This is by far a little slice of heaven located right in the middle of everything but feels like a secluded getaway. Shakti was an excellent host and an amazing chef who brought us breakfast on our garden patio every morning which was a highlight to each day. The attention to detail was superb and the thoughtfulness that went into our stay by our hosts was something you wont see very often anymore and was greatly appreciated.

We had an absolutely fabulous time at Park Lane! The property is lovely and tucked away, yet within walking distance to South Congress. The breakfasts are to die for, the bedding is so comfy, the pool and outdoor shower (the latter of which is optional) are awesome, and the vibes there are just all-aeound excellent. Shakti and Samantha are amazing hosts, as well! Stay here, you won't regret it!

A True Austin Gem!

This is a real Austin gem! The room, the garden, the pool, the attentiveness of our host, the breakfast, were all excellent!!! What a delightfully peaceful and refreshing environment! And, the location was perfect; just a short walk to the vibrant South Congress district or a short Lyft/Uber ride (or longer walk) across the bridge over Ladybird Lake to downtown. Perfect place to get some time away and celebrate our anniversary!
