Charming Back House . Free Bikes . Tesla Charger

Enjoy a peaceful stay in this artsy one bedroom back house filled with plants, personality and a true Austin vibe. You will find a fully stocked kitchen to make your favorite dishes or snacks. Lounge on the couch and binge watch some Netflix on the TV. The bathroom is recently updated and includes a beautiful claw foot tub. Step out the back doors and onto the deck to enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine.

We call the space the 'back house' because it is a converted garage. Although you would never know it as you step through the door and see the vaulted ceilings with skylights. It’s super cozy but feels very spacious at the same time.

We typically rent the main house out through Airbnb as well so there is a very good possibility that you will see our other guests.

What is a MUST do in Austin?
We love Barton Springs (especially in warmer months). South Congress has so much in a close proximity. Park close to Jo’s Coffee and stroll from there (shopping, cafes, music!). Vera Cruz tacos are really the best Austin has! Our Capital is gorgeous and very worth a drive by!

We LOVE De Nada (walking distance) and Flitch Coffee. Even though there is so much in waling distance, these are our two MUSTS!

Our neighbors have kiddos, so we like to be quiet after 10pm.
