Private, design-forward and featuring original works by local artists, this custom-built home is nestled under a canopy of pecan trees and is perfect for remote working! Big Stacy pool, open year round is steps away. The Space: This quiet, historic neighborhood, walkable to South Congress and just south of Lady Bird Lake provides visitors with a genuine South Austin experience. Single travelers and couples alike will adore this one-of-a-kind space with lots of natural light and upscale amenities. We commissioned local architects, DCA to design this space specifically for our guests, right here in the heart of Travis Heights and near all the best Austin has to offer. Colorful, modern tile work, double "Hans Grohe" shower heads, and custom cabinetry are just of few of the finishes that complement the high ceilings and picture windows throughout. A spectacular covered patio and rooftop deck provide unique spaces to enjoy the great outdoors for yoga, reading, socializing, or remote working. We also offer complimentary Public Goods essentials for your comfort and locally roasted coffee for your local flavor experiences. FUN FILM FACT: Shortly after we moved into the front (original) home, we learned that our house was used in the 1993 film 'Dazed and Confused' by Richard Linklater. You can see the house best when Tony (Anthony Rapp) and Sabrina (Christin Hinojosa) are kissing goodbye (a tender moment) at the end of the film. The rooftop deck is a shared space for us and our guests. If you let us know in advance, we can reserve the rooftop for you. Seasonal Events like F1, and SXSW require a 4-night minimum rental.

Oct 21, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful views, great location My husband and I visited Austin for an anniversary get away. We had not been there in a long time and it is just a short drive from our home in Houston. This vacation home is located in a beautiful and peaceful neighborhood. It was very quiet and calm both day and night. It was easy to get to and from anywhere we wanted to go. This was a high end modern garage apartment behind a classic home. It has a very pleasant private covered patio area to sit when you want to drink your coffee in the morning. The interior is clean and decorated with artwork. The kitchen has everything you need and nice appliances. The restroom has a hot shower with different jet options. The bedroom is very nice and each of the windows do have shades, although you may need a step stool to reach one of them. We loved the minimal and artistic style of the whole place. I think I only wanted for a softer bed pillow and an extra hand towel, but I didn't take the time to reach out to ask. The owner was near by in the front house if we had needed anything! I would definitely stay there again, although I would want to avoid those big VRBO fees by instead booking directly with Stay local Austin. ##### Jenny C. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer K., Minneapolis Apr 25, 2019 #### Peaceful and Lovely Modern Guesthouse My husband and I stayed in this beautiful space for our 23rd wedding anniversary. The guesthouse is modern, clean, and very well designed. The furnishings, kitchen items, linens and other design choices were all very thoughtfully made; we could tell that the owners went out of their way to make the space the best it could be for their guests. We loved the covered outdoor patio, the proximity to the park, and the quiet surroundings. We were a bit sad to leave and look forward to our next visit! ##### Jennifer K. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hyatt Regency Dallas](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Dallas.h24753.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel ZaZa Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hotel-ZaZa-Austin.h38505624.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Austin Downtown South Congress](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Austin-Downtown-South-Congress.h17694.Hotel-Information) > > [Austin Marriott Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Austin-Marriott-Downtown.h45866780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Americas-Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Hilton-Americas-Houston.h976144.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Fairmont-Austin.h18156638.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Marquis Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Marriott-Marquis-Houston.h14986044.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Antonio-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-San-Antonio-River-Walk.h1848212.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Omni-Barton-Creek-Resort-Spa.h687230.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance Austin Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Renaissance-Austin-Hotel.h8075.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Austin.h20597750.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Austin.h8778760.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hilton-Austin.h976145.Hotel-Information) > > [Tommie Austin, part of Jdv by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Tommie-Austin.h67403449.Hotel-Information) > > [The LINE Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-The-LINE-Austin.h23193716.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Dallas Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Omni-Dallas-Hotel.h4488581.Hotel-Information) > > [The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-The-Post-Oak-Hotel-At-Uptown-Houston.h22340244.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House Austin/Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hyatt-House-AustinDowntown.h17061159.Hotel-Information) > > [Austin Proper Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Austin-Proper-Hotel.h33918361.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Anatole](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hilton-Anatole.h22945.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Austin -Town Lake by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Austin-Town-Lake.h9618.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin Downtown - University by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Austin-Downtown-University.h12302973.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Austin Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Omni-Austin-Hotel.h8540.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Austin Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Austin-Downtown.h5437747.Hotel-Information) > > [The Woodlands Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Conroe-Hotels-The-Woodlands-Resort.h25794.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Austin.h21746.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Van Zandt](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hotel-Van-Zandt.h10269315.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Dallas](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Fairmont-Dallas.h18280.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Dallas Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Sheraton-Dallas-Hotel.h43540.Hotel-Information) > > [Downright Austin, A Renaissance Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Downright-Austin.h7518.Hotel-Information)
