Longhorn Lodge is located right in the heart of central Austin, just a short walk to "The Drag", University of Texas, Hyde Park, West Campus and Peace Park and a mile from the northern edge of downtown Austin. Lots to walk to and LESS THAN A 1/2 BLOCK to the local and lovely Wheatsville Co-op grocery store, legendary Black's BBQ, delicious Via 313 Pizza and bar, Hopfields, a french inspired gastropub and The Cheba Hut, a sub shop with a full bar and grill - all with great indoor and outdoor seating options.
Please note, while the Longhorn Lodge has lots to offer, it is an old home - doors and floors can creak, windows can shake and, at times, the bustling outside city can be heard indoors. Weekdays are relatively quiet but weekends can be lively into the night.
This is NOT a party house. The home is in a wonderful neighborhood. Our neighbors are longtime home owners, families, professors and students. We respect their privacy and, therefore, can not allow any parties or events of any kind. No bachelor or bachelorette parties or groups allowed. We also have a strict noise policy - no loud noise or outside noise or gatherings after 10:00 weeknights, 11:00 weekends.
If any of these issues concern you, please do not book. Otherwise, we welcome all respectful and well behaved guests and their families. Great news- all guests now have access to the front entrance and front porch.

This is a comfortable vintage house with just the right amount of updating and Austin hip. It is on the edge of a charming neighborhood yet has all the energy of West Campus. We hope to return!
This is a very old house, and the inside is mostly renovated. The outside looks like a drug house, is next to a laundry mat and the Drag, and surrounded by a bar in the back and front on the Drag. You hear everything outside, not to mention the creaking of every floor board. We are told to park in the back yard, and not allowed to go in and out of the front door. Also not allowed to sit on the front porch. It is close to Austin, but kids will not like it.
