces with sparkling light. A breezy sun-drenched flex space at the far end of the home opens up to the main living area creating a huge social space. This area is so comfortable, relaxing and beautiful with banks of windows and a skylight. It is the perfect entertainment space for a large group. As a conversation/entertainment space, 2 overstuffed XL futon beds make up the sectional sofa. PLEASE NOTE SPECIAL 3RD BEDROOM DESIGN: If your group happens to need a third bedroom, then, this room, a gorgeous 7‘ suspended cedar wall slides over and a 6’ corrugated swinging door cleverly & privately tucks this space away with its own en-suite. This space is a MUST SEE-truly unique, fabulously fun & fully customizable for your needs any time day or night.
Enjoy cooking in a fully stocked stone and wood kitchen with a luxurious marble sink and custom gourmet prep island. The living/dining area is complete with 2 sets of French doors and 6 additional over-sized windows. A MASSIVE wrap around deck offers 4 distinct beautiful outdoor living spaces & spa. There are 2 impeccable stone and stucco full bathrooms with rainfall showers. Off the master with king bed, a large fenced yard allows for any accompanying pet to roam freely. The 2nd bedroom is small but has queen bed and 2 custom built in XL twin bunk beds, very whimsical. The 3rd bedroom, as described above, when closed off is just plain cool and comfy with XL twin beds. In the dining space, a 7.5’ custom cedar (built in place) table comfortably seats 8.

We are WALKING distance to so many of Austin’s finest dining experiences, pubs, night clubs and Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. Umlauff sculpture garden half a block away. This property is the complete private (no interior access) bottom level of a luxury duplex with convenient parking by the front door. It is a truly spectacular property in an unsurpassed location. The upper level of this property can be found on this site as well. 😊

Early check in fee or drop bag fees $111.00 apply. We are a very personalized operation and my very precious cleaning crew friends have to put in extra time and effort to accomplish your request. All of this money goes to the prep crew. Arrangement must be made 2 days prior to check in. We kindly ask your understanding that no exceptions can be granted.

**** GREAT flex rates apply to this property. THIS is like an INSURANCE POLICY. If you are forced to change your number of guests down the road you can be refunded for those unattending guests down to the base rate of 4 guests.. This helps your group avoid having to bear the unexpected expense of those who cannot make it. Only $75.00 per person/per night for each addt'l guest after the base rate of 4 guests.... Please see rental document for complete description. Other flat rate rentals do not give you this benefit. (Flex rates do not apply to holidays & some March and October dates.)

MAYBE ADD TO ALL THIS CRAZY FUN ???....We have another amazing opportunity for you.... We are nothing shy of being THRILLED and HONORED to be associated with a FABULOUS private Austin chef, Mike Thompson. Mike has been to our properties and can be contracted privately to cater your in home event...whether it be a dinner, brunch or perhaps an in home cooking class or culinary demonstration. Wee know from personal experience that his privately chauffeured hill country wine tour is INCREDIBLE!!!!!! :)

Since we are so close to the park and downtown a great option would be to have bicycles delivered to you and perhaps do a guided tour. This can be set up by you through Mike's Bikes and Tours. SO - MUCH - FUN!!!

This property is an exquisitely restored/remodeled LUXURY duplex, lower level. The upper duplex is a vacation rental property as well. Like the most luxurious hotels you can hear some noise transference. If you are sensitive to this, perhaps another property would better suit you. Pricing has been adjusted for noise potential.

Absolutely Incredible Property!
My wife and I stayed here with our one year old daughter. From the moment we booked the property, the host Lisa was amazing. She sent us a list of grocery stores, restaurants, trails, and amenities located near the house. The house is perfect! Super comfortable beds, smart TV, Hot Tub, and an awesome wrap around deck. The location is second to none. I truly is a short walk across the street to Barton Springs, and some beautiful walking trails. We loved every minute of our stay. We will definitely be coming back to stay again!

Eclipse weekend
From the minute we booked our Austin vacation rental a year ago, we couldn’t wait to see if it was as great as the pictures. We walked in Friday and couldn’t believe it was even better! Lisa was great to be sure that we had an everything we could possibly need or want, including bringing over dominoes when we asked about having them. The home, inside and out was designed beautifully and comfortably. Our only regret was not meeting Lisa to be able to thank her in person!

The house is amazing sooo cute and was spotless. The house was loaded with towels and blankets and sheets for the additional sleeping area. The host was so awesome she was so sweet and accommodating and even checked in to see if everything was okay. The location was family friendly. We walked across to Barton springs where the kids enjoyed running playing and some splashing in the water! We enjoyed our morning and afternoon coffee on the quiet patio this house was truly an oasis!

Fantastic location in the heart of Zilker
The property though smaller on square footage is only so on paper. The space is wide open, lots of beautiful natural light, plenty of space for our group. The flex space that doubles as a sitting room and third bedroom is clever. We’ve stayed at many VRBO properties over the years, and this is one of our favorites. You can literally walk across or down the street to Zilker Park, Umlauf, Barton Springs pool, Zilker boat rentals. The restaurants and food trucks on Barton Springs are all walkable within a half mile. We took our dog on a morning stroll to local coffee places, and even the walk over to Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar was hilly but doable. The weather was perfect to sit on the big wrap around patio, and the teens hopped into the hot tub after swimming in Barton Springs. The house had everything we needed for an easy long weekend. Everything fun in downtown Austin is less than 10 minute drive or walkable. If you ask me what is a downside of this place, I’d say that while it’s the first house across the street from everything, that street is steep and without sidewalks so if mobility is an issue, that 20 ft stretch of street might be tough. That’s it. Everything else is perfect.

Long weekend getaway
What a beautiful and comfortable place to use as our base camp for a long weekend getaway! It’s been 11 years since my husband, son, and I have been back to Austin since we moved away. This was the perfect location as it allowed us to easily explore all of Austin’s must-visit places! The park across the street gave the older kids a place to play while us adults enjoyed the shaded deck! The house is well-stocked, comfortable, and offers just the right amount of privacy for a good night’s sleep! We hope to be back soon!
