Designer Home near University of Texas

Our Treehouse apartment is a mere 550 square feet, but the high ceilings and sunlight from the storefront-sized windows make it feel more spacious. The apartment footprint is modest to accommodate the mature American elm tree just a few feet away, a protected heritage tree. We lived an entire year in the Treehouse while our home was being renovated, so we can vouch for how comfy it is for a couple. The sofa bed is queen sized and comfortably accommodates two adults, but we definitely do not recommend our apartment for more than four adults. And if you're on the fence about a rental car in Austin, we vote yes. While it's totally possible to get around without a car, this IS Texas after all. The Salt Lick, the Wildflower Center, the Oasis, Jester King, Circuit of the Americas, etc. are not cheap cab fares! The exception to the rental car rec is for SXSW and ACL, or if you plan to be working at the University of Texas, Dell Children's Hospital or med school or some other downtown location where parking will be tough. There is a small outdoor seating area at the bottom of the apartment stairs. You will also have a parking spot in the gravel lot next to the garage off the alley. We both receive messages through the Airbnb messaging app and respond as quickly as possible, but please phone if it's extremely urgent. Hyde Park is Austin's oldest suburb, established in 1891. Unlike the rest of the city, it seems to be the only place that hasn't changed too much in the last 25 years. The house is a quick bus or cab ride from busy downtown. If you're on the fence about a rental car in Austin, we vote yes. While it's totally possible to get around without a car, this IS Texas where our cities were planned around roads. The Salt Lick, the Wildflower Center, the Oasis, Jester King, Circuit of the Americas, etc. are not cheap fares! The exception to the rental car rec is for SXSW and ACL, or if you plan to be working at the University of Texas, Dell Children's Hospital or med school or some other downtown location where parking will be tough. In that case, there are several different bus lines within a couple of blocks from the Treehouse. You'll see the small Metro Rail pass within a block our place, but the nearest stop is 1.7 miles away (Highland). Check out the Capital Metro website for more info or to load money to their app. Our favorite ride share companies are Ride Austin and Lyft -- it's rare that you ever wait more than 5 minutes for a ride from our place. We also live within the car2go car share service area.

South Congress Apartment

Our apartment is perfect for the budget traveler. It's very clean and with about 500 square feet it is spacious enough for 2 guests, although there is a fold out couch if you need it. Be sure to use the pillow top and comforter located on top of the bookshelf next to the couch. My wife and I lived here before buying the main house on the property. It was a great place to live and gave us many happy years. I'm sure you will love it too! Located near Congress and Riverside, just a few blocks away from longtime Austin establishments such as Guero's Taco Bar, The Continental Club, Allen's Boots, and many other amazing restaurants, shops and music venues. The South Congress bridge, where the bats emerge at sunset every evening from March to October, is just a few more blocks away and leads directly into the downtown area only a mile from our apartment, all within walking distance. You can pick up the hike and bike trail at the bridge as well, and it runs for many miles around Lady Bird Lake. Public bike rentals are within a five minute walk on Congress Avenue. There is plenty of parking on the street in front of our house.

Tree house Bungalow

1948 remodeled home, modern, newly built upstairs guest studio located in the heart of Austin, Texas. This particular bungalow was built in 2015, has hardwood floors, central heat and air, air jet bath tub and tempurpedic mattress. One of the most beautiful details of the treehouse is our reclaimed wood. My husband was born and raised in Austin and has taken part in recyclying wood from old Austin homes and milling trees that have fallen only to repurpose the wood for our treehouse.

B-side: Rockin' 5 stars for over 5 years!

** See "Guest Access" for information on pets and 7+ night stays!! Modern, walkable hideaway with incredible natural light in the super-chill Eastside Cherrywood neighborhood. No, really. There are like, tons of windows in there. Austin hotspots and events are a short ride share away from our central location. But with a well-appointed kitchen, hot restaurants, bars, and coffee shops just a short stroll away, and super comfy digs you may find you don't want to wander very far.
